Ordinary Music. Music Suitable for the Anthropocene Wissenschaft & Kunst // Atelier, 1. OG, KunstQuartier // Bergstr. 12a, 5020 Salzburg What would a music sound like that would assign the human a place amongst his fellow species, a music, that would articulate and emphasize our social and environmental entangledness rather than lift us up and out of it all? What would a music sound like that reflected our own ordinariness as just one figure amongst many others? We have made an attempt at such a music. This lecture performance will present an original composition by Leo Feichtinger and Manfred Soraruf embedded in some considerations and provocations. Performance lecture with: Magdalena Bawart, Leo Feichtinger, Anne Kathrin Meyler, Friedlind Riedel, Manfred Soraruf, Luisa Zornemann. Response: Caitríona Ní Dhúill Organization and concept: Friedlind Riedel Picture credits: Friedlind Riedel 53 Seminarraum17:00 o’clock

Männerfantasien in antiken Kulturen Männerfantasien in antiken Kulturen Mit Griechenland und Rom verbindet man heute oft ausschweifende Feste, zu denen regelrechte Sexorgien gehörten. Das griechische Symposion und die kaiserzeitlichen Feste Roms regen beispielsweise die Filmindustrie an, solche Ausschweifungen in Szene zu setzen. Man muss sich allerdings kritisch fragen, ob die gezeigten Bilder und die aktuell verbreiteten Vorstellungen nicht mehr über heutige Fantasien aussagen als über die damaligen Zeitgenossen. Die antike Literatur wie auch bildliche Darstellungen bieten nämlich oft geradezu verstörende Szenen brutaler Sexualität, die vor allem die unbegrenzte Verfügungsgewalt der Männer über Frauenkörper spiegeln. Es stellt sich aktuell die Frage, wie man mit diesen im Sex manifestierten antiken Machtdiskursen umgehen kann und wie diese Form antiker Literatur zu bewerten ist. HS 23018:30 o’clock

Wunderkammer Sprache: unity behind diversity Studies of language are very diverse, employing a variety of tools, methodologies, and technologies, depending on what aspect of language one wishes to investigate. Theoretical linguistics, in particular generative linguistics, has as its main goal a theory of what it means to know a language, in other words, a theory of human cognition pertaining to language. In recent years, developments of artificial intelligence, specifically very large language models [vLLMs], have raised questions about the value of linguistic research in light of the impressive advances these models have made. One purpose of this talk is to highlight the importance, relevance, and vitality of generative linguistics. I lay out the goals and some of the major achievements of theoretical linguistics, and show that these are not comparable (neither in content nor in quality) to those of vLLMs. The main conclusions I put forward are that theoretical linguistics and vLLMs are not competitors in any sense, but operate side-by-side (with claims to the contrary often being fed by disinformation), and that a mutual engagement of these models with each other’s methods and results could lead to new findings and help both approaches develop further.E.004 U1.004 ( HS Anna Bahr-Mildenburg )18:30 o’clock
