Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

If you are interested to enhance your academic research practice in philosophy in a close cross-disciplinary cooperation with art-students, this practice-based research training “Crossing Arts & Philosophy: Come On!” will provide you the opportunity to develop new transdisciplinary skills and methods for your philosophical research practice.
In a first step the focus of this research retreat lies in a project-oriented cross-over of artistic & philosophical research practices: Master-students of philosophy will present their thesis not only to other students of philosophy, but also to art-students. The art-students will respond both, discursively, but also by virtue of their own artistic expertise and artistic practices to the presentations of the philosophy students.
The discussions will be accomplished by a close reading of key-texts which debate discursive & bodily practices of doing philosophy (cf. https://www.performancephilosophy.org/).
In a second step we will try to focus our training on different ways to bodily demonstrate your texts and thoughts. The question that now pops up is how to stage them? Which forms are adequate to express your ideas bodily, sensually, materially, aesthetically in a concrete situation? The development of this second step will take place in a close co-operation with the 8 artists, who participate in this research seminar.
In a third step we will develop a kind of cross-disciplinary field-performance, in which the entire research group will collectively stage the outcome of each single contribution in a collective performance staged in the performance-centre KHORA.
Susanne Valerie Granzer (actress) and Arno Böhler (philosopher) will guide you through this research-seminar.
The entire seminar will take place on three weekends on the countryside in Lower Austria (3662 Münichreith, Kehrbach 2). You can easily reach the place within one hour by train (Vienna-Melk), where Granzer / Böhler will pick up all participants.

Assessment and permitted materials

3) Participating in the planed field-performance, in which you research contribution will be part of a collective research-performance together with all other contributions shaping our research-field (research-performance KHORA). (Third block)
