Thesis-Building: Architecture, Alchemy and the Constructive Moment(s) of a Doctoral Dissertation by Willem de Bruijn

“…By revisiting these moments, the paper traces the genesis of the author’s thesis on Architecture and Alchemy and explores the metaphor of construction encountered in the work of cultural theorist Walter Benjamin. Drawing on some of the historical sources of the thesis, in particular the emblem books of seventeenth-century alchemist Michael Maier (1568-1622), the paper argues that the above-named ‘moments’ in a PhD constitute an ensemble of impassioned investment, which can be known as the PhD-pathos. …”

La ville du futur et ses spectres. Le cas d’Eko Atlantic City à Lagos by Hervé Roquet

“…I analyze how this performativity comes to ‘haunt’ the present through technological systems that go beyond the representational regime, and I introduce the concept of ‘inverted spectrality’ to describe this phenomenon. Drawing on ethnographic and visual data from a co-production of immersive videos in Lagos with people who were displaced by the construction of Eko Atlantic City, this article discusses the possibility and usefulness of creating immersive memorial counter-apparatus to resist the erasure produced by the dominant narrative of the megaproject’s promoters.…”

« Breaking Down the Borders of Memory : The Transatlantic Politics of Metatheatre in Sarah Ruhl’s Passion Play » by Noelia Hernando-Real
