Symposium trans*poetics

Symposium "trans*poetics": On Transgression, Narration, and Becoming

Thu 16. to Fri 17.10.

The "trans*poetics" symposium brings together authors and artists whose radical thinking and writing strive for collective forms of expression and political agency and as such are always an open invitation and obligation at once—an invitation to renew and transform allegedly established identifications and the imperative of solidarity. In this endeavor, an intentional mixture of theoretical reflection and artistic practice takes on a central role. The interplay between theory and art opens up new perspectives and thought processes that transgress disciplinary boundaries while enabling new forms of knowledge production and expression. The theoretical and the poetic—targeted forces that can forge alliances: the symposium "trans*poetics" aims to discuss and implement these processes in a vibrant range of lectures, performances, and talks.
