www.egs.edu Giorgio Agamben, contemporary philosopher, begins his 2011 summer seminar. Agamben discusses the difference between commandment and obedience, the Greek word arche (both origin and commandment), Martin Heidegger, Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault, and Franz Kafka.Public open lecture for the students and faculty of the European Graduate School EGS Media and Communication Studies department program Saas-Fee Switzerland. Giorgio Agamben is perhaps Italy's most famous contemporary philosopher; as a leading figure in both philosophy and radical political thought, he has been intimately connected, along with Antonio Negri and Paolo Virno to Italy's post-1968 leftist politics. During his tenure as professor at the Universita di Venizia, he has written widely on philosophy, politics, theology as well as radical critical theory—indeed, there is little in the world of critical theory that he has not at some point touched upon. Working in the wake of such thinkers as Michel Foucault and Jacques Derrida, as well as Martin Heidegger (with whom he studied with as a post-doctoral student) Agamben has become one the most influential thinkers of his generation, concerned primarily with the proper ethical and political task of thought. With over sixteen titles translated into English so far, Agamben's work covers fields as diverse as Biblical studies, cinema, classical and medieval literature, linguistics, juridic philosophy, as well as commentary on world politics, theories of ...

The discovery of a huge Celtic sanctuary on top of a hill in Switzerland allows the archaeologists to start a scientific investigation about the religious beliefs of our ancestors. The offerings, the human and animal sacrifices, the druids, the feasts, what do we know -- or think we know -- about the fabulous Celtic civilisation? To answer this question, the film confronts the scientific hypothesis with the popular representations and imagery. www.climage.ch La découverte d'un gigantesque sanctuaire celte sur une colline suisse permet aux archéologues de mener une enquête sur les croyances religieuses de nos ancêtres. Les offrandes, les banquets, les sacrifices - animaux et humains - les druides, que savons nous - ou croyons nous savoir - sur la fabuleuse civilisation des Celtes ? Pour tenter de répondre à cette question, le film confronte les représentations que se font les scientifiques avec l'imaginaire populaire en puisant dans une iconographie fantastique. www.climage.ch

Klaus Dona is Curator of Art Exhibitions of the Habsburg family in Austria. Mr. Dona organizes art exhibitions worldwide. As a specialist in culture and art exhibitions automatically called attention to a phenomenon called oo-parts. Archaeological pieces out of context or common logic, ie parts that should not exist in our current science. Klaus Dona has been investigating these types of parts for more than a decade, and after a long preparation decided to hold an exhibition of these pieces called "Unsolved Mysteries" (Unsolved Mysteries). Has brought together pieces that come from Roswell, New Mexico, through an intact skeleton of a chupacabra up bones of giants (Nephilim) something that nobody had ever gotten, because museums tend to keep them in the basement because it raised too many uncomfortable questions . Much of these pieces are scattered all over the world and in private collections secret. Klaus Dona able to gather more than 1700 pieces without logical explanation! The exhibition was a great success in Vienna and after exposure has been to Berlin, Seoul and Switzerland. When physical parts are irrefutable proof and difficult to dismiss. During their search of archeological artefacts without explanation, the answer is: we are not alone, and indeed, never were. www.unsolved-mysteries.info

Recent archaeological finds in Switzerland's former capital, Avenches, prove that that the city the Romans named Aventicum was much larger and more important than historians had supposed. Ancient artefacts are being uncovered every day in the colony that was once home to 20 thousand people. (swissinfo archive, Julie Hunt)
