Fixation

Lecture, 4 Jun 2018, 19:30

The talk will examine how ‘fixation’ is associated with some of the most inventive and enigmatic moments in Freud’s accounts of the body, sexuality, and time. In one of Freud’s earliest clinical publications from the late 1880s, the term ‘fixation’ marks the moment where psychoanalysis veers off from psychiatry. Confronted with the paradoxical phenomenon of a woman whose speech is subjected to the mysterious force of what he calls ‘counter-will’, Freud begins to lay down the basic building blocks out of which he will go on to construct the architecture of psychic organization.

Elissa Marder is Professor of French and Comparative Literature at Emory University where she is formally affiliated with the Departments of Philosophy and Women’s Gender, and Sexuality Studies and the Emory Psychoanalytic Studies Program.

Time(s)

Symposium, 8 Jun 2018, 10:00

What is the time, are the times of philology? Whether grasped narrowly in the sense of textual criticism or more widely as a ‘love of words’, philology, underpinning all critical practices attentive to the materiality of language, demands to be thought in relation to time and temporality.

Drone Errans

Afternoon Talk, 12 Jun 2018, 17:00

This talk is about errant drone aircraft. A drone sunk in 500 fathoms of water off the coast of San Diego in 1937. A fragment of a D-21 drone launched over China in 1969 returned to an American CIA agent as a present from the KGB in the 1980s. A crashed Israeli drone reported by an Egyptian news agency after the Arab-Israeli War of 1973. An American spy drone crashed in El Salvador in 1985.

Claire Obscur

Finissage, 12 Jun 2018, 18:00

The title of the exhibition, Clair obscur, evokes a subtle diffusion of the uncanny. The term denotes a style of painting much favoured in the Baroque period. It is known as chiaroscuro in English. Figures are picked out in light in a domain of darkness. The contrasts are strong and engender both spatial depth and striking atmospheres. Scenes are rich in drama, affects are heightened.

Aesthetic Temporalities
Today

Conference, 13 - 15 Jun 2018

Just now? As part of the research programme ‘Aesthetic Temporalities: Time and Representation in Polychronic Modernity’, the annual conference of the DFG Priority Programme ‘Aesthetic Temporalities Today: Present, Presentness, Presentation’ seeks to raise the question of ‘the present’. The conference will focus on the ‘contemporary’ of art, global spaces of the present, and on aesthetic problems of presentness and presentation.

Lecture, 18 Jun 2018, 19:30

Serial killing is an extremely rare form of homicide that is nonetheless culturally ubiquitous. Much of what makes it so resonant is the very naming of it ‘serial’. The seriality of serial killing – the temporal form of narratives of multiple murder – touches on perceptions about the organization of time in modern culture and the fears and also pleasures it affords. This presentation will focus on serial killer films and reference a number of titles including And Soon the Darkness (UK 1970), Las horas del día (Spain 2003), Seven (USA 1995) and Sombre (France 1998).

Interior Frontiers: Dangerous
Concepts in our Times

Lecture, 21 June 2018, 18:00

In 2018, the Berlin Graduate School Muslim Cultures and Societies celebrates its 10th anniversary since the admission of the first year of doctoral researchers in 2008. To mark this milestone, we cordially invite you to celebrate with us.

Ann Stoler’s talk considers the concept of "interior frontiers" (originally used by the German philosopher Johann Gottlieb Fichte in 1803) with respect to its quixotic and unruly political qualities.

Organized by the Berlin Graduate School Muslime Cultures and Societies in cooperation with Affective Societies and the ICI Berlin
