Johan Jacobs
Opening Lecture:
For almost five hundred days, the Brussels region — home to EU institutions — has been without a government.
Beyond its local context, the crisis reflects the broader contradictions of the 2020s: European remilitarisation, industrial decline, rightward electoral shifts, and downward budgetary pressure towards urban enclaves from EU institutions.
In this lecture, Anton Jäger, prominent theorist and historian, explores politics in Europe and left-wing strategies for this impasse, beyond the ‘hyperpolitical’ reflexes in vogue in recent years.
