Lecture | Deconstructing the Culture of Post-Truth Under Slobodan Milošević


This joint lecture will shed light on the work of Milica Mićić Dimovska, one of the first women writers in the Balkan literatures to promote a gender perspective in contemporary fiction of the 1980s and 1990s. An engaging storyteller, exceptional stylist, and sharp observer of social life, Mićić Dimovska is also the author of one of the most important novels about the era of Slobodan Milošević. She deconstructs the institutional, cultural and media mechanisms of mass self-deception of the part of the Serbian population that supported Milošević’s prolonged rule. She unmasks the closed system of destabilization of all possible grounds for safe judgment, which produced a situation in which post-truth was effectively introduced in public spaces. Lecturers: Jasmina Lukić, Professor, Department of Gender Studies, Central European University, Budapest, Hungary and Sibelan Forrester, Susan W. Lippincott Professor of Modern and Classical Languages and Russian at Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania.

Lecture | Egyptian vs Greek in Late Antique Egypt: The Struggle of Coptic for an Official Status


During the first three centuries of its history, Coptic, the final stage of the Egyptian language written with Greek letters, was only used for literary purposes and private correspondence but not for contracts between individuals, documents sent by individuals to the authorities, or internal administrative communication—areas in which the Greek language had a monopoly. This situation is unique in comparison with what is observed in other provinces of the Roman Empire and cannot be explained by a legal prohibition. With: Jean-Luc Fournet

Workshop | Intro Class: Medical Intuition - Addressing Health To Prevent Illness


There is often a correlation between one’s emotions and attitude and physical disease. A medical intuitive can identify imbalances and pre-clinical conditions in the human energy field (aka “aura”) that can, if not addressed, lead to illness. All of us have the potential to develop this skill. In this practical, hands-on class with a highly experienced clairvoyant that will include partner work, inner exploration, and a range of in-class and at-home exercises, we’ll learn how to tap into our intuition and connect to inner guides to help us “read” our energy field. We will focus on identifying potentially problematic unconscious issues and learn how to “journey” through our physical body, enter organs and locate blockages. Once we understand the correlation between our emotions and potential disease, we can take actions to change our energy and attitude and either avoid the development of illnesses or help address any existing health issues.

Lecture | Composer Hugues Dufourt and the Origins of Spectral Music


Marilyn Nonken considers the foundational principles of the spectral attitude, examining the contributions of composer Hugues Dufourt in relation to his training as a philosopher. To come to terms with the philosophical scope of spectral music is to appreciate Dufourt's contributions and engage with a line of inquiry that has placed him, paradoxically, at a conspicuous distance from the movement he crucially defined. Marilyn Nonken is an Associate Professor of Music and Director of Piano Studies at New York University’s Steinhardt School of Culture, Education and Human Development.
