Zuordnung im Vorlesungsverzeichnis
Letzte Änderung: Fr 09.09.2022 12:28
The seminar examines the relevance of the arts in Slavoj Zizek’s thought. The course consists of one preliminary meeting and seven seminar sessions. While the first seminar session examines his writings on Franz Kafka, the second seminar closely analyzes his longer text on Henry James, as well as several pieces on Samuel Beckett. The third seminar and the fourth seminar will address the “case of Wagner” in Zizek’s writings. Not unlike Friedrich Nietzsche, the development of and shifts in Zizek’s thought can be traced via his multiple engagements with Wagnerian art. The fifth seminar session turns to the question of modernist painting, as well as of abject art. The sixth seminar session turns to artistic scenes of subjective destitution. The last session addresses Zizek’s small book on the cinema of David Lynch.
The seminar will consist of presentations and class discussion. All texts (and artworks) to be discussed will be made available on Moodle. Participants are expected to come fully prepared, to have closely read the respective texts, and to engage in class discussion.
Office hours (by individual appointment) will be held either in person (if possible) or via video tools.
