On the 16th of March, members of the academic community joined for the third RESONANCE Reading Group on Chapter 5 of the book Resonance: A Sociology of Our Relationship to the World, by Hartmut Rosa. The chapter – Resonance and Alienation as Basic Categories of a Theory of Our Relationship to the World – explores two social effects of Rosa’s approach to a material-discursive (radical) relationality that is inherently affective. This is a crucial text to explore the material relationality of bodies, space, and the vibrations of modernity as both a historical category and a pernicious, insidious, infrastructure impacting our living in the world. This reading group iwas led by Hélia Marçal (IHA, FCSH-UNL). The meeting took place in person over lunch on the FCSH campus.
