Introduction
This symposium tackles the new wave of cultural activism that has 
occurred through anti-populist or anti-globalist struggles. Most 
activisms today are either too cultural (and therefore become 
politically harmless) or, inversely, too political (and do not stand 
out against the bulk of socio-political actions). 
 
This symposium believes in the possibility of a form of activism that 
is both radically political and cultural. It moreover claims that the 
key to such a cultural activism lies in the strategy of 
over-identification. These claims wil be assessed through readings of 
activist works by Christoph Schlingensief, Michael Moore, Neue 
Slowenische Kunst and Santiago Sierra.
