In critical border studies Europe is often compared to a border-zone, border-land, borderspace or even-border-scape. This lecture sets out from Balibar’s concepts of heterogeneity and ubiquity of borders today in order to explore Europe as a borderland, i.e. a zone of transition and mobility without territorial fixity. Lacan’s concept of “lituraterre” helps us to consider the making and unmaking Europian borders through the erratic movements of migrants.

COBISS.SI-ID: 45761069This lecture is an inquiry into the complex and paradoxical relationship between time and act as a condition of possibility for the constitution of a new subject. Its departure point is the assumption according to which, with the globalization of the capitalist discourse, something has radically changed in our relation to time. This change is detected both at the level of the destruction of experience of time insofar as time itself is turned into a merchandise as well as at the level of the “pathologies of time” that testify to a radically different way of living time. Drawing on Badiou’s and Lacan’s conception of act, the lecture examines different articulations of temporal modalities in psychoanalysis and philosophy.
