Resistance, Rebellion and Revolt! OCIALiT SCHOLARS CONFERENCE Resistance, Rebellion and Revolt! April 18, 19 & 20, 1986 The 4th Annual Boro of Manhattan Community College, CUNY, 199 Chambers Street, New York City FRIDAY SATURDAY SUNDAY 7-10 pm 9:30 am-lO pm 9:30 am-6 pm Resistance, Rebellion and Revolt! A broad range of academics and social activists have gathered for a 4th Annual Socialist Scholars Conference on Friday through Sunday, April 18-20 at the Boro of Manhattan Community College. This year's theme of Resistance, Rebellion and Revolt focuses upon a century of mass workers movements: 100th Anniversary of the Haymarket Riots, 75th Anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire (which helped galvanize the women's working-class movement here in New York City), the 50th Anniversary of the great sit-down strikes which helped found the CIO, the 50th Anniversary of the Spanish Civil War, and the 30th Anniversary of the Hungarian Revolt. This year we are commemorating the millions who have fought and died in the real socialist struggle, the continual revolt from below. CHILDCARE AVAILABLE Saturday 9:00 am - 5:00 pm Sunday 9:00 am - 5:00 pm Children must toilet trained and at least three years old. ROOM N312 The Graduate School and University Center of the City University of New York Ph.D. Program in Sociology I Box 375 Graduate Center: 33 West 42 Street, New York, N.Y. 10036-8099 212 790-4320 To Our Fellow Participants: Socialism, in the multifaceted forms it has adopted, has inspired a vast number of social movements in a wide range of countries. Dealing with this complex and often ambivalent legacy represents a major intellectual and moral challenge at a time when both the vision of socialism and the crisis of self-proclaimed socialist regimes invite our concern. Yet, as the "Resistance, Rebellion and Revolt" theme of the conference indicates, socialists have been struggling with these problems for more than a century. It is to their courage that we dedicate this 1986 conference, held on the anniversary of many events of historic significance to all socialists: the 100th anniversary of the Haymarket Riots; the 85th anniversary of the Triangle fire, which helped galvanize the women's working class movement in NY; the 50th anniversary of the Sit-In Strikes, which helped found the CIO; the 50th anniversary of the Spanish Civil War; and the 30th anniversary of the Hungarian Revolution. As in past years, the Socialist Scholars Conference seeks to bring together academics, activists, workers and analysts who deal with the problem of socialism as a democratic movement and a set of strategic and theoretical approaches to guide current struggles. This forum takes place within CUNY, under the sponsorship of the Ph.D. Program in Sociology and a number of socialist and social-critical journals and institutions. It will continue as an annual activity, bringing together a broad range of scholars and activists from the U.S., as well as an ever-increasing number of colleagues from Europe, the Western Hemisphere and the Third World. We hope that you enjoy the conference, find it useful in your own work, and that you will mark your calendar in advance for the 1987 Socialist Scholars Conference. Next year's Conference will be held on April 10th, llth and 12th, 1987 and will again take place at the Boro of Manhattan Community College. Its theme will be "AGAINST DOMINATION: STATE, CLASS, GENDER & RACE." This year's coordinators apologize for any weaknesses in the organization of the conference and would welcome suggestions about possible improvements for future conferences. We expect to publish at least a portion of the proceedings during the year, and have begun a pamphlet series which will be available by May 1, 1986.

  • Sustainability, Hegemony, and Urban Policy in Calgary by Tom Howard BA
    From Risky Business to Common Sense: Sustainability, Hegemony, and Urban Policy in Calgary by Tom Howard B.A. (with distinction), University of Calgary, 2010 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Geography) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) April 2015 © Tom Howard 2015 ABSTRACT Recent years have seen the City of Calgary adopt a suite of sustainability policies in a bid to shift its received trajectory of sprawling urban development towards eco-conscious alternatives. But where sustainable urban development is typically rendered as a consensus-driven project portending mutual benefits for a given locality, the historical adoption of sustainability policies in Calgary has been characterized by waves of conflict and controversy which have allegedly watered down the City’s policy objectives. Rather than evaluating the technical merits of individual policies against ‘best practice’-type standards, this thesis argues that the meanings and implications of particular policy paradigms – such as Calgary’s move towards sustainability – must be found in both the specific institutional configurations in which policies are formed and the political-economic conditions to which they respond. This thesis explores these institutional pressures and conjunctural forces through a historical analysis of several key moments in the emergence and evolution of sustainability-oriented policy in Calgary. Chapter 1 establishes context for this inquiry, while Chapter 2 formulates a theoretical framework by synthesizing neo-Marxian interpretations of local environmental policy and recent innovations in the field of ‘policy mobilities’ with the work of Antonio Gramsci, particularly related to his conception of hegemony.

  • Cities for People, Not for Profit
    CITIES FOR PEOPLE, NOT FOR PROFIT The worldwide financial crisis has sent shock waves of accelerated economic restructuring, regulatory reorganization, and sociopolitical conflict through cities around the world. It has also given new impetus to the struggles of urban social movements emphasizing the injustice, destructiveness, and unsustainability of capitalist forms of urbanization. This book contributes analyses intended to be useful for efforts to roll back contemporary profit-based forms of urbanization, and to promote alternative, radically democratic, and sustainable forms of urbanism. The contributors provide cutting-edge analyses of contemporary urban restructuring, including the issues of neoliberalization, gentrification, colonization, “creative” cities, architecture and political power, sub-prime mortgage foreclosures, and the ongoing struggles of “right to the city” movements. At the same time, the book explores the diverse interpretive frameworks – critical and otherwise – that are currently being used in academic discourse, in political struggles, and in everyday life to decipher contemporary urban transformations and contestations. The slogan, “cities for people, not for profit,” sets into stark relief what the contributors view as a central political question involved in efforts, at once theoretical and practical, to address the global urban crises of our time. Drawing upon European and North American scholarship in sociology, politics, geography, urban planning, and urban design, the book provides useful insights and perspectives for citizens, activists, and intellectuals interested in exploring alternatives to contemporary forms of capitalist urbanization. Neil Brenner is Professor of Urban Theory at the Graduate School of Design, Harvard University. He formerly served as Professor of Sociology and Metropolitan Studies at New York University.

  • Pebbles and Crumbs in Neoliberal Space
    Pebbles and crumbs in neoliberal space Siraj Izhar 2006 Written for City Mined conference on ‘Generalised Empowerment’ London 2006 www.generalizedempowerment.org/conference These are improbable times when represented reality bears less and less resemblance to actual reality. The greater the currency of the words freedom and democracy, the more pervasive the forms of social control with new technologies of surveillance and monitoring underpinned by an indefinite War on Terror; the greater the demand for more mobile, more cheap and more flexible labour, the more the significance of borders and impulse to reactive nationalism; the greater the appeal to economic growth, the more the precaricity and insecurity in our communities and widening of social division. There is a baroque aesthetic form in the making that extrapolates the world of representation from the world of lived reality to the absolute extreme. It is a grand project of abstraction become viral and truthfully mirrors an economic reality in which monetary exchanges for necessary commodities are a tiny fraction of the amount produced for speculation. In such terms at least, our lived reality is sedimented at the bottom of a seismic flow of transnational speculative capital. Sustaining a belief out of this falls to the labour of the professional classes today; theirs is the imaginative task of ‘consensualising’ the contradictions. This make belief world is itself a vast undertaking commissioned outsourced and routinised and in it Culture is the keystone and its producers, including artists have become key functionaries; Art in particular is coveted for this role because it is an ‘innocent’ child, because its intrinsic value is independent of economic capital, because of its (to quote Bourdieu) ‘inverted economy’.

  • WHY ECOSOCIALISM TODAY? by Joel Kovel Homo Sapiens Has Been
    WHY ECOSOCIALISM TODAY? By Joel Kovel Homo sapiens has been contending with its effects on nature since Paleolithic days and the first great extinctions wrought by hunting bands. But it was not until the 1970s that these became experienced as a great ecological crisis threatening the future of the species. The modern environmental movement was born in that moment, with its Earth Days, green parties and innumerable NGOs signalling that a new, ecologically aware age had arisen to contend with the planetary threat. The optimism of those early years has now quite faded. Despite certain useful interventions like greater recycling of garbage or the development of green zones, it is increasingly apparent that the whole mass of governmental regulations, environmental NGO’s, and academic programs has failed to check the overall pace of ecological decay. Since the first Earth Day was proclaimed, in fact, the breakdown in crucial areas such as carbon emissions, the loss of barrier reefs and deforestation of the Amazon basin, has actually accelerated and even begun to assume an exponential character. How do we explain this grim fact, the awareness of which should inspire the most vigorous efforts to go beyond the limits of present-day environmentalism? Perhaps Margaret Thatcher should be heeded here. In the later years of the 1970s, the very decade that was to usher in the environmental era, the “Iron Lady” Prime Minister of the UK announced the rise of “TINA,” such being the acronym for her slogan that “There Is No Alternative” to the given society, and certainly no alternative of the sort envisioned by the first wave of environmentalists.

  • The Commune Movement During the 1960S and the 1970S in Britain, Denmark and The
    The Commune Movement during the 1960s and the 1970s in Britain, Denmark and the United States Sangdon Lee Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Leeds School of History September 2016 i The candidate confirms that the work submitted is his own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others. This copy has been supplied on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement ⓒ 2016 The University of Leeds and Sangdon Lee The right of Sangdon Lee to be identified as Author of this work has been asserted by him in accordance with the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 ii Abstract The communal revival that began in the mid-1960s developed into a new mode of activism, ‘communal activism’ or the ‘commune movement’, forming its own politics, lifestyle and ideology. Communal activism spread and flourished until the mid-1970s in many parts of the world. To analyse this global phenomenon, this thesis explores the similarities and differences between the commune movements of Denmark, UK and the US. By examining the motivations for the communal revival, links with 1960s radicalism, communes’ praxis and outward-facing activities, and the crisis within the commune movement and responses to it, this thesis places communal activism within the context of wider social movements for social change. Challenging existing interpretations which have understood the communal revival as an alternative living experiment to the nuclear family, or as a smaller part of the counter-culture, this thesis argues that the commune participants created varied and new experiments for a total revolution against the prevailing social order and its dominant values and institutions, including the patriarchal family and capitalism.
