SUMMARY:The Remains of the Real
DESCRIPTION:There was a moment in the 1990’s\, in the era of high postmod
 ernism\, when it seemed that social reality has had no stable foundations 
 and as such it can be freely and totally transformed by interventions in t
 he registers of symbols and images. Various social\, political and economi
 c developments of the last two decades – from 9/11 terrorist attacks to 
 the 2008 financial crisis to the recent populist uprisings on both sides o
 f the Atlantic – blatantly contradict that over-optimist conviction. A l
 ot has been said about what the populists get wrong\, what is\, however\, 
 more puzzling is that they seem to get some things right – as if people 
 had a sort of political blindsight or – to put it in more philosophical 
 terms – as if there was some kind of basic social and political unconcea
 ledness/disclosure (alētheia) where the truth shines through the curtain 
 of lies. Jan Sowa is an Associate Professor at the Academy of Fine Arts\, 
 Warsaw. From January to June 2020 he is a Visiting Fellow at the IWM.
