About the Centre

Center Prospero
The Prospero Center pursues interdisciplinary researches on imagination and its conceptual, artistic, cultural and social productions. Concerned at the same time with the reflexivity and the performance of imagination, the Prospero Center invests the fields of humanities from speculative philosophy to the analysis of social and cultural productions, through philosophical anthropology, psychoanalysis, aesthetics, literary studies, theater studies and film studies. The works of the Prospero Center aim at understanding man’s practical self-constitution through scrutinizing the encroachments of body and speech, emotions and writing, language and image, desire and politics.
The Center includes four components:
- The Seminar: its purpose since September 2009 is: Make language-image
- The Research Group Castoriadis
- The Center for Arts and Performance (CAP)
- The Interdisciplinary Forum of Young Researchers (FIJEC).
