LMU IDK Mimesis episodes
- The Structure of Scientific Imitations: Hoaxes as Subversive MimesisTaking a meta-perspective on academic trends and publishing, this paper shows that hoaxes of scholarly and scientific research often rely on a somewhat problematic distinction between good and bad mimesis.25 min
- The Blood of the Animal: Metaphor, Mimesis, and the Origin of PoetryThis paper investigates the problematic relationship between humans and animals in the early twentieth-century crisis of language (Sprachkrise) as well as the merging between both in the act of sacrifice.47 min
- Mocking Mimesis: Robinson's Parrot and the Rise of the Modern NovelThis paper examines the blurring of boundaries between animal and human mimesis in Daniel Defoe’s "Robinson Crusoe" and argues that it is the seemingly mechanic voice of the parrot that enables Robinson to become the subject of the modern novel.43 min
- Ubiquitous Signs: The Rudiments of Physiognomy in ArtThis paper addresses the tendency to recognize human and animal faces in art as well as in design, featuring examples such as Daumier's caricatures, Lebrun’s physiognomy, Emoticons and car design.46 min
- Animal Mimesis: Between Art and ScienceThis papers analyses the diverse theories of animal mimicry that spread around 1900 and argues that these theories should be considered not so much as a step in the development of Darwinism, but as part of the history of media and as being engaged in the search for the ‘perfect medium’ in this period.37 min
- IntroductionThis paper introduces the conference subject from an interdisciplinary perspective. Manuel Mühlbacher gives an overview of the question ranging from Aristoteles’ thesis that human mimesis involves understanding to echoes of the same line of argument in eighteenth-century philosophy. Katerina Krčal traces the shift of the perspective in the human-animal divide since Darwin’s theory of evolution. Antonio Chemotti shifts the focus to the question of animal mimesis in music from the Middle Ages and discusses the role animals play in origin myths of music.32 min

- The Red Peter Principle: Jewish Mimetics?This paper focuses on the anti-Semitic bestialization of ‘the Jew’ in the nineteenth and at beginning of the twentieth century and presents a reading of Kafka’s "A Report to an Academy" as a subversion of stereotypes that identify Jews with animals, in particular with apes.42 min

About LMU IDK Mimesis
From the publisher's feed
Das IDK MIMESIS bietet eine innovative Forschungsstruktur, um theoretische Perspektiven, historische Dynamiken und transdisziplinäre Schnittstellen der Literatur und der Künste zu untersuchen. Es…
zielt auf Kooperationsfelder für Promotionsprojekte aus den Literatur-, Theater-, Film-, Musik- und Medienwissenschaften sowie aus der Kunstgeschichte, denen es ein Forum zur Verfügung stellt, um Forschungsvorhaben aus all diesen Fächern gegenüber den jeweils anderen Fächern zu öffnen und ins Verhältnis setzen zu können. Das gemeinsame Forschungsprogramm folgt dem Schlüsselbegriff Mimesis, der seit den Anfängen der Reflexionsgeschichte aller Künste Grundfragen ihrer Geltung, Wirkung, Möglichkeiten, Strategien sowie Machtansprüche stellt und auch in aktuellen Theoriedebatten neue Relevanz gewinnt.
