Liebe Freund:innen von Khora,
wir dürfen Euch diesen Donnerstag herzlich zu unserem ersten Cinesophie-Termin einladen. Julian hat eine diverse Auswahl an Filmen vorbereitet, die er kurz vorstellen wird und aus denen wir gemeinschaftlich einen auswählen können. Die Auswahl soll einen Anstoß liefern, mittelfristig sollen Form und Inhalt von Cinesophie aus Khora selbst, das heißt gemeinsam mit Euch, ins Werden gebracht werden.
Kino und gesellschaftliche Wirklichkeit(en):
Vittorio De Sica – Fahrraddiebe (1948)
Philosoph:innen im Film:
Fabrizio Terranova – Donna Haraway: Story Telling for Earthly Survival (2016)
Feministisches Kino:
Helke Sander – Die allseitig reduzierte Persönlichkeit – Redupers (1978)
Moral und Institution:
Abbas Kiarostami – Wo ist das Haus meines Freundes? (1988)
Hollywood-Klassiker:
Charlie Chaplin – Modern Times (1936)
Ich freue mich auf einen spannenden Versuch mit Euch über einen textbasierten akademischen Alltag hinaus zu philosophieren.
Herzlich,
Adrian

> The successful candidate(s) will enroll in the University of Vienna doctoral programme in philosophy and join the VDP. They can pursue a doctoral research project in any area of philosopy, using any philosophical method. They will, as part of the project PACE, be expected to conduct their research with special attention to their own method, and also to participate in discussions on philosophical method.

(Net salaries can be calculated on this page: onlinerechner.haude.at/BMF-Brutto-Netto-Rechner/.) Funding is available for conference trips and stays abroad.
