Worldwide, countless people go missing in the context of war, environmental disasters or migration. As long as their death has not been confirmed and their legal status has not been officially changed, they retain their full civil rights, and various legal texts set out obligations relating to searching for them and protecting their dignity. At the same time, their physical absence marks a state in between and a specific temporality. They have a profound impact on the communities to which they belong, which finds expression in a wide variety of rituals and performances dedicated to their remembrance, the longing for them and the mourning they inspire.
In this session, artist Janez Janša and political theorist James Martel will reflect on the status of missing bodies. They consider how these bodies might be viewed not only as those that cannot be found, have been lost or are presumed dead, but also as possessing a particular form of resistance and subversion; a radical capacity for action that can circumvent state and legal regulations and power relations.

Bodies of Law is curated by Sandra Noeth, with the support of Nevena Delić. The lectures featuring Banu Bargu and Arkadi Zaides are presented in collaboration with Critical Dance Studies at the Free University of Berlin.James Martel is a professor of Political Science at San Francisco State University. His research focuses on continental philosophy, anarchism, postcolonial theory and theories of gender and sexuality. He is the author of eight books, including “Anarchist Prophets: Disappointing Vision and the Power of Collective Sight” (2022), and “Unburied Bodies: Subversive Corpses and the Authority of the Dead” (2018).
Janez Janša is a contemporary artist whose performance, conceptual and interdisciplinary artworks explore the relationship between art and its social and political context. He was the director of Maska from 1998 to 2021 and the editor-in-chief of the performing arts journal Maska from 1999 to 2006. He is also a professor at HZT Berlin. In 2007, together with two other Slovenian artists, he changed his name to that of the conservative, four-time Prime Minister of Slovenia.
