The programme will include keynotes by Rosemary Klich, Jennifer Parker-
Starbuck and Stelarc, paper presentations, performances, video 
showings, a small exhibition space and a gallery in Second Life.
About: "...models of subjectivity that call into question the humanist concept of the body as a biological entity, and as the "container" of the human subject"... "drawing attention to inconsistencies between the theory's wider cultural implications and socio-political realities, others insisting on the possibility of a biological definition of humanness"...  "It is therefore now an apposite moment to revisit the idea of the posthuman, and posthumanist approaches to performance art and theatre. The aim of (re)Performing the Posthuman is to create an opportunity to do precisely this and to discuss in what form (if any) non-humanist concepts of the body and subjectivity may still be useful as a conceptual and analytical framework in performance arts."
