 Andreas Siekmann "Revolving Door Capitalism"

“Age of disaster” is the term applied by cultural philosopher and activist
Lieven de Cauter to our disastrous age marked by dramatic conflicts,
growing inequality and the dissolution of final certainty. But where to
start rescuing when liaisons dangereuses are starting to get out of hand in
all spheres – in politics, in the economy and in society?
In global finance capitalism, the culture of collective sharing is being
marginalised, with egoism and destruction being the dominant driving forces
and desperation and melancholy the consequences for the individual.
“Melancholia”, according to the philosopher Giovanni Leghissa, is the final
consequence of the impossibility of articulating needs other than economic
ones and indeed of distinguishing between economy and politics at all.
What is wrong with the economy? The ratio economica as the sole, generally
accepted meaningful principle makes a utopian project of a society which
guarantees human rights and allows everyone to share equitably in social
profits. Countering such abstract speculations, the sociologist Erik Olin
Wright suggests provocative “Real Utopias” that seek to redesign social
institutions fundamentally and specifically: education for all, minimum
wages and truly democratic decision-making processes. The conference
“Liaisons dangereuses: Seeking emancipatory alternatives in trembling
times“, finally sets out to create a space for “community healing”, a
process of social justice that also allows wishes and hopes (Hector
Aristizábal). But on the other hand, phenomena such as colonialism and
racism are reappearing with great vehemence, phenomena which Alanna
Lockward is reconsidering in order to find alternative strategies of
resistance or exit.
Keeping up the momentum of last year’s “Truth is concrete", the 24/7
marathon camp on artistic strategies in politics and political strategies
in art, the conference 2013 is an attempt by steirischer herbst to set up
an international discourse platform for philosophical, artistic and
political exchange aimed at opening up new, unexplored spaces of thought
and action for the future to come.

The conference takes place in the setting of Ex-Zollamt, the festival
centre of steirischer herbst 2013. It is accompanied by the exhibition
"Liquid Assets. In the Aftermath of the Transformation of Capital"
(September 20 – December 1, 2013), curated by Katerina Gregos and Luigi
Fassi and hosted at the same venue.
