  Hi all,
  
  Andrea Righi will be giving a talk on “The Symbolic Economy of Neoliberal Digital Technology” Monday, Feb. 25, 5:30pm. Unfortunately, I don’t have much information other than the title, but I thought it may be of interest to some of you. I’ve also been told there will be snacks!
  
  Feel free to join if of interest!

  I’m looking forward to meeting members of the Digital Humanities Research Group (and thank you for your co-sponsorship). Here is the abstract of Righi’s talk:
  In this paper I question current views on the Quantified Self Movement (and self-tracking devices in general) as a solipsistic form of self-knowledge by framing the latter within the neoliberal symbolic economy of the Other. In particular, I disclose and provide an analysis of two salient characteristics: the subject’s drifting toward the incommensurable flow of nature that produces what I call a “corpulent” perception of time and the self-tracker’s sacrificial enjoyment propped by a secularized form of accountability.
  
  And here is a link to the article from which the talk will come:

  Thank you for your interest.
