It is a new campaign combining visual arts, music, multimedia and humanity in order to prevent and fight against a famine threatening 12 millions people in Ethiopia, with the ultimate aim of seeing "all human rights for all" applied.

"All negation is determination; all determination is negation." -- Karl Marx, draft of Vol. II of Capital

News and Letters' 2003-2004 Perspectives state: What distinguishes a Marxist-Humanist response to imperialist war and terrorism is not just that we oppose both sides of the conflict, but that we take responsibility for projecting a vision of a new society that transcends capitalism...Marx's humanism remains for us the measure of any effort to create a new society. Standing for a new society does not simply mean being for practical struggles for a new society once they arise. Standing for a new society also means theoretically discerning the elements for creating a new society before such struggles arise.

"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?

First International Gathering on Social Movements and Research

[Jornades Internacionals Moviments Social i Recerca]

The first "International Conference on Social Movements and Research"
(Jornades Internacionals Moviments Social i Recerca), was held at the end
of January 2004 in Barcelona. It brought two hundred participants from
various places around the world together, who are doing activist research
or who are interested into it. It was a space for various discussions on
the relation between research and social movements and it was ideal for
exchanging ideas and to create research networks. A network of activists,
students and researchers from Barcelona organised the meeting.
