Nicolas Schneider: The political history of diremption (english)
21. May
6:00 pm, Room C40.530
What role does negativity play in the constitution and reproduction of our contemporary predicament? How can the relation between creative destruction and a polycrisis with no way out be conceptualised? This talk explores Gillian Rose’s foray into a ‘political history of diremption’, according to which modern capitalist society emerged through and as a specific form of separation between ethics and law. To comprehend the spiralling dialectic that obtains in diremption, Rose proposes speculation on new beginnings.
Nicolas Schneider is research fellow at the Institute of Culture and Aesthetics of Digital Media.
This event is part of the colloquium on the disruptive condition (and as part of the CCS Colloqium).
