LUM is a Free Metropolitan University, independent from the academy, that since 2005 organizes open seminars which last one year. Students, researchers, precarious workers, PhD students and professors hold free and public discussions leading to the organization of an annual seminar. Every year it is focused on different issues, such as transformation of metropolis and its gentrification; human nature and political theory; figures of the material body in the present; tumults and uprisings; common property in the global crisis. The series of seminars is often followed by the publication of seminar papers such as Lessico Marxiano (ManifestoLibri, 2008) and Le passioni della crisi (ManifestoLibri, 2010) both available on our website under Creative Common License.
