Reducing
Climate

Symposium, 9-10 Jun 2022, 10:30-20:00

Is the attempt to measure and restore nature to a desirable or optimal state a desire to sublimate, dismiss or silence the aporias that environmental disaster poses to us intellectually, politically and existentially?

The symposium features a workshop entitled Legal Imagination for Gaia that seeks to create or repurpose legal concepts such as species, trans-subjective rights, diffuse interests, ecocide, and intergenerational justice.

Organized by Xenia Chiaramonte and Sarath Jakka

Public Livestream of both keynotes available

Openness in Medieval Europe

Openness in Medieval Europe

ed. by Manuele Gragnolati and Almut Suerbaum, Cultural Inquiry, 23 (Berlin: ICI Berlin Press, 2022)

This volume challenges the persistent association of the Middle Ages with closure and fixity. Bringing together a range of disciplines and perspectives, it identifies and uncovers forms of openness which are often obscured by modern assumptions, and demonstrates how they coexist with, or even depend upon, enclosure and containment in paradoxical and unexpected ways. Explored through notions such as porosity, vulnerability, exposure, unfinishedness, and inclusivity, openness turns out to permeate medieval culture, unsettling boundaries, binaries, and clear-cut distinctions.

Urs Stäheli

Lecture, 13 Jun 2022, 19:30

Contemporary societies are often described in terms of network metaphors and theories informed by an ‘ethos of connectivity’. Many contemporary social theories operate with a normative bias toward networking.

Resisting the Military State

Symposium, 15 Jun 2022, 14:00

The starting point is a novel entitled ‘Gas gegen Gas’ (Gas against Gas) written by the chemist, editor, and translator Dora Sophie Kellner (1890–1960), which was serialized in a number of newspapers between 1928–30.

Organized by Sam Dolbear and Flossie Draper

This event is partly supported by an Initiativstipendium from the Deutscher Übersetzerfonds, who is supporting Sam Dolbear and Flossie Draper to explore the possibility of a publication of Gas gegen Gas in both German and English.

Culture and Consumption in the Great Acceleration
