Sociologist Mario Domínguez will offer this Friday, June 6, at 9 p.m. at the Castillo de San José the talk entitled "Citizenism and Post-Politics", integrated in the cycle Urban Resistances. Submissiveness and insolence in the contemporary city organized by the International Museum of Contemporary Art (MIAC) Castillo de San José, dependent on the Art, Culture and Tourism Centers of the Cabildo de Lanzarote.
The talk by the Madrid sociologist will provide "a new look at the contemporary city, this time from a more emotional perspective", the Cabildo reports in a press release. Directed by the anthropologist Manuel Delgado, -who will participate in the debate after Friday's conference-, "the cycle raises a dimension of the political around very diverse ideas of the city as something more than a set of roads and constructions, which addresses some of the variants of the rebellious and nonconformist dimension of the urban fact".
