Rotten digital body narratives from a cinema genre to a model of big data analysis in social media platforms

From the queer tradition of LaBruce zombie porn, to the gore and slices of body parts in the cemetery of profiles populating hook-ups (not only) gay platforms, from queer porn to content-generated-body-cuts, ROGITAL: Rotten Digital Body Narratives emerge. A strange garden of de-symbolised signs blossoms with fear and excitation, meat and organs, sex and death, narrative and critical analysis, images as cinema or hook-up profiles. Those organs start speaking about a de-organised body of sexuality calling into crisis notions of sexual citizenship and netizenship. In this frame Shaka McGlotten will discuss the tradition and contemporary experimentations of zombie porn; the musician and performer Can “Khan” Oral will performatively enter the fluctuating organs with multiple bodies of Web 2.0 through a presentation of his book Angels in disguise (The Abstract Aesthetics of Digital Flaneurism). Francesco Warbear Macarone Palmieri, co-chair of the Will You Be My Trashure? conference stream will moderate the debate.
