In response to the reflections developed in the framework of the research projects Decentralised Modernity(ies) and Fossil Aesthetics, this international conference asks about the role that cultural imaginaries have played in the shaping of neoliberal subjectivity during the period from 1979 to 2019.
Marked by key historical milestones such as the beginning of perestroika and the fall of the Berlin Wall, this chronological framework determines the effective implementation of the economic, cultural and political model that shapes our present. Although the historical origin of neoliberalism as an ideological project can be traced back several decades, it is from the end of the 1970s, after the experiment of the Chilean dictatorship and with the arrival of Margaret Thatcher to power, that its cultural hegemony began to take shape on a global level.
