We give you utopia, he gives you negation. Eric Jarosinski, a philosopher on Twitter
An autumn day with summer-like temperatures. Philosophers, drunk. Poets, confused. Seasonally-conditioned disorders in a total mess. Eric Jarosinski. a self-professed fallen intellectual, known to tweeps as @NeinQuarterly, announced he would be visiting Ljubljana. A former professor of modern German literature, culture and critical theory, Eric Jarosinski has recently left academia to succumb to his alter ego completely. Nein Quarterly looks at culture, philosophy, art, politics and love through the lens of aphorism. In less than 140 characters.
@NeinQuarterly is a so-called Twitter Celebrity, having more than 120.000 followers from around the world (including Slavoj Žižek). He is a regular contributor to the German Die Zeit and the Dutch NRC Handelsblad. His twitter persona has been featured not only, but also in The New Yorker, The Paris Review, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, The Believer, The Chronicle of Higher Education, Der Spiegel, Neue Zürcher Zeitung, Wall Street Journal, Slate and others. His first book is aptly titled Nein. A Manifesto. He might bring a copy.
The event will be hosted by Matej Praprotnik @praprotnix, radio editor, journalist and researcher of digital media. The silence, if not uncomfortable, doesn’t count. So before you tweet or raise your hand to pose a question, count to three. Your tweets will appear on the Twitter wall, use #NeinManifesto
