IKSK Seminar: Exploring Texts as Bodies, and Bodies as Texts

What happens when we treat texts as bodies and bodies as texts? In this new seminar format, we’ll explore how philosophical ideas take shape—literally—through movement, interaction, and discussion.

.Philosophy is never just abstract; it’s always situated in history, experience, and embodiment. Reading and engaging with texts can empower us by shifting our perspectives and expanding our ways of thinking. But ideas don’t just live in books—they live in us. This seminar invites you to step beyond the page and into an embodied, exploratory approach to knowledge

When?

Every last Monday of the month

What?

Each session focuses on a philosophical text, tackling themes such as sexual ethics, power and control, consent and communication, responsibility, the inevitability of being wrong, and trust in a sex-permissive culture. No prior reading is required. We’ll dive into key passages together, discuss their implications, and then—through movement and play—bring them to life in a way that’s both intellectually stimulating and physically engaging.

Das IKSK-Seminar ist ein zweisprachiger Raum. Alle Varianten von Deutsch und Englisch sind willkommen. Passives Verstehen beider Sprachen und aktives Sprachen einer Sprache reichen aus;
