Call for Participation | Pelion Summer Lab 2019 “Data & Power”
We are happy to announce that this summer we will
be hosting the 3rd Pelion Summer Lab for
Cultural Theory and Experimental Humanities (PSL)
(August 21-August 31, 2019), an initiative
of the Department of History, Archaeology and Social
Anthropology and the Laboratory of Social
Anthropology of the University of Thessaly in Volos, Greece.
The aim of this 10-day program ( August 21-August 31,
2019 ) is to convene an interdisciplinary
group of young researchers and cultural producers from
fields such as anthropology, history,
sociology, arts, political philosophy, gender studies,
literature, cultural studies, communication
and new media studies for a period of intensive
exchange regarding the pressing questions of our
research and our worlds.
This year’s theme - Data & Power - takes on the
critical issue of how the production, mining,
and manipulation of data through algorithmic procedures
has emerged as an increasingly
dominant mode of political regulation, capitalist
exploitation, identity formation, cultural
expression and knowledge generation.

Karatzogianni (Leicester), Penelope Papailias (Thessaly),

Mantzios (Toronto).
What : Three jointly-taught, faculty-led seminars; an

create a serious game to be played in a public
event on the last day of the lab; plus screenings,
local performances, hikes and other special events.
