Summary: Public Lecture - When the Sun Goes Down – A Copernican Turn of Remembrance When the sun goes down, mythology surfaces in the rituals and anxieties of modern life – in beautiful sunsets no less than deepening shadows of despair. At night when the sun seems to travel below the earth, sleep, too, brings its tossing and turning as journey through strange continents of being. This talk addresses twilight, the witching hour when light transforms itself and the basis of the image, such that other worlds are possible.
