Reading Group: Plattform Geschichtspolitik Giorgio Agamben: "Remnants of Auschwitz - The Witness and the Archive"

"In its form, this book is a kind of perpetual commentary on testimony. It did not seem possible to proceed otherwise. At a certain point, it became clear that testimony contained at its core an essential lacuna; in other words, the survivors bore witness to something it is impossible to bear witness to. As a consequence, commenting on survivors' testimony necessarily meant interrogating this lacuna or, more precisely, attempting to listen to it. Listening to something absent did not prove fruitless work for this author. Above all, it made it necessary to clear away almost all the doctrines that, since Auschwitz, have been advanced in the name of ethics." —Giorgio Agamben

Giorgio Agamben is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Venice. He is the author of Profanations (2007), Remnants of Auschwitz: The Witness and the Archive (2002), both published by Zone Books, and other books.

"Agamben's moving text on the Nazi death camps asks what happens to speech when the deracinated subject speaks. Although some say that Auschwitz makes witnessing impossible, Agamben shows how the one who speaks bears this impossibility within his own speech, bordering the human and the inhuman. Agamben probes for us the condition of speech at the limit of the human, evoking the horror and the near unspeakability of the inhuman as it witnesses in language its own undoing." —Judith Butler, Maxine Elliot Professor of Rhetoric and Comparative Literature, University of California, Berkeley

READING: bell hooks - Critical Genealogies: Writing Black Art In: Art On My Mind: Visual Politics, New York Press, 1995 (proposed by Marissa Lobo) bell hooks is an author, feminist, and social activist. She is mainly known as a feminist thinker, her writings cover a broad range of topics on gender, race, teaching and the significance of media for contemporary culture. She strongly believes that these topics cannot be dealt with as separately, but must be understood as being interconnectedness. As an example, she refers to the idea of a "White Supremacist Capitalist Patriarchy" and its interconnectedness, rather than to its more traditionally separated and component parts. Art On My Mind: Visual Politics is a critical response to dialogues about producing, exhibiting and criticizing art and aesthetics at a time when the art world is locked in an analysis of identity politics. The book addresses the question of how art can be an empowering and revolutionary force within the black community. 10.05.2010, MONDAY M1 at 20.30 Peter Haselmayer, performance, diploma discussion

11.05. 2010 TUESDAY

At 19.00 Panel Diskussion über kollektive politische Praxen

WHERE: Radowanhalle (neben Café AN-DO), Yppenplatz 11-15 1160 Wien Nearest U-bahn station: line U6/ station: Josefstädter Straße

The panel discussion is part of the project “AG Migration und Antirassismus SOHO Projekt” initiated by AG anti-racism and migration that was constituted within the university protests in Vienna 2009/2010. Panel languages: English and German The recent analysis is informing us that the subjugation of the self i.e. of the subject or human being has become the subjugation of the self to the extreme degree i.e. extreme subjectification that imposes extreme passivity and individualism. The self is seen in its co-dependence on the long history of capitalism. Racism is tolerated as some kind of social mechanism that compensate for other pressures imposed upon societies. Thus, racism is conceptualized as regulator (ventil) necessary for the “normal” wellbeing of societies. On the other hand, capitalist structures are imposing control, fragmentization, individualization and particularization through identity politics. Subjects are uniting on the basis of the fiction of ethnicity, nation, etc. Therefore, struggles focus on gaining one more right for one specific group within the system that functions through the rule of non-rights as complement of rights, system that is excluding while including. Structural issues related to capitalism that is based on exploitation and functions through construction of race (besides other mechanisms) are not taken in consideration. In order to intervene in such frame, we would like to discuss different proposals or forms of organization: from self-organization to extreme-organization conceptualized because, as said, due to the extreme subjectification by capital today, the concept of self organization is becoming less and less able to account for the radical political intervention within/against the global neo-liberal capitalist order . Furthermore, we want to discuss what kind of strategies and analysis we need today.

17. 5.2010, MONDAY At 12.00 Treffpunkt: 12:00, Haupteingang Stephansdom

Plattform Geschichtspolitik: Stadtspaziergang zu ausgewählten „Türkendenkmälern“ im 1. Bezirk mit Silvia Dallinger, Johann Heiss, Johanna Witzeling (Institut für Sozialanthropologie, Österreichische Akademie der Wissenschaften)

Dauer Stadtspaziergang: ca. 1 ½ Stunden anschließend Gruppendiskussion: ca. 2 Stunden am Institut für Soziologie (Rooseveltplatz 2, gegenüber Votivkirche, 4. Stock, Besprechungszimmer)

Als „Bollwerk des christlichen Abendlandes“ – so präsentiert sich Wien im öffentlichen Raum mittels zahlreicher Denkmäler, die an die Zweite Wiener Türkenbelagerung 1683 erinnern. Das interdisziplinäre Dissertationsprojekt „Die Türken vor (und in) Wien“ untersucht das bereits seit Jahrhunderten im kollektiven Gedächtnis der Österreicher und Österreicherinnen verankerte Geschichtsbild „der Türken“, das bis heute immer wieder (re)aktiviert, aktualisiert und instrumentalisiert worden ist. Ein Stadtspaziergang durch den 1. Bezirk soll die Hintergründe der Entstehung, der Funktionen und Bedeutungen ausgewählter „Türkendenkmäler“ veranschaulichen. Inwiefern tragen diese Siegessymbole des Mythos „Türkenbelagerung“ und aktuelle Rückgriffe auf 1683 („Abendland in Christenhand“) auch heute noch dazu bei, Türken(feind)bilder zu tradieren? In einer Gruppendiskussion im Anschluss an den Rundgang wird es die Möglichkeit zu einem ausführlichen Austausch geben, dabei soll vor allem die Frage erörtert werden, ob und wie ein kritisch-reflexiver Diskurs über den Umgang mit dem Gedenken an 1683 bzw. konkret mit „Türkendenkmälern“ stattfinden soll und welche Rolle die Kunst dabei spielen könnte. Um verbindliche Teilnahme an der Gruppendiskussion wird gebeten.

Route: • Stephansdom: Türkenbefreiungsdenkmal, Capistrankanzel, Informationen zum Türkenritthof • Kapuzinerkirche: Marco-d’Aviano-Denkmal • Burggarten: Abraham-a-Sancta-Clara-Denkmal • Heldenplatz: Prinz-Eugen-Denkmal, Kreuz des Österreichischen Katholikentages 1983 • Mölkerbastei: Liebenbergdenkmal

Sie markiert den Beginn eines kontinuierlichen Prozesses, in dem die Teilhabe der Akademie an Kolonialismus, (Austro-)Faschismus und Nationalsozialismus kritisch reflektiert und öffentlich verhandelt wird. Hierbei wurden Schwerpunkte definiert: Kontaktaufnahme mit ZeitzeugInnen, Provenienzforschung über diverse Bestände der Akademie, Restitutionsfragen sowie die kritische Intervention in architektonische und räumliche Manifestationen. Aus aktuellem Anlass werden wir in Bezug auf den letzten Punkt auch über Möglichkeiten der Denkmalumgestaltung sprechen.
