JETTE BÜCHSENSCHÜTZ

Negative Feelings or Depression as a Metaphor

©

© Moritz Simons

In the scope of her Research Affiliation, Jette Büchsenschütz explores depression and ‘negative’ feelings as socio-political symptoms of our neoliberal and individualised society. The independent dance scene in particular is characterised by precarious conditions of employment, limited access to social security and expectations of being constantly flexible, creative and available.

What can be done to view anxiety and depression not so much as an individual deficit but rather an appropriate response, and to politicise them in the context of neoliberal working and living relationships? In various formats – a workshop, a poetic reading and a lecture performance – these so-called private feelings are transferred to a public-political level in order to discuss their causes, effects and forms of expression.
