About the event

Georges Didi-Huberman - Fireflies Conversations | Kunstenfestivaldesarts
EN
In 2009, French art historian and philosopher Georges Didi-Huberman wrote La survivance des lucioles. Pasolini thought at the end of his life that the fireflies had disappeared, but according to Didi-Huberman, they live on despite everything: in the face of power, hope and resistance still exist. Through his readings of Dante, Pasolini, Walter Benjamin, and others, he tries to understand these fragile lights and lets the fireflies light up in current examples of resistance. Their luminous presence contrasts with the artificial brilliance that once surrounded dictators and today radiates from every screen. A humble yet much needed signal of hope.

En 2009, l'historien d'art et philosophe français Georges Didi-Huberman a écrit La survivance des lucioles. Alors que Pasolini pensait, à la fin de sa vie, que les lucioles avaient disparu, Didi-Huberman a mis en avant comment elles survivent malgré tout : face au pouvoir, l’espoir et la résistance existent toujours. À travers ses lectures de Dante, Pasolini, Walter Benjamin et d'autres, il tente de comprendre ces lumières fragiles et met en lumière les lucioles dans les contextes actuels de résistance. Leur présence lumineuse contraste avec l’éclat artificiel qui entourait autrefois les dictateurs et qui rayonne aujourd'hui de chaque écran. Un signal d'espoir humble, mais nécessaire.

In 2009 schreef de Franse kunsthistoricus en filosoof Georges Didi-Huberman La survivance des lucioles. Pasolini dacht aan het eind van zijn leven dat de vuurvliegjes waren verdwenen, maar volgens Didi-Huberman leven ze ondanks alles voort: tegenover macht staan nog steeds hoop en verzet. Via een lezing van Dante, Pasolini, Walter Benjamin en anderen probeert hij deze broze lichtjes te begrijpen en laat hij de vuurvliegjes oplichten in actuele voorbeelden van verzet. Hun lichtende aanwezigheid staat tegenover de kunstmatige schittering die ooit dictators omringde en tegenwoordig van elk scherm afstraalt. Een bescheiden maar noodzakelijk signaal van hoop.
