Workshop organized by Prof. Dr. Carlos Spoerhase (LMU) and Prof. Dr. Juliane Vogel (Konstanz).
The sentence as a philosophical and literary form is currently experiencing a renaissance. But what makes the sentence so special as a small form? Can it indeed be considered as a “miniaturized form” that enables thinking on a small scale? The sentence reveals itself not only as a grammatical and syntactical unit, a vehicle for cognitive acts, a phenomenon of written media – shaped by punctuation – or a logical form, but also as a performative speech act in politics, theology, law, and administration, and thus as a carrier of rhetorical energeia.
Participants include: Rüdiger Campe (Yale), Christian Benne (Kopenhagen), Jeff Dolven (Princeton), Elisabetta Mengaldo (Padua), Winfried Menninghaus (Frankfurt a.M.), Christoph Möllers (HU Berlin), Glenn W. Most (Pisa/Chicago), Inka Mülder-Bach (LMU), Kathryn Murphy (Oxford), Gilles Philippe (Lausanne), Johanna Schumm (LMU), Antje Wessels (Leiden), Zhiyi Yang (Frankfurt a.M.).
The workshop is part of the CAS Research Focus “Scales”/”Maßstäbe”.
