KX - Critique & Humanism Publishing House and the Centre for Culture and Information of the Republic of Macedonia present:
Sanitary Enigma
discussion with the participation of Jasna Koteska about the striving for clean identities in the epoch of sanitarity.
The book Sanitary Enigma by Jasna Koteska, around which the discussion will evolve, challenges notions like „subjectness” and „identity” (on a personal plane, as well as on a group one), and offers intriguing new concepts such as „extended subject” and „agglomerate psyche”. Another provoking thesis also to be discussed is the qualification of the late postmodernity (the present time) as an epoch of sanitarity.

In Bulgarian and Macedonian (interpretation provided).
