We are also told that anger needs an outlet; if anger is not vented, it builds up and will explode \u2013 dangerously and unpredictably. \u00a0Franz Fanon writes of what he calls \u201cCollective Catharsis\u201d declaring: \u201cI<i>n every society, in every collectivity, exists \u2013 must exist \u2013 a channel, an outlet through which the forces accumulated in the form of aggression can be released.<\/i>\u201d This talk takes up the \u201cmedia of purgation\u201d as techniques of losing control to gain control. The media of purgation allow us to interrogate relationships between anger, destruction, and catharsis and their roles in public life, especially in the ways that rage is understood as simultaneously dangerous and politically transformative.<\/p>\n<h3>About the Lecturer<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Dylan Mulvin<\/strong> is an Associate Professor at the London School of Economics in the Department of Media and Communications.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-23250 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/sjc\/wp-content\/uploads\/dylan-mulvin-e1755191104293-400x600.jpg\" alt=\"A portrait of Dylan Mulvin, a white man with short brown hair, a short brown beard, and glasses.

Drawing on methods from media studies, Science and Technology Studies, gender studies, and disability studies, he investigates the intersecting history of culture and technology, and the ways media artefacts encode and crystallise assumptions about human perception, emotion, and behaviour. In other words, Mulvin studies the ways people make the stuff that we take for granted and what happens when it all falls apart.
