  • In the Ghost Town / In der Geisterstadt
    2025/03/10

    Here is a short video that provides some illustrative footage for a documentary we have been planning about the carnival activities of Castiglion Fibocchi, a small town in southern Tuscany. Since the performance is based on a medieval event from the 11th century, its festival staging could be understood as the continuation of a local tradition. Because the performance is based on a medieval event from the 11th century, its festival staging could be understood as the continuation of a local tradition. On the other hand, the fact that this tradition was in the world of avatars, a kind of cosplay in baroque robes—shows how the traditions of the past can be blended into future community building.

    Hier ein kleines Video, das Anschauungsmaterial für eine Dokumentation liefert, die wir den Karnevalsaktivitäten einer kleinen Stadt in der südlichen Toskana widmen wollen, Castiglion Fibocchi. Weil das Ganze sich auf einen mittelalterlichen Anlass aus dem 11. Jahrhundert bezieht, könnte man die Inszenierung als Lokaltradition verstehen, andererseits mag der Umstand, dass diese Tradition im Jahr 1997 reaktiviert worden ist, ein Vorschein auf die Welt der Avatare und des Internets sein, eine Art Cosplay in barocken Gewändern.

  • Talking to ... John Aziz
    2025/02/09

    When the cognitive dissonances of our present-day made themselves felt in the aftermath of October 7th, the question of where and how the abysmal hatred leading to this pogrom originated has remained unanswered. This question drew our attention to John Aziz, a British-Palestinian journalist who passionately writes about the events in his father's homeland. His perspective is particularly interesting because he clearly sees the weight of this heritage as the dark shadow of a tragedy imposed on him, but even more on his relatives remaining in Palestine. Because, as a product of the English education system and, as a young musician, he also feels part of the digital world. And it’s in this sense that he personifies the global mission of a digital native who, as a peace activist, wants to share his view of Islam with a wider public.

    John Aziz is a musician active in the peace movement and digital economy. As a journalist, he has a Substack blog and has written for Quillette, Foreign Policy and Prospect. His music can be found on Soundcloud.

  • Talking to ... Mark Lilla
    2025/01/16

    If there's a great mystery in the history of ideas, it lies in where the blind spots of thought are encountered. However, this raises the question of precisely what conditions lead to such blind thinking. When Mark Lilla, a professor of humanities at Columbia University whose work has delved deeply into the history of political theology, prefaces his book Ignorance and Bliss with the motto of an English Writer: »The faintest of all human passions is the love of truth,« he's highlighting the underlying dilemma: that the love of truth pales in comparison to other passions. And because he’s somewhat surprised this fact has received comparatively little attention in the history of philosophy—with the exception of Nietzsche—in his latest book, Lilla turns to the psychology of the present-day obliviousness, characterizing various paradigms within which the will to ignorance has found expression. Looking around at our present, we're confronted with countless varieties of blissful ignorance, making our conversation with him all the more rewarding as an in-depth exploration of a terrain that's received little attention.

    After working as an editor at The Public Interest and holding professorships at New York University and the University of Chicago, Mark Lilla became a professor of humanities at Columbia University in 2007. He regularly writes for the New York Times and New York Review of Books, among many other publications.
