Philological
Time(s)

Symposium, 8 Jun 2018, 11:00

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.

Foregrounding the ‘philia’ in philology, we might ask to what extent philology carries the potential to help us evade logocentric conceptions of error and correction as well as the teleological models of time they carry with them.

With Elizabeth Bonapfel, Christiane Frey, Marcel Lepper, David Martyn, Barbara Nagel, Daniel Reeve, Zachary Sng, and Tom Vandeputte

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 brToday

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.

Aesthetic Temporalities: Time and Representation in Polychronic Modernity in cooperation with ICI Berlin, funded by DFG

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

Co-constituting
the Global

Symposium, 22 June 2018, 15:30

This panel addresses the lived entanglements of the global that are not adequately theorized by notions of the global and the local, which bifurcate experiences that are necessarily co-constituting.

Keynote by Lydia Liu (Columbia University)

Organized by Annette Bhagwati, Alexandra Chang, Birgit Hopfener, and Ming Tiampo

This event is a cooperation between the ICI Berlin, the Centre for Transcultural Analysis at Carleton University (CTCA), the House of World Cultures (HKW Berlin), and the NYU GAX
