free speculative realism class in New Orleans

See as follows:

“Intro to Speculative Realism & Object Oriented Ontology
Monday, March 12. Iron Rail Book Collective. 6PM-8PM. FREE. New Orleans Free School

New Orleans Free School! We will be exploring the writings of Quentin Meixassoux, Graham Harman, Ray Brassier, and Ian Hamilton Grant, examining the ins and outs of the emergent Speculative Realist “movement” and considering the philosophical consquences of an Object Oriented Ontology. Class will be held twice weekly. Course material will include audio elements, and texts will be selected democratically, as we are on a collective mission of understanding. Do your homework. All are welcome. Please see: speculativerealismneworleans.blogspot.com for updates. Contact in advance is preferred. Contact: Kalan (kalan.sherrard@gmail.com) or Estefania (epuerta1@gmail.com).”

Incidentally, I think I forgot to mention that when I saw Meillassoux in Paris in January, he was more enthusiastic about the “speculative realism” label than I’ve ever seen him before. Not sure where Iain Grant is on this, but he’s so affirmative, good-natured, and simply benevolent at heart that I strongly doubt he’s renounced the term.

In any case, speculative realism is doing extremely well, and there’s a reason for that.
