The international workshop "Thinking in Unity after Postmodernism - Figures of Unity, Presence and Transendence at the Millennium" is an interdisciplinary conference oriented towards literature, film, drama and philosophy.
The workshop is aimed at graduate students, doctoral candidates, post-docs and established scholars interested in innovative approaches to aesthetics, literature and film that reach beyond poststructuralism and post-colonial thoery.
The goal of the workshop is to provide a platform for discussing and assessing methodological and theoretical innovations arising after postmodernism in an interdisciplinary, international framework. A publication of the workshop's proceedings is planned.
The organizers of the workshop, Raoul Eshelman and Irina Hron-Öberg, conducted an eponymous graduate seminar at the Institute for Slavic Philology and Institute for Comparative Literature at the LMU in Munich in the summer semester of 2010. The seminar treated the theories of Jean-Luc Marion, Peter Sloterdijk and Eric Gans as well as other topics relevant for the workshop.
The workshop is generously supported by the Graduate Center of the Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich.
