This is a busy week for the Communication Studies Department! Monday was our Career Night (very successful!), and we have two more events coming up this week.First up, a lecture from Italian political philosopher Franco “Bifo” Berardi tomorrow evening, November 7th, 6:00-8:00 in McLaren 251. His lecture is entitled “The Rise of the Cognitariat: Cognitive Labor in Search of a Body.”
I asked our own Professor Jacquemet about why this event may be of interest to our majors: “The interest for our Communication Studies majors is in his analysis of the communicative economy and its cognitive workers (people writing codes, copy, adverts) which is an area that many of our majors will end up working in.”
Take a look at the flyer below for some additional information about Professor Berardi’s lecture:
We hope to see many of you at this event!
