Public Lecture: Wednesday November 18th 17:00-19:00 RHB 309 Hosted by Departments of Art, Visual Cultures and Centre for Cultural Studies
“The exhausted is he who, having exhausted his purpose, is himself exhausted, such that a dissolution of the subject corresponds to the abolition of the world. (…) The exhaustion unleashes what ‘links’ us to the world, what ‘supports’ us and others, what makes us ‘cling’ to its words and images, what gives us ‘comfort’ within the illusion of completion (of the self, the us, the meaning, freedom, the future) – an illusion that we have already abandoned at times, even though we still feel close to it.”
Peter Pál Pélbart’s work addresses contemporary issues of biopolitics, nihilism, subjectivity, micropolitics, aesthetics, care, and much more. Peter Pal Pélbart is a philosopher and lecturer at PUC university (where he convenes Núcleo de Estudos da Subjetividade with Suely Rolnik) in São Paulo. He is part of Ueinnzz theater company, Editor of n-1 publications, and a collaborator with Molecular Organization. Pélbart is the author of Cartography of Exhaustion, a compilation of texts from 10-20 years ago, together with more recent work translated into English. He was a student of Deleuze and has translated Deleuze and Guattari extensively into Portuguese. Books in Portuguese include Da clausura do fora ao fora da clausura, Vida Capital and O tempo não-reconciliado.
