 May 21, 2021 / 8:30 p.m., live stream on YouTube Choreographers' Atelier - Part 2 BORDER AREAS / Sven Rücker schwere reiter Sven Rücker: Borderless modernity? Self-birth and self-transcendence. Just as modernity sees itself in its self-descriptions as an age of dissolution of boundaries and transgression, so too do its subjects. The individual is expected to face ever-new challenges, to be flexible and to understand the whole of life as an ongoing movement of self-transcendence. I would like to retell the genesis of this new and supposedly boundless subjectivity, which begins in the history of ideas with German Idealism and in political history with the French Revolution, yet simultaneously refers back to much older mythemes, above all Hesiod’s “Theogony.” The perspectival vanishing point of this narrative is a different understanding of modernity that contradicts modernity’s central self-descriptions: rather than leading toward a dissolution of all boundaries, it moves toward the emergence of new type of a boundary that allows for a much more massive enclosedness. Sven Rücker is a lecturer at the Free University of Berlin. His most recent publication was a book about masses (with Gunter Gebauer). Among other projects, he has contributed to “Lange Nacht” (Deutschlandradio) and “Spoken Essay" (SWR) and to the theater piece “Die Terroristen” in Luxembourg and Vienna.
