Alle Termine der Veranstaltung 'Ending Worlds. CAPAS Lecture Series 2022':

End time scenarios like the ongoing COVID-19 crisis or the flood disaster and heat waves due to anthropogenic climate change are just the most recent examples of experiences that act as apocalyptic catalysts and inspire apocalyptic thinking.

"Ending Worlds" is a joint lecture series of the Centre for Apocalyptic and Post-Apocalyptic Studies (CAPAS) and the project “Epochal Life Worlds: Man, Nature and Technology in Narratives of Crisis and Change” of the Joint Center for Advanced Studies “Worldmaking from a Global Perspective: A Dialogue with China”. It undertakes the task of exploring imaginaries and experiences of catastrophic and (post-)apocalyptic events from an interdisciplinary perspective. The summer semester of 2022 is dedicated to imaginaries and experiences of (post-)apocalyptic and catastrophic events with a special focus on Asia.

Both centres are advanced research centres which host internationally renowned fellows. With this format, the research at the centres is made accessible to all members of Heidelberg University and the interested public. Lectures are going to be held in English.

The respective current pandemic regulations apply. Due to the ongoing pandemic, the lectures will be streamed digitally as well.
