wine writing
- the intoxication of poetry, the poetry of intoxication
writing and drinking class in vienna
4, 5 and 7 may, class presentation on 8 may 2015
to newly interrogate an ancient cultural-historical subject: how to productively use the psychotropic matter alcohol for writing? the class will be “equipped” with high-quality red wines from the burgenland by the globally recognized winegrower franz weninger. the first aim could be a new (radical?) type of “wine review”, beyond all flowery, savoury criteria. second aim: a poetry of intoxication after the great greek essay writer kostis papajorgis who recommended “pushing the boundaries of aesthetics” as an antidote to the “discourse of wasted reason”. in this context it can only be advantageous if a likewise romantic as well as critical spirit like ernst molden watches didactically over the ratio between control and its loss.
