Since then, the artists have presented their works as performances, exhibitions and a film documentary, and have continued with their investigation of “What’s in a name?”<br>Starting from this famous Shakespearian question, four eminent European philosophers – Austrian Robert Pfaller and Slovenians Mladen Dolar, Jela Krečič and Slavoj Žižek – confront the implications of the Janšas’ name change and its consequences in four essays. Ten years of artistic and real life activity, here illustrated by a photographic insert, presents an opportunity for them to discuss the symbolic power of the name, the ways it affects the subject and subjectivity, and how playing with names can lead to a radical critique of our late capitalist civilization.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>Marcela Okretič<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>Aksioma | Institute for Contemporary Art, Ljubljana<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>Jakopičeva 11, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>Aksioma | Project Space<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>Komenskega 18, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>gsm: + 386 – (0)41 – 250830<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>e-mail: <a href="mailto:marcela@aksioma.org">marcela@aksioma.org</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><a href="http://www.aksioma.org">www.aksioma.org</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></body></html>
