This event, part of the 'Tolia Curriculum' series, features scholar Julia Boog-Kaminski presenting her research on 'Der Kronos-Komplex: Das Kind und die Zeit' (The Kronos Complex: The Child and Time). Boog-Kaminski will examine the child as a potent figure in cultural fantasy, a focal point for desires, anxieties, and projections, using recurring narratives from Greek mythology to illustrate her points. She highlights the mythic genealogy from Uranus and Cronus to illustrate a 'pathology of temporal relation,' suggesting a resentment towards a future that will continue without us, particularly the time afforded to children. The lecture questions what this complex signifies in the present, exploring the possibility that the annihilation of offspring is central to human nature and the notion of lacking time. Dr. Julia Boog-Kaminski, Deputy Director of the IFK in Vienna, brings her expertise in cultural studies and philology to this topic, drawing from her ongoing habilitation project on the motif of child-devouring across literature and myth. The lecture will be conducted in German.
