B.05 Guest lecturer at an institute/university
Lecture on conference "Sustainability and Contemporary Art", Central European University, Budapest (Hungary), 26 March 2009. Globalization is seen mostly as the cause of wars exported all over in the world from the First capitalist world. Though with such an interpretation we can not grasp other effects of globalization, for example on the fields of culture and education. The lecture main thesis is that globalization is not a process, named in many circumstances as the biopolitical “emancipation, development,” but that globalization is a reversible and conflictual event.

D.10 Educational activities
The collection of articles What, in fact, is radical? manages to present the problem of the radical as one of the most pertinent contemporary problems of society and of the social. The contemporary democratic dogma tries to avoid all sorts of extremisms and radicalisms, this in turn gives rise to new dangerous »fake« radicalisms. From this point of view the collection represents one of the most important recent reflections on politics of emancipation and constitutes therefore also the achivement of broadest social importance.
