5 Events with philosopher Mario Perniola
Mario Perniola is Professor of Aesthetics at the University of Rome, 2, and author of groundbreaking books such as The Sex Appeal of the Inorganic (Continuum, 2004); and Art and Its Shadow (Continuum, 2004). According to Perniola, one of Italy’s most prominent philosophers,what is at stake in today’s world is not so much the relation human/animal as the one between the organic and the inorganic.
Perniola will be Visiting Professor in the School of Languages and Cultures, Faculty of Arts, University of Sydney in May, 2008.

Come and hear Perniola’s thoughts in this first Australian speaking tour.
