Presentation by members of REC at the forthcoming conference “Deleuze and Activism” organized by The Centre for Critical and Cultural Theory in cooperation with Culture, Imagination and Practice Research Group, School of Social Sciences (Cardiff University)
12 – 13 November, 2009
Location: Cardiff University
Convened by Marcelo Svirsky, Cardiff University
The presentation seeks to examine the questions related to the critique of the ‘transformative nature of capital’ embedded in the institutions of governance operating mainly in the sphere of cultural production. The questions are: Is such a critique merely the postmodern apology of the crisis? Does such a critique also contain a certain emancipatory potential? What are the institutional forms that radically differ from those founded on contemporary capitalism?
The aim of radical politics should not only distract and subvert contemporary modes and institutions of governance but to invent new cognitive, conceptual and organizational tools that might empower new subjectivities and transversal alliances. Departing from the experience of Radical Education Collective we will examine the possibilities of radical pedagogy within and outside the art system, the processes of militant investigation as a way to open up new public spaces, and the transversality as a mode of interconnecting various practices with their theoretical framework.
