Neoliberalism, it has been argued, is the principal ideological power grid of the contemporary world. Since its theoretical formation in post-WWII economic circles and its first implementations in isolated national projects of economic reform in the 1970s, neoliberalism has been propagating to the point of today’s ubiquity on a global scale. But what precisely is this political ideology, and how do the countless processes of political, economic and social transformation subsumed under the catchword of neoliberalization manifest? What are its underlying assumptions and beliefs, its genealogy and its visions of subjectivity and society? In short, what is neoliberalism, and how does it operate? – The first two days of thinking together are dedicated to an autopsy of Neoliberal Reason with the aim of marking the point of departure for future imaginaries of living together. From market fundamentalism and financialization to privatization, debt policies and growth doctrine, these sessions will attempt to circumscribe and break down the versatile system of believes that dominates the economized sociopolitical climate of the present.
