Workshop "Unfeeling Repertoires: Defense, Repression, Grief"
In this second workshop of our project D09 “Dynamics of Unfeeling”, we will continue to work on a philosophical vocabulary of unfeeling, responding to an ever more crisis ridden reality and its historical precursors. The many dimensions of unfeeling include phenomena such as denial, repression and dissociation, coldness and apathy as well as outright aggression and other defense mechanisms. The workshop invites approaches to this affective-political complex from various disciplinary perspectives. Please register with Jasmine Wanjiru Onstad (j.onstad@fu-berlin.de)
