The acute crises of planetary life do not only manifest themselves in
life-threatening effects on physical integrity. They change the way we
experience our environment, how we construct our interactions with it from
perceptions, sensations, desires, and words.
While the physical effects are already difficult to grasp in their scope,
the transformations in the ways of interacting with the world from our
entanglement in it quickly elude any ordering grasp, which is often based
on a human self-image as a controlling power.
Things look somewhat different when we look at the arts: Here we find
seismographic capacities that register and make accessible even seemingly
insignificant changes and their effects.
The planned platform addresses the challenge of providing a broad insight
into current realizations of these capacities. Three nodes serve as a guide
for this insight, which aims to place less emphasis on controlling order
and more on the richest possible picture of the intricate web of experience:
(1) The evidently undeniable nature of climate change brings to light
global interdependencies that are a matter of life and death. This creates
an obligation to recognize how interconnected we are and how we are called
upon to reorganize the world we live in, precisely because it is becoming
increasingly incomprehensible and inaccessible without its ongoing
destruction.
(2) The inevitable return of suppressed nature takes forms that manifest
themselves in a complex interplay between external circumstances and inner
fantasies, dreams and desires, which stubbornly resists controlling access,
but at the same time finds expression, for example, in cultural products.
(3) In contemporary literature, we observe a shift toward aesthetic
descriptions of extreme climatic conditions that shape narratives in new
ways. Instead of traditional narratives driven by subjects, we are
witnessing a literature that foregrounds sensuality. This openness to
sensory perceptions could be the key to challenging dominant narratives and
fostering an interrelational understanding of our experiences.
(Post-)doctoral researchers who submit proposals of up to 500 words and a
short bio of up to 200 words in a single PDF by May 15, 2025, will have the
opportunity to present their projects for discussion in half-hour
presentations. Please send submissions by email to all three organizers:
aloisiamoser(a)gmail.com, j.popp(a)akbild.ac.at, joerg.sternagel(a)uni-passau.de
Feedback and publication of the program will take place by June 1, 2025 .
