<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRomanPSMT","sans-serif"; color:black">This bi-weekly workshop series addresses graduate students (Ph.D. and M.A.) as well as interested undergraduate students from the College
of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences (CHASS) whose research projects and interests deal with questions of repetition and seriality. During the workshops we will examine philosophical approaches to repetition and difference (Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Deleuze,…),
psychoanalytic concepts of repetition (Freud, Lacan, trauma theory, fetishism,…), rituals and cultural techniques, serial arts, writing and repetition (not only since the age of technical reproduction) in light of critical scholarship on racial, sexual and
gender stereotypes, clichés and categories.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRomanPSMT","sans-serif"; color:black">Students are invited to present their own research projects and read and discuss theoretical texts together. In addition experts of the
field will be invited regularly. The workshop will start in </span><b><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT","sans-serif"; color:black">Winter 2013
</span></b><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRomanPSMT","sans-serif"; color:black">and is designed for
</span><b><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT","sans-serif"; color:black">one year</span></b><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRomanPSMT","sans-serif"; color:black">. The intention is to support the student’s research and ideally to organize a
graduate student’s conference in Spring 2014 as an outcome of the workshop.</span></p>
