Činjenica je da kritičko razmišljanje i pisanje, ali i teoretska produkcija, sve manje podržavaju institucije znanja – univerziteti, instituti, škole… Treba je konstatovati: današnja društvena pedagogija se je prepustila duhu vremena koji zanemaruje potrebu da se emancipatorni potencijali i radikalne društvene…

Intersection: Biopower and Marketing

Here is one example of this fantastic work: http://bureaudetudes.org/files/2010/01/wordlgov2005.pdf
