	Existence and Perspectivity. Some Reflections on Perspectivism in Nietzsche and Patočka	Mon, 04.11.2024	Seminars and Colloquia	Jakub Čapek Ludger Hagedorn	Existence and Perspectivity. Some Reflections on Perspectivism in Nietzsche and Patočka Mon, 04.11.2024 Speakers: Jakub Čapek Ludger Hagedorn Series: Seminars and Colloquia The notion of perspectivity refers to the fact that the cognition and self-understanding of human beings are bound to their point of view, be it literally their position in space or their linguistic-cultural identity. Examples of perspectivity thus range from perception (I see the same room from a different angle than anyone else) to intersubjective and intercultural perspectivity (where e.g., the discovery of America is instead seen as the encounter or collision of cultures), and even extend to perspectivism in the shaping of one’s life.

	Feminism, Modernism and Resistance to Empire in Ukraine	Tue, 28.06.2022	Panels and Discussions	Katherine Younger Uilleam BlackerTamara Hundorova	Feminism, Modernism and Resistance to Empire in Ukraine Tue, 28.06.2022 Speakers: Katherine Younger Uilleam BlackerTamara Hundorova Series: Panels and Discussions Tamara Hundorova and Uilleam Blacker discussed the work of Lesia Ukrainka (Larysa Kosach, 1871-1913), a Ukrainian modernist, feminist and anti-colonial thinker, in the context of Russia’s war in Ukraine and the move towards decolonizing the study of Russia and Eastern Europe. Lesia Ukrainka is a canonical figure in Ukraine, known for her fiery poems opposing Russian colonial rule in Ukraine and praising freedom. Her most accomplished works were her dramas, however, which transform stories and myths drawn from European and world culture into feminist and anti-imperial allegories: these with their focus on imperial violence, the importance of freedom and the twisting of truth, have much to teach us today.
