Spring conference of the IGS on "Resonance and Power" in Erfurt (26 to 28 February)

This year's spring conference of the IGS will tackle the problem of "Resonance and Power". In workshops organised by the doctoral researchers and contributions by external speakers examin the manifold and complex relations between Resonance and Power. The latter is not understood as a force that is exercised by the powerful over the powerless. Rather, the organizers Katharina Waldner and Jürgen Martschukat (both Erfurt), seek to ask about the different forms power takes and what the practices of power are in ancient and modern societies. Experts from the fields of history, philosophy and sociology and theology will discuss key questions such as how power creates or thwarts resonance, or how power operates in and through resonant relations. A basic assumption is that resonant power is neither sovereign nor disciplinary in the first place, but rather governmental and affective.
