Events
In the summer term 2023, the Research Training Group will focus on post- and decolonial positions. In preparation for a three-week study trip to Brazil for the São Paulo Biennial, we will read classical and contemporary texts on post- and decolonial theory. We are very fortunate to have the support of some top-notch scholars in this field, who will visit the research training group’s Basiskolleg: We will discuss with philosopher Susan Buck-Morss about her book Hegel, Haiti, and Universal History (University of Pittsburgh Press, 2009). With historian Todd Sheppard we will explore how to analyze and describe the entanglements between (formerly) colonized and colonizing countries.
We have also been able to engage these two scholars for public workshops. Todd Sheppard will participate in the Radical Desires and Decolonial Critique workshop in June. In cooperation with the Center for Critical Studies, we have invited Susan Buck-Morss to give an evening lecture in July. In addition to these two events, we look forward to a workshop with art historian Amelia Jones and an online lecture by political theorist Rodrigo Nunes, who will share his analysis of recent political developments in Brazil.

Is Bolsonarismo over? Making sense of the far right in Brazil and Globally
Rodrigo Nunes
4:15 - 5:45 pm
After four years under far-right president Jair Bolsonaro, Brazil has voted to bring former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva back into power. A tighter race than most expected and a series of increasingly daring protests afterwards suggest, however, that this electoral setback is not yet the end for the social and political force that Bolsonaro’s 2018 campaign catalysed. Situating Bolsonarismo in the broader context of a resurgent far right, this talk will examine the conditions that made it possible in order to ask what its permanent defeat would entail – and what that means for the incoming Workers’ Party (PT) government.
Rodrigo Nunes is a senior lecturer in political theory and organisation at the University of Essex. He is the author of Neither Vertical Nor Horizontal: A Theory of Political Organisation (Verso, 2021) and Do Transe à Vertigem: Ensaios sobre Bolsonarismo e um Mundo em Transição [From Trance to Vertigo: Essays on Bolsonarismo and a World in Transition] (Ubu, 2022), as well as articles in several international publications.
This event is organised by Ben Trott and Raphael Daibert. It is hosted by the Cultures of Critique DFG research training group and the Center for Critical Studies (CCS).

This semester we welcome the third generation of PhD students at Cultures of Critique. Over the course of the semester, they will present and discuss their PhD projects in the weekly Forschungskolleg. In the Basiskolleg we will discuss various concepts of critique from enlightenment to the present. Our alumnae Isabel Mehl, Anna Königshofer and Alia Rayyan as well as our alumnus Heiko Stubenrauch will join us for one session each. With them we will discuss texts that were central to their PhD theses.
For January we have organized two workshops. The first one, Critique Now. Interdisciplinary Perspective on Critical Practices,is meant to kick-off discussions among the third generation of PhD students and to say farewell to the parting second generation. The second workshop, Feminist Critique of Criminal Law, will bring together scholars and activists to discuss various feminist positions on criminal law.

Everyone is a critic today. But where is the criticism?
We are all experts who evaluate each other.
But where do we get the criteria?
The "Zukunft der Kritik" is a cooperation between the Akademie der Künste, Berlin, and the Kunst- und Ausstellungshalle der Bundesrepublik Deutschland GmbH, Bonn, in collaboration with the German section of the International Association of Art Critics (AICA), the DFG Research Training Group "Cultures of Critique" at Leuphana University Lüneburg and the Institute for the History of Art and Images at Humboldt University Berlin.

Thursday, 12.01.2023, 2.00 - 7.00 p.m.

Moderators: Amelie Buchinger, Rebecca John, Ulrike Jordan, Liza Mattutat, Thorsten Schneider
In recent years, different developments have challenged the concept of critique. On the one hand, new technologies and modes of distribution have given rise to a large number of new practices of expressing dissent, discomfort and objection whose criticality needs to be clarified in each case. On the other hand, postcolonial, decolonial, and transcultural perspectives have problematized fundamental assumptions about critique rooted in the Enlightenment. These developments raise new questions about the validity claims, situatedness, and subjects of critique.
We invited international scholars from various academic disciplines to address these questions against the background of their own research. Their contributions will be the starting point of discussions about a contemporary concept of critique among the third generation of PhD students of the Research Training Group Cultures of Critique. As with this event we would like to welcome the new fellows and say goodbye to the parting group.

Feminist Critique of Criminal Law
Guests: Dania Alasti (FU Berlin), Daria Bayer (Universität Hamburg), Boris Burghardt (HU Berlin/Leuphana Universität Lüneburg), Dilken Çelebi (WWU Münster), Franziska Dübgen (WWU Münster), Rehzi Malzahn (Köln), Liza Mattutat (Leuphana Universität Lüneburg), Leonie Steinl (HU Berlin)

There is not one feminist critique of criminal law, but rather various critiques that are sometimes in conflict with each other. They range from immanent critique, which aims at the abolition, criminalization or reform of specific criminal offences, via approaches of restorative and transformative justice, to abolitionist critique, which calls for the abolition of criminal law altogether. What societal function do these positions assign to criminal law? Which concepts of critique and which concepts of law are implicit in them? Are they mutually exclusive or can they complement each other? The workshop Feminist Critique of Criminal Law aims to address these questions by bringing together representatives of various feminist positions on criminal.
The workshop is organized by the DFG Research Training Group Cultures of Critique in cooperation with the Leuphana Law School. Discussions will be in German.
Please register by January 06, 2023 by sending an email to kdk@leuphana.de with "Strafrechtskritik“ in the subject line.
31.01.2023 Online Workshop
The Wages for Housework Campaign. What Yesterday's Struggles Mean for Today.
Guest: Silvia Federici (New York City)
Organized by Liza Mattutat and Ben Trott
Tuesday, 31.01.2023, 4:15-6:15 p.m.
In the 1970s, feminist groups around the world came together to demand wages for domestic work. Their demand was based on a feminist critique of the Marxist separation of productive and reproductive labor. They insisted that the capitalist wage labor system was only possible under the condition of women's unpaid housework. In doing so, they transformed domestic work into a political arena.
At our workshop Silvia Federici, one of the initiators of the campaign, opened with a talk on the history of the campaign, the feminist movements of the 1970s, and their reception today. The second half of the workshop was discussion-based and provided an opportunity for a critical reflection on the history, legacy and contemporary relevance of feminist theories of social reproduction.
The event was organized as a collaboration between the Research Training Group Cultures of Critique and the Center for Critical Studies (CCS).
The summer term 2022 is quieter than usual at the Research Training Group Cultures of Critique. The writing phase during which the PhD-students complete their dissertations started in February. To enable them to focus on this task, the Research Training Group reduced its program to two workshops: At the end of April, an online workshop with Susanne von Falkenhausen and Astrid Mania continues the series From Where I Stand. At the end of May, a workshop with artist Renuka Rajiv is scheduled, in which the PhD-students will create a zine. Beyond these events, the summer semester will be devoted to preparations for the third generation of the Research Training Group, which will start in October 2022.

Guest: Mariví Véliz (University of Miami)
Organized by Sebastián Eduardo und Ulrike Jordan
nGbK, event space, 1st floor, Oranienstraße 25, 10999 Berlin
If forced disappearance has already gained an endemic status in Latin America – how may artistic responses look like, coming from the very places of loss? This workshop with Marivi Véliz focuses on the different ways that violent deaths or disappearances relate to performance art in contemporary Latin America. In the public evening lecture “Women to Power: Art, Politics and Migration in Regina José Galindo and Tania Bruguera”, Véliz will address the disparities and complexities of migration, highlighting the role of female artists in Latin American performance art while focusing on Central American immigration to the United States and migration as culture.

In the Basic College, we turn to critical practices. Not only do they pull out the stops of judgment and discernment that have been common since the Enlightenment, but they also aim at disruption, hacking, commoning, obfuscation. They express themselves in ways of life and resistant aesthetics.

Topics are e.g. different ways of writing, critical practices, delinking/decolonial thinking.

In the Winter Term 2016/17 the College began. We started out by negotiating basic terms of critique in our Basic Seminar, from Enlightenment to the present.
What is the historical significance of critique? What kind of dialectic might be conciliating theoretical critique and "Kritik im Handgemenge" (critique in a scuffle, Marx)? Is critique a process of negotiation of existing conditions (Adorno) or one of affirmation on an immanent basis of forces, affects and intensities (Deleuze)? What are feminist or postcolonial genealogies of critique?
