Introducing the Black Forest School of Metamodernism
Beneath and beyond - toward trauma-informed metamodern ethical cult building
"Post Post what?
Pozt Poztmodern Angzt Dizorder. It iz quvite common. Ur zymptoms r quvite clazzic.
What are you talking about, Doc?
U r experienzink—or rather, continuouzly re-experienzink zhe Poztmodernizt Angzt ov zhe Labyrinth. …."
(Postpostmodern Angst Disorder - Metamodernist Poetry, M. H. Frost)
Black Forest Metamodernism’s uniqueness is to start with the natural underneath. What is the ground, the field of attention modernity and postmodernity grew from? On what soil do we stand and start to grow the future from? Rather than going in-between, after, or beyond, we go underneath. To make the invisible visible.
To dissolve the trauma of modernity means to ground, compost, and heal the postpostmodern angst disorder together collectively. To dissolve the trauma of modernity, we have to start with the most influential and controversial western philosopher, Martin Heidegger from Germany, and the most important Jewish-Hungarian poet after Auschwitz Paul Celan. The silence between them, the absence of dialogue is our entry point into the void of the labyrinth.
Together we embark on am experiential-artistic quest into the dark - into the Black Forest. As an endeavor, we will hear the haunting voice of Paul Clean trapped in Artificial Intelligence from the Book „Conversing with GTP Celan“ by Hedé van Dekker, discover what ethical Cult building according to Jamie Wheal is and why a jewish Hasidic perspective is needed to ground metamodernism.
