Posthumanism, Bioconstitutionalism and Hela-True Life Science Fiction: Sherryl Vint at TEDxUCRSalon

Sherry Vint is a professor at the University of California, Riverside. Her work begins from the premise that popular culture both expresses the cultural anxieties and preoccupations of its contemporary audience and intervenes in the construction of ultural common sense, engaging with rather than merely reflecting surrounding technoculture. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
