Vít Bohal is currently a PhD candidate at the Center for Critical and Cultural Theory at Charles University, Prague. His dissertation focuses on formulating a ‘comparative xenology’ which analyzes the conception of xeno within an infrastructural analysis of otherness. His work focuses mainly on contemporary feminist theory, accelerationism, speculative realism, post-digitality and philosophy of technology. He is a member of the Prague-based Diffractions Collective and has participated in various curatorial and discursive projects both in Prague and abroad. He has edited a number of essay collections and in 2019 was a visiting researcher at the University of Siena’s Department of Education, Humanities and Intercultural Communication.
