Activities

Activities in the research group include internal meetings and all-day seminars, as well as an open two-day seminar entitled "Resistance and Democracy" in Paris 18-19. October 2022. Keynote speakers here were David Rodowick (Chicago) on "Hannah Arendt's Enactments of Freedom", Lia Kurts-Wüste (Bordeaux) on "Poetry and resistance today" and Arild Utaker (Bergen) on "What Resistance? - On the difference between Roland Barthes and Michel Foucault". We also had an excursion to the Paris Resistance Museum, the Musée de la Libération de Paris. Within the framework of "Forms of Resistance", several outward-facing activities are planned. High on the agenda are open seminars and guest lectures with international lecturers (such as Eric Alliez, Ian Buchanan and Byung-Chul Han). In collaboration with the National Library, we have plans to organize workshops in archival studies, as well as a conference including an exhibition where resistance in many forms is illuminated and exposed.
