Transdisciplinary series of events on philosophy, art and performance from October AFTER REASON

Productive Undoing is a Difficult Task (Gayatri Spivak)

The Enlightenment movement, a philosophical debate of 18th century Europe, promised universal freedom, equality and emancipation through reason. Today we know that it also justified slavery, genocide and other crimes against humanity. From October 17th-19th different artists and philosophers will come together at Beursschouwburg for a weekend of discussions, performances and workshops to address the fundamental paradox of universalism and colonialism of the 18th and 19th centuries.

Topics

What moves us

The language column
Word!

How does one find one's way around the rules of the German language, where do new words come from, and what are the most important changes in the use of the language - for example through digitalisation and sensitisation with regard to the gender issue? These and other exciting topics are the subject of our column on the German language.

Comics

Comics from Belgium determined the face of European pictorial history in the 20th century. Today, German comic artists are also searching for new narrative forms.
