Feher is a philosopher and cultural theorist, founder of Zone Books in
New York and president of Cette France-là in Paris. He is the author of
'Powerless by Design: The Age of the International Community' and
co-edited 'Nongovernmental Politics' in 2007 with Gaëlle Krikorian and
Yates McKee. Based on his analysis and critique of dominant
neoliberalism, in his lectures Michel Feher suggests a radical strategy
for activists: to counteract the hegemony of investors by embracing the
tactics of the financial market. In other words, to use speculation
against the values of the financial market on its own turf and with its
own weapons, in what he calls 'investee activism'.<br><br>Michel Feher
talks about the neoliberal project and its repercussions on education
and culture. Feher also explores the importance of language, both in its
liberal roots and in the changes that it has undergone in recent years
as a result of the economization of politics. Lastly, he explains the
role of new technologies in the social and political paradigm shift, and
how they have reformulated our conception of the public sphere.<br><br><b>Timeline</b><br>01:25 The structure of the neoliberal project<br>06:33 The semantics of neoliberalism<br>11:26 The economization of social life<br>20:38 Cultural institutions and the promise of profitability<br>26:31 Social networks and credit-based individuals<br>29:26 What “public” means<br>Information and normalization<br>37:02 The Neoliberal condition and its challenges<br><br><br></span></div><span style="font-family:georgia,serif"><a href="http://rwm.macba.cat/">Enjoy!</a><br></span></div>
