The workshop artTheory&theoryArt looks at

1. Theorien und philosophischen Reflexionen über Kunst,
2. Theorien, die von den Künsten ausgehen, sowie
3. Theorie als Kunst, und
4. die Art und Weise, wie die Künste als das Andere des (vermeintlichen) Wissens und
5. die Künste des Anderen als das Andere des Selbst in verschiedenen (disziplinären, lokalen und globalen) Kontexten verwendet (und missbraucht) werden.

It thereby discusses and reflects the aporetic instances and paradoxes that any ‘statement’, (en-act(ment), citation, and naming occupies, and tries to find out how these, nevertheless, could be read in productive, reparative and healing rather than extinctive ways, by considering power relations within historical, political, discursive and affective contextualities, and the idea of letting oneself be surprised as a methodological encounter in reading.

While the workshop is open to all disciplines and all disciplines are welcome, it, especially addresses scholars - at any carrier stage - in Comparative literature, Literary Studies, Philosophy, Performance Studies, Music, Dramatic Arts, Performing Arts, InterArt Studies, as well as Area Studies, and of course artists from all the im/possible spectrum.)
