"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.

"Grey Tuesday" Civil Disobedience Planned February 24th Against Copyright
Cartel

DOWNHILL BATTLE (February 18, 2004) -- A coalition of websites will join
in an online protest to offer free downloads of a critically acclaimed
album that is being censored by a lawsuit threat from EMI Records. The
action is an act of civil disobedience against a copyright regime that
routinely suppresses musical innovation. The Grey Album, which remixes
Jay-Z's Black Album and the Beatles' White Album, has been hailed as a
innovative hip-hop triumph, but EMI sent cease-and-desist letters to any
record store that stocked it. This Tuesday ("Grey Tuesday") the coalition
of sites will offer free downloads of the Grey Album, and turn their pages
grey, to take a stand against a copyright regime that serves neither
musicians nor the public interest.

Appeal for Testimonies from Gothenborg 2001

by Gerd P. in Gothnburg, Sweden

Make a complaint to the court of appeal of Gothenburg, Sweden, that you were really locked in by the police at the school of Hvitfeldtska during the EU summit of Gothenburg2001!

During the EU summit in Gothenburg2001, on the14th of June, the Swedish police surrounded the school of Hvitfeldtska and locked 650 lodgers in .
450 of these lodgers were deprived of their freedom for more than 12 hours and many were badly treated by the police.

The former commander of the police of Gothenburg, Jaldung, was recently charged at the court of Gothenburg with depriving all these demonstrators of their freedom on this occasion,
But last week this commander-in-chief was acquitted of the charges on the basis that the court didn´t find it proved that any of the lodgers really was deprived of his or her freedom.
