Engaging in a theater of war that has been delineated by the enemy is a shortcut to defeat. Getting out of the reactive mode that produces little but a series of Pavlovian responses, this book proposes a tactical desertion from the culture wars as they are being waged today—a refusal to play the other side’s war games, an unwillingness to be distracted.<a href="https://www.bakonline.org/basics/deserting-from-the-culture-wars/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Read more on the book here</a>.The book launch includes a program with contributions by Maria Hlavajova, Sven Lütticken, Jonas Staal, and Clara Balaguer.Live streaming As well as being an on-site event at BAK, the program also will be streamed live.
