Speakers
Franco ‘Bifo’ Berardi
Franco ‘Bifo’ Berardi is an Italian philosopher who played a central role in the movement of Autonomia in Italy. In 1975, he published A/traverso, an avant-grade magazine and also in 1976, established ‘Radio Alice’, the first free pirate radio station in Italy. He is considered to be a media theorist and activist transcending various media as he created ‘Recombinant’, a mailing list exploring social activism and new technology in 2000 and constructed ‘Orfeo TV’ in 2002 by organizing the ‘Telestreet’ movement against Berlusconi government. Berardi has been presenting critical theory on psychoanalysis, information technology, and capitalism since the 1990s. His books including, After the Future, The Uprising: On Poetry and Finance, Precarious Rhapsody and etc. are translated published in Korea.
Jinkyoung Lee
His original name is Taiho Park. When he published Social Structure Theory and the Methodology of Social Study and Science in 1987, his pen name Jinkyung Lee became more famous than his original name. He entered university when the ghosts of the citizens of Kwangju were still hovering in the air, which possessed and caused him to spend his university days in the street instead of classrooms. As a result, he became a Leninist, wanting to build an ‘organization of professional revolutionists.’ In 1990 and 91, thanks to the sudden collapse of socialism that struck upon the socialist in prison, he saw the abyss. Since then, he has been living, thinking and writing, in pursuit of the answers to the questions that faced him at the time. The questions began from his doubt about socialism and ‘modernity,’ developed into an exploration of the nature of a community, and is now transforming into a deep thinking about ontology. While Marxism and Modernity and The Birth of Modern Residential Space deals with the first questions, Communism expresses the critical transition from the exploration of the nature of a community to ontology. Writing Ontology of the Rebellious was his own effort to describe his ontological thinking. Marx, Foucault and Deleuze/Guatari provided important sources for his explorative mind. Their ideas, however, must have evolved into different forms mingled with his questions. Deleuze/Guatari’s Nomadism, which is a lecture note on A Thousand Plateaux, Marx in Capital beyond Capital and Marxism in the Future are the examples. Recently, he wrote A Philosophy Class for Life, which contains his belief in ‘ethics of beyond’; Exceptional Classics, which is a collection of exceptional analysis of Korean classic literature; and Philosophizing Buddhism, which reinterprets Buddhist philosophy as modern philosophy. Now he is in a transitive phase from ‘the ontology of the existing’ toward ‘the ontology of existence,’ looking for his way again. As an effort to do so, he is preparing a book about Sijong Kim’s poetry and ideas. He is an active member of ‘Suyunomo 104,’ an intellectual community, and professor at Seoul National University of Science and Technology.

She also curated various exhibitions that dealt with an intersection between artistic scene and social scene such as Dream House, Monumental Journey, Catastrophology, and Dancers. Her most recent project is an exhibition called, Allegory, Objects, Art of Memory, National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea, which interpreted archive as ‘object’s allegory’.
