Dealing with Fear: an Inside
and an Outside Perspective

Fear of unemployment, natural catastrophes, terror, and illness is interwoven with everyday life in today’s industrialized nations. Faith in the future, which inspired people after World War II, has been replaced with a diffuse fear of the future and change. What are the causes for this? Is fear the downside of the economic and military globalization process, an indication of its brutality and exclusivity? Do rulers stoke and exploit fear to keep societies in compliance with ideological pressure? How do insurers, investors and economists—the administrators of risk—react to fear? How do scientists deal with fear? How do artists, architects, musicians, filmmakers, and poets articulate this phenomenon? And how can this dynamic be analyzed and localized from a cultural and historic perspective?
As an initiative event, the three-day symposium Dealing with Fear: What Holds Societies Together took place October 18–20, 2007 at Akademie Schloss Solitude. On Thursday evening, the symposium was opened with the introducing lecture “Since When and Why Do We Fear the Future?” by Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht, Stanford University. On Friday, guest speakers focused on specific aspects of the central topic and discussed them with the current jurors. On the third day, fellows from various artistic and academic disciplines presented their work related to the question of dealing with fear, insecurity, and safety.
