WiSER invites you to the 2015 session of the Johannesburg Workshop in Theory and Criticism (JWTC) which is centred around the theme “Bios, Techné and the Manufacture of Happiness”.
The closed welcoming celebrations will take place on Sunday, 28 June, and the series will kick off on Monday, 29 June, at 10:30 AM. Everyone is welcome to attend the public lectures and performances which will take place in the WiSER Seminar Room at the University of the Witwatersrand, unless otherwise indicated.
Throughout the session authors Achille Mbembe, Thembinkosi Goniwe, Catherine Burns, David Theo Goldberg, Bronwyn Law-Viljoen and Ackbar Abbas will present lectures in which they tackle the question of happiness.
