VLADMAIL RECORDS vol.3: ENGULFING

This session turned around Hannah O’Flynn’s developing research for her thesis. The central question of this session was to look at how the fiction of the infinite reproduction of capital has been historically constructed. To do this, we examined the mechanism of the spatial frontier of appropriation, a.k.a. the colonial project of capitalism. Attention was be put on the exploitation of the colonised subject and the woman’s body, agricultural technology and the acceleration of “natural” reproductive time into the time of capital. This was done in dialogue with the Hong Kongnese horror film ‘Dumplings’, by Fruit Chan.

Presenting: Hannah O'Flynn

Commenting: Amitabh Rai, Raúl Silva, Sepideh Behruzian, Rafael Mayu Nolte, Litchi Ly Friedrich & Ian Nolan
