- Poetry Evening: Between Heart and Algorithm
Monday, October 26, 7:00 to 8:30 PM, at Herbergsgasse 7 in Basel In a relaxed setting, we will read, recite, and discuss selected poems on the topic from all eras of German literary history up to the present. We look forward to all interested students and young adults. Digitization, globalization, and urbanization have changed our lifestyle and given new faces to proximity, distance, and loneliness. At the same time, many facets of digitization remain unknown and mysterious to us. We will explore these through the art form of poetry: poetry goes far beyond everyday language, alienates it, and makes moods and emotions tangible through meaningful form and richness of imagery. Special literary knowledge is not required (but of course welcome), as we will not be conducting a theoretical analysis, but rather wish to have and enjoy practical experiences. Led by: Abaris Schild (studying German Studies and Philosophy) and Andreas Schalbetter SJ (poet and theologian) Registration by 10 PM the previous evening at kug@unibas.ch facilitates our planning and implementation.
