ArgumentContemporary developments in the increasingly intertwined fields of philosophy and performance call for a renewed inquiry into the question of repetition. With its unique critique of ideology arising from a synthesis of German Idealism and Lacanian psychoanalysis, the Ljubljana School (Dolar, Zupančič, Žižek et al.) continues to furnish important theorisations of repetition and performance as they pertain to subjectivity and the political. One of the primary aims of REPETITION/S will be to investigate and develop the usefulness of the Ljubljana School&#8217;s theorisations for the emerging field of Performance Philosophy.&#160;Ljubljana is a major centre of both philosophical and artistic practice, with a specific strength in theater and performance. Scheduled to coincide with the City Museum of Ljubljana&#8217;s art &#38; performance festival, the academic and artistic events constituting REPETITION/S will be co-hosted by the City Museum and the University of Ljubljana, with lectures, panels, workshops and performances taking place across a range of other venues in the city, including the Kino &#352;i&#353;ka Centre for Urban Culture.&#160; This is a polydisciplinary event bringing together a variety of scholars and artists.OrganisationGregor Moder, Bara Kolenc, Anna Street, Ben Hjorth,in partnership with the Aufhebung &#8211; International Hegelian Association,the Museum and Galleries of Ljubljana &#8211;
