This double-event features the launch of Cherian George's (Hong Kong

Offense and its Threat to Democracy" (MIT Press) that shows how
right-wing movements in India, the USA and Indonesia incite hatred and
nationalism.
It also features a screening of short-films by the experimental

Celis Bueno (Westminster Institute for Advanced Studies) and Michael

contemporary changes of labour and the economy in society.
