is a theater scholar who has taught at the universities of Bochum, Düsseldorf, Stockholm and Vienna and was most recently affiliated as a Feodor Lynen research fellow at the Leibniz-Zentrum für Literatur- und Kulturforschung, Berlin. Having worked on a wide range of issues concerning theater as well as questions of literature and media theory, Sebastian Kirsch holds his PhD (Das Reale der Perspektive, Berlin: Theater der Zeit, 2013) and his habilitation (Chor-Denken. Sorge, Wahrheit, Technik, Paderborn: Fink, 2020) from the Ruhr-Universität Bochum. He also held research and fellowship positions at the universities of Vienna and Düsseldorf as well as at the New York University. Besides his academic work, Sebastian Kirsch worked as an editor and regular author for the German theater magazine Theater der Zeit (2007–2013) and has been cooperating as a dramaturg with directors and performers Johannes M. Schmit and Hans-Peter Litscher.
Critique is a form of thinking and acting. It is determined by its objects, yet never accesses them immediately but is always mediated through its own forms of (re)presentation. Since the end of the 18th century, there has been a dynamization and fluidization of the understanding of form, as topoi such as the break, the marginalization, the tearing and opening indicate. However, these multifarious attempts to “build on the structure through demolition” (Benjamin) testify to the dependence of all articulation on the forms of (re)presentation [“Darstellung”]. As a philosophical problem, the question of form arises in critical theory from Marx to Adorno. Since the 1960s, literary practices have proliferated which generate their critical statements less argumentatively than through the programmatic use of formal means. At the same time, the writing self, along with its attitudes, reflections, affects and instruments, visibly enters the critical scene—whereas the theatrical scene as a stage of critique has been contested intensively during the 20th century. This volume examines how the interdependence of critique, object, and form translates into critical stances, understood as learnable, reproducible gestures, which bear witness to changing conditions and media of critical practice.
