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.
