The art of the seminar and the power of small things
Jeffrey Goldfarb’s intellectual engagement in the public sphere is rooted in his commitment to the seminar as a unique form of pedagogy, social interaction, and democratic deliberation. His skill around a table is, however, not only a craft that has been honed in the classroom; Goldfarb’s art of the seminar has also travelled geographically and virtually onto various platforms. His commitment to dialogue continues to serve as a way in which indiv…
Small things, deep resonance
Remembering Ricca Edmondson
Melancholic Imprisonment in Memory
Ghostly pasts and postponed futures
Since the first lockdown in March 2020, time seems to have slowed to a continuous present tense. The Greek language has three words to express different experiences of time: aion, chronos and kairos. If aion is the boundless and limbo-like time of eternity, chronos represents chronological, sequential, and linear time. Kairos, however, signifies the rupture of ordinary time with the opportune moment, epiphany and redemption, revolution, and most …
Statelessness, Refugees, and Hospitality
As the war in Syria and the destruction of the Calais camp in France in 2016 bitterly demonstrate, declarations of human rights and asylum devolve into empty promises without a common sense of solidarity and an implicit understanding that we share responsibility for the world and one another. Today's refugee crisis demonstrates that many of the problems that Hannah Arendt identified during the first half of the twentieth century are still with us…
Thought at the meridian
There is something deeply compelling about the writing and life of Albert Camus. Novelist, essayist, journalist, playwright – Camus managed to both embody the spirit of his time and transcend it. B
The End of the European Honeymoon
With the rise of populism, European solidarity risks being eroded by a clash of solidarities based on nation and religion. Ranging from hospitality to hostility, ‘refugees welcome’ to ‘close the borders’, asylum seekers from Syria and other war-torn countries test the very ideas upon which the EU was founded: human rights, tolerance and the free movement of people. European solidarity is not only rooted in philosophical ideas of equality and free…
Haunted house
The Anxiety of Influence
Twenty-five years after the fall of the Soviet Union, the legacy of totalitarianism continues to haunt the continent. As reflected in the 2009 European Parliamentary debates on the European Day of
Memory and Representation in Contemporary Europe
Why do certain places and not others symbolically capture the past and freeze time? Likewise, why does the process of memory, as a fluid and changing activity, seem to prevent its own solidification? Memory and Representation in Contemporary Europe reflects not only on the persistence of the past as a theme linked to modernity, media and time, but also discusses the politics of memory within a changing Europe. Drawing on the theoretical work of H…
The Spirit of Hamburg
Literature and the Afterlife of Events
Like many writers, W. G. Sebald was fascinated with the ways in which the past shapes the present. What distinguishes him is the sense that the past continues to radiate and seep into the present. The travels of his characters are often mediated via historical fragments from bygone times. Photographs, documents, passports, landscapes, streets and architectural monoliths all exude an aura from a previous life. Each object’s existence has an afterl…
Literature and the Afterlife of Events
In the shadow of Antigone
Moral blindness is a series of conversations between Zgymunt Bauman and Leonidas Donskis on themes that are central to Bauman’s earlier work: What are the lessons of the Holocaust? How can one act
Why the World Matters
Hannah Arendt’s philosophical project is an untiring attempt to argue that the world with all its failures and weaknesses does and should matter. Refusing to succumb to the destructive tendency within modernity, she cultivates creativity, action and responsibility. One way to appreciate the originality of Arendt’s philosophy of action and new beginnings is via her reading of two thinkers who were part of what she terms, “the great tradition.” If …

Memory, Pluralism and the Agony of Politics
Does Ethics Have a Chance in a World of Consumers? by Zygmunt Bauman
War Memorials and the Politics of Memory
Agreeing to Disagree on the Legacies of Recent History
Since 1989, social change in Europe has moved between two stories. The first being a politics of memory emphasizing the specificity of culture in national narratives, and the other extolling the virtues of the Enlightenment heritage of reason and humanity. While the Holocaust forms a central part of West European collective memory, national victimhood of former Communist countries tends to occlude the centrality of the Holocaust. Highlighting exa…

Representing German Victimhood and Guilt
Commemorating National Socialism and Communism from the perspectiveof 1989 often results in an uneasy conflation of Germanguilt and victimhood. When the events of 1933-1989 are presentedas one long authoritarian period, war and tyranny can easily be construedas external forces that simply befell the German nation.While memories of national guilt are divisive, memories of victimhoodunify and simplify an otherwise ambiguous past. The 1995restoratio…
