podcast 2023
in the new sfd podcast, jürgen berlakovich talks to authors, artists and academics from the sfd's circle about literary, artistic, aesthetic and current social issues of our time. an open exchange of ideas takes place in all directions at regular intervals and usually in two-way conversations without time pressure. inspiring, pluralistic, heterogeneous and always in search of new perspectives and outlooks, our own marginal zones and absurdities of thought are used as a launching pad for literary and social field research discussions. the discussions revolve around our relationship between being and appearances, the state of our reality and the long outstanding and urgently needed possibilities of a transformation and redefinition of our existence.
