Papers
Too Boring to Attract Critical Scholars: Remarks on Critical Administrative Law and European Integration
The paper suggests to extend neo-Gramscian, especially Poulantzian ideas of the state and its internationalisation to EU administrative law for to better understand and influence the hegemonic mechanisms dominating social power relations across EU Member States.
Creating a Gift-Theory Narrative for the Euro-Crisis
Many of the often divisive narratives that are visible throughout Europe clearly reflect this utilitarian perspective, focusing on costs and benefits and on payers and receivers. In my paper I am arguing that this focus is not only detrimental to European solidarity and to finding a sustainable solution to this crisis, but also that it is one of the underlying causes of the crisis through depleting social solidarity, the feeling of community and the place of values in our economy.
Irresponsibility for Justice: Towards a Conception of Meta-Responsibility
The purpose of this paper is twofold: I will first try to show that Young’s ideas are not entirely sound and then I will try to think them over through Frazer’s concept of meta-political injustice in order to formulate a concept of meta-responsibility.

Validity of Marx’s Economic Thoughts for XXI Century
This paper examines the validity of economic thoughts of Karl Marx for the present time. The Marx approach to business cycles and economic crisis is relevant today more than ever in the world economic history as well as his picture of the world in a new perspective.
Critical Theory in a Global(-izing) Context: The Relevance of Rosa Luxemburg
This paper argues that the insights of Rosa Luxemburg, though a century old, remain relevant to contemporary debates in critical theory circles.
Plural Subject: Art and Philosophy after the Crisis
The crisis is analysed as the positive value influencing the revolutionary movements all over the world – the Occupy Wall Street, Arab Spring, events in Greece, Turkey and other European countries, which have been influenced by the Crisis, which contributed to the essentional change of both mentality and the language (both verbal and visual).
“Colonized Masculinity” in 1960s Québec Cinema
This paper aims to challenge the model of masculinity that was constructed in the context of post-colonial thought in 1960s Québec culture. By extension, the aim of this essay is to address the consequences that this construction of gender has had up to date.
Viral Axes, Virtual Praxes: Towards an Object-Oriented Queer Politics of Resistance in Contemporary Art (1991-2012)
Thus, drawing on historical materialism, feminist and queer theory, object-oriented ontology, and affect studies, I aim to explicate the multivalent axes of virality in the art practices of Felix Gonzalez-Torres and Zach Blas that articulate an object-oriented queer politics of resistance in their works’ interactive receptions.
The Visual Trauma of Gender in Film& The Death of M(others): A Psychoanalytic Approach
My paper will focus on two films – Peter Sasdy’sHands of the Ripperand Tom McLoughlin’s thriller The Unsaid – in an effort to show how they represent (both thematically and stylistically) a revisitation and reworking of classical Freudian concepts such as trauma, the Oedipus complex, the death drive and primal scenes.
