10.00–10.20 h Introduction to the Symposium

10.30–12.30 h Im/Perceptible Gesture

The panel assembles different perspectives on this entanglement in order to discuss, what forms of gestural affections, expressions, practices and meaning emerge in different historical and technical constellations.

14.00–16.00 h Gesture and the Political

The panel approaches the political gesture by observing that the media-communicated protest gesture is/becomes prevalent in popular culture as well as in art. The re-enactment and the transmission of protest with and by gesture—beyond the spatial as well as temporal, even beyond the physical context—is the focus of the discussion.

16.30–18.30 h Staging the Entanglement between Arts and Humanities

The panel reflects the work processes between artistic and scientific actors in interdisciplinary projects, including the example of cooperation in the project EGMP. The interdisciplinary collaboration of artists and scientists, the (self-)organization or methodology of collaborative working as well as the presentation of such work processes in project results such as exhibitions are
treated topics.
