Topics
24   January 
morning session 
first topic: Capital, Information and Difference
The problem of the proliferation of money and information is influencing the concept  of
sexual differentiation in the countries where the social issues of
equality and difference in the past fifty years were structured
differently than in the Western countries.

The question of art that is socially and politically engaged becomes a very delicate  issue
in the context where the art market does not exist and the financial
