  • Nils Aguilar – Globale Transition-Initiativen
    IV | Im Gespräch mit: Nils Aguilar – Globale Transition-Initiativen Nils Aguilar – Globale Transition-Initiativen Herr Aguilar, Sie beschäftigen sich in ihrem Film „Voices of transition“ mit zivilgesellschaftlichen Initiativen rund um den Globus, die versuchen, mit Konzepten einer sozialökologischen Landwirtschaft unabhängiger bzw. widerstandsfähiger gegen die Risiken und Probleme industrialisierter Landwirtschaftsformen zu werden. Wie sind Sie dazu gekommen? Ich hatte von klein auf einen stark emotionalen Bezug zur Landwirtschaft. Wenn man von naturliebenden Eltern in einer kleinen grünen Universitätsstadt inmitten von Weinbergen und Streuobstwiesen aufgezogen wird, dann kommt man nicht umhin, eine gewisse Sensibilität zu entwickeln, die man durchaus auch "romantisch" nennen darf, wenn man in dem Wort das subversive Element nicht übersieht. Wenn man in einem so gesunden sozialen Kontext aufwächst, merkt man eines Tages beim Erleben weniger privilegierter Orte, dass die Art, wie schlecht oder wie gut wir mit unseren Mitmenschen umgehen, eng zusammenhängt mit der Art, wie wir unsere Landschaften pflegen. Stark simplifiziert könnte man sagen, dass die Erosion unserer Kulturen und die Erosion unserer Böden fast immer Hand in Hand gehen. Jemand mit einer gewissen naturverbundenen Sensibilität wird beim Anblick von Monokulturwüsten sich viel eher in seinem ästhetischen Empfinden frustriert fühlen, als jemand, der in einer Großstadt aufgewachsen ist und nie einen emotionalen Bezug zu einer Prärie im Morgentau herstellen konnte oder zum Duft frischer Erde. Ich schicke das deswegen vorweg, weil ich es als Soziologe wichtig finde zu erwähnen, dass Aktivismus im Bereich der Nachhaltigkeit und der Ökologie nie aus dem nichts entsteht, sondern fast immer mit viel intensiver Naturerfahrung in der Kindheit korreliert: Diese müssten wir viel mehr fördern, wenn wir künftig weitere engagierte Generationen haben wollen.

    FAMILY FARM AGENDA 2013 December Issue Honoring Nelson Mandela Ralph Paige, Federation of Southern Cooperatives/Land Assistance Fund I write to express our sorrow at the loss of Nelson Mandela, yet, we also celebrate his life. His long, distinguished work for justice is an inspiration for those of us who seek justice in the United States. We also claim him as our leader. In the 1990's, in fact, the Federation named a housing initiative in Alabama after Mr. Mandela, known as the Griffin-Mandela Apartments. The United Nations awarded the Federation for these apartments, stating that they were an excellent model for low-income rural communities. Ralph Paige with Derek Hanekom (r), In the 1960's, Mr. Mandela was arrested and then imprisoned for 30 years on Robbin Mandela's Minister of Land Affairs and FSC’s Island because of his activism and leadership against the horrors of the apartheid keynote speaker in 1995. H. Gray photo. system. At the same time, we in the southern part of the United States were demanding our rights, freedom of expression and economic advancement against the destabilizing horrors of Jim Crow laws in the South. Our organization was created in the 1960's in response to this oppression. It was launched on the heels of rural Blacks attempting to express their constitutional rights of voting, access to government services and civil rights overall as American citizens. Unfortunately, these initiatives for freedom were met with derision by many white leaders in the South, such as government officials who denied credit and jobs to those, for example, who wanted to vote or to also assist others to register to vote and to demand the end of the oppressive Jim Crow laws.

    Voices of Transition – ein Dokumtentarfilm über Lösungen! Voices of Transition – ein Dokumtentarfilm über Lösungen! Krise als Herausforderung Klimawandel, das globale Erdölfördermaximum und eine zunehmende Zerstörung der Böden konfrontieren derzeit unser industrielles Agrarproduktionsmodell mit seinen Widersprüchen und stellen uns vor eine drohende weltweite Nahrungsmittelkrise. Entgegen dieser Entwicklung kommt eine globale Bewegung in Schwung, angetrieben von der Überzeugung, dass die gegenwärtige Krise eine enorme Chance für Veränderung ist! Inspiriert durch die Permakultur und Transition Town Bewegung, zeigt dieser unabhängig produzierte Dokumentarfilm „Voices of Transition“ (Cultures en transition) eine Reihe von innovativen Ansätzen auf, wie Menschen gesunde Nahrung fair und umweltfreundlich produzieren und gleichzeitig ihre natürliche Lebensgrundlage für sich und zukünftige Generationen erhalten können. Eine friedliche Evolution... Ob auf einen Balkongarten oder auf die Landwirtschaft einer ganzen Nation angewandt: Die Ideen und konkreten Handlungsvorschläge aus „Voices of Transition“ tragen dazu bei, Resilienz aufzubauen (aus dem Lateinischen resilire: abprallen). Mit anderen Worten, Gesellschaften sollen derart transformiert werden, dass sie gegen widrige Umstände und von außen kommende Schocks - wie etwa die 2008 aufgekommene Finanz- und Nahrungsmittelpreiskrise - gewappnet sind. ...hin zu mehr lokaler Resilienz. Die Schlüsselbegriffe für diese Transformation heißen Dezentralisierung, Diversität, Kooperation und freie Wissensverbreitung.

  • Social Sciences $€ £ ¥
    social sciences $€ £ ¥ Article Ecological Citizens with a Movie Camera: Communitarian and Agonistic Environmental Documentaries Katrin Hedemann Independent Scholar, 56237 Alsbach, Germany; [email protected] Received: 10 October 2019; Accepted: 4 November 2019; Published: 8 November 2019 Abstract: Environmental documentaries attained wider public and academic attention, especially in the aftermath of Al Gore’s prominent documentary on climate change An Inconvenient Truth. Making environmental documentaries is a cinematic form of political advocacy. However, there is a lack of research on the broad range of such films from Germany. While earlier works tended to an accusatory style, newer environmental documentary seems to be more constructive and aiming at spreading information about feasible alternatives. This article pursues three objectives: first, to gain a deeper understanding of the shift from accusatory to constructive documentaries; second, to connect film studies to the political change-making role and therefore to theories of ecological citizenship; and third, to explore the question of what citizenship with a movie camera means. The accusatory and constructive style are associated with agonistic and communitarian ecological citizenship. A sample of two films from the German context, namely Leben ausser Kontrolle produced by Bertram Verhaag in 2004 and Voices of Transition produced by Nils Aguilar in 2012, is analyzed comparatively. The interpretive research method combines methods of studying audio-visual rhetoric with the framing approach from social movement studies. Keywords: ecological citizenship; environmental documentary; video activism; media; environmental movement; social movements 1. Introduction If it is taken into account that most people learn about ecological problems from the media, the rising importance of environmental documentaries such as An Inconvenient Truth (Guggenheim 2006) in the last years cannot be neglected.
