π¬οΈ HERD / Atmospherics
A session presented by the Institute for Contemporary Critical Thought
This gathering is part of an ongoing intellectual series centred on the concept of the HERD β hosted by Kari Lancaster, Marsha Rosengarten, and Nele Jensen. Across its sessions, the series reimagines the herd through multiple lenses: as Species, The Masses, Atmospherics, Population, Kin, and beyond.
π¨ About This Session
Molly McPhee and Nerea Calvillo Gonzalez lead this particular gathering, which frames the herd as fundamentally atmospheric β a collective condition shaped by diffusions, suffusions, putrefactions, and pollutions that bind bodies together through shared exposure.
Rather than a social or biological formation, the herd here is understood as an environmental and affective phenomenon β governed, composed, and disrupted by air itself.
π Key Themes Explored
- π«οΈ How perceptions of toxicity and miasma shape collective infrastructures
- π€ The material formation of collectivity through atmospheric management
- π§ͺ Sensing herd de/compositions via co-exposures and shared permeability
- βοΈ Air as both a medium of discipline and harm, and a site of protective logic
- π³οΈβπ The queer politics of pollution and decay as generative forces of resistance
- π± Contested coexistence and the emergence of new forms of collective life
π Pre-Reading
Participants will receive preparatory readings in advance to support thoughtful engagement with the session's themes.
