MUTE LAUNCH & TALK






**MUTE LAUNCH & TALK**

Jack your flesh out of Twitter and drag it along to the launch of Mute's Exhuming the Human issue (Vol 2 # 11 issue).


In this issue of Mute we revisit the question of 'the human' in the age of biopolitics. What do philosophers, activists and 'pro-revolutionaries' have to say about homo sapiens in a world where monstrous claims on value demand populations be reduced to 'bare life [hardworking] life'? From repression of messy 'species being' in revolutionary milieus, to the managerial dream of putting supposed species traits like language and empathy to work, the stakes of determining humanness, or resisting that determination, are high.

This issue includes: writing by John Barker, Mark Crinson, Erik Empson, Andrew Fisher, Neil Gray, Peter Linebaugh, Nina Power and Howard Slater, and artwork by Theo Michael.
