9.9. 2025 Musikhochschule Letzi Basel

Philosopher Golnar Narimani presents her research on Emmanuel Lévinas, hospitality and the actuality of his aesthetics.

The lectures in this series bring together philoso-phers, social scientists, curators and media scholars who are grappling with the changes taking place in today's society. In these turbulent times, artistic production should be aware of these changes. The lectures and discussions provide a theoretical back- ground for five projects in the master's programme 'Music and Scene in Transformation' (MUST) that deal with micro-political forms of resistance (intimate shout outs), hospitality and intersubjective encoun-ters (nice to know you), post-digital music theatre (collective work), the exhausted self (between two deaths) and the question of whether the figure of the migrating subject could lead artists beyond the dead ends of identity politics (between worlds).

The six evenings combine a guest lecture, open discussions and drinks from the bar at Letzi.
