"Radical Theory Forum"
A workshop at the European Social Forum, Paris
13 November 2003
As part of the European Social Forum, we are interested in assembling an
international network of intellectuals/activists who are interested in
the relationship between new theories and new forms of politics. How
can we
move beyond a simplistic opposition to representative politics? How can
the
network form contaminate the institutional spaces in which a vast
number of people live and work? How can we relate the analysis of new
forms of
power with experimentation in political practice?
"The Life of Mobile Data:
Technology, Mobility and Data Subjectivity"
April 15-16, 2004, University of Surrey, England
Revised Deadline for Submission of abstracts: 30th November 2003
Keynote Speakers include:
David Lyon, Queens University, Ontario
Charles Raab, University of Edinburgh
Simon Davies, LSE and Privacy International
The rapid adoption and diffusion of mobile devices over the past decade has
transformed the way information is generated, organized and communicated
about individuals and their lives. The construction of new mobile data
profiles and of mobile, informatic selves, hold the potential to transform
what is organizationally and interpersonally meant by privacy,
individuality, community, risk, trust, and reciprocity in a mobilizing, and
globalizing world.
The Arts Collective writes
The Arts Collective stands for the release of the poet out of the typist, the painter out of the handyman, the musician out of the radio presenter, the activist out of the bureaucrat. Artistic expression in a process of radical democratisation. Art in various forms from song to sculpture, from commentary to critique, from drawing to dance.

Anonymous Comrade writes:
"It’s the “Gangs of New York” for real, or really playing… This weekend a crew of hardcore re-enactors will try to put on the Draft Riots of 1863 at the Richmondtown Restoration in Staten Island. The riot starts at 2pm, Saturday and Sunday.
Bureau of Public Secrets writes:
Brassens and the other post-World War II French singers are responsible for the greatest renaissance of song in modern times. . . . The great secret of Brassens is that he speaks for the total unassimilables with complete self-awareness. He knew that he and behind him his ever-growing following could not and never would be assimilated, and he knew why, and he said so in every song, whatever that song was about. With him the counterculture comes of age"
(Kenneth Rexroth, "Subversive Aspects of Popular Songs"). * * *
Stuff it: The Video Essay in the Digital Age
Edited by Ursula Biemann for the Institute for Theory of Art and Design, Zurich
With the entry of documentarisms into the arts, the video essay, as a visual reflection on reality, has gained much attention in recent art debates. Moreover, due to its subjective, dissociative, and highly self-reflexive characteristics, this video genre has become a preferred visual medium for theoretical considerations regarding the major shifts taking place in visual culture.
