Being unable to fit within the established frames of thought\, which most of us associate with philosophy\, Silicon Valley inhabitants are obviously disregardful of traditionally-minded intellectuals. \nHowever\, do they need epistemological frames? What stands beyond their amazing and frightful fecundity? \nAbout the speaker:\nHans Ulrich “Sepp” Gumbrecht \, Honorary Doctor of the Ilia State University\, is among the most influential literary and cultural theorists. Professor at Stanford University\, he specializes in literature and philosophical traditions of France\, Spain\, Germany and Portugal. Gumbrecht is the author of The Powers of Philology (2003)\, In 1926: Living on the Edge of Time (1998)\, In Praise of Athletic Beauty (2006)\, Vom Leben Und Sterben Der Grossen Romanisten: Karl Vossler\, Ernst Robert Curtius\, Leo Spitzer\, Erich Auerbach\, Werner Krauss\, Hanser (2002)\, Production of Presence: What Meaning Cannot Convey (2004) and many others that have been translated into different languages of the world. \n\nLanguage: English \nTime: 22 October 2018\, 18:00 \nVenue: Ligamus Book House\, Ilia State University (32 Ilia Chavchavadze Ave.) \nAttendance is free. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n[wpai_display_imported_files_here] URL:https://events.iliauni.edu.ge/event/public-lecture-from-professor-hans-ulrich-sepp-gumbrecht/ CATEGORIES:Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://events.iliauni.edu.ge/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/48810.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Dubai:20181023T140000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Dubai:20181023T140000 DTSTAMP:20260508T111447 CREATED:20181011T134035Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240202T093100Z UID:10001742-1540303200-1540303200@events.iliauni.edu.ge SUMMARY:Conference Democratic Republic of Georgia (1918-1921): In Search of Form and Content DESCRIPTION:On 23 and 24 October ISU will host a conference Democratic Republic of Georgia (1918-1921): In Search of Form and Content organized by the ISU Institute of Social and Cultural Studies. The conference aims to highlight the hitherto understudied themes and revisit the methodology and perspectives through which the Social-Democratic Movement and the First Republic have been studied so far. It seeks to identify the challenges and prospects of future research both in terms of empirical evidence and theoretical considerations. \nThe conference is planned within the frames of the annual project dedicated to the interdisciplinary study of fundamental political\, cultural\, economic and theoretical aspects related to the First Republic of Georgia beyond the previously dominant perspectives of historiography and politology. \nDate: 23-24 October \nVenue: Ilia State University (3/5 Kakutsa Cholokashvili Ave.\, Room E207) \nAttendance is free. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n[wpai_display_imported_files_here] URL:https://events.iliauni.edu.ge/event/conference-democratic-republic-of-georgia-1918-1921-in-search-of-form-and-content/ CATEGORIES:Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://events.iliauni.edu.ge/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/48768.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Dubai:20181023T180000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Dubai:20181023T180000 DTSTAMP:20260508T111447 CREATED:20181016T122848Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240202T093055Z UID:10001740-1540317600-1540317600@events.iliauni.edu.ge SUMMARY:Public Lectures Minimally Invasive Surgery DESCRIPTION:On 23 October 2018\, at 18:00\, Dr. William V. Braun and Dr. Konrad Karcz will deliver public lectures at ISU G106. \nWilliam V. Braun\, Fellow of the Royal Australian College of Surgeons\, will speak about Complications of Bariatric Procedures. \nEach method used in bariatric surgery has pros and cons. Dr. Braun will discuss bariatric surgery procedures and postoperative complications\, as well as improvements in psychological and nutritional status following the procedures. The speaker will review the Australian healthcare system and surgical training opportunities. \nW. Konrad Karcz\, Professor\, Dr. med. PHM\, Head of Minimally Invasive Surgery at Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich will deliver a lecture on Boundaries of Laparoscopic Oncosurgery. \nThe main objective of minimally invasive surgery is to reduce surgical traumas. Performed in 1987\, the first laparoscopic cholecistechtomy was a breakthrough in abdominal surgery. Reduction of surgical traumas improves the outcomes of surgical treatment. Advancements in imaging and robotic technologies have contributed to the development of laparoscopic and minimally invasive surgery\, significantly expanding the boundaries of endoscopic and laparoscopic treatment of benevolent diseases. Moreover\, minimally invasive surgery has become crucial in diagnosing and treating malignant diseases. Nevertheless\, many questions related to the scope\, potential and limitations of laparoscopic oncosurgery still remain to be addressed.  Professor Karcz will try to answer some of such questions in connection with two vital organs\, pancreas and liver. \n\nLanguage: English \nTime: 23 October\, 18:00\, Ilia State University (1 G.

The famed description of Tbilisi by Vakhushti in the 18th century does not describe any of these suburban gardens specifically\, only drawing attention to the extraordinary number of them. Tbilisi was in this sense a typical Persian city\, defined by a central opposition between city and suburban gardens\, contrasting models of spatial order that exist side by side. \nWhat kinds of gardens were there in and around Tbilisi? What kinds of heterotopias\, “other spaces” –spaces that announce themselves as mythic or real worlds apart from the ordinary– did they represent? What kinds of everyday practices\, of drinking and walking\, what urban genres of writing and song\, were associated with these different gardens? And how did they differ not only from the ordinary spaces – the streets and houses– of the city\, as well as from each other? Tbilisi is haunted by the after-images of these gardens. Today I want to talk about three such urban garden heterotopias: suburban walled royal gardens from the Safavid period of Sololaki\, which all were destroyed in 1795\, new Russian colonial gardens typified by Alexandrovski Garden\, and lastly\, Ortachala’s gardens\, the gardens of the poetry of Old Tbilisi. \nLanguage: English \nTime: 26 October\, 18:00 \nVenue: Room A101\, Ilia State University (32 Ilia Chavchavadze Ave.) \nAttendance is free. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n[wpai_display_imported_files_here] URL:https://events.iliauni.edu.ge/event/public-lecture-by-paul-manning-the-city-of-gardens-three-garden-heterotopias-of-old-tbilisi/ CATEGORIES:Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://events.iliauni.edu.ge/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/48828.png END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
