May 19th and 20th
There is today a discourse that invites us to imagine a life, and a political and cultural practice, freed from the regulating shadow of increasingly weak nation-states. This road is full of danger and promises, as the work of cultural analysts, political theorists and social activists show. The participants on this conference tackle these issues in a variety of forms: through the discussion of specific social movements, such as the landless movement in Brazil, indigenous activism in Bolivia or popular participation in Venezuela; through an exploration of the changes in the regime of sovereignty and political subjection brought about by the reduction of social values to market values; through the construction of popular transnational answer to globalization; through the relevance of concepts (such as multitude and the popular) and authors (from Paolo Virno and Antonio Negri, to Alain Badiou and Ernesto Laclau) to the most urgent questions of our time.

Los Lunes al sol
(Mondays in the Sun)
A film by Fernando Leon de Aranoa with Javier Bardem as the
leading actor [In Spanish with English Subtitles]
Fernando León de Aranoa is a major director of the new Spanish
cinema. His films have a distinctive and unique orientation that
makes them stand out in the current European cinema as they
focus on the conflicts of ideologies, generations, and social
mores in a subtle and ironic but also imaginative and insightful
manner. Among his previous films are the very successful
Barrio and Familia, which have already been shown at UCI.
Mondays in the Sun, his latest film, received five Goya Awards
and it was the winner of the Concha de Oro Prize at the San
Sebastián Film Festival. It was also this year's official Spanish
entry for the Oscar for best foreign film.
Panel Discussion after the film: "The Post-Marxist Social
Aesthetics in Film"
