with special quests:
05.10.2017, at 5:00 p.m. , philosopher Tadej Troha, who was talking about the defensive lines of common sense, and the lines of irreversibility drawn by reality itself.
6. 10. 2017, at 5:00 p.m., philosopher Robert Pfaller, who draw a line of demarcation that allows one to see what separates, under neoliberal conditions, emancipatory politics from its semblances.
18.10.2017, at 6:00 p.m. with special guest, philosopher Renata Salecl, who was thinking about the ways we do not see the line, or the ways we ignore it and
20.10.2017, at 6:00 p.m. with special guest, philosopher Pia Brezavšček, who was thinking about “the line of sense”.

 “Every line always knows how it came to be.
To generate or maintain a line there is always a preordained level of intersection justifying it; a partition, a cut through the world, mental or physical.
However, as the powerful ‘divine’ cuts have been exhausted, why don’t we go straight on to the simple challenging cuts begging to be made, ‘through the nose’ or ‘through the ear’?
As soon as we draw a line, we are compelled to create arguments – to ‘argue’,
And each of the lines we draw could be the very line which damns the world to end.”
