Contemporary curators are loving the alien, the sacred and the cultic. But far from challenging contemporary social mores, this Other-worship is just an orthodox postmodern denigration of human agency, argues J.J. Charlesworth

In the recent show FUSION NOW!, curator J.J. Charlesworth invited his exhibitors to imagine technologically produced abundance. But without a vision of social revolution, what kind of politics was the show promoting, and were the artists on message?, asks Nuno Rodrigues

Text inspired by Will Barnes 'Climate and capital' (see Mute #2 Vol. 5)  with a more scientific and technical approach.  

Views on climate change  

There are many important topics in the news these days, but none is as
important for future generations as climate change. The decisions that
are made in the next years, months or days [1] will be determining the
future of mankind. Climate change is also a topic where political, social,

Brief historicization (from www.spiked-online.com) of the latest inter-governmental eco-policy deal, looking into the way certain branches of capital established the 'Green' agenda long before its discovery by counter-culture and adoption by mainstream moralism.  The ideology of Scarcity is perpetual, but it took on this distinct institutional form during the late 20th century Supply Side ascendancy.  Incidentally the implicit contradiction between an 'eco-imperialist' drive to keep the 'underdeveloped' world that way (as a 'non-capitalist' source of loot) and industrial capi

Now that environmentalists and government ostensibly have the same interests at heart one might expect a bit of collusion. But the Climate Camp at London's Heathrow Airport last month saw protesters, media and the police co-produce an event of extraordinary restraint, reports Damian Abbott. While the Met made the protesters' lives as difficult as possible, the campers seemed to be doing a pretty good job of this on their own


Heathrow protest: not-so-happy campers OpenPublishing | News & Analysis

An all-too-believeable first-hand account from Spiked (http://www.spiked-online.com/index.php?/site/article/3730/) of the heroic Civil Obedience at the pro-Behaviour Modification protest camp outside Heathrow.  (Although Spiked's habit of labelling this lot 'Puritans' seems a bit unfair on 17th century Calvinists, given the latter group's social-levelling tendencies, hatred of superstition and insistence on independent thought.)  There are particularly telling moments when protest spokesman John Jordan says the muddy austerity of the camp exemplifies the kind of 'simple life'

George Caffentzis

Since 2004 the rhetoric of Bush’s republican party has turned curiously green, integrating climate change as a legitimation for neoliberal imperialism. At the same time the unintended consequence of America’s unsuccessful adventures has been to enrich an ‘anti-neoliberal’ class of oil rentiers in Africa, Latin America and Asia. George Caffentzis plots the changes in the US energy policy as it turns from eco-naysayer to ecowarrior

It’s not just the founders of hippy communes or artists like Amy Balkin who are looking for ‘a breathing space from the State’ in which to experiment with freedom and free-time. Big IT companies like Google apparently share their ideals. With a commitment to ‘me time’, the production of ‘universal access’, and (energy) sovereignty, corporates are leveraging the dream of the commons
