English / Hölderlin-Gastvorträge

Vortrag vom 21. Januar 2025 The question of Artaud’s politics has often been obscured by an unfair concentration on Antonin Artaud as a case study in madness. Up until recently, some of the most ex- plicitly political and philosophical writings of the French poet were hidden in an untranslated retranscription of his book Revolutionary Messages, written in Mexico in 1936. Published for the first time in September 2024, it not only allows us to reassess […]

Vortrag vom 10. Dezember 2024 When the sublime became a category of art (in post-Kantian aesthetic theories), the problem of representation came to be reassessed and the category of the beautiful expanded. Modern theories of the sublime (e.g. Adorno and Lyotard) emphasise the process of de-subjectification in aesthetic experience and criticize of the rational control of nature. In this lecture, I question to what extent contemporary theatre may enable a thinking that approaches the philosophical-aesthetic […]

Vortrag vom 11. Juni 2024 Starting from Marianne Van Kerkhoven’s ideas about micro and macro dramaturgy, the lecture explores the notion of curating beyond staging performances and shaping a repertoire and examines how festivals are creating “cultural gathering spaces” (J. Applebaum) and “spaces for dialogue” (H. Perry) outside the walls of their building, venturing into site-responsive, process-focussed, and interdisciplinary practices. For illustrating this move from product to process, from consumption of art to civil participation […]

Donnerstag, 18-20 Uhr, Hörsaalzentrum, HZ 10. Beginn: 24. April 2025 Konflikte aushalten! – Die Unfähigkeit, Widersprüche auszuhalten, so Else Frenkel-Brunswik und Theodor Adorno in ihrer Studie über den autoritären Charakter, sei als Schlüssel zur autoritären Persönlichkeit wie zu antisemitischen Ressentiments zu sehen. Check your privileges! Diese Forderung zielt auf die Problematik der Repräsentation und der Positionalität in den gegenwärtigen gesellschaftlichen Konfliktzonen. In diesem Zusammenhang erwarten diejenigen, die  in Theorie, in den Künsten oder im Aktivismus […]

Vortrag vom 14.05.24 The talk will expand on the emergence of “the essay” as a form, concept, and method within the field of performing arts during the mid-2010s. Drawing inspiration from the rich tradition of the literary essay and informed by the contemporary proliferation of the essay form across cinematic (essay film), photographic (photographic essay), installation-based (essay-installation), and exhibition-related (essay-exhibition) domains, Delbecke dissects the reasons behind and manifestations of this form within the field of performing arts […]

Vortrag vom 06.02.24 Arkadi Zaidesʼ Choreographie Archive (2014) fokussiert das Camera Project des israelischen Informationszentrums für Menschenrechte in den besetzten Gebieten B‘Tselem, das Videokameras an Palästinenser:innen verteilt, um eine kontinuierliche Dokumentation von Menschenrechtsverletzungen zu ermöglichen. Das gewählte Filmmaterial zeigt ausschließlich israelische Soldaten, Siedler, Aktivisten in verschiedenen konfrontativen Situationen. Die filmenden palästinensischen Menschen bleiben abwesend, hinter der Kamera, anwesend sind allerdings ihre Bewegungen, Stimmen, Standpunkte. Es geht um den paradoxen Absenz/Präsenz-Modus der Archiv-Praxis und – wie der Vortrag auch mit […]
