13-17 September 2019
Deadline for
applications submission: July 12, 2019
Professors, researchers and
artists from the Forum Internationale
Wissenschaft of the University of Bonn, with Prof.Julia Stenzel as a leader,
guide the three thematic units:
-
The Body of the Polis. Dealing with practices
and figurations of embodiment, bodily practices and the political, the thematic
unit aims at discussing and exploring how historical and contemporary bodily
practices have been, are and may be functionalized politically. Beyond
strategies of bodily involvement, we will take a closer look at the obduracy of
the body and its interferences with other bodies and things.
- Spaces and Spheres of
Democracy. Starting
with the notion of Ikesia, this
thematic section examines the interactions of time and space in the ancient
concepts of asylum and refuge, taking into account recent discussions on
migration and shelter, their borders and their violation.
- Evolution and Progress: Utopias of Community and Society. The
idea of "space" is being explored. Space is conceptualized as an
architectural and urban element, as a socio-intellectual construction, as a
prerequisite for the existence of culture and, of course, as a political space
that allows free exchange of views and the creation of political movements.
