"The Event of War:

American Interventions in the 20th and 21st Centuries"

November 5-7, 2004, Emory University; Atlanta, GA

Keynote Speaker:

Robert Jay Lifton M. D., author of the Superpower Syndrome

Centuries of wars -- world wars, wars of liberation, civil wars,
religious wars, the Cold war -- the 20th century has raised urgent
questions concerning the adequacy of responding to aggression, the limits
of human action, the dangers of technological development, and the status
of the human. How can the humanities respond to the recent shifts in
interventionist policies that threaten the self-determination and
political stability of foreign nations? What responsibility do
intellectuals have in this context?

Momentum Journal writes MOMENTUM
ANNOUNCING A NEW JOURNAL OF RADICAL POLITICS


          In the years since the WTO demonstrations in Seattle, there has been renewed interest in radical politics. A movement has emerged that is seriously engaging with questions about our understanding of how the world operates, the kind of world we’d like to see, and what strategies we might use in our struggles. Yet there are very few spaces, aside from cyberspace, in which these discussions can take place in a focused and ongoing manner. We feel this void prevents our movements from actually moving, from thinking and reflecting on the words and deeds that animate our political work. This is why we have decided to generate Momentum.

         

Proposed Special Session: "Anarchism and Literature"
2004 M/MLA Annual Convention

November 4-7, St. Louis, Missouri

Studies of the complex historical relationship between the anarchist movement and literary avant-gardes have proliferated since the publication of Richard Sonn's Anarchism and Cultural Politics in Fin-de-Siècle France (1989) and David Weir's Anarchy and Culture (1995). What once might have seemed a curiosity now appears to have been central to the development of literary aesthetics: from the Pre-Raphaelites to the Symbolists, from the Expressionists to the Dadas, and from Pound's Vorticism to the Black Mountain poets, modernism is marked by anarchist struggles.

"Don't Just [Not] Vote"

www.dontjustvote.com

We are calling for a national campaign to take
advantage of this election year to emphasize the power
of direct action and to present direct democracy as a
viable alternative to representation. This campaign
will include literature distribution, postering and
stickering, demonstrations, educational events, and
other forms of community outreach, both in our own
communities and around the Democratic and Republican
National Conventions. It will culminate in a
nationwide day of direct action on November 2,
election day.
