Conference | The Pains of Language


The German tradition, in thought and poetry, offers a wide array of powerful reflections on pain: from Lessing’s Laokoon, via the heartaches of young Werther, Schopenhauer’s (and later Freud’s) declaration that all wanting stems from lack and suffering, Jean Paul’s poetic explorations of Weltschmerz and Nietzsche’s celebration of Dionysian Urschmerz, through to Ernst Jünger’s metaphysics of pain. This conference will explore the vast archive of aches and woes, and attempts to elucidate the intimate relation between pain and language. Probing the pain threshold of poetic utterance, we will open our conversation to other languages and literatures to show that wherever language “speaks,” as Heidegger says, it speaks of pain. Takes place April 15-16.
