On Violence
#1: With Elsa Dorlin
Moderation: Max Jorge Hinderer Cruz (ADKDW) and Margarita Tsomou (HAU)
- Dialogue
The series “On Violence” kicks off with French philosopher Elsa Dorlin, talking about self-defence and patriarchal violence. In “Self-defense: A philosophy of violence” (English translation forthcoming via Verso Books), she explores the historical gap between “defensible” and defenceless bodies, as well as the organised “disarmament” of the subjugated, which calls up the question of violence in every pursuit towards liberation. Along the way, she traces a genealogy of political self-defence from the stories of the Black Panthers to Rodney King to the Suffragettes. In the discourse series “On Violence”, she will publicly discuss her positions for the first time in Germany.
