Turn On. Turn Off. Über den Wandel von Paradigmen in den Künsten und Wissenschaften
A lecture of the International Research Training Group InterArt at the Institut für Theaterwissenschaft of Freie Universität Berlin

During the last 60 years, fundamental changes of paradigms have taken place in political, social and technological contexts. In the course of these changes, academia and knowledge culture have fundamentally been transformed, too. Especially in the arts and the art-linked sciences, one turn is followed by another: abstract, concrete, performative or spatial, interactive or multimedia – paradigmatic demarcations are formed and unformed every time anew. The art theories created in order to explain new art phenomena lose their validity as quick as they have been established. Yet, which relevance is nowadays contained by the term of `paradigm`? How is the term distinguished in art theory and practice? Is there interplay to paradigmatic structures in culture, society and university? The lecture series approaches those central issues multiperspectively: It shall be theoretically elucidated which kind of paradigms exist in esthetics and art philosophy. Each art theory reflects its relation to precise, singular phenomena in its academic constitution, whereas inquiries of historically based paradigms often reveal breakages. On the other hand, we aim for a discussion which is oriented on singular art phenomena. This discussion will be centered on the question, which critical potential is included in arts and humanities in past and present days.
