IDP MIMESIS (LMU Munich): Closing Conference (L)imitation, 8 - 9 April 2021

Dear Professors, Colleagues and Students,
Dear All,

We cordially invite you to join our upcoming closing conference (L)imitation: Boundaries of Mimesis from the 8th to the 9th of April 2021. The conference will be held online via Zoom due to the current Covid-19 pandemic. All information and the registration form can be found by clicking on the following link: https://www.mimesis-doc.uni-muenchen.de/conferences/l-imitation/index.html

The title (L)imitation addresses possible boundaries of mimesis: Is mimetic potential limited? Are these limitations determined, even constructed; or are they needed as a driving impetus? The conference adopts an interdisciplinary perspective and aims at exploring the limits of mimesis as an aesthetic, socio-cultural and anthropological key concept. Looking back on the work of the IDP MIMESIS, the conference intends to further explore and productively review these concepts, as well as historical and political aspects of the mimetic.

The public lectures by Elisabeth Bronfen (UZH Zurich), Nidesh Lawtoo (KU Leuven), Riccardo Nicolosi (LMU Munich) and Monika Wagner (UHH Hamburg) are open to everyone interested. Please register for lectures here.
Researchers and doctoral students are invited to participate in our working groups. If you wish to join, please apply here until 10 March 2021.

For more information, please see the attached digital programme. All time indications are Munich local time (CEST).

We would kindly appreciate if you could forward this invitation to colleagues and students who might be interested. Should you have any questions or comments, please contact us at: l-imitation@lrz.uni-muenchen.de.

Sincerely,

Marc Adamczack, Franziska Link, Joana Mylek, Irma Petraityte-Luksiene, Marik Roos, Bettina Vitzthum
