Studies in Transversality is a series of encounters between researchers, cultural workers, and organisers who are concerned with the contexts and consequences of their practices beyond their respective fields of specialisation, and who wish to open new lines of subjectivation. This session is the first of the year and brings together the practices of Colectivo Situaciones (Argentina), and a number of groups who are researching and organising around questions of creative labour, knowledge production and contemporary social movements in the UK and Europe today. Working through the notion of militant research, the session aims to examine the separations between university based academic research, cultural workers, and activists, the reason why these separations exist, and to share the working methods of these groups.

Zines and Beyond: Independent Publishing in the Real and the Virtual
Panelists: Michael Carter, Jim Fleming, Fly, Billy Miller and Seth Tobocman
ABC No Rio
156 Rivington St.
New York, NY 10002
Wednesday, October 14, 7-9pm
“There is no apostrophe in zine. Zine is not short for magazine. A magazine is a product, a commercial commodity. A zine is a labor of love, producing no profit, and frequently a loss, of time at least. In a magazine, information is just another ingredient, thinly sliced layers to keep the cream filling of advertising from sticking together. Information is the reason a zine exists; everything else, down to the paper it’s printed on, is there to convey information.”
-Larry-Bob, publisher of Holy Titclamps
“The best zines, whatever their subject, do not inhabit a ready-made world; they create one unto themselves.”
-Fred Wright, The History and Characteristics of Zines
On Wednesday, October 14, 2009, ABC No Rio invites speakers with a wide range of backgrounds in zines, comics, radical book publishing and independent social networking sites to share their experiences and explore the role of DIY publishing. The five panelists will present their own experiences with independent media as well as consider its role for the distribution of political content in both the digital and print form.

Montréal
You are invited to dress-up your pubes and play with your profiles with other sexy folks from all over the world for the upcoming fourth Artivistic gathering.
TURN*ON brings together artists (aka "Artists"), academics ("nerds"), and activists ("rebels") who take charge of issues related to sex, technology and politics. We invite you to MAKE the world with and alongside them.
The three-day gathering will consist of workshops, films, interactive audio and visual installations, performances, actions, discussions, as well as moles and infrastructural interventions for and within our movements. We want to turn to the potency of pleasure, curiosity, humor, and desire in order to TURN*ON that which has yet to be thought and experienced differently.
