"Biopower and Societies of Control"

First Annual Meeting of the Society for Social and Political Philosophy: Historical, Continental, and
Feminist Perspectives

To be held in conjunction with the 41st Annual Conference of the Society
for Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy (SPEP) at Loyola University,
Chicago, October 10, 2002 (from 9 am to 12 noon)

The term ^biopower^ is almost exclusively associated with the work of
Michel Foucault. In the last decade, however, the significance of the
term and its usage as a suggestive invocation about a fundamental
relation between life and politics has been re-examined and explored by
numerous thinkers (Patton, Agamben, Lazzarato, Hardt and Negri, etc.).

Plans for our opposition to the celebration of
Columbus Day in Denver, Colorado, are in full swing.
Planning is constantly underway, but we have come out
with a general outline of events and actions from
October 9th –13th for those planning on attending.

We will also have plenty of food and housing available
for our out-of-town guests, as well as child care for
everyone.

The Herbert Read Conference

Dates: 25, 26 and 27 June 2004

Location: The Djanogly Arts Centre, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, England

Deadline for Submission of Proposals: Not yet set

Following his death in 1968, interest in Herbert Read's work fell away dramatically, and even his position as a signifiant historical figure in the history of Modernism was often forgotten. This situation began to change in 1993 with the staging of the major international exhibition, Herbert Read: A British Vision of World Art, at Leeds City Art Galleries in England. Together with the accompanying catalogue and an academic conference, this exhibition sowed the seeds for a revival of interest in Read which is very much in evidence today.

September Deadline: Can the ICANN Model Be Revised?

On September 30, 2002, the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the US Department of Commerce (DOC) and ICANN, the corporation created to private the infrastructure of the Internet, will expire. As the deadline
is soon approaching, a burning question remains: Can a private entity and
a public treasure be mixed?" (The public treasure is the Internet.)

Exhibition funded in part by the New York State Council on the Arts

In the early winter of 2001, the Phoenix Anarchist
Coalition began discussions centered around the
creation of a southwest anarchist network. Some
visiting anarchists from New Mexico heard our ideas
and decided they would like to host a South West
Anarchist Gathering (SWAG). More discussions
regarding such a network took place at the Bay Area
Anarchist Bookfair (BAAB) and, of course, at the SWAG
in New Mexico. On the last day of the SWAG,
anarchists from New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado
began planning for the next discussion at the
Transform Columbus Day events in Denver. The group
also decided to follow this up with the actual
formation of the network at another southwest
anarchist conference/gathering in Phoenix, AZ in the
spring of 2003.
