The problem of meaning and the importance of freedom in the contemporary society, together with the problem of the relationship between social control, scrutiny and the individual wellbeing and freedom have received special significance today – the concept and the politics of democracy have been increasingly promoted as politics of “safe” and organized society, while “safe” society actually relates to the powerful hierarchy of social control, supervision and scrutiny which influence everyday life of each of us. At the same time, the neoliberal ideology endorses deregulation, free market and unlimited privatization as the key definitions of freedom, although they are related to extreme exploitation and have had devastated effect on natural resources.

The rising of new subversive movements, direct actions and civil associations, which oppose the oppression caused by the logic of the
neoliberal capitalism and its influence on the structural adjustment of many societies, combined with the global financial crisis, put forwards the question about the place and the role of anarchism as theory and as a practice today.

The conference will be focused on the following issues:

• Neo-liberalism and feminism today - the collaboration or resistance
