Meeting Description:

In recent years, new ways of engaging with action and agency have
emerged. In humanities, social sciences and artistic practices, much
intellectual work has focused on the emancipation of historically
marginalized subjects. We witness a provincializing of classical
frameworks and a redefinition of rights around the embodied categories
of sexuality, race, and class. The normativity of individual agency
has expanded and condensed under these conditions. Even the category
of agency itself, classically understood as a form of activity, has
come under scrutiny: Theory and artistic practice have explored the
generative potential of passivity, paralysis, and rest. The
interdisciplinary Graduiertenkolleg “Normativity, Critique, Change”
hosts a conference to investigate agency as the site of a tension
between contestation and confirmation across a range of disciplines in
the arts, law, and humanities. According to a general premise of our
research, action is based on norms on the one hand, and only possible
through a distance from norms on the other. In this understanding,
critique is inherent to normativity. The conference sheds light on the
various sites of tension inherent to agency, normative action and
critique in four panels.

Speakers: Sarah Colvin, Ana Deumert, Bojana Kunst, André Lepecki,
Daniel Loick, Sumi Madhok, Fiona McGovern, Jessica Ullrich, Francesca
Raimondi, Giulia Sissa, Massimiliano Tomba, Tim Wihl

The conference will be preceded by artistic interventions on May 9-10.
Artists: Gulzat Egemberdieva, Choy Ka Fai
