Lisbon - 4th International "Language, Communication, Culture" Conference - November 28 - 30, 2006

"The world we live in has been characterised as a modernity of risk, deeply shaken by an 'unholy trinity' of uncertainty, insecurity and unsafety. It is marked by precariousness, individualisation, wasted lives and corrosion of character. The transnational configurations and relations of power, with their ever-growing inequalities between rich and poor human beings and countries, make the phrase 'the West and the Rest' sound quaintly old-fashioned. Democratic rights, institutions and practices are being curtailed and dismantled, human lives are being made over as flexible, discardable tools for unregulated profit-seeking. The politics of fear replaces the politics of hope, the new capitalism appears bent on fulfilling the wildest dreams of the old capitalism."

Canberra, Australia - Art and Authenticity - Nov. 2-3, 2006

"Roland Barthes maintained that a text “is a tissue of quotations drawn from the innumerable centres of culture” and that “the writer can only imitate a gesture that is always anterior, never original”. Is the artist – whether writer, visual artist, or composer – only an amanuensis for his or her cultural predecessors? Indeed, has the “culture” that guides the artist’s hand become, as Baudrillard suggests, merely a simulacrum – a “truth which hides the fact that there is none”?
