《後超級未來亞洲書寫工作坊》是一個跨國行動與合作,旨在和不同的文化藝術實踐者一起共同書寫建構一個亞洲的未來地誌,從生活和言說的形式到各種集合、自我組織、其他團體實踐的模式裡去反思基進的政治想像和實踐、經濟正義實踐的可能。計畫將預計從女性主義、酷兒理論、後殖民論述與原住民文化等邊緣論述範疇中去探索社會與文化建構的連結與疆界。

這個地誌所含括的領地正好名為「亞洲」,一個後超級未來版本的樣貌。其工作坊的前提設定是將領地作為超越地方的一種地理,由各地居民行為脈絡相關的地方與時間性相繫的各種分置歷史、意識形態、現象等所重新集合而成的一種地理概念,而這些亞洲各區所分置的思想島嶼如何被觀看成為一種從地理政治座標解放開的新群島鏈結,將是這個聚會所將要探索之處,在超越現有位置版圖和全球政治權力操控下的一種未來亞洲將如何出發?我們預計透過再思人類家族(Family of Man),去想像個體間真正的相屬關係,如情人、家人、族人、團體成員、和其他各樣社群社會關係之形式。

這個計畫將包含:柏林、新加坡、台北三個駐點,透過不同的集合與書寫,這個計畫將像一名時間旅人般地遷移在時間的向度裡,思考人類未來社會的樣貌、對話與八卦,在我們的各種親密關係的系譜中、社會地理的形塑過程裡、感覺器官裡所發生的各種資訊流動和交換中,藉由多頻道生產的集體書寫經驗去探索共學和表達的可能,同時針對未來疆界預先進行去殖民的工程。

You are invited to build a future territory of Asia in the present by mapping radical political imagination, practices and economic justice, from forms of living and speaking to modes of aggregation, self-organization and other collective practices with us in a three-day workshop in Berlin this June. This traveling program draw perspectives from feminism and queer expressions, as well as postcolonial and indigenous culture to look at bonds and boundaries of social and cultural construction.

This territory happened to be called Asia, or whatever a post-super-future version of it would be. Our working hypothesis is territory understood as geography is more than the bounds and expanse of place, but also an aggregation of discrete histories, ideologies and phenomenon associated with place and time that contextualized by inhabitants’ behaviors. In our vision, these islands of thought become an archipelago, yet in this future vision it is freed from the constraints of its geopolitical coordinates, no longer defined by any particular location or national borders, nor it is limited to any one part of the world. In another turn of phrase, this is to rethink the Family of Man, to reimagine the kinship of individuals as lovers, families, tribes, collectives and other forms of social relations.

A program travels from one city to another as time travelers, leaving one temporality and arriving in another, reimagining not only the future of human society but also of conversation and gossip, of the information exchange that occurs in those social dynamics, of the genealogies of our intimacies, of the shaping of our social geographies and sensuous terrains. We will be exploring modes of learning and expressing via the act of writing in a collective experience with multiple channels of production, as well as means of connections to decolonize borders of the future.
