The present political moment is marked by the two global phenomena of neoliberalism and neo-nationalism, co-existing in a tension that sees both convergences and conflicts. There seems to be little room for the formulation of radical alternatives outside of these powerful forces as the liberal and progressive middles alike have lost their faces to financialization and austerity politics.
This closing discussion of transmediale 2019 focuses on new impetuses for transversal organization and political mobilisation, picking up on the thematic threads of the festival on affect and politics. The participants will present and discuss initiatives and practices, interlinking social, affective and technical capacities that articulate a politics of making society matter again.
