“Since it is sure of its ability to control the entire domain of the visible and the audible via the laws governing commercial circulation and democratic communication, Empire no longer censures anything.

We should become the pitiless censors of ourselves.” ArtDemocracyCensureModern ArtEmpireJouissanceTheses Author:Alain Badiou
