Siegfried Unseld Lecture: Oswald Eggers fascinating view of language

On June 19, 2025, the seventh Siegfried Unseld will take place at the Free University of Berlin, in which the important author Oswald Egger will deal with the topic of "sums of state". The event begins at 6:30 p.m. (admission from 6:00 p.m.) in the lecture hall 1b of the Rostlaube, Habelschwerdter Allee 45, Berlin-Dahlem. Admission is free, but a registration is required by June 16, 2025 to take part in the event. The lecture is a cooperation between the Dahlem Humanities Center (DHC) and Suhrkamp Verlag, which has promoted many well -known writers in recent years.

Oswald Egger, born in Lana/South Tyrol in 1963, is considered one of the outstanding writers of his generation. He studied German and philosophy and his works were translated into numerous languages. Egger has been awarded multiple awards, most recently he received the Georg Büchner Prize 2024 and the Ernst Jandl Prize 2019. Since 2011 he has been teaching as a professor of language and shape at the Muthesius University of Applied Sciences in Kiel and works in a creative environment at the Hombroich rocket station.

topic and focus

In his lecture, Egger will explore the transitions between thinking, language and perception. He emphasizes the poetic-philosophical dimension of his work, which includes both movement and self-reflection. These approaches that describe thinking as something unfortunate and self -supervision reflects a separate world of form that oscillates between the formula and the form. In his presentation, he addresses non -opposite, interlocking worlds that not only includes words but also forms without words, and discusses the central question of the question itself.

The event is opened by greetings from Prof. Dr. Günter M. Ziegler, the President of the Free University of Berlin, and Dr. Jonathan Landgrebe, the publisher of the Suhrkamp Verlag. The introduction to the topic is made by Prof. Dr. Jutta Müller-Tamm, an expertized scientist at the Institute for German and Dutch Philology at the Free University. This networking of science and literature is a central goal of this lecture series, which invites every two years of writers who are closely connected to Suhrkamp Verlag.

meaning of the event

The Siegfried Unseld lecture sees itself as a platform to promote the dialogue between literature, media and humanities. The exchange of ideas and perspectives on the aesthetic and social challenges of today is of particular importance. In this context, events like this play an important role in the link between theoretical approaches of literary studies and practical questions of contemporary literature.

In addition to the lecture, Egger plans to conduct a workshop discussion, which offers the participants the opportunity to gain deeper insights into his mindset and creative processes. All in all, the event promises not only literary, but also philosophically enriching.

For those interested, Freie Universität Berlin offers an excellent opportunity to deal with one of the most influential thinkers and writers of our time. Registration by June 16, 2025 is urgently needed to become part of this unique event.
