Upcoming Conference:

Angst in Symbolist Movement: Its Origins and Its Consequences
IN COLLABORATION WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF PARIS IV-SORBONNE
June 4 - 6, 2015 | Paris IV-Sorbonne, France

"Angst (Anxiety) could be defined as an indeterminate fear. Sören Kierkegaard in the book The Concept of Anxiety describes it as both a fear of existence and a « vertigo of freedom». Thus, a man who is standing at the top of a rock feels both a fear of falling down as well as a desire to jump down. These two contradictory desires which manifest themselves at the same time are at the origin of both a desire to withdraw from the world and a desire to act, to go toward the world..."

The purpose of the conference is to explore the origins of Symbolism, a variety of Symbolist manifestations in art, literature, music and philosophy, its consequences in art and literature, and to understand how ideas moved from one European country to another.
