*Tariq Ali „The Extreme Centre. A Warning“ A reading group*

TUE 28 3 2017 / 19:00 | ACADEMYSPACE, Herwarthstraße 3, 50672 Cologne

“Since political differences are minimal, power becomes an end in itself 
and a means to acquiring money and well-paid consultancies after leaving 
office. Today the symbiosis between power and money has almost 
everywhere reached unbelievable extremes. The cowed and docile 
politicians who work the system and reproduce themselves are what I 
label the ‘extreme centre’ of mainstream politics in Europe and North 
America.”

Tariq Ali, The Extreme Centre: A Warning

Recent studies have shown that our increasingly digitized lifestyles 
cause us to lose concentration after roughly eight seconds, which is 
shorter than the average attention span of the notoriously ill-focused 
goldfish. In order to fight this state of being the Academy is 
introducing a new (self-)educational initiative in the form of a reading 
group, founded with the goal of deepening and intensifying a discussion 
of the themes broached in the Academy’s program. The reading group meets 
one Tuesday a month at 19:00 at ACADEMYSPACE 
<https://www.facebook.com/academyspaceAdKdW/>, in the hospitable setting 
of our newly arranged entrance lounge. The first meeting prefaces 
Pluriversale VI by looking at Tariq Ali’s book The Extreme Centre, one 
of the inspirations for the symposium The Extreme Centre – Pluriversale 
VI

the same name in April.

During the meeting, moderated by the Academy’s curator Aneta Rostkowska, 
we will reflect on the diagnosis of the current situation provided in 
the book (chapter 1) as well as possible ways of transforming it 
(chapter 6).

During the subsequent meetings of the reading group we will ask if 
leftist populism is possible and explore the potential of critical 
education as well as alternative knowledge production (20 4 2017); 
analyze how contemporary artists reflect upon the rise of right-wing 
political parties in their works (23 5 2017); and trace how popular 
culture expresses antifascist political ideas (4 7 2017). The topic of 
the final meeting on 18 7 2017 will be determined by the participants.

Join us in a collective effort to stay focused in an informal and 
nonhierarchical environment!

“The need for discussion and its important function does not come from 
the desire or craving to push someone’s views on any matter (though it 
is true that many discussions are held for this reason), but from the 
limitations and imperfections of the creative and, in particular, 
cognitive powers of an individual.”
Roman Ingarden, A few words on a fruitful discussion, 1961
