Povzetek predavanj v angleščini:

The Performance of Police and the Theater of Protest: From Japan 1968 to Black Lives Matter
Backlash to the Black Lives Matter movement of 2020 often characterized the protests as merely “performative” and “theatrical.” Marotti’s
presentation draws upon his historical work on 1968 protest and performance in Japan to offer a counterargument: confrontations on
the street involve an irreducible performance. Considering a history of police-protest struggles, Marotti finds two contending performances:
activist challenges to normalized understandings and practices, pitted against a police defense of norms and of state legitimacy,
including that of the use of force. 

Seized by Art: Grasping Untimely Art and Politics in the 1960s with Nakajima Yoshio
The Japanese artist from Sweden, Yoshio Nakajima, has been pivotal for movements in art and politics in the 1960s from Japan to Europe—
yet remained overlooked by nation-focused art histories. Nakajima’s chanting, free-form, often collaborative public performances
across Europe played a role in jump-starting spaces of possibility, from Tokyo to Ubbeboda, from Spui square and the Dutch Provos to Antwerp
and Sweden. Nakajima’s work allowed others to see and experience the world differently, or in his words, “art is the next possibility.” In this lecture Marotti considers Nakajima and the relations of art, politics, and violence in the 1960s.
