Event overview
From 3:00-5:00pm 26 November Oana Parvan will be screening this film , with a discussion, as part of InC's series on Resistance.
Revolution under ‘5 (Thawra Ghir Draj) by Ridha Tlili
Documentary, 2012, 75 min, Tunisia.
In 1987, Gilles Deleuze claims that ‘only the act of resistance resists death, either under the form of the work of art, or in the form of the human struggle. ’ In 2012 post-revolutionary Tunisia, the Ahl Al Kahf (literally ‘People of the Caves’) guerrilla collective reclaims the streets with its graffiti practices, in the attempt to build a heterogeneous resistance net against the reactionary drives of national and international politics, while pointing out to the unfinished struggle. Art is their only resistance tool.
Engaging in what they call an ‘anti-capitalistic artistic terrorism’, they animate the Tunisian suburbs with the portraits and quotes of Gilles Deleuze, Antonio Negri and Edward Said while restlessly reflecting on how the image can trigger resistance. And how artists can counter authority with tools such as street art, poetry and radio, struggling to protect their independence and survive in a highly repressive and precarious environment.
InC aims to foster an interdisciplinary interest and approach to Continental Philosophy, enhancing the study of the subject through engagement with a diverse range of research directions and initiatives, to allow the creation of a lasting platform of discussion in London and internationally. InC acts as a point of reference between different practitioners and research frameworks in order to establish a common and cooperative space of dialogue devoted to Continental Philosophy.
The group is formed of a diverse membership from across Goldsmiths’ Academic Departments, with events orgaised by representatives from Art, Cultural Studies, History, and Visual Cultures Departments. In the last three years the group has become the primary meeting point for philosophical discussion at Goldsmiths, holding more than 100 seminars, lectures, screenings and conversations.
Guest speakers have included Jean-Luc Nancy, Alain Badiou, Catherine Malabou, Ernesto Laclau, Bernard Stiegler, Gilbert Adair and Tom McCarthy. In the past year InC has established external working partnerships with the Institute of Contemporary Arts and Verso Books.
