INTRODUCTION Why do rich people seeking reductions in their tax burdens, who have the ability to influence Congress directly through lobbying and campaign contributions, sometimes resort to grassroots populist methods? And why do non-rich people sometimes join the rich in their anti-tax movements? These are the puzzles Isaac William Martin sets out to solve in Rich People’s Movements.1 Martin’s historical research—much of it based on original sources to which scholars have previously paid little or no attention—reveals that, far from being a recent innovation, populist-style movements against progressive federal taxation go back nearly a century, to the 1920s. Although Martin identifies various anti-tax movements throughout the past century, he strikingly concludes that there has been “substantial continuity from one campaign to the next, so that, in some * Pamela B.

These “pop up” interventions range from loosely assembled happenings to the more institutionally supported all-night art festivals like Nuit Blanche. This paper examines the types of geospatial memory produced and inscribed through small- scale, participatory, site-specific urban art events. It considers how this work participates in forms of placemaking which both enact provisional and iterative forms of assembly while also marking the psychogeographic remains of space.

  • Behind Janus: Documents Reveal Decade-Long Plot to Kill Public-Sector Unions
    Behind Janus: Documents Reveal Decade-Long Plot to Kill Public-Sector Unions The Supreme Court case Janus v. AFSCME is poised to decimate public-sector unions—and it’s been made possible by a network of right-wing billionaires, think tanks and corporations. MARY BOTTARI FEBRUARY 22, 2018 | MARCH ISSUE In These Times THE ROMAN GOD JANUS WAS KNOWN FOR HAVING TWO FACES. It is a fitting name for the U.S. Supreme Court case scheduled for oral arguments February 26, Janus v. American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, Council 31, that could deal a devastating blow to public-sector unions and workers nationwide. In the past decade, a small group of people working for deep-pocketed corporate interests, conservative think tanks and right-wing foundations have bankrolled a series of lawsuits to end what they call “forced unionization.” They say they fight in the name of “free speech,” “worker rights” and “workplace freedom.” In briefs before the court, they present their public face: carefully selected and appealing plaintiffs like Illinois child-support worker Mark Janus and California schoolteacher Rebecca Friedrichs. The language they use is relentlessly pro-worker. Behind closed doors, a different face is revealed. Those same people cheer “defunding” and “bankrupting” unions to deal a “mortal blow” to progressive politics in America. A key director of this charade is the State Policy Network (SPN), whose game plan is revealed in a union-busting toolkit uncovered by the Center for Media and Democracy. The first rule of the national network of right-wing think tanks that are pushing to dismantle unions? “Rule #1: Be pro-worker, not anti-union.

Jackson History 4712 603 Fayerweather Hall Tues. & Thurs. 1:10pm-2:25pm- [email protected] 417 International Affairs Building “The city, the city my Dear Brutus – stick to that and live in its full light. Residence elsewhere, as I made up my mind in early life, is mere eclipse and obscurity to those whose energy is capable of shining in Rome.” Marcus Tullius Cicero “New York City, the incomparable, the brilliant star city of cities, the forty-ninth state, a law unto itself, the Cyclopean Paradox, the inferno with no out-of-bounds, the supreme expression of both the miseries and the splendors of contemporary civilization, the Macedonia of the United States. It meets the most severe test that may be applied to the definit ion of a metropolis – it stays up all night. But also it becomes a small town when it rains.” John Gunther “If you live in New York, even if you’re Catholic, you’re Jewish.” Lenny Bruce “There is no question there is an unseen world; the question is, how far is it from midtown, and how late is it open?” Woody Allen “I am not afraid to admit that New York is the greatest city on the face of God’s earth. You only have to look at it from the air, from the river, from Father Duffy’s statue. New York is easily recognizable as the greatest city in the world, view it any way and every way – back, belly, and sides.” Brendan Behan “Is New York the most beautiful city in the world?

  • THE GLOBAL SOCIAL FORUM MOVEMENT Michael Menser
    THE GLOBAL SOCIAL FORUM MOVEMENT Michael Menser PORTO ALEGRE’S “PARTICIPATORY BUDGET,” AND THE MAXIMIZATION OF DEMOCRACY INTRODUCTION COUNTER-HEGEMONIC GLOBALIZATION AND THE DEMOCRATIC IMPULSE The World Social Forum is a new social and political phenomenon. The fact that it does have antecedents does not diminish its new- ness. Rather, quite the opposite. It is not an event, nor a mere suc- cession of events. It is not a scholarly conference, although the contributions of many scholars converge in it. It is not a party or an international of parties, although militants and activists of many parties all over the world take part in it. It is not an NGO [non-gov- ernmental organization] or confederation of NGOs, even though its conception and organization owes a great deal to them. It is not a social movement, even though it often designates itself as a move- ment of movements. Although it presents itself as an agent of social change, the WSF rejects the concept of a historical subject and confers no priority on any specific social actor in the process of social change. It holds no clearly defined ideology either in defin- ing what it rejects or what it asserts. (Santos 2003, 235) The possibility of democracy on a global scale is emerging today for the very first time. (Hardt and Negri 2004 xi) HROUGHOUT THE 1990S, the fragmentation of the US and global Left inspired as much ridicule as it did critical analysis. A seemingly Tinfinite series of splits occurred along a variety of axes: ethnic and racial identity, geographical place, sexual orientation/practices, organization type, lifestyle choice, relationships with nonhumans, degree of ideological purity, and on and on.
