Lecture Series: Complex Bodies in Culture, Literature, and Science

10/10/2025

You are cordially invited to attend the lecture series "Complex Bodies" in the winter semester 2025/26!

This German-English lecture series explores the complexity of (individualist, relational and collectivist) body concepts and body images at the intersection of the humanities, rehabilitation sciences and medicine. It discusses how scientific discourses, literary works, films and other (multi)medial and social practices question or defer fixed classifications and essentialist, naturalised differences, hold them in suspense and generate productive symbioses, synergies, resignifications, bifurcations and transgressions. In the context of current biopolitical tendencies of simplification and reductionism, we invite you to join a critical examination of new interdisciplinary, intersectional and interdiscursive strategies of complexity production. Individual lectures will address current political, aesthetic and legal debates on as well as historical approaches to the topics of body/embodiment, gender, sexual orientation, illness, disability and racialisation.

For detailed information, please refer to the programme.

Organisation:

Prof. Dr. Katrin Röder and Prof. Dr. Sigrid Nieberle

Time & Venue:

The lecture series takes place on Tuesdays from 2 to 4 p.m. (c.t.) at TU Dortmund University, Emil-Figge-Straße 50, 44227 Dortmund, in Lecture Hall 2.

The lecture is open everyone interested and students from all degree programms.

Students of TU Dortmund University can register via LSF.
