UNITY AND MULTIPLICITY
IN CONTEMPORARY CULTURE

Friday, November 23rd 2018
14.00

Institute of Philosophy boardroom, 1st floor

MICHAEL HAUSER, JOE GRIM FEINBERG A JAKUB ORT

will talk about a theory of culture after postmodernism (metamodernism),

and the concept of interregnum as an expression of contemporary cultural and political situation characterized by contrary processes of multiplication, fragmentation, and unification.

In this context, they will discuss authors whose thinking addresses questions of multiplicity and unity as cultural patterns of interregnum: Ranciére's and Laclau's theory of "people", Badiou's concept of the event, and Milbank's radical orthodoxy.

The workshop aims at opening a debate about concepts and interpretations that can describe the contemporary cultural and political situation (Lyotard's concept of situation), and are related to theories develop within the GAČR project "Unity and Multiplicity in Contemporary Thought."

Prof. Václav Bělohradský and other theoreticians of contemporary culture and politics will participate in the discussion. Workshop materials are available by email: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
