Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaften luden zu interdisziplinärem Workshop

Unter dem Titel „Bewegungsfreiheit. Tanz und Literatur (1900-1950)“ befasst sich von 28. bis 29. November 2014 ein Workshop an der Uni Graz mit Fragen zum Verhältnis von Sprache und Körperbewegung, zu im Tanz verkörperten Identitäts-, Gender- und Emotionskonzepten sowie zu Wahrnehmung und medialer Vermittlung von Bewegung und Emotion. In diesem Zusammenhang werden aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven kulturelle, ästhetische und soziale Veränderungen zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts diskutiert.

„Die Veranstaltung soll die Begegnung von NachwuchswissenschafterInnen und KollegInnen fördern“, so Ao.Univ.-Prof. Dr. Susanne Knaller, Leiterin des Zentrums für Kulturwissenschaften der Uni Graz, das gemeinsam mit dem Forschungsbereich Allgemeine und Vergleichende Literaturwissenschaft zu diesem Workshop eingeladen hat. Dessen Thema ist auch ein inter- und transdisziplinärer Forschungsschwerpunkt des Zentrums.

Nach einer Einführung durch Dr. Rita Rieger startete der Workshop mit einer Performance von „Contact Improvisation“, einer Tanzform, bei der es um die Entdeckung von Bewegungsmöglichkeiten geht.

Das Vortragsprogramm eröffnete anschließend Prof. Inge Baxmann von der Universität Leipzig mit ihrem Vortrag „Bewegung, Rhythmus und labiles Gleichgewicht: Tanz und das Imaginäre der Gemeinschaft im frühen 20. Jahrhundert“.

Building biological bridges: Chemist discovers an ecological tool for the pharmaceutical industry

Building a relationship on a solid foundation is also important in chemistry. To produce medicines, disinfectants or plant protection products, stable bonds between carbon atoms must be formed. Conventional chemical methods rely on environmentally harmful reagents and solvents to carry out the desired reaction. This process also produces unusable by-products. Chemist Lilla Gal has discovered an enzyme that enables the same process to take place efficiently and sustainably. The results of her research were recently published in the prestigious journal Angewandte Chemie.

Diversity in nature and science: How we talk about plants and each other

Ginkgo, kiwi, hemp: they exist as male and female plants. Anyone who paid attention in biology class will confirm this. But is this categorisation, established by Carl von Linné almost 300 years ago, still valid today? An interdisciplinary team at the University of Graz is questioning these attributions and using this as a starting point to provide food for thought for gender-sensitive interaction between students, scientific and teaching staff.
