Die Vereinnahmung der Kunst anderer Kulturen bestimmte lange die Praxis des Kunstschaffens oder der Kunstbetrachtung. Gastfreundschaft als ein positiv besetztes Gegenmodell zu begreifen und AutorInnen nachzuspüren, die das Andere in umfassenderer Weise konzeptualisieren und zum gemeinsamen Diskurs (und am Schluss zum Essen?!) einladen, ist Anliegen des Seminars. Ein breit-gefächerter Ansatz bei der Wahl der gemeinsam zu lesenden Text-Beispiele geht von… 2026S, scientific seminar, 4.0 ECTS

Thereby, we will close-read theories that oppose repetitive paradigms and that produce - sometime fraglie - connection… 2026S, scientific seminar, 4.0 ECTS

This seminar explores autotheory as a (trans)feminist practice that operates not through self-representation but through the undoing of the self.

Was ist „queer“ an Kunst und Kunstgeschichte? Welche Methoden kennzeichnen queere Kunsttheorie, welche Gegenstände lassen sich als queer bestimmen? Lässt sich Queerness auf Fragen von Sexualität und Geschlecht begrenzen – auf den menschliche Körper? Und wenn, wie José Esteban Muñoz in Cruising Utopia betont, Queerness sich der Gegenwart entzieht und eher als Horizont zukünftiger Möglichkeiten zu denken ist, welchen Sinn… 2025W, scientific seminar, 4.0 ECTS

“Fascism” is a term that describes a process that precedes fascism, is intertwined with it, but does not necessarily mean that the result of this process is indeed always fascism. It is therefore not identical to the description and analysis of historical fascisms, such as German or Italian fascism, but must take their analyses, as well as their colonial precursors… 2026S, Lecture, 2.0 ECTS

Vor allem in den 60iger und 70igerJahren wurde der Alltag im Privatleben zum Thema in der Kunst. Naheliegenderweise beschäftigten sich häufig Künstlerinnen damit.

In this block seminar, we will explore the role of desire in forging anti-fascist futures. Our starting point is the recognition that desire is not inherently subversive—it becomes political through how it is bound: either to collective liberation or to annihilation. The advancing fascist intensification increases the supply of fantasmatic objects that channel desire in fascist directions. Drawing on impulses… 2025W, scientific seminar, 2.0 ECTS

In the course Insularities, Immunities, Communities, we investigate the conception of community – and practice thereof, in the Western and Global North tradition – that is in imperialist racist capitalism.
