We are sorry to announce that the main organizer of the lecture, the Faculty of Arts of the University of Ostrava, has cancelled the lecture.

A lecture by a British social critic. Presentation of the Czech translation of his book Ideology and the Virtual City (2019).

In Ideology and the Virtual City, Jon Bailes shows how computer games capture our coming to terms with the onset of capitalist modernity. Subtitled Video Games, Power Imaginations and Neoliberalism, the book analyzes four mainstream games and their way of processing everyday functioning in neoliberal capitalism.

In cooperation with the Faculty of Arts of the University of Ostrava,
