Faut-il oublier Pesaro ?
No full textL’étude de la réception critique française des allocutions de Pasolini à La Mostra del nuovo cinema de Pesaro révèle à quel point les approches théoriques de Pasolini, dont le « Cinéma de poésie », sont difficiles à positionner dans la dispute portant sur l’apport de la sémiologie aux théories du cinéma. Cette confusion éclaire sa récupération académique ultérieure par des chercheurs aux profils forts différents (Ropars-Wuilleumier, Eizykman, Deleuze)
Dante and ‘visibile parlare’
No full textThis essay takes its cue from Barolini's metapoetic reading of the terrace of the proud. It analyses some of the ways in which Dante himself seeks to achieve a ‘visibile parlare’, in a kind of competition with the divine. The point of view is primarily that of reception, of how the pact that the poet creates with his readers is realized. The canto of the proud is thus inserted into that education of the gaze that is an important component of the poem
From Detheologizing to Decolonizing:Toward a Reading of Dante and Alterity
No full textThis essay builds on Barolini’s fundamental insight that new readings of Dante’s Commedia can emerge when we read the text apart from its overdetermined aim. I posit that decolonizing is a form of detheologizing, linking Barolini’s meditation on narrative difference to Dante’s interest in cultural difference and moving outward to consider the Commedia through the lens of the Caribbean poetic adaptations of Derek Walcott and Lorna Goodison

Models, Markets, and Artificial Intelligence:A Brief History of our Speculative Present
Full text linkOver the past four decades, the idea that both digital machines and human agents are networked intelligences and parts of self-organizing systems has not only shaped financial markets, but has also been incorporated into economic thinking and artificial intelligence. This has led to what Halpern calls the ‘financialization of cognition’, an economy of attention that reconfigures human agency and decision-making based on a model of contemporary finance and the digital economy
Global Forest Monitoring:The Ethics of Space Politics
Full text linkThough a powerful tool for both transnational forest product companies and Indigenous activists, global forest monitoring platforms present ethical and political dilemmas. In this presentation, Birgit Schneider and Lynda Olman share their research on Global Forest Watch (GFW), the most popular open-source platform for global forest health monitoring. Some Indigenous activist groups have argued against tools like GFW on the grounds of surveillance and data sovereignty, while others use the tool to prevent poaching and to protect their ancestral territories. A solution to this dilemma can be found in what Schneider and Olman call story-world networks — layered and articulated views of forests at multiple scales and in multiple media, which are capable of empowering the agency of all beings who live with and in them. They will present their analysis of the platform by looking at the history of forest monitoring through maps and interviews with Global Forest Watch end users from Cameroon, Georgia, Indonesia, and Peru, as well as the development team. Based on Olman and Schneider’s collaborative research project on Global Forest Watch, which began at the Rachel Carson Center in Munich in 2017, the talk will highlight both the promising and disturbing potential of these tools to transform climate geopolitics. Lynda Olman (formerly Walsh) is Professor of English at the University of Nevada, Reno. Her primary field is the rhetoric of science, particularly the public reception of visual STEM arguments and of the ethos or public role of the scientist. Her book Scientists as Prophets: A Rhetorical Genealogy (Oxford University Press, 2013) traces a dominant strand in the role of the science adviser back to its roots in Ancient Mediterranean prophecy. Her first book, Sins Against Science: The Scientific Media Hoaxes of Poe, Twain, and Others (State University of New York Press, 2006), examined the pivotal epoch when science first entered American political life. Her current project seeks a structural vocabulary for scientific graphics in order to help non-experts better interpret them. Olman has also published studies in environmental and non-Western rhetoric; these are connected to her main body of work through an unswerving commitment to archival data, inductive methods, and the interpretation of results in terms of local politics. Birgit Schneider is Professor for Knowledge Cultures and Media Environments in the Department of European Media Studies at the University of Potsdam. She studied art and media studies as well as media art and philosophy in Karlsruhe, London, and Berlin. After initially working as a graphic designer, she worked from 2000 to 2007 in the research department ‘The Technical Image’ at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, where she received her PhD. Since 2009, Schneider has researched in the context of fellowships held in the Department of European Media Studies at the University of Potsdam as well as in Munich, Weimar, and Cambridge, UK. Her current research focuses on images and perceptions of nature, ecology, and climate change, diagrams, data graphics and maps as well as images of ecology. She is the founder of the working group ‘Eco Media: Media of Nature’, co-speaker of the Digital Humanities Network at the University of Potsdam, and a member of the research groups ‘Sensing: On the Knowledge of Sensitive Media’ and ‘Weather Reports: Wind as Medium, Model and Experience’. Her publications include: The Technical Image (University of Chicago Press, 2015); Image Politics of Climate Change (transcript Verlag, 2014); Klimabilder. Eine Genealogie globaler Bildpolitiken von Klima und Klimawandel (Matthes & Seitz Berlin, 2018); and Der Anfang einer neuen Welt. Wie wir uns den Klimawandel erzählen, ohne zu verstummen (Matthes & Seitz Berlin, 2023)
La clinique de la dignité:l’attention à la vulnérabilité
Full text linkDans le cadre de cette discussion, la philosophe et psychanalyste Cynthia Fleury, l’autrice et journaliste Lea de Gregorio et la psychologue et psychanalyste Ulrike Kluge échangeront sur le rôle central de la dignité dans nos sociétés. A partir d’expériences et selon des perspectives différentes, toutes trois montrent comment la prise en compte de la vulnérabilité de l’être humain et la défense du caractère inaliénable de sa dignité sont des éléments essentiels d’un projet démocratique fondé sur l’empathie, la justice et la cohésion sociale. Cynthia Fleury, autrice de l’essai La clinique de la dignité, propose dans son ouvrage une réflexion sur les conditions nécessaires pour préserver la dignité humaine, tant au niveau individuel qu’institutionnel. Son analyse ouvre un espace pour penser le soin comme un lieu de réparation du lien social et de refondation éthique. Lea de Gregorio apporte une perspective personnelle et critique sur la stigmatisation et l’approche de la santé mentale. Ulrike Kluge complète la discussion avec son expertise sur l’exil, la migration et les défis des soins psychiques dans les sociétés plurielles. Cynthia Fleury est philosophe et psychanalyste. Professeure titulaire de la chaire Humanités et Santé au Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers de Paris, elle est également titulaire de la Chaire de philosophie à l’hôpital Sainte-Anne du GHU Paris Psychiatrie et neurosciences.

Ausgehend von unterschiedlichen Erfahrungen und Perspektiven zeigen sie, wie die Berücksichtigung der Verletzlichkeit des Menschen und die Verteidigung der Unveräußerlichkeit von Würde wesentliche Elemente eines demokratischen Projekts sind, das auf Einfühlungsvermögen, Gerechtigkeit und sozialem Zusammenhalt beruht. Cynthia Fleury untersucht in ihrem Buch Die Klinik der Würde, wie Institutionen und Praktiken gestaltet werden müssen, um die Würde des Menschen zu bewahren und zu fördern. Sie plädiert für eine radikale Umgestaltung des institutionellen Raumes, die die Würde als Grundpfeiler in den Mittelpunkt rückt. Lea de Gregorio bringt eine persönliche und kritische Perspektive auf die Stigmatisierung und den Umgang mit psychischer Gesundheit ein. Ulrike Kluge ergänzt die Diskussion mit ihrer Expertise zu Flucht, Migration und den Herausforderungen der psychosozialen Versorgung in pluralen Gesellschaften.

From ‘Affective Dissonance’ to ‘Affective Solidarity’:The Struggle to Imagine Otherwise
No full textWhile most people know that part of right-wing populist appeal relies on its mobilization of affect – what Judith Butler describes as ‘fascist passions’ (2024) – they often struggle to delineate or harness affect for alternative, progressive projects. In this talk, Hemmings asks how to generate solidarity and alternative affective investment for current times, drawing on her work on ‘affective dissonance’. She introduced this concept in 2012 as a way of thinking about affect and political attachments beyond identity and social movements. Hemmings wants to return to ‘affective dissonance’ to propose it as a methodology for underpinning ‘affective solidarity’ based in struggle for current politics. And she returns to early queer theorists, Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick and Gloria Anzaldúa to think with them about both dissonance and solidarity. In both cases she takes up their refusal to seek recognition in dominant world-views and animate their radical energies to help imagine new futures. Clare Hemmings is Professor of Feminist Theory at the Department of Gender Studies at the London School of Economics since 1999. She has two main areas of research focus – feminist and queer studies – and is particularly interested in thinking through the relationship between these, as well as the ways in which both fields have been institutionalized at national and international levels. This interest has led her to think about how participants in these fields tell stories about their history as well as current form, and to explore how such stories resonate with (rather than against) more conservative agendas. Throughout her work she has been concerned with the relationship between nationalism, feminism, and sexuality, and with form as well as theory.00:00 Introduction by Margreth Lünenborg06:09 Talk by Clare Hemmings55:32 Discussio
