Bowie Love: Lecture by Professor Alex Sharpe

Professor Alex Sharpe, School of Law, Warwick, will discuss love as agape, a love for humanity that can combat aversion to difference. It will explore how Bowie’s work embodies this love, drawing on the philosophies of Scheler, Badiou, and Nietzsche. The lecture will cover three love lessons from Bowie’s work: letting go, humility, and posthuman/queer love. It will also explain how Bowie subverted social norms and how his love is linked to freedom. Expect an audio-visual experience with Bowie’s music, images, and text.
