Main content
This first gathering will explore the key concepts in After Precarity, Polarization, and Populism: Figurations for the 21st Century cover, in isolation and/or in dialogue with the temporal qualifier after and/or the modality signaled by figurations. All along we should try to keep in mind the dialogue with the humanities and its imaginaries. Tentatively we furthermore suggest that these early explorations be related to one or more of the following overarching areas:
- Theoretical-philosophical
- Empirical analyses (visual, textual, other)
- Pedagogy (and cultural philology)
We invite short addresses (5-7 minutes) on the relevance and potential we see the concepts having from our perspective of our various areas of inquiry and empirical backgrounds. While one concept is likely to be more compelling than others, we should try to consider it in relation to aspect(s) of the project description above.
