Call for Papers | Rhizome Rosi: International Conference on the Thought of Rosi Braidotti
The conference will be held in Paris January 15th and 16th 2026
This conference aims to bring together researchers, artists, and practitioners who wish to engage in dialogue with Rosi Braidotti’s project.
Rosi Braidotti's thinking occupies a central place in contemporary debates around feminism, posthumanism, nomadic subjectivities, and the critique of knowledge production practices.
The notion of the "rhizome" captures all different dimensions of Braidotti's thinking. The rhizome allows us to think simultaneously about a cluster of inter-related ideas: a multiple vision of the subject, constituted by divergences and hybridizations; an anti-hierarchical politics, critical of vertical and arborescent - unitary - power structures; and a method of transversal reflection, that cuts across diverse disciplinary fields, and thus is capable of enriching different areas of knowledge.
Deadline for the Papers: September 30, 2025
Responses will be communicated by: October 20, 2025
Accepted languages: French/English/Italian.
The conference is structured around three thematic axes. Your presentation may fall under one or more of these areas:
1. Nomadism and becoming.
2. Posthumanism, ethics, and politics.
3. Representation, resistance, and speculative imagination.
