life and work
Marvin Chlada completed an apprenticeship as a typesetter and after completing his community service at the University of Duisburg-Essen studied social sciences with Dankwart Danckwerts , Hedda Herwig and Jochen Zimmer, among others . The focus of his scientific work is the analysis of everyday and popular culture as well as the theory and social history of utopian thinking. Chlada is a member of the Democracy Working Group at the Duisburg Institute for Linguistic and Social Research (DISS).
In addition to his work as an editor and author of non-fiction books, Chlada writes glosses, reports and essays. His literary, often satirical, texts are commonly assigned to pop literature .
The first text works based on the cut-up method date from the late 1980s. They flowed z. Partly in the lyrics of various band projects (e.g. The Love Cats ) or were presented as spoken word performances at concerts .
Chlada went on extensive reading tours with Gerd Dembowski and Johannes Grenzfurthner / Evelyn Fürlinger from monochrom, among others . In 2002, in collaboration with Marcus S. Kleiner and Stephan Maus , the radio play Discourse - End - Life (director: Leonhard Koppelmann ) was produced by WDR .
In 2014, Chlada celebrated its 25th stage anniversary as part of the event series "Pipelines - Live audio plays / audio theater" in the Harmonie pub in Duisburg-Ruhrort.
Reception and criticism
Utopian discourse
Marvin Chlada is considered to be the representative of an intentional concept of utopia in the tradition of Ernst Bloch and Karl Mannheim , which he tries to update and expand with recourse to post-structuralist approaches.
Chlada's dissolution of the concept of utopia is criticized by Peter R. Werder, among others. Chlada is "rather generous with utopia and utopian, without defining the terms precisely or clearly declaring them."
Richard Saage describes Chlada's “ postmodern ” diagnosis of the utopian as “fatal” because it does not open up an emancipatory alternative to the status quo: “Chlada is in the tradition of Bloch's intentional utopian concept. But it is just as clear that he synthesizes it with Foucault's postmodern heterotopia . So it seems significant that Chlada only devotes his attention to one single historical development: It is the 'change of epochs' from modernity to postmodernism. "
Pop discourse
The constellation “pure sound vs. pure sound” presented by Marvin Chlada and Marcus S. Kleiner in their book Klangmaschine (2001) under the slogan “Pop is dead”. Pop ”is characterized by Diedrich Diederichsen as a“ discourse-shattering ”and“ terminoclastic ”effort. Ultimately, however, such a juxtaposition is "similar to the early 1980s as the deconstructive furor."
Ulrike Wörner, Tilman Rau and Yves Noir acknowledge the sound machine as a “great cut-up view of contemporary pop culture.” Enno Stahl states, referring to the sequel Radio Derrida (2003): “As strong as Chlada / Kleiner's analyzes are on the descriptive level , one misses the synthesis a little. However, this is also the result of a conscious attitude of refusal, which deliberately eludes the 'old European' knowledge processes, theory or meaning formation. "
