Workshop 'The Immense Regression: Reading Bernard Stiegler'
Convened by: Amélie Berger-Soraruff (MFO/NOTCOM)
Mode of attendance: In-person and online
This workshop welcomes Daniel Ross, translator of Bernard Stiegler’s What is called caring ? Vol. 1. The Immense regression for a discussion around Stiegler’s key philosophical themes.
Taking place on 6 March, from 9:00 to 12:00 at the Maison Française, this workshop aims to offer a thorough reading of the text. Each speakers will concentrate on a specific chapter and theme, hence enabling a detailed exploration of the book’s central stakes; its diagnosis of contemporary regression; its critique of political economy; automation and computational capitalism; and its reformulation of care as a political and civic task.
This session is designed both for readers already familiar with Stiegler’s work and for those approaching his thought for the first time. Alongside textual analysis, the workshop will provide contextual orientation and conceptual clarification, ensuring accessibility for everyone.
