Lecture "Traditionalism as an Art of Internal Emigration"

Lecture "Traditionalism as an Art of Internal Emigration. The Canon of Contemplation: Books, Films, and Images that Hold Up the Sky"

Venue: Offline at the "Pechera Platona" (Plato's Cave) space and Online via Zoom. Lecture recording: available for participants. Language: Ukrainian. (If you only wish to receive the recording, please register via the "online participation" option.)

What remains for a person when the surrounding world transforms into profane chaos and flat horizontality? Traditionalism offers a time-tested recipe: the art of internal emigration. We are speaking here of traditionalism not as a political ideology or dry metaphysics, but as a sophisticated optic, a manifesto, and a lifestyle.

Over a cup of coffee, we will discuss how, in times of cultural chaos, one can build a personal coordinate system using books (the "right" ones and others), visual codes, and cinematic images capable of holding up the sky over Berlin... or, more accurately, over your own head.

In times of cultural crisis, taste and the intellectual canon become forms of radical rebellion. This lecture is an aesthetic map for the internal emigrant.

We will explore:

• How traditionalists thought in images, created their own myths, and structured the space around them.

• How to learn to watch films, read books, and perceive visual codes in a way that helps uncover the lost sacredness of being.

• The foundations of your own guide to intellectual escapism.

• How the "sacred" functions in a secular world (is it possible through art, film, or literature?).

• How to assemble a personal aesthetic ecosystem (what to read, where to go, and what to watch on a Friday evening to achieve catharsis).

After registration, you will be directed to a Telegram group chat containing all necessary information.
