"Alternative Economic Summit"

Warsaw, Poland, April 28-30, 2004


to coincide with
The World Economic Forum European Economic Summit,
Warsaw, Poland April 28-30, 2004

On the eve of accession to the European Union (significantly planned for May 1 to change the nature of that holiday), the European Economic Summit (which was cancelled in Dublin due to planned protests) is coming to Warsaw. On this occasion, we would like to greet the Summit not only with protest but with criticism and alternative visions. It is with this aim that we are calling for participation in an Alternative Economic Forum.

cy writes "http://flotilla2004.com/

Over 350 people on the boat now known as SIEV X died trying to seek a better life. Countless others have drowned or gone missing in similar circumstances; thousands more have been interned in Australia's camps. The lives of those who are not citizens have been declared without value.

Up until now, those fleeing in boats have been met with military force, slander and the terrible cynicism of electoral rivalry. A new and shifting atlas of excisions and offshore penal colonies has been manufactured to circumvent the search for a better life.

In Australia, an asylum policy remains as fiction. In reality, the movements of people as something other than things for The Economy has been banned. We are all, with different degrees of violence, governed by this restriction on our lives and therefore in solidarity with those who, courageously and with hope, risk everything for freedom.

And so, those who are confined in Australia's concentration camps have put the question of 'freedom or death' starkly before us. It is necessary for the rest of us to make the voyage beyond symbolic indignation and act. It is possible and necessary to refuse the monopoly of governments over action, space and the valuing of lives.

This voyage of this Flotilla recalls the old law of the sea - which obliges us to give assistance to anyone in peril, without regard for flags - and seeks to open a multitude of flows toward a new world for which maps are yet to be created.

Therefore, the Flotilla will use a diversity of tactics: boats converging to Australia's north in mid-2004 crewed by autonomous affinity groups; media streams and online protests; radio waves and OpenFlow events.

Everyone is invited to make the voyage in their own way.

"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.

"future/tense"

Time and Politics Conference

Graduate Conference in the Department of Anthropology,
Johns Hopkins University, February 28th, 2004

Risk, survival, trauma, globalization, technology, security -– each in its different way is tied to the contests and claims of an uncertain future, an embattled present or an un-mastered past. Anthropology, as a particular mode of engagement with the world, attempts to understand the ways in which these overarching phenomena fold into the weave of everyday life. The graduate students of the Department of Anthropology at Johns Hopkins University invite papers for future/tense, a student conference addressing notions of time and politics.
