(Un)knowledge Is Knowledge
Annual conference of Collaborative Research Center "Episteme in Motion" from June 27 to 29, 2019, in Palais of the Kulturbrauerei to focus on forms and dynamics of the negation of knowledge. No 181/2019 from Jun 17, 2019 This year's annual conference hosted by the Collaborative Research Center (CRC) "Episteme in Motion" at Freie Universität Berlin will address how knowledge arises or changes, where it experiences rejection, or cannot seem to prevail. The conference will take place from June 27 to 29, 2019, in the Palais of the Kulturbrauerei. It aims to explore the dynamics of the negation of knowledge in pre-modern times. The attendees will discuss to what extent such "negative knowledge transfers" are necessary, productive, or even constitutive for the production of new knowledge. The conference languages are English and German. There will be simultaneous translation for non-German speakers. The conference is public, and admission is free. Registration is required by June 22. Starting from the observation that episteme can be especially deemed to be in motion when knowledge remains imprecise, or is rejected, unrecognized, or suppressed in the very act of mediation, the 2019 Annual Conference focuses on the relationship between knowledge, transfer, and negation in European and non-European cultures of the premodern era. It is the seventh annual conference organizd by the CRC. A wide range of perspectives and approached will be discussed in plenary sessions and three workshops: How can the indescribable divine be caught between knowledge and unknowledge in the case of negative theology?
