Golding is a Professor of Philosophy in the Visual Arts
& Communication Technologies at the
University of Greenwich.
In 1998 she was awarded a major research position as
Head of Theory at the
Jan Van Eyck Akademie, an
international post-doctoral experimental Research and
Production Center in Fine Art, Design and Theory
(Maastricht, The Netherlands). Her research grapples with
contemporary political philosophy as a poetic -- re-casting
this 'poetic' along the radical paradigmatic shifts brought
about by the digital age. Emphases is placed on the
visual-acustic culture, experimentation, and the
seriousness of play. In short, her writings, videos, and
sound productions are committed to the political and
philosophical project of re-thinking democracy without
'forgetting' questions of the body, genders, racisms,
sexualities and pleasures. Currently she spends her time
between London, Maastricht and Washington. Her latest book,
dirty
theory (Routledge: London forthcoming) has been
described as a 'post-postmodern prince, for those not in
the know'.
