The international conference “Taking Sides“ (28.-30.6.2018) will explore different perspectives on dissent, while understanding practices, cultures and theories of resistance, dispute and opposition as inherently participative. The concept of side-taking will hence be investigated in different facets. Firstly, as assuming a position/opinion in opposition to another or even the affiliation with a cause or unpopular standpoint. Secondly, in a play on words, thinking about side-taking also includes the taking of sites as a manner of protest, occupation, appropriation or acquisition. Thirdly, taking a side implies an active decision, rather than a circumstantial factor, that involves subjects’ positions as well as their subjectification as such.

The programme  includes 4 keynotes and 4 interdisciplinary workshops, with participants from around the world.
We would be happy if you could join us for this event at Hedicke's Terracotta, Konstanz.
