Epistemology in liquid realities: knowing in times of uncertainty

Virtual Event

may 14 - 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM CMT

This seminar analyzes the construction of knowledge in the social sciences and humanities from the perspective of Zygmunt Bauman's "liquid modernity." It examines how, in contemporary times, truths have become fragile and traditional frameworks have dissolved, giving way to a knowledge that prioritizes immediate utility over lasting solidity. Through this approach, the program aims to explore the scope and challenges facing research and intellectual creation in an environment dominated by social media and artificial intelligence. The central objective is to understand how the production of meaning is reconfigured when knowledge must adapt to the speed and transience of the contemporary world. Presented by Nelly Prigorian
