DPU as an alternative university
In its socially-reproductive function the established university is closely related with the existing social hierarchy: the university favours a typifying and utilitarian knowledge and grooms the future work force by virtue of its examination regimes. Thursdays' public lectures – about 20 per year - of the Workers' Punk University, however, are held in Klub Gromka at Metelkova mesto Autonomous Cultural Zone. As the 'invisible college' this alternative university seeks to provide an alternative to the established production of knowledge, not merely on the level of content but also in terms of its organisational structure, consequently it is organised and led by the students themselves. In the season 2007/2008 the DPU has launched a film seminar called Filmski krožek (themes: film comedy, the new Hollywood, the American 'black' film, Partisan film) in collaboration with Retrovizor.
Previous lecture-cycles
In the past years DPU has addressed the topics such as 'Revolution', 'Neo-Conservativism', 'The New Right', 'The Left', 'Utopistics', 'May '68: reVISION' and 'Love and Politics', 'Post-Fordism', (drawing on the most diverse sources, including Gandhi, Freud, Arendt, Marx, Rousseau, St Augustine, St Paul, Adorno, Foucault, de Sade, Lacan, Negri and Virno), 'Political Ecology', ' On Sin', 'Totalitarism', 'Stupidity', 'School as Ideological Economy Apparatus' in the 2009/10 season.
Reading seminars
The Reading Seminars organised by DPU - some six per year - included insight into 'Psychoanalysis', 'Theory of Art', 'Hegel and Philosophy', 'Asian Production Mode', and 'Transformations in Art', which together with the Museum of Modern Art co-organised six lectures on the function of art in society. For the second time DPU also organised Prvomajska šola ('DPU 1st May School') on Marxism and on the critic of apolitical economy with lectures and guests from Slovenia and the region.
