Forensic Aesthetics: Lecture
Boris booths: History is a corpse
Thursday 13 January, 19 Clock, The lecture hall
reports on a case study in which a means of architectural visualisation are deployed to forensically analyse the historical process of desecularization. The method is highly rhetorical and can be directly translated into the liberal theory of secular state. One looks into history with a sort of forensic interest, as into a corpse that can provide useful information for the court proceedings.
