The recently founded MA Studies in „Choreography
and Performance“
and the Graduate Centre for the Study of Culture at
Justus-Liebig-University Giessen will be holding two cooperating
conferences with similar subjects but different foci. The international
symposium „ „Communications:
Dance,
Politics and Co-Immunity“
“, organized by the MA program in
„Choreography and Performance“,
asks to what extent dance, in its history as well as its contemporary
development, is linked to concepts of the political. The conference
„„thinking
- resisting - reading the political““,
organized by the Graduate Centre for the Study of Culture, asks what
specific perspectives and methodological consequences arise for the
study of culture that are informed by recent deliberations on the
relationship of the political and the aesthetic.
The symposium „Communications: Dance, Politics and
Co-Immunity“ is taking place with kind support by the
Deutsche Forschungsgesellschaft DFG, Tanzplan Deutschland and the
Hessian Theatre Academy.
The conference „thinking - resisting - reading the
political“ is taking place with kind support of the
International Graduate Centre for the Study of Culture (GCSC), the
Center for Media and Interactivity of the JLU and the
Justus-Liebig-University Giessen.
The Festival "Dance & Politics" is taking place with
kind support of the
Kulturamt Gießen, the Institute for Applied Theatre Studies
and the Hessian Theatre Academy.
