"neither the normalization of classical anarchism nor the depoliticization of poststructuralism"
what is "postanarchism"?
first of all consider what is not; postanarchism is not an "ism" - it is not a coherent set of doctrines and beliefs that can be laid out *positively* as a bounded totality. as used here, this profoundly *negative* term refers instead to a broad and heterogeneous array of anarchist and "anarchistic" theories that have found that have been rendered homeless by the overly normalized doctrinarity of most of the classical anarchisms such as syndicalism, anarchocommunism, and platformism as well as their contemporary descendants (like social ecology). this situation is reflected not only in theory but also in the practice of such groups as the antiborder movements, people's global action, the zapatistas, the autonomen and other such groups that while clearly "antiauthoritarian" in orientation, do not explicitly identify with anarchism as a *tradition* so much as they identify with its *spirit*. the absolute origin of the term, is from the title given to a concept developed by saul newman in his book "from bakunin to lacan: antiauthoritarianism and the dislocation of power" where it refers to a theoretical move beyond classical anarchism into a more open and hybrid theory, achieved through a synthesis with key concepts and ideas from poststructuralist theory. in this sense it is quite similar to the "postmarxism" of ernesto lacalau and chantal mouffe in that while it is *post*anarchist it is also post*anarchist* - in other words it is not a complete rejection of classical anarchism but rather a step beyond the limits defined for it by enlightenment thought. yet this definition is contested and is now and probably always will be unstable - others have have chosen to define the term more broadly, including also ideas and concepts from critical theory, post-leftism, situationism, postcolonialism, autonomism, postmodernism, existentialism, postfeminism, zapatismo and other contemporary critical-theoretical tendencies. still others sympathetic to such a project yet skeptical of the urge to move beyond, explicitly reject the term "postanarchist" and argue that by keeping the term anarchist intact, but adding the adjective "poststructuralist" before it, anarchists preserve what they see as the historically continuous antimodernism that can be found even in classical theorists such as mikhail bakunin.
Alan Moore writes "March 13, 2003 - International Arts Group Exposition 2003 (I've got an answer / I've got an anthem), Organized by Red76 Arts Group, at The Laurelhurst Theater, Portland.
FROM RED76:
Over the past several years, dozens of arts group have come into existence and met the need to serve as models for new and innovative arts platforms. Similar in practice to the ethics and culture of DIY punk/indie bands, arts groups have circumvented the stopgaps of their mainstream counterparts and, subsequently, created a vibrant and successful alternative to museums and galleries. They are the public's most accessible outlet for contemporary thought and practice in the arts.
Autonomous Geek writes "The POI (POSIX Organizing Initiative) in Portland, OR is putting out this draft conference call to gather interested parties and supporters together to plan the Portland Oregon Social Information Xchange for June, 2003.
What we would like you to do is read the preliminary ideas we have put
together, and let us know if you are interested in helping us organize
this conference, speaking at it, providing training or anything else.
Mobilize NY writes "(a bit of Feb 14 theatrics, with the much coveted Mobilize NY seal of approval)
This Valentine's Day, Bring Them Home: Bring Them Home Now is a network of concerned Americans who wish to protect our men and women in uniform. We believe that the proposed war on Iraq is unnecessary and immoral. Under such circumstances the only way to be pro-soldier is to be anti-war.
The atrocity of September 11 should have changed the way we think about national security forever. It did, but we appear to have learned the wrong lesson. War will not make us safer. It will do just the opposite. (Take it from the CIA.) This Valentine's Day, come out and show your love for our troops whose lives are now at risk.
WHAT: Gathering to call for the immediate return of U.S. troops now stationed near Iraq.
WHERE: Times Square Military Recruiting Station (43rd where Broadway and 7th meet)
WHEN: Friday, 14 February, 7 p.m.
WHAT TO BRING: Yellow flowers. We'll decorate the recruiting station and hand out yellow ribbons to passers-by.

(CNN) -- Fed up with hackers, a flood of spam and lousy connections, Italian Roman Catholics have launched a search for a patron saint of the Internet. And they hope their online poll will yield a holy Web protector by Easter.
So far, about 5,000 visitors are casting their votes daily on
http://www.santiebeati.it, something that delights Monsignor James P. Moroney, an expert on prayer and worship for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
The State of the Real
An Interdisciplinary Conference
Glasgow School of Art, UK
21-22 November 2003
Keynote address: Prof. Linda Nochlin, New York University *
"How real can you get?"
The conference organisers propose a debate on the subject of 'the real' in
aesthetic philosophy, criticism and practice.
"When is representation not real?"
Recent years have seen notions of reality discussed in the open. What
relationship do current views developed by this discourse have with those
tenets of realism and representation that once provided the foundation for
aesthetic study? What are the philosophical consequences of the introduction
of technologies that increasingly blur the boundaries between art and
popular culture? What is the effect of aesthetic culture on Realpolitik?
What has happened to the notions of social realism, verisimilitude, and the
imaginary? Are they still relevant, and how have they been changed, if at
all?
"Reclaiming the real."
The organizers are also interested in how notions of reality are affected
by, and continue to affect, aesthetic practice in the fields of art, design,
and media production. With the popularity of haptic technologies, what has
happened to ^real haptics? How do practitioners and academics view older
technologies in the light of their electronic avatars? With the development
of notions of virtual space, what has happened to our understanding of the
body, the mind, and corporeal space?
The organisers particularly welcome proposals on, or dealing with, the
following related subjects:
Reality and realism in Art & Design History; New media technologies
Virtual Reality, CGI photography and cinema, the Internet, haptic
technologies; Modernity and Post-modernity/Modernism and Post-modernism;
Philosophies on ^the real in popular culture; Philosophy and art/design and
cultural practice; Reality television, realism in film.
Proposals for panels (no more than three papers) and workshops are also
welcomed.
Deadline for abstracts: 22 April 2003
Please send abstracts of no more than 300 words to:
'The State of the Real',
Dept. of Historical and Critical Studies,
Glasgow School of Art,
167 Renfrew St,
Glasgow,
Scotland, UK.
G3 6RQ.
Abstracts may be sent by email to real@gsa.ac.uk.

2nd Annual "Drug War Vigil" Film Festival
Drug War Vigil Memorial Group (14 Mar, 2003)
Entries must be registered by March 14, 2003
The Drug War Vigil Memorial Group is a social justice think tank that was founded in the fall of 2000. We are five medical cannabis users, dedicated to ending the War on Drugs. We as a group collectively recognize that the militarization of this medical issue and the criminalization of the chronically sick, terminally ill and chemically dependent has resulted in the needless loss of human life, and that this is the true crime.
