HALL: Arkadenhof

Proponent: Böhler A.

Speaker: Granzer S.V., Jägle E., Müller C.

On July 10th and 11th, two Workshops "Narratives of the Heart #1" and "Narratives of the
Heart #2" will take place in the Heart Lab Tower in the middle of the Arkadenhof of the
University of Vienna. The two workshops invite participants of the conference to exchange
everyday narratives of the *heart* with researchers engaged in the research project "Cross-
cultural Research on the Significand of the Heart in Artistic Research, Performance
Philosophy" and in South-Asian religious contexts. In these two workshops the Heart Lab
Tower will become a living interface between academic research on the heart and everyday
narratives about one's *heart*. Some members of our "core Artistic Research Ensemble"
(cARE) will moderate the discussions with you in the Heart Lab Tower along the following
guiding questions: How do you use the word *heart* conceptually in philosophical contexts,
for instance in academic texts, talks and lectures? And how do you use it in everyday
narratives? Do you differentiate between both perspectives? And if, how are they related?
You are welcome!
