Andrew Hewitt: Choreography is a way of thinking about the relationship of aesthetics to politics

[Interviewed by: Goran Sergej Pristaš ]

Frakcija: The key concept and the title of your book is “social choreography” and you use it in relation to both dance and the aesthetic of everyday movement. How do you frame that concept and how is it related to choreography as artistic practice? Andrew Hewitt: My methodology of “social choreography” is rooted in an attempt to think the aesthetic as it operates at the very base of social experience.

FROM BIOPOLITICS TO NECROPOLITICS

[Marina Gržinić]

Intentions of this lecture are: to situate from which point I am talking and to bring into the story new positions of theory, knowledge and analysis; to differentiate in- between biopolitics and necropolitics; to take into an analysis an art performative project produced in Slovenia in order to see if contemporary art services necropolitics; to see the linking of necropolitics and neoliberal capitalism and the relation toward institutions of art and culture...

THE EMANCIPATED SPECTATOR

[Jacques Rancière]

I gave to this talk the title: «the emancipated spectator». As I understand it, a title is always a challenge. It sets forth the presupposition that an expression makes sense, that there is a link between separate terms, which also means between concepts, problems and theories which seem at first sight to bear no direct relation on each other.

THE PASSION OF PROCEDURALISM

[Bojana Cvejić]

One of the first comments I could call out after the performance of The Theatre of Repetitions was: finally! Finally an event where music and theatre engage on an autonomous third plane of philosophy, saved from the obsessive search for a suitable Musik+Theater relationship whereby the capacity for representation in music traditionally is weighed against theatrical staging.

THE WORK OF ART IN THE AGE OF DIGITAL REPRODUCTION

[Robert Luxemburg]

When Marx undertook his critique of the capitalistic mode of production, this mode was in its infancy. Marx directed his efforts in such a way as to give them prognostic value. He went back to the basic conditions underlying capitalistic production and through his presentation showed what could be expected of capitalism in the future. The result was that one could expect it not only to exploit the proletariat with increasing intensity, but ultimately to create conditions which would make it possible to abolish capitalism itself.

TOWARDS THE TECHNO-HUMANITIES: A Manifesto

[Mikhail N. Epstein ]
