Organised by Till Kadritzke, Michail Leivadiotis, Friederike Schäfer, and Sebastian Tränkle.

The Cluster's Jour Fixe is a recurring event by and for members of the Cluster and serves as a platform for internal dialogue and exchange on topics relevant to the various Research Areas.

For this first Jour Fixe in the new semester, we will have an exciting lecture performance: "(don't leave me) alone with my books" interrogates the relationship between solitude and writing beyond the clichés of the writer as a loner. Through an exploration of her own writing process, current EXC 2020 fellow Ana Rocío Jouli addresses the experience of loneliness and the desire for community in literary and academic work. "(don’t leave me) alone with my books" was originally presented in the context of the Open Lectures series #EinsamOderAllein at Humboldt-Universität Berlin.

Please note: the EXC 2020 Jour Fixe is only for Cluster members.
