As a Jew\, what she called totalitarianism affected her personally\, but her thinking is universal. T otalitarian states are the ultimate evil because in them\, human beings th emselves become unnecessary. This form of evil goes beyond human laws\, in deed beyond the human. That was her thinking in the late 1940s. But this w ould be to demonise evil\, when the only possibility\, for Arendt\, is to laugh at it in all its pitiableness.Since Malmö Art Academy's founding in 1995\, it has challenged traditional teaching methods by placing the stud io and the open work process at the centre\, characterised by feminist ped agogy and student self-determination through close reading. The teaching m ethod\, in which students read complex texts in groups with their peers an d professors\, has had a significant pedagogical effect\, creating a direc t connection between theory and practice within the group.Having a theoret ical foundation as an artist is extremely important for artistic practice\ , as context\, discourse\, and practice are intertwined in the creative pr ocess. Hannah Arendt's thinking is highly relevant today and has great sig nificance for how we understand the world. The seminar is supported by the Annika &\; Gabriel Urwitz' Foundation. \;In addition to seminars\, a publication will be produced with support from the Pia Ståhl Foundatio n.The seminar is lead by Gertrud Sandqvist\, Professor of Art Theory and t he History of Ideas\, and is part of celebrating Malmö Art Academy 30 yea rs.Photo: Fred Stein Archive/Getty Images\n\nMer information om händelsen : https://www.khm.lu.se/evenemang/30th-anniversary-seminar-reading-hannah- arendt-evil-totalitarianism-banality DTSTART;TZID=GMT:20251007T110000 DTEND;TZID=GMT:20251007T130000 LOCATION:Red Room\, Inter Arts Center\, Bergsgstan 29 (4th floor) END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
