Sergei Loznitsa’s Maidan (2014), run time 130 min
Introduction by Stefan Jonsson

One of the major efforts to capture the twentyfirst-century revolution in documentary cinema.

Official synopsis:
Maidan chronicles the civil uprising against the regime of president Yanukovych that took place in Kiev (Ukraine) in the winter of 2013/14. The film follows the progress of the revolution: from peaceful rallies, half a million strong, in the Maidan square, to the bloody street battles between protestors and riot police. Maidan is a portrait of an awakening nation, rediscovering its identity.

HANTVERK OCH SLÖJD FÖR EN FÖRÄNDERLIG VÄRLD
Frida Berntsson, universitetslektor i formgivning
Erik Sigurdson, gästlektor i slöjd
Material och verktyg har alltid spelat stor roll för vårt sociala liv. Material och verktyg har begränsat människor, inte minst genom arbetsdelning men har också kunnat vara vägen ut för den som vill förändra och förbättra sina levnadsvillkor. De styr oss mot specifika sysslor, samtidigt som de ger förutsättningar att förbättra våra livsvillkor. Material
och verktyg kan både låsa fast oss och befria oss.
Forskningsprojektet Ordinary embroidery visar hur användandet av textila förlagor bidrar till att likadana textilier framställs och hur upprepningen skapar vissa sociala mönster och identiteter. Projektet belyser också den konstruktiva hantverksgemenskap som pågått i århundraden, med särskilt fokus på broderi.
Hantverk har också använts för att bryta upp gemenskaper. Uppdelningen av trä- och syslöjd är ett exempel, där elever av tradition delats in efter kön. Här har materialen använts för att begränsa elevers utveckling av hantverkskunskap och framtidsmöjligheter. Vad innebär materialens och verktygens tudelade funktion för hantverkets, formgivningens och slöjdens nya roll i akademi och samhälle? Vilken position bör hantverket ha i en föränderlig värld?
Lifeworld and Science

Harald Wiltsche, professor of philosophy

As the world reels around the COVID-19 crisis and the challenges posed by climate change, there is an alarming realization that a significant fraction of the general public openly distrusts science and its findings.

The situation is paradoxical: Although it is rather clear that science and technology are humanity’s best bet to master the existential threats we are currently facing, public belief in the authority of science is waning. Instead of discussing the complex socio-economical mechanisms that are behind this worrying development, Harald Wiltsche will advance the thesis that the critical state of scientific culture is in part self-imposed and has to do with the still unresolved tensions between lifeworld and science.

Time: October 27, 15.30-17.00

Place: Room TEMCAS, Tema building, Campus Valla, Linköping.
