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.

Discussion and break
20:00 Film screening: Wege zu Kraft und Schönheit (dir. Wilhelm Prager, 1925), with an introduction and discussion
The idea for the interdisciplinary gathering Ornaments, Masses, and the Emergence of Urban Cultures was prompted by the publication of the Slovenian translation of the seminal work in cultural sociology The Mass Ornament by Siegfried Kracauer (1889–1966) (translated by Anja Naglič, afterword by Marko Jenko, */cf. Publishing House, 2021). Kracauer is considered one of the most important, prolific, and critically engaged intellectuals of his time.
Kracauer was an architect, sociologist, philosopher, journalist, essayist, editor, writer, critic, one of the earliest film theorists, and a pioneer of cinema sociology. The wide scope of his work continues to resonate with theorists and researchers from the fields of sociology, philosophy, contemporary dance, visual arts, architecture, publishing, and film. These practitioners gathered around a shared table at Kino Šiška, together with the audience. The interdisciplinary event concluded with a screening of Wilhelm Prager’s feature-length silent documentary film Wege zu Kraft und Schönheit (1925).
