Listening Exercises: Towards Ethics of Silent Resistance (at Spui25, Amsterdam), jan 2024
with Costica Bradatan and Miriam Rasch

NIAS - research institute

parasites life - doing nothing - embracing the loser (as example they gave Emiel Cioran who refused to get a job and lived poor in Paris)
but it's the hardest thing to do - doing nothing
Looking the void in the face
nowadays we just work work, work, we are self-enslaved
Samuel Beckett said 'What if we fail worse...'
The dark side of existence
constant positivity and optimism, sugar coated reality when you don't even get a chance to the darkest side of existence

opting out - nowadays online invisibility is paying a high price
project = you pro ject something into the future
Sartre (Life is a project)
practice = has no deadline, like a project has
to do nothing as doing nothing to contribute to the economic market, to change the world

listening - deep listening, is a passive activity, quantum effect
about books and dictatorship
relevance = danger (example Jan Patocka)
irrelevance = safety

Khanyisile Mbongwa is a Cape Town-based independent curator, award-winning artist, and sociologist who engages with her curatorial practice as Curing & Care. Thus using the creative to instigate spaces for emancipatory practices, joy and play.

Working across, performance, sculpture, law and policy-making, his practice is an ongoing exploration of social justice that blurs the boundaries between, art, law, governance, and consultancy. Looking toward alternative cosmologies and knowledge systems that predate Judaeo-Christian or colonial narratives, Tan interrogates the legacies of colonialism with a particular interest in Commonwealth and Tropical epistemologies of resistance. By questioning how embedded societal structures form our laws and guide our behaviour, Tan's work attempts to rethink our entanglement with the human and more-than-human world, and looks towards alternative ways of living and working.

Phantasmagoria, alternatively fantasmagorie and/or fantasmagoria, was a form of horror theatre that used one or more magic lanterns to project frightening images – such as skeletons, demons, and ghosts – onto walls, smoke, or semi-transparent screens, typically using rear projection to keep the lantern out of sight

Gonzo journalism is a style of journalism that is written without claims of objectivity, often including the reporter as part of the story using a first-person narrative. The word "gonzo" is believed to have been first used in 1970 to describe an article about the Kentucky Derby by Hunter S. Thompson, who popularized the style. It is an energetic first-person participatory writing style in which the author is a protagonist, and it draws its power from a combination of social critique and self-satire. It has since been applied to other subjective artistic endeavors.

Simulacra and Simulation (French: Simulacres et Simulation) is a 1981 philosophical treatise by the philosopher and cultural theorist Jean Baudrillard, in which he seeks to examine the relationships between reality, symbols, and society, in particular the significations and symbolism of culture and media involved in constructing an understanding of shared existence.

Simulacra are copies that depict things that either had no original, or that no longer have an original.[1] Simulation is the imitation of the operation of a real-world process or system over time.

The Society of the Spectacle (French: La société du spectacle) is a 1967 work of philosophy and Marxist critical theory by Guy Debord where he develops and presents the concept of the Spectacle. The book is considered a seminal text for the Situationist movement. Debord published a follow-up book Comments on the Society of the Spectacle in 1988.

The spectacle is a central notion in the Situationist theory, developed by Guy Debord in his 1967 book The Society of the Spectacle. In the general sense, the spectacle refers to "the autocratic reign of the market economy which had acceded to an irresponsible sovereignty, and the totality of new techniques of government which accompanied this reign."[1] It also exists in a more limited sense, where spectacle means the mass media, which are "its most glaring superficial manifestation."[2]

The critique of the spectacle is a development and application of Karl Marx's concept of fetishism of commodities, reification and alienation,[3] and the way it was reprised by György Lukács in 1923. In the society of the spectacle, commodities rule the workers and consumers, instead of being ruled by them; in this way, individuals become passive subjects who contemplate the reified (or solidified) spectacle.

The theatre of the absurd (French: théâtre de l'absurde [teɑtʁ(ə) də lapsyʁd]) is a post–World War II designation for particular plays of absurdist fiction written by a number of primarily European playwrights in the late 1950s. It is also a term for the style of theatre the plays represent. The plays focus largely on ideas of existentialism and express what happens when human existence lacks meaning or purpose and communication breaks down. The structure of the plays is typically a round shape, with the finishing point the same as the starting point. Logical construction and argument give way to irrational and illogical speech and to the ultimate conclusion—silence.

Derrida described différance as “an economic concept designating the production of differing/deferring”. It is “neither a word nor a concept” but a “gesture of control” – an attempt to define the processes of difference and deferral in the production of meaning in language.

Deconstruction theory aims to dismantle the binaries underlaying the framework of society and language in order to show that these binaries are unstable. We can expand this definition further through Derrida's concept of differ'ance, which assumes that all meaning is eternally deferred because meaning is relational.

Accordingly, post-structuralism discards the idea of interpreting media (or the world) within pre-established, socially constructed structures. Structuralism proposes that human culture can be understood by means of a structure that is modeled on language.

Subaltern Studies is often considered to be "exemplary of postcolonial studies" and as one of the most influential movements in the field. Their anti-essentialist approach is one of history from below, focused more on what happens among the masses at the base levels of society than among the elite.
