Liquidity, Flows, Circulation: The Cultural Logic of Environmentalization

Yvonne Volkart, lecturer and researcher at the Institute of Aesthetic Practice and Theory participates as a keynote speaker in the Online-Workshop Liquidity, Flows, Circulation: The Cultural Logic of Environmentalization hosted by Leuphana University Lündeburg:

It has become a truism that capital circulates, that data, populations and materials flow, that money offers liquidity. Investigating the production of these movements and states from a logistical perspective, the proposed workshop focusses on issues of endless, frictionless circulations and continuous flow to investigate their specific logic. Our assumption is that nothing circulates or flows without also being regulated. This places us within the discussions of environmentality, of regulation, modulation and control through the environment and qua processes of becoming-environmental. Focussing on concrete spaces of circulation, flow and liquidity, as well as their cultural (re)presentation, we want to discuss whether there is a cultural logic of environmentalization that revisits and perhaps radically revises the notion of the cultural logic of late capitalism famously described by Fredric Jameson.
