In a virtual conversation with Karen Barad, Rosi Braidotti, Donna Haraway and others, Fee and Christine have reworked excerpts of Charlie Chaplin’s “Speech to Humanity” from his film The Great Dictator (1940). Chaplin’s speech is a manifesto for a better world, against war and against Adolf Hitler’s policy of genocide. The original text was transferred into a critical, post-anthropocentric vocabulary that indicts the “capitalocene” of the ecocide and fabulates about a posthuman future era.
