Anna and Grace invite you to gunnhilde’s leg, a critical theory reading group with a focus on the body and cybernetics. We hope this will be a space of talking and thinking for postgrads and other interested parties.
Each session will focus on an excerpt from a work of theory, paired with a companion text/video/podcast. We encourage you to look at the materials in advance and will provide pdfs where necessary. We also encourage you to bring a text, object, or image from your own research or thinking life which relates to the theme of the session.
You don’t need to be familiar with critical approaches or any of the proposed readings to participate.

Please RSVP at [email protected] or [email protected].
Readings: we will base our discussion around an excerpt from Haraway’s Cyborg Manifesto, which you can find in the pdf below. We’ve also included some additional gobbets from other texts which we find useful as companion pieces. Please read as much or as little as you would like!
