                        Cultural Work and Critique of Globalisation 
                        The notion of 'Transversality' traces new, ahierarchical 
                        practices of networking that have developed specific contours 
                        since Seattle, Gothenburg and Genoa in the heterogeneous 
                        lines of flaring up against economic globalisation. Apart 
                        from the transnational aspect in the formation of resistance 
                        it refers to the condition of transsectorial cooperation 
                        between artists, political activists, theorists, etc. 
                        TRANSVERSAL leads off with analysing functions of the 
                        cultural field in the context of the critique of globalisation. 
                        Within the framework of 3 panels the following aspects 
                        will be put up for discussion: the structural effects 
                        of the cultural industries and an allegedly globalised 
                        art field, cultural work in a local-transversal fashion 
                        as in the context of migration and contemporary transnational-transversal 
                        strategies between symbolic politics, media guerrilla 
                        or theatrical intervention.
