Eva and the apple

In the organizer's words:

After a successful start, the discussion series EVA AND THE APPLE will enter its second round in the 2023/24 season. For this, Eva von Redecker, feminist philosopher and critical theorist, will again discuss current events and questions that have always been important with selected guests: Who are we and who could we become? What does "love" mean today? What is and/or remains "myth" - especially in times of seemingly unlimited technological possibilities? How do we define "progress" or are we even defined by it? Information about the upcoming dates can be found here.

Where else can you find that? And then you are stuck in love. One minute the solution to all problems, the next it's creating new ones: Misunderstandings, manipulation, exploitation and legal fees. Is the problem love itself, with its incorrigible excess? Or the form in which we try to banish it? Nowhere has love been so radically interrogated as in feminist philosophy. Would it be better without marriage or monogamy, without sexuality or gender roles? But how does one escape patriarchy from within? Are there resistant ways to desire and connect? Or can one at best hope for truce? Manon Garcia is one of France's most important intellectuals and a recent professor of political philosophy at Freie Universität Berlin. Her latest book, "The Conversation of the Sexes," has already won international awards and was published in German for the first time in October. In it, Garcia shows that a new understanding of consensus makes egalitarian and enthusiastic sexuality possible. In Cologne, she will discuss with Eva von Redecker what this means for love.
