The reason Foucault cared about sexuality and its dominant discursive figurations and strategies, was because he cared about the formations of modern power within which he lived. This talk asks, what would the figures of power be if Foucault were writing today in the shadow of climate change, the emergence of the security state, and the shaking of neoliberalism.<\/p>\n<p>4:45pm\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Break<\/p>\n<p>5:00pm\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <b>Plenary: Natalie Jeremijenko<br \/>\n<b><b><a href=\"http:\/\/c21uwm.com\/anthropocene\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/dragonfly-bird-Copy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"dragonfly bird - Copy\" src=\"http:\/\/c21uwm.com\/anthropocene\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/dragonfly-bird-Copy-300x155.jpg\" width=\"55\" height=\"28\" \/><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/b><\/b><\/b>xdesign Environmental Health Clinic, NYU<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/c21uwm.com\/anthropocene\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/white.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"white\" src=\"http:\/\/c21uwm.com\/anthropocene\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/white-300x131.jpg\" width=\"32\" height=\"14\" \/><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 Introduced by Dehlia Hannah<i><\/i><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Wrestling Rhinoceros Beetles, Singing with Mussels, and Other Lifestyle Experiments&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>Abstract forthcoming<\/em><\/p>\n<p>6:30-8:00pm\u00a0 Reception<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><a id=\"fri\"><\/a><span style=\"color: #1e7a7a;\">FRIDAY, APRIL 11<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>8:30am\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Coffee (Curtin Hall lobby)<\/p>\n<p>9:00am\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <b>Plenary: Myra J.

Whether in the form of mining, nuclear, industrial, hazardous, sewage or municipal, and whether it is dumped, landfilled, incinerated or buried deep underground, waste constitutes perhaps the most abundant and enduring \u2018trace\u2019 of the human for epochs to come. But we are not so much leaving behind our waste for some imagined future humanity to deciper our history, as we are bequeathing a particular futurity through a projected responsibility. My research considers waste as a form of what I call terminal capitalism; a state whereby our only solution for dealing with the toxicity our relentless consumption and planetary depletion generates is by producing permanently temporary waste deposits for imagined futures to resolve. Through a compendium of field notes, participant observation, interviews, and archival research, this address examines three Canadian waste landscapes from what might be called an inhuman feminist perspective that invite questions about what is and is not meant to be seen, uncovered, dealt with, admired, entrusted, and forgotten. This address reflects upon what it means to be interested in and curious about our waste legacy: how to prepare for, represent, and participate in waste landscapes, attending as much to geo-biological processes as human political-economic practices.<\/p>\n<p>10:15am\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Break<\/p>\n<p>10:30am\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <b>Breakout Session 1<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"c21uwm.com\/anthropocene\/abstracts#Queer\">Queer Futures (Curtin Hall 175)<\/a><br \/>\nPanel Chair: Elena Gorfinkel<br \/>\n\u25ca\u00a0\u00a0Jami Weinstein, \u201cCruising Dystopias: Queerfeminist Futurities and The Anthropocene\u201d<br \/>\n\u25ca\u00a0\u00a0Claire Brault, \u201cCapitalocentric Temporality as Uchronia: Futurological Climate Sciences Rush to Gaia&#8217;s Deathbed\u201d<br \/>\n\u25ca\u00a0 Miriam Tola, \u201cIsabelle Stengers and Feminism: Deep Futures Beyond the Anthropocene\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"c21uwm.com\/anthropocene\/abstracts#sub1\">Anthropocene Subjects I (Curtin Hall 118)<\/a><br \/>\nPanel Chair: Jessi Lehman<br \/>\n\u25ca\u00a0 Kai Bosworth, &#8220;Porous bodies :: porous earth: permeable spaces of feminist geophilosophy&#8221;<br \/>\n\u25ca\u00a0 Kathryn Yusoff, &#8220;Coal: queer genealogies in\/of the blood&#8221;<br \/>\n\u25ca\u00a0 Rory Rowan, &#8220;Bodies Politic\/Bodies Geologic: Difference, Universality and the Subject of the Anthropocene&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"c21uwm.com\/anthropocene\/abstracts#contam\">Contamination (Curtin Hall 108)<\/a><br \/>\nPanel Chair: Michael Oldani<br \/>\n\u25ca\u00a0\u00a0 Selmin Kara, \u201cFeminist Anthropocenema\u201d<br \/>\n\u25ca \u00a0 Melody Jue, \u201cNoise Pollution: Anthropo-scenes Beyond Geologic Thought\u201d<br \/>\n\u25ca\u00a0 Michael Oldani, &#8220;Deep Pharma: Anthropology as Pharmaceutical Detox&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>12:00pm\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Lunch (Curtin Hall)<\/p>\n<p>1:00pm\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <b>Film Screening: <i>Goodbye Gauley Mountain: An Ecosexual Love Story\u00a0<\/i><\/b><br \/>\n<b><b><b><b><a href=\"http:\/\/c21uwm.com\/anthropocene\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/dragonfly-bird-Copy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"dragonfly bird -

The term generates modes of knowing and being incapable of responding to the cataclysmic complexities of the anthropocene itself. Feminism, undetectable in the solid block of the \u201canthro,\u201d nonetheless offers invaluable modes of grappling with onto-epistemological and profoundly ethical matters that become us and undo us. Rather than imagining the human subject as a geological force who has left his mark on the planet, I call for industrialized humans to consider how ocean acidification dissolves the shells of sea creatures, and to contemplate our own shells on acid\u2014liquifying the outline of the human. The toxic bodies of the anthropocene\u2014and they are all toxic\u2014call us to dissolve into an ethics of vulnerability, to inhabit the biophysical landscapes of risk, fluctuation, uncertainty, pleasure, and harm.\u00a0 This is a world where creatures, including human creatures, struggle, experiment, and negotiate the strange agencies at the crossroads of bodies and places, making sense, making do. The predominant formulation of the anthropocene as terrestrial and geological need be complemented by approaches that address the chemical, biological, and aquatic dimensions of current environmental crises. Thinking from below, from immersed, liquid locales involves posthumanisms and material feminisms.<\/p>\n<p>7:00pm\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Poetry Reading: Juliana Spahr<br \/>\n<b><b><b><a href=\"http:\/\/c21uwm.com\/anthropocene\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/dragonfly-bird-Copy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"dragonfly bird - Copy\" src=\"http:\/\/c21uwm.com\/anthropocene\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/dragonfly-bird-Copy-300x155.jpg\" width=\"55\" height=\"28\" \/><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/b>\u00a0 <\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.woodlandpattern.org\/\">Woodland Pattern<\/a> (720 East Locust St)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#top\">top<\/a><\/p>\n<h4 id=\"sat\"><span style=\"color: #1e7a7a;\">SATURDAY, APRIL 12<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>8:30am\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Coffee (Curtin Hall lobby)<\/p>\n<p>9:00am\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <b>Plenary: Juliana Spahr<\/b><br \/>\n<b><b><b><a href=\"http:\/\/c21uwm.com\/anthropocene\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/dragonfly-bird-Copy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"dragonfly bird - Copy\" src=\"http:\/\/c21uwm.com\/anthropocene\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/dragonfly-bird-Copy-300x155.jpg\" width=\"55\" height=\"28\" \/><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/b>\u00a0 <\/b>Poet; English, Mills College<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/c21uwm.com\/anthropocene\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/white.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"white\" src=\"http:\/\/c21uwm.com\/anthropocene\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/white-300x131.jpg\" width=\"32\" height=\"14\" \/><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 Introduced by Stephanie Youngblood<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Gender Abolition and Ecotone War&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Gender Abolition and Ecotone War is from an in progress book that I am writing with Joshua Clover. Our work is indebted to poetry, we begin with the example of the Hawaiian creation chant the Kumulipo, but our interest is in attempting to think about what sorts of anti-capitalist, and thus ecological, struggle might be meaningful in this moment. We have put the word &#8220;war&#8221; next to the word &#8220;ecotone&#8221; because we think that this struggle might be most usefully located in the places where two biomes meet, especially in the ur-ecotone of land and sea. But we also have used this conference as a chance to think about the gender differential as another possible ecotone and gender abolition as another necessary possibility when trying to imagine an ecotone war. While we begin with poetry, we middle with Italian Marxist-feminism, and then we end with some thoughts about all too brief blockade of the Port of Oakland in 2011.<\/p>\n<p>10:15am\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Break<\/p>\n<p>10:30-12:00\u00a0\u00a0 <b>Breakout Session 3<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"c21uwm.com\/anthropocene\/abstracts#hosp2\">Hospitality\/Hostility I (Curtin Hall 124)<\/a><br \/>\nPanel Chair: Katherine Behar<br \/>\n\u25ca\u00a0 Heather Davis, \u201cThe Queer Futurity of Plastic\u201d<br \/>\n\u25ca\u00a0 Nicole Starosieleski, \u201cCalibrating a Sense of Environment: Artificial Cooling and the Biopolitics of Thermoception\u201d<br \/>\n\u25ca Jamie \u201cSkye\u201d Bianco, \u201c#saltNsea\u00a0: just another postnatural clustermuck and paradise\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"c21uwm.com\/anthropocene\/abstracts#geo\">Geophilosophy and Feminism (Curtin Hall 118)<\/a><br \/>\nPanel Chair: Bruce Braun<br \/>\n\u25ca\u00a0\u00a0Angela Last, \u201cOne in Other: Bodily Interventions in the Anthropocene\u201d<br \/>\n\u25ca\u00a0 Jessi Lehman, \u201cLife and Death at\/of Anthropocene Seas\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"c21uwm.com\/anthropocene\/abstracts#multi\">Multi-Species (Curtin Hall 103)<\/a><br \/>\nPanel Chair: Nigel Rothfels<br \/>\n\u25ca\u00a0\u00a0Greta Gaard, \u201cWhat\u2019s the story?

emergence in time requires new forms of narrative, imaginative and ethical articulation, then the intensifying sense of the species&#8217; end makes a similar claim for rethinking &#8216;our&#8217; processes of self-presentation and self-preservation.<\/p>\n<p>One of the dominant motifs of the anthropocene is climate change, which (as Bruno Latour has argued) closes down the modern conception of the infinite universe, drawing us back once again to the parochial, limited and exhausted earth.\u00a0 It might be worth redefining all those hyper-modern proclamations of a\u00a0 post-human and post-racial future as hypo-modern, as refusals of the species&#8217; bounded temporality.\u00a0 Nowhere is this more evident than in the seemingly modern fascination with sexual difference.\u00a0 It is the possibility of transcending sexual difference &#8212; of arriving at indifference &#8212; that has always been harbored as the human species&#8217; end.<\/p>\n<p>2:15pm\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Break<\/p>\n<p>2:30-4:00pm\u00a0 <b>Breakout Session 4<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"c21uwm.com\/anthropocene\/abstracts#hosp3\">Hospitality\/Hostility II (Curtin Hall 124)<\/a><br \/>\nPanel Chair: Jaimie &#8220;Skye&#8221;
