<br>
<br>https://www.philosophie.tu-darmstadt.de/media/institut_fuer_philosophie/veranstaltungen_pwt/sose2020/PaduaSummerSchool_Call.pdf
<br>
<br>The summer school on "Mimesis and Composition - Anthropological
<br>Perspectives on Technology and Art" invites contributions from
<br>pilosophy, archaeology, cultural and cognitive anthropology, history and
<br>philosophy of technology, art theory, media studies, and STS. Advanced
<br>MA students, PhD candidates and postdocs can send expressions of
<br>interest by June 10 to nordmann@phil.tu-darmstadt.de - there are no
<br>costs for participation in the summer school, also accommodation and
<br>most meals will be covered.
<br>
<br>Mimesis and composition refer to principles of artful production in
<br>technology and the arts. Mimesis seeks patterns for imitation and
<br>repetition, creating affective routines somewhat as rituals or games do.
<br>Composition refers to a grammar of things. In painting and poetry, music
<br>and photography, in mechanical and software engineering composition
<br>appears inventive and “natural” at once as one finds the right way of
<br>putting things together. -- What kinds of thinking and social practice
<br>are implicated in mimetic and compositional tinkering, making, building?
<br>How do humans and humanity shape and reshape themselves through
<br>technology and art?
<br>
<br>Featured guest speakers: Tim Ingold (anthropology, Aberdeen) and Maria
<br>Muhle (philosophy, aesthetic theory, Munich) - The core faculty
<br>includes: Natascha Adamowsky (Cultural and Media Studies, Siegen),
<br>Jacopo Bonetto (Archaeology, Padova), Marcello Ghilardi (Archaeology,
