I find it amusing to morph something as humourless and self-important as “nihilism” into something self-ironic and ambivalent and, in this form, to harness it to my own projects. This mutant nihilism aims to be fluid, jolly, playful and gregarious and leaves behind the carceral Luna Park of the city to invent games about autonomy on the land.

We have failed to recognize the failures of our societies, of our own desires and wants, our dreams and hopes – manufactured elsewhere –, and that of the systems that structure our world. Although there have been numerous voices telling us that we are heading off a cliff, we did not heed their warnings, nor […]

Yes, you’ve probably heard them on TV, on the radio, or read about their pitiful cries on financial sites, in open letters addressed to government officials through social media sites.

Panait Mușoiu (1864-1944) lived for a while on an alleyway next to Văcărești Street. A sort of Thoreau from the slums of Bucharest, “Pious Panait” as his friends jokingly called him was one of the shabby Jewish neighbourhood’s most familiar faces. Some kind of an eccentric wiseman, the anarchist Mușoiu gained the admiration of those […]

Notice La langue française est une des langues de la naissance de l’anarchisme et de ses premières formulations. Pour la plupart des anarchistes roumains, elle a été vraiment la langue de „l’anarchie”. C’est justement par son intermédiaire que les idées anarchistes ont été découvertes, explorées et circulées au début en Roumanie. Les liens entre les […]

(Az eredeti cikk román nyelven készült és 2018. december 14-én jelent meg) Budapesten napok óta több ezer felháborodott diák és szakszervezeti tag tüntet azellen a törvénymódosítás ellen, amelyet a magyar miniszterelnök támogatott és, amelyet a parlament hagyott jóvá. A módosítás olyan jogokkal ruházza fel a munkaadókat, amelyeknek megfelelően a munkavállalókat akár évi 400 óra túlórázásra […]
