The conference “Benjamin and Arendt on Displacement”, organized by Goethe-Institut Istanbul, will bring together researchers and academics tackling the issue of recognition encountered by displaced people from around the world. Arranged in three sessions, the program focuses on Walter Benjamin and Hannah Arendt, two seminal thinkers who dealt with the notion of violence through their own experience of displacement, and presents multiple perspectives on the subject in light of their works, which remain relevant in our present time.
This free-admission program is open to everyone. The first session will be held in English; the second and third sessions will be in Turkish.
