Zamisel o interdisciplinarnem srečanju »Ornamenti, množice in vzniki urbanih kultur« je spodbudil izid slovenskega prevoda temeljnega dela s področja sociologije kulture Ornament množice (prevod Anja Naglič, spremna beseda Marko Jenko, Založba /*cf., 2021) Siegfrieda Kracauerja (1889–1966), ki sodi med najpomembnejše, najplodovitejše in najbolj kritične intelektualce svojega časa.

Kracauer je bil arhitekt, sociolog, filozof, novinar, esejist, urednik, pisatelj, kritik, eden prvih filmskih teoretikov in pionir sociologije kina. Širok spekter Kracauerjevega delovanja še vedno nagovarja teoretike in raziskovalce s področij sociologije, filozofije, sodobnega plesa, likovne umetnosti, arhitekture, založništva in filma, ki se bodo v Kinu Šiška srečali za skupno mizo in z občinstvom. Interdisciplinarni dogodek bomo sklenili s filmsko projekcijo celovečernega nemega dokumentarnega filma Wilhelma Pragerja Wege zu Kraft und Schöhnheit iz leta 1925.

Zamisel in izvedba: Založba /*cf. v sodelovanju s CoFestivalom, Nomad Dance Academy Slovenija in CUK Kino Šiška.

The idea of the interdisciplinary meeting »Ornaments, Masses and the Emergence of Urban Cultures« was stimulated by the publication of the Slovenian translation of the seminal work in the field of sociology of culture, The Mass Ornament (translation by Anja Naglič, accompanying text by Marko Jenko, Založba /*cf., 2021), written by Siegfried Kracauer (1889 – 1966), one of the most important, prolific and critical intellectuals of his time.

Kracauer was an architect, sociologist, philosopher, journalist, essayist, editor, writer, critic, one of the first film theorists and a pioneer of the sociology of cinema. The broad range of Kracauer’s work continues to appeal to theoreticians and researchers in the fields of sociology, philosophy, contemporary dance, visual arts, architecture, publishing and film, who will meet at Kino Šiška to discuss their work with the audience. We will conclude the interdisciplinary event with a film screening of Wilhelm Prager’s 1925 feature-length silent documentary Wege zu Kraft und Schöhnheit (Ways to Strength and Beauty).

Concept and execution: /*cf. publishing house in collaboration with CoFestival, Nomad Dance Academy Slovenia and Centre of Urban Culture Kino Šiška.
