Crises of Identity

Julia Kristeva meets Finn Skårderud to talk about the understanding of identity, the importance of the singular and what it means to be a contemporary human being.

Time: October 27, 16:00 - 17:00

Place: National Library of Norway 

Live streaming: This event will be broadcasted. 


Are we as individuals already created, or is continuous creation taking place? Is the individual a state or a process?

With technological innovations, transhumanism, and the way new technologies connect us, we have begun to change our behaviour. When Julia Kristeva places the individual and individuality in the centre of the political pact, a number of questions arise. Is the individual political? What role do ideals play in the construction of identity? What are these ideals? Is freedom a creative or a boundary-crossing practice?

 

Arr: National Library of Norway  og CAS/UiO.
