The Professor's Body. Academic Affects and Habitus (Seminar)

Inhalt: As famously stated by bell hooks in her essay “Eros, Eroticism, and the Pedagogical Process”, the professor´s body is marked by both “repression and denial”. Caught up in the long-exhausted Cartesian split between body and mind, teaching in higher education seems like a predominantly cerebral affair. In such an environment, the language for articulating and intervening in what the body is and what it does remains critically underdeveloped. The public program at Kunstraum will focus on the professorial body as a site of both disciplinary power and radical pedagogic emancipation. As hooks insists, there is a latent transgressiveness to higher university education that calls for a critical analysis of both power and pleasure. Such an analysis must begin with the ongoing failure of many universities to address the countless examples of sexual harassment and violence by male professors. The enduring difficulty of hook´s appeal, however, comes into better focus when considering the intense discussions in feminist milieus and scholarship around student teacher relations in such cases as Jane Gallop, author of "Feminist Accused of Sexual Harassment", or more recently, Avital Ronell, famed US-scholar accused of sexual harassment by one of her queer students. The seminar will take place in a display and exhibition by the artist Leda Bourgogne. Besides two longer, more theoretical seminar sessions, the seminar will unfold over five evenings, during which students will actively engage with artists and writers on the issues outlined. Guests will include Leda Bourgogne, Rui An Ho, Franz(is) Kabisch, Rahel Spöhrer and Maximiliane Baumgartner. The session with Rahel Spoerer on Nov 13 will consist of a writing workshop.
