John David Rhodes
The Prop and its Properties

The prop begs questions of scale, ambience, contingency, commodification, objecthood, and narration. In the context of narrative cinema, props seem as necessary as actors, sets, and locations.

Milieus
of Minutiae

Conference, 23 - 24 May 2019

As new technologies gradually rendered the invisible world available to human perception, the tiny and minor, the minute and infinitesimal gained new importance in literature, philosophy, mathematics, natural sciences, and medicine.

An ICI Event organized by Elizabeth Brogden, Christiane Frey, and Ulla Haselstein, in cooperation with the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and the Freie Universität Berlin, generously supported by the Thyssen Foundation

Nanoaesthetics

Lecture, 23 May 2019, 19:00

The neologism ‘nanoaesthetics’ aims to designate an imaginative force of the small that informs culture at large. To this end, it pursues the signature polarity of the prefix nano, which refers in its mathematical meaning to the hard sciences as well as in its literal sense to fictional discursive worlds.

The lecture is part of the conference Milieus of Minutiae.

The lecture is part of the conference Milieus of Minutiae.

auf Deutsch
