Climate Camp and Class
Submitted by Neon_Black81 on Saturday, 30 August, 2008 - 00:26
Adam Ford Picture the scene. The setting sun is glinting off the visors of the police lined up in front of me. It's the second or third day of the weeklong Camp for Climate Action - already I've lost count - and for the second or third time since I last slept it looks as if the cops are about to invade. I've just bolted from the opposite end of the site, where I've helped dig a defensive trench at another gate. To my left, atop a red van, a woman who sounds scouser than scouse exhaustedly screeches words of encouragement into a megaphone and somehow dances to Radiohead. subject: Activism | Anarchist | Class | Libertarian | Social Movements

Turbulence Collective It’s night time and a man is crawling around on his hands and knees, looking for his car keys underneath a lamp post. A woman comes along and starts to help him. After they’ve been searching together for a while the woman asks the man: “Are you sure this is where you dropped them?†The man replies: “No, I think I dropped them somewhere else.†“Then why are we looking here?†she enquires. “Because this is where the light is.†subject: Social Movements

Anja Kanngieser/ Manuela Zechner Based on empirical research around two events that happened in response to the G8 meetings in Germany in summer 2007, this paper examines relations between the organizational practice and the discourses that set up and guided both these events. One of them was a meticulously coordinated blockade action ("Block G8") close to Heiligendamm, and the other a theory-inspired "summit" calling initiatives to unalign from the education agenda of the G8. While the "Block G8" was an action with a clearly determined goal (blocking several roads), the outcome of “summit†was left open. subject: Social Movements

Robert Neuwirth / Takebacktheland Robert Neuwirth's urgently necessary 'Squattercity' draws attention to the Takebacktheland occupation in Miami, where on the site of a demolished block of cheap apartments the homeless are building and defending the housing that the 'market' and the state will never provide. As Neuwirth suggests, imagine if this supposedly 'third world' phenomenon were to spread to New Orleans and...and...

Melancholic Troglodytes No other group has had such a catalysing influence on the new political forms and tactics espoused by the anti-globalisation movement, yet there has been too little critical analysis of the Zapatistas' politics and the relationship of western activists to their guerilla icons.

Giorgio Agamben This piece is a bit old perhaps, but now that the movement presumably in question has gone from 'pretend it isnt there' to 'pretend it is' (see below), it may be useful for people considering where it has gone/ is going. More broadly it helps connect up Giorgio's ideas on biopolitics and gesture with Toni's ideas on multitude and joyful bodies etc via the Nazi nexus of Schmitt (incidentally, what didn't Schmitt define in the realm of political science?)
