American Studies Events

Location

Professor McKenzie Wark will give a talk on her book, Raving. Brooklyn's queer and trans centered techno rave scene is having a moment. Like any thriving cultural scene, writing about it calls for the creation of fresh language to express and extend what's vital about it. Wark writes as an extension of rave practice. She is particularly interested in trans experiences on the dancefloor, in what the rave is giving for us. Through close attention to the perception and description of this discreet little world, she also seeks to express something about what such a collaborative art can be at this moment in history, when a world is ending.
