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.
