This is how it appears when the gaze is directed&nbsp;from the outside in. However, if it is directed from the inside out, it is not the divorce that is thematized, but the boundaries that open up. What&nbsp;both views have in common is binarity, the neat separation of inside and outside, and an exclusion already inherent in this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But other things are not only conceivable, they are also possible. The&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/pastoraltheologie.org\/veranstaltungen\/jubilaeumskongress-2024\/%20(%C3%B6ffnet%20in%20neuem%20Tab)\">jubilee process of pastoral theology<\/a>&nbsp;in Berlin in September 2024&nbsp;addressed precisely these possibilities and their implementation in practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Dazwischen \u2013Fraktalwerk Werkstattschau auf dem Pastorale Kongress 2024\" width=\"747\" height=\"420\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WLRVqNgeWRU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Tertium datur<\/mark><br>\u201cIn-between\u201d does not only address divisive issues. Sitting between all the chairs also means being able to make connections &#8211; being in the\u00a0middle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are right in the middle\u201d &#8211; this is how Tom Sojer begins his reflection on the evening event at the congress. \u201cWe\u201d are all the participants of&nbsp;the congress who decided to take up the challenge of the meeting of pastoral theology and art with curiosity. As interested spectators in the&nbsp;first part &#8211; as participants in the second.<br>Between art and non-art, together with artists and non-artists &#8211; doing your own thing and doing things together:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/fraktalwerk.de\/en\/projekte\">that is the way Fraktalwerk&nbsp;works<\/a>. Spectators are never \u2018just\u2019 spectators. By looking, they participate in the processes that take place before their eyes and ears.&nbsp;Watching and listening are (in the best case) not passive processes, they require an active involvement in what is happening. This&nbsp;distinguishes being there from just being there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Suddenly the congress participants find themselves in between &#8211; between their congress on pastoral theology and the art of the fractal work.&nbsp;As intense as the discussions were during the congress, they have now left their comfort zone of theory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Embracing the opportunity<\/mark><br>At the end of the first part, they are even asked to go one step further. Into the part of the room that lay unplayed behind their backs for an\u00a0hour. To participate with their bodies and all their senses in the exploration of another intermediate space: the one between two people\u00a0moving together &#8211; and the one between the couples moving with and among each other. If possible, without stepping on each other&#8217;s toes.\u00a0Sensing this in-between space, bridging it with arms and touching hands, in joyful togetherness &#8211; this also thematises the in-between as well\u00a0as the in-between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With each step, the participants not only enter a different space &#8211; they also step into a different time. Stepping out of the chronology of the&nbsp;congress, they can seize the opportunity &#8211; in a different presence. End open.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018We are right in the middle of it\u2019 &#8211; this is how Tom Sojer begins his reflection on the Fraktalwerk evening event at the anniversary congress of pastoral theology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":4395,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[96,98],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4401","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-editorial-en","category-retrospectives-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/entangelments.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4401","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/entangelments.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/entangelments.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/entangelments.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/entangelments.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4401"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/entangelments.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4401\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4406,"href":"https:\/\/entangelments.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4401\/revisions\/4406"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/entangelments.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4395"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/entangelments.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4401"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/entangelments.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4401"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/entangelments.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4401"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
