Aesthetics and education: Rosa, Rancière, and the aesthetics of teaching
Join this event to hear Johannes Rytzler explore the aesthetic elements of teaching through Hartmut Rosa´s sociology of resonance and Jacques Rancière’s discussions on aesthetics, politics, and education.
While the aesthetics of resonance concerns the transformative relation between an individual subject and the world, the aesthetics of teaching concerns a specific public context in which such transformations are expected to take place.
In this seminar, Johannes will discuss how teaching contains existential, ethical, and educational dimensions that are not fully covered in the concept of resonance, something that will be the focus of the session.
This in-person event will be particularly useful for teachers and researchers who are interested in philosophy of education, especially the aesthetic elements of teaching.
