Summary
The interdisciplinary conference seeks to rethink relationality today by exploring the novel concept of tangentiality in the arts, literature, music, and performance. Experts and young scholars will explore tangentiality with its implications of “merely touching” and “divergent, erratic”, which allows to focus on serendipitous contacts and being together-apart in an Anthropocene world.
