#16F manifestaciones: Por el derecho a la vivienda. Contra el genocidio financiero!

Hoy continuamos caminando para defender y exigir el derecho a la vivienda, un derecho fundamental sistemáticamente vulnerado en nuestro país. Las Plataformas de Afectados por la Hipoteca denunciamos la situación dramática a la que se condena a vivir a miles de familias que no pueden pagar la hipoteca o el alquiler, que se ven desahuciadas o amenazadas de desahucio, víctimas de una estafa hipotecaria, de la vulneración extrema del derecho a la vivienda por parte de las entidades financieras, avaladas por los gobiernos de turno.

Art and Research: Shared methodologies. Politics and Translation

Conferencia: Biopolitics and Necropolitics in relation to the Lacanian four discourses (Marina Grzinic)

The question today that stays for art and theory, the social and the political is the question of the social bond and our place inside it. Are we capable of action, critical analysis, resistance, or better to say insurgency? If yes, how? What is the social bond that structures neoliberal global capitalism? How to talk about ideology, subjectivities, power and life, if it is said that we live today in the world of the post-ideology, post-politics conditions. The lecture will try to rethink these questions and as well confront two conceptualizations of mode of life, on one side the biopolitical and necropolitical and on the other the Lacanian four discourses, in order to answer to the main question of our capacity to react and moreover change these present conditions of capital over-exploitation and dispossession.

Demo: February 16th – We demand our rights!

We try to draw attention to this problem on an international scale. Each and every year, thousands of refugees die trying to flee to europe. The EU increased the budget of the anti-refugee border protection organisation Frontex tenfold – while savage austerity cuts in the member states are driving people to suicide by the thousands. On Februray 16th, we protest. In solidarity with the refugees in Austria and in the rest of the world. We make a stand against racism and right wing agitation with our international solidarity. Social problems can only be solved when we all have equal rights. Join the demonstration! Bring your family, friends and collegues! Equal rights for us all!

Research Training Module: Interview

Generally speaking, an interview is a method of questioning. Apart from journalism where the interview is an important tool for investigation as well as presentation of information, various forms of interview techniques are applied in science where interviews are traditionally used to collect data and to address particular research questions. Furthermore, interviews are steadily gaining popularity as a method of artistic expression and research.

The workshop gives an overview of the different uses of interview techniques and designs, depending on the particular contexts. The focus will be on the possible uses of the interview format within the art research context. Besides the theoretical overview, there will be practical/technical training along with presentations of examples. The participants are asked to bring along their own interviews or prepare relevant material that can be discussed and further developed within the workshop.
