	Europe as Project, a Collection of Documents and Counter-Institution	Tue, 31.10.2023	Other	Ivan VejvodaPetar Bojanić		Europe as Project, a Collection of Documents and Counter-Institution Tue, 31.10.2023 Speakers: Ivan VejvodaPetar Bojanić Series: Other In the book In-Statuere. Figures of Institutional Building (Frankfurt am Main, Vittorio Klostermann, 2022), Peter Bojanić sets out to show how an institution is created or how an institution is institutionalized from a group conducting engaged acts. At the same time, these engaged acts are characterized by a projective mind; they hold critical potential and protocols of resistance that necessarily produce something new. A counter-institution (Europe, for example), for its part, is an institution that alters and deconstructs all other existing institutions. In the lecture, Bojanić focused especially on the conversion of violence (military action and massacres fall under “extreme” violence), into right, justice, and institutions. He is interested in whether the “institution of victory” and its various figures can truly transform violence into long-term stable peace. Read more
