We usually think of economics as limited to welfare issues. But can political economy shape bodies, behavior, culture, desire, and even sexuality? In this lecture, Keti Chukhrov compares libidinal and nonlibidinal forms of economics and discusses the impact of economics on the formation of collective desire and cultural horizons. These and other interesting issues will be discussed at the meeting.
