As cultural hegemonies change their normative forms of power, and the same matrices of domination that have long characterised institutions can no longer be identified, the question arises as to whether it is still possible to subversively intervene in an organism that has made openness and inclusive diversity its strength? Where is the potential for the dissemination of alternative ideas, for resistance and opposition? Is it possible to act without participating in the system, and what does it mean to be an outsider today? Outsiders try to recognise the world as it is, to be realistic, to be part of it, to discover and map the genders of the melting glaciers, to point the finger at the homogenising values of heterogeneous spaces, intellectual fashions, self-referential social relations and internal antagonisms. But if we want to make a difference, we don't need to reject what is already in place, we need to find the conditions for infiltration, the opportunities to work within the system, to be a subversive group, a "fifth column" that exploits the vulnerability of institutions - their promise of openness, that allows us to break through the exteriors of white planes and to latch onto the spaces beyond them, to subversively exploit centres of gravity and their infrastructure, the power of memory creation and control over the future, to thrill suspended change and to exploit it in order to subvert the appearance of consensus.
