Fabulieren

"Fabulieren" addresses a rapid development in contemporary art and offers a philosophical interpretative approach. With an innovative concept of narrating fantastic stories that give voice to the past and the suppressed, Marc Rölli establishes a connection to feminist science fiction, new materialism, and decolonial critique in this book. Alongside the legendary fable teller Aesop, there is also a Socratic figure that turns against the canon: wandering in a tattered cloak as a cynic or skeptic; in comedy, satire, or essay, it finds a language outside traditional academic values. Its realism is magical and grotesque, its logic parasitic. It shifts the familiar relationships between reason and imagination. Through "Fabulieren," an earthly, embodied thinking develops in collectively imagined stories that narrate a belief in this world.
