Saturday, November 29th, 16:00 \u2013 21:00<\/strong>
\nVisual Culture Research Center (44 Hlybochytska Street (1st floor), Kyiv)<\/em><\/p>\n

Visual Culture Research Center<\/strong> and Political Critique<\/strong> invite you to the workshop and lecture by a writer Boris Buden (Berlin), who will talk about the war and the collapse of Yugoslavia in the 1990s in the light of the current Ukrainian crisis.<\/p>\n

On the 29th of December, at 19:00 Boris Buden<\/strong> will deliver a lecture on topic \u201cEurope in Translation: The Limits of a Promise\u201d<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

\u201cTo fulfill the ideal of unity in its linguistic praxis, the European Union has developed a politics of translation that is based on the principle of equality among all its languages regardless of their cultural importance or size. Yet when it comes to its outer limits this politics turns into its opposite, creating inequalities and violently disrupting existing linguistic continuities. Where is the problem? In the concept of translation!\u201d<\/p>\n

Admission is free<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

On the 29th of November, at 16:00<\/strong> Boris Buden will also hold a workshop on topic \u201cSome parallels between the violent breakup of Yugoslavia and today\u2019s Ukrainian crisis\u201d<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

\u201cHistory never repeats but sometimes a comparison of two events separated by decades discloses remarkable similarities and continuities: falling apart of a society along cultural divides, mobilization of the past in current struggles, the promise of European integration, irreversibility of violent transformations, etc. What Giorgio Agamben argued about the dissolution of Yugoslavia seems to fully apply to what is taking place today in Ukraine: there will never be a return to normality and restoration of the old social contract. Instead, a violently created state of exception will turn into a permanent condition and even spread all over the globe\u201d.<\/p>\n
