ABOUT THE EVENTS

1. A FIGURE FOR EUROPE?
Saturday 19 May
As Europe's common economic apparatus continues to establish itself, 
many questions concerning European cultural identity need to be 
addressed. Is there a European symbolic, a European imaginary? In 
what ways are the categories of 'the European mind' fissured? Does 
Europe have an 'imagined community', or must we move beyond this 
notion? This one-day conference brings together cultural theorists 
and filmmakers to consider how, if at all, contemporary Europe might 
be figured in theory, politics and cinema.

2. CAPITAL SEMINAR 2: ECONOMY
Sunday 20 May
Capital <http://www.tate.org.uk/modern/exhibitions/capital.htm> is a 
collaborative project for Tate Modern by artists, Neil Cummings and 
Marysia Lewandowska. It unfolds as a series of encounters between two 
iconic institutions, Tate and the Bank of England, and the economies 
they animate. The project includes a series of seminars. The second 
seminar looks at the concept of economy. The financial economy is 
taken to be the most real thing we have. It is often seen as the 
measure and test of reality: 'it's the economy, stupid'. But what of 
symbolic economies?

Speakers: Jean Joseph Goux (French Studies, Rice University, USA); 
Scott Wilson (Institute for Culture Research, Lancaster University).  
Chaired by Paul Hirst (Academic Director, London Consortium).
