Aufhebung Association: Upcoming Event
Aufhebung Association in cooperation with
Trubarjeva Literature House, kindly invites you to a lecture:
"Walking in Circles: Hegel avec Smole on the Historical Repetition of Nothing"
Rachel Aumiller (Hamburg)
7th of September 2017
7PM, Trubarjeva Literature House,
Stritarjeva 7.
This lecture will illustrate the Hegelian
theme of historical progress/circling through a study of Dominik Smole’s
celebrated Antigona in the context of postwar Yugoslavia.
Smole’s play was first performed in 1960
three years after Ljubljana’s first annual walk around the Path of Remembrance
and Comradeship. Smole’s characters are also seen walking in circles as if
doubling the newly implemented memorial walk. While Smole’s characters are
themselves split and doubled—at times played by two actors—Antigone never
appears on stage.
Antigone’s repeated silence/absence
drives the other characters to a point of madness in their frenzied circling.
In contrast to a memorial event that offers us a repeated opportunity to
peacefully reflect upon events and personas of our past—in order to continue to
move forward—dialectical circling returns to a negative (non)event that failed
to occur at the beginning.
Rachel Aumiller received her doctorate in
philosophy from Villanova University in 2016 and is now a research associate at
the Maimonides Centre for Advanced Studies at the University of Hamburg, and an
editor of De Gruyter’s Studies and Texts in Scepticism.
She is also currently collaborating with
the Ljubljana-based research team on the project “The Language of Touch.”
Previosly, she was a 2014-15 Fulbright
scholar to Slovenia where she wrote her dissertation, The Laughing Matter of
Spirit.
As a postdoc, she continues to develop
her own comic metaphysics of Being and Nothingness, which is in dialogue with
Hegel’s philosophy and the Ljubljana school of psychoanalysis.
