Free radios meeting in Naples January 16-18
Assaulting the airwaves
(let's fight for radio and information rights in Italy)
Between 1975 and 1975, thanks to the liberalization of the airwaves, several independent and free radios were born in Italy. Experiences which were born thanks to frequency occupation and which were for the most part acknowledged by the authorities that assigned frequencies. Some of them still exist and play an important role in information in the political debate in the movements, and are structures that guarantee freeedom and pluralism, creative expression and information in Italy. Since that time till the end of the 90's just sporadic and happy experiences, born by movements and students' occupations, followed the same path. Recently, thanks to the diffusion of new technologies, there's the chance to use new ways of communication, avoiding red tapes and legal problems. Not just ways that stay on written pages, but ways that find their own voice: streaming! At the end of the the 90's web radios start to stream. With web broadcasting former radio experiences on airwaves found a bigger diffusion, and at the same time, local groups, which couldn't have any chance to broadcast on the airwaves, had the chance to send their signal. New technologies also made a change creating new networks between new and old experiences.

7th Annual Conference
Society for European Philosophy
London, Aug, 26-28, 2004 At the University of Greenwich, Maritime Campus
Conference web site: www.gre.ac.uk/~jk13/SEP2004
The greatest thinkers and movements of European philosophy have been
concerned to question and analyse the systems of thought, economies and
patterns of behaviour that constitute the dominant ideology of their time.
Modern European philosophy has attained its power by producing concepts
and questions that interrupt the presuppositions and techniques of that
order.
However, the specificity of contemporary forms of power seems to rest in
the fact that, far from being challenged by resistance, they thrive upon
it; many of the old forms of resistance have not simply passed away, but
have been effectively taken into the very economy they sought to break.
This is the reality confronting philosophical thinking today.
Library of Social Science Symposium on the Psychological Interpretation of War
January 14-17, 2004, New York City
Anthony Giddens has observed that the failure of scholars to come to terms with the meaning of violence and war constitutes “one of the most extraordinary blank spots in social theory in the twentieth century.” This is an astonishing lacuna. War is a central institution in the history of civilization. World War I and World War II were the defining events of the 20th century. Just when it seemed that we were moving toward a globalized existence, we have been thrown once again into a world dominated by ideologies of violence.
"LIfe After Capitalism" Conference
New York City, August 20-22, 2004
As a new wave of activism in the US and abroad popularizes
opposition to global capitalism, it is essential that we continue to
develop alternative visions of a post-capitalist society. This
conference seeks to create a forum for people from diverse movements
to refine collectively our analysis of capitalism, to develop new
visions for directly democratic economic and political systems, and
to build effective organizing strategies for actualizing our
visions. This conference builds on the project initiated by ZNet at
the 2003 World Social Forum in Porto Alegre, Brazil.
GroundAction writes
"A new website titled 'Ground Action' has just been created.
The Ground Action site includes forums for discussing projects and developing plans of action for constructing organisations, networks and systems that are based on participatory democracy, mutual aid and self-management (i.e. alternatives to capitalism, centralised government, corporate controlled media, authoritarian schooling, etc.).
Thank you,
Michael

<"States of Emergency"
"The tradition of the oppressed teaches us that the 'state of emergency' in
which we live is not the exception but the rule. We must attain to a
conception of history that is in keeping with this insight. Then we shall
clearly realize that it is our task to bring about a real state of emergency."—Walter Benjamin, “Theses on the Philosophy of History"
