Norbert Lacko : Frameworks of Modernity
On critical thinking as a wartime act and what may lie beyond its borders
VVP AVU kindly invites you to a lecture from the autumn cycle Wednesdays at AVU
NORBERT LACKO /Bratislava/
THE RAMIFICATIONS OF MODERNITY
ON CRITICAL THINKING AS A WAR ACT AND WHAT MAY LIE BEYOND ITS BORDERS
2-11-2016, 18:00
Critical thinking as a war act understands the problem of art in a close connection with the understanding of the social world as a dynamic environment created by power relations. The power dimension here is not present merely as an addition to the theory of art, but directly as a fundamental constructive element in the form of an ontological minimum, and at the same time a source of the dynamics of historical events. For us, this may signify a problem that must be dealt with, so that the grasping of art does not occur only in the form of negative pointing to historical injustices, exploitation, or as demystification of ideological mystifications, but so that it is possible to build a positive science of works and aesthetic experience.
Norbert Lacko (*1975) is an assistant professor at the Department of Theory and History of Art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bratislava. He teaches subjects such as Foundations of Philosophy and History of Aesthetics.
The cycle was prepared by Anna Daučíková, moderated by Tomáš Hříbek
