Aesthetic Temporalities
Today

On and On and On

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).

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.

Co-constituting
the Global

Symposium, 22 Jun 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.

What happens to the ‘death of the author’ when we do not read it as a manifest for a new critique, but as a commentary on contemporary art?

Barthes, Queer Before Queer?

Lecture, 25 Jun 2018, 19:30

Barthes’s homosexuality is a well-known fact, and recent biographies have shed light on this major part of his social life. How should the inaugural text of Mythologies (‘The World of Wrestling’) be re-read in light of the fact that he was going to wrestling matches with Michel Foucault in order to hook up? What can we learn from it, say, about masculinity, and signs of gay visual culture and desire in general?
