What is it that makes us lick our lips? What pleases our ear? Why do colour, taste and smell have such an impact on our wellbeing? We as human beings have mastered the art of acknowledging our deepest motives. At the same time we want to tickle our senses and have the very best of everything. This edition of the lecture will explore the different aspects of this year’s theme Lust.
Studium Generale - Chair Kinsbergen invites a unique set of experts to shine their light on the subject. Sometimes innocent, sometimes dangerous, sometimes personal, sometimes universal. A psychiatrist, a biologist, a perfume specialist, a chef, a sommelier, a sexologist and others explain their view on the theme. If titles like Boundaries, Passion, Conflict, Trust were your past editions’ favorites, expect this year’s Lust to be no less engaging.
