CNR 2014: Lectures: Olga Pek (CZE): Trans(who?)man
What can we learn about the transhumanist movement if we collapse its "overman" aspirations onto the already accomplished, hormonally and surgically augmented body of the trans wo/man? To what extent is (or is not) the "man of the future" a man at all? And what is the critical potential of the figure of the "last man" in this regard?
Olga Pek is a poet, translator, organizer and a postgrad student at the Charles University in Prague.
She organizes Prague Microfestival and co-edits the international revue VLAK and the Czech quarterly for contemporary poetry Psí Víno.
Her poetry translations from English have been published in the anthology Polibek s rozvodnou ("Kissing the Substation," 2012). She is a member of the TRYIE poetry collective.
