PERFORMING EMBODIED DIAGRAMMATICS

Beschreibung

‘Performativity’ is a key term that is relevant to many researchers in their specific fields. The interdisciplinary challenge of the symposium lie in the communication and negotiations of the specific notions and concepts of ‘performativity’ already shaped and which are intended to develop further. What do we mean when we use the term ‘performativity’? How does ‘performativity’ enhance our understanding of the arts? How do artists in all fields work with concepts of ‘performativity’ in order to point at questions of gender, materialization, process, reception, and space? How do performative arts and performative acts become political through ‘performativity’? On 2 October 2017 two artists, Linnéa Sjöberg and Nikolaus Gansterer, and two academic scholars, Katja Kwastek (Free University of Amsterdam) and Mårten Snickare (Stockholm University) will present and discuss their views on and uses of ‘performativity’. The short lectures are followed by a panel discussion which are all open to a general public. On 3 October 2017 an interdisciplinary workshop is open to interested scholars and invited guests. The symposium will take place at the auditory at IKE – Department of Culture and Aesthetics, Stockholm University, Sweden.
