Dimitrov looks at artworks by the artists Velimir Zernovski and Felix Gonzalez-Torres, the political protests in North Macedonia known as the Colourful Revolution, and the subcultural and punk scene in Ljubljana during the socialist 1980s.<\/p>\n<p>The central problem and the question of his research endeavour is: how can we imagine and enact the political as radical difference \u2013 signifying the groundless, contingent, abyssal, and disruptive moment \u2013 making im\/possible the very grounding of society, if we set the body as an agential, dynamic, transformative, excessive, and relational world, forming materiality, at the centre of our understanding of political ontology. In order to pursue this project, Dimitrov sets some of the core philosophers of the post-foundational philosophical canon such as Jean-Luc Nancy, Ernesto Laclau, Chantal Mouffe, and Jacques Ranci\u00e8re in critical dialogue with the trans-disciplinary scholarship of corporeal feminism, new materialisms, affect and body studies.<\/p>\n<p>The discussion with Slavcho Dimitrov will be moderated by Urban Belina.<\/p>\n<p>* This discussion will be held in English.<br \/>\nOrganised by: Kino \u0160i\u0161ka and NDA Slovenia in collaboration with En-Knap<\/p>\n<p><strong>Free entry<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Supported by:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4342\" src=\"http:\/\/cofestival.si\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/11\/Screenshot-2023-11-09-133440-300x116.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"111\" height=\"43\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cofestival.si\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/11\/Screenshot-2023-11-09-133440-300x116.png 300w, https:\/\/cofestival.si\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/11\/Screenshot-2023-11-09-133440.png 478w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 111px) 100vw, 111px\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4410\" src=\"http:\/\/cofestival.si\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/11\/EN-Co-Funded-by-the-EU_POS-modified-300x63.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"214\" height=\"45\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cofestival.si\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/11\/EN-Co-Funded-by-the-EU_POS-modified-300x63.png 300w, https:\/\/cofestival.si\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/11\/EN-Co-Funded-by-the-EU_POS-modified.png 712w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 214px) 100vw, 214px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Cover photo: \u017darko \u010culic","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sunday, 23 November at 7:00 p.m. book presentation \u0160panski borci, upper foyer Duration: 50 min.
