Toni Cots and Marina Garcés - THE STRUGGLE WITH THOUGHT Politics is nowadays a semiotic battlefield in which we must conquer the words that have been removed from us. The actual form of censorship is not prohibition, but neutralization and disaffection. This is our crisis of words. In view of this expropriating logic reducing us to simple spectators of our own lives, we propose that the necessity to conquer the spaces of thought is a requirement for taking the world in our hands. Toni Cots is a choreographer, actor and general coordinator of L'ANIMAL A L'ESQUENA, a performing arts centre in Spain. For several years, he was a member of the Eugenio Barba theatre in Odin. Marina Garces, has a PhD in Philosophy from the University of Barcelona. She is a Professor of Philosophy at the University of Zaragoza (UZ) and Director of the Fundación Espai en Blanc. Since 2001, she has been the coordinator of the Espai en Blanc research project (www.espaienblanc.net), which, through practice, examines the possibilities and the potentiality of collective thinking. She wrote a book entitled “In the Prisons of the Possible” (Barcelona, 2002).
