Murdoch University
A talk by BOB HODGE
The talk will develop some concepts from chaos theory to explore issues of multiculturalism and a chaotic globalising world
BOB HODGE is a ghost of Old Murdoch who still manifests in unexpected locations: currently as visiting fellow at Curtin University, and at other times as Professor of Humanities at the University of Western Sydney. His core intellectual project is to rethink social semiotics and cultural theory from the perspective of chaos theory and fuzzy logic (theme of his latest book, SOCIAL FUZZIOLOGY, 2002, Springer Verlag, Heidelberg and new York, with V Dimitrov) and apply it to globalization and cyberculture, mainly in the Americas (Latin America and the American bloc) and to Australian multiculture. For many he is one of the foundational figures of Murdoch cultural studies.
