Launch of e-flux journal Issue #131 

Please join the editors of e-flux journal on Wednesday, December 7 at 7pm for a special evening launching the journal’s current Issue #131.

Authors Sabu Kohso and Matt Peterson will discuss their conversation “The Catastrophe Revealed: On Radiation and Revolution,” which traces deep, interconnected fault lines between the ongoing aftermaths of the Fukushima disaster and the Covid pandemic, as well as the imperial and also liberatory history of activist movements in Tokyo, New York, and all places where people rise up against a disintegrating world. 

Authors Leon Dische Becker and Cosmo Bjorkenheim will discuss their essay “A Cursed Franchise: Reliving Colonial Nightmares Through Endless Sci-fi Remakes,” which, among other things, recommends against Hollywood directors mounting a fourth remake of H. G. Wells’s The Island of Doctor Moreau, arguing that its curses and racist colonial critiques are better left in the past.

The evening will be introduced and moderated by the journal editors.
