Welcome to Ereignis Institute 2026: four two-day sessions of seminars and workshops with Alex Taek-Gwang Lee, Dror Pimentel, and a workshop with Andrew Jorn that will take you through the nuts-and-bolts of academic writing, presentation, and publishing.

This module consists of three courses – two seminars and one workshop – over three weekends in February, April, and June, and two days in August 2026.

Said about our events

An eyeopener as well as being a superb scholarly event. Consistently brilliant and opened up new perspectives on the themes analyzed, thus paving the way for new ideas and approaches.

Attendee at the 2023 Ereignis Conference

Excellent experience! Thanks a lot!

Attendee at the 2025 Ereignis Conference

These three courses together will equip you to handle questions of AI and the production of subjectivity, the Other in Sartre, Levinas, Derrida, Freud, and others, and to compose and prepare an academic essay for submission to a peer-reviewed journal. More information about the content provided on the course pages (see below).

This module has no specific requirements. It is useful to have an interest in the fields covered by the courses, and having some knowledge ahead of time can make the module more interesting.

This module is geared toward these audiences:

  • Advanced-level undergraduate, graduate, and post-graduate students with an interest in philosophy, psycho-analysis, or the arts.
  • Early-career researchers with a particular interest in one or more of the fields and inquiries covered by the courses.
  • Artists and professionals with an interest in the relevant topics.

You can find more detailed descriptions of course content on the course pages.

 

Seminars

The notion of the Other is a key concept in contemporary thought. As such, it is highly complex, at times even contradictory. The seminar aims to bring clarity to this topic, by outlining the key features of the figure of the Other as it is portrayed in phenomenology, psychanalysis and Marxism. As part of this endeavor, we will examine notions such as the Big Other, the Other and God, the Other and the Ego, and the Other and Ideology. Read more on the course page.

This seminar approaches artificial intelligence not as a model of cognition or a substitute for human thought, but as a machinic assemblage that reorganises desire, labour, and planetary forms of life. Rather than asking whether AI can “think,” I investigate how AI participates in the production of subjectivity: how it reconfigures perception, affects, attention, and the conditions of planetary co-existence.
