Body Concepts

Lecture Series 2024

How to think (with) bodies? How to grasp the embodied knowledge that informs and at the same time undermines our theorising? In eight encounters between transdisciplinary thinkers and artists, the international lecture series Body Concepts asks which bodies - and which realities of life - we pay attention to in our thinking, and which are confronted with systemic exclusions or framings.
