FEENSTRA*1 TILBURG UNIVERSI T Y AND T HE NE T HERLANDS INS T I T U T E FOR SOCIAL RESEARCH / UNIVERSI TAT JAUME I In recent years, we have witnessed the emergence of political activism through an irruption of citizen movements – 5M or Occupy–, the birth of new political platforms –5 Stelle, Zyrisa, Podemos– and the rise of new direct action groups, such as Anonymous, Stop-Evictions Movements, co- operatives, to name just a few. In some countries this activism has not just placed substantial pressure on traditional actors of representative democ- racy and governments, but has also opened up opportunities for structural changes in the policymaking

    CHAO AB ORDO Chao ab Ordo(*) (*) The source of the oft used Latin phrase Ordo ab Chao has its roots deeply embedded in the origin story of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry in the Americas. Georges M. Halpern, MD, DSc with Yves P. Huin 1 CHAO AB ORDO Antipasti “Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.” Rob Siltanen You may never have read a single line of La Divina Commedia, and yet you’ve been influenced by it. But it’s just one line of the 14,233 that make up The Divine Comedy. The three-part epic poem published in 1320 by the Florentine bureaucrat -turned visionary storyteller- Dante Alighieri. In late 13th Century Florence, books were sold in apothecaries, a solid evidence that words on paper (or parchment) could affect minds with their ideas, as much as any drug. And what an addiction The Divine Comedy inspired: a literary work endlessly adapted, pinched from, referenced and remixed, inspiring painters and sculptors for centuries! More than the authors of the Bible itself, Dante provided us with the vision of Hell that remains with us and has been painted by Botticelli and Blake, Delacroix and Dalí, turned into sculpture by Rodin –whose The Kiss depicts Dante’s damned lovers Paolo and Francesca – and illustrated in the pages of X-Men comics by John Romita.

I would also like to express my gratitude to my supervisor Dr. Manuel Valenzuela for the constant follow-up of this research process, his support in many different ways, his permanent encouragement and his guidance. Likewise, to Dr. Casilda Cabrerizo for her orientation on Madrid’s social movements scene, her expert advice on the initiatives that are being developed in Puente de Vallecas and for providing me with the contacts of some activists. After this intense and enriching two-year Master’s program, I would also like to thank my 4Cities professors. I am particularly grateful to Nick Schuermans who introduced me to geographical thought. To Joshua Grigsby for engaging us to alternative city planning. To Martin Zerlang for his great lectures and his advice at the beginning of this thesis.

  • THE URBAN POLITICS of SQUATTERS’ MOVEMENTS Edited by MIGUEL A
    THE URBAN POLITICS OF SQUATTERS’ MOVEMENTS edited by MIGUEL A. MARTÍNEZ LÓPEZ The Contemporary City Series Editors Ray Forrest Lingnan University Hong Kong Richard Ronald University of Amsterdam Amsterdam, Noord-Holland The Netherlands In recent decades cities have been variously impacted by neoliberalism, economic crises, climate change, industrialization and post-industrialization and widening inequalities. So what is it like to live in these contemporary cities? What are the key drivers shaping cities and neighborhoods? To what extent are people being bound together or driven apart? How do these factors vary cross-culturally and cross nationally? This book series aims to explore the various aspects of the contemporary urban experience from a firmly interdisciplinary and international perspective. With editors based in Amsterdam and Hong Kong, the series is drawn on an axis between old and new cities in the West and East.

Queering the software Gendernaut es un término inglés que podríamos traducir como “generonauta”, navegador del género, y que invoca a los argonautas de Jasón. Queer, a su vez, significa raro, extraño, fuera de la norma. El término aparece por primera vez en el documental “Gendernauts: A journey through shifting identities” (1999), dirigido por Monika Treut, para refererirse a aquellas personas que viajan a través de identidades de género cambiantes. Gendernaut. Queering the software es el nombre que da forma a un proyecto político- artístico donde diseñaremos y programaremos un software open source (código abierto) que permitirá la creación colectiva de archivos a través de una experiencia multimedia interactiva online, una herramienta que podría ser una aportación relevante metodológica para investigaciones que provengan de las humanidades y las ciencias sociales.

  • Occupation Culture Art & Squatting in the City from Below
    Minor Compositions Open Access Statement – Please Read This book is open access. This work is not simply an electronic book; it is the open access version of a work that exists in a number of forms, the traditional printed form being one of them. All Minor Compositions publications are placed for free, in their entirety, on the web. This is because the free and autonomous sharing of knowledges and experiences is important, especially at a time when the restructuring and increased centralization of book distribution makes it difficult (and expensive) to distribute radical texts effectively. The free posting of these texts does not mean that the necessary energy and labor to produce them is no longer there. One can think of buying physical copies not as the purchase of commodities, but as a form of support or solidarity for an approach to knowledge production and engaged research (particularly when purchasing directly from the publisher). The open access nature of this publication means that you can: • read and store this document free of charge • distribute it for personal use free of charge • print sections of the work for personal use • read or perform parts of the work in a context where no financial transactions take place However, it is against the purposes of Minor Compositions open access approach to: • gain financially from the work • sell the work or seek monies in relation to the distribution of the work • use the work in any commercial activity of any kind • profit a third party indirectly via use or distribution of the work • distribute in or through a commercial body (with the exception of academic usage within educational institutions) The intent of Minor Compositions as a project is that any surpluses generated from the use of collectively produced literature are intended to return to further the development and production of further publications and writing: that which comes from the commons will be used to keep cultivating those commons.

  • We Don't Want Just One Cake, We Want the Whole Fuckin' Bakery!" Autonomy Meets Repression and Institutionalisation
    "WE DON'T WANT JUST ONE CAKE, WE WANT THE WHOLE FUCKIN' BAKERY!" AUTONOMY MEETS REPRESSION AND INSTITUTIONALISATION Luisa Rossini, azozomox & Galvão Debelle "How do we fight against property speculation and ownership, gentrification, and corporate public space with a legal social centre that has more in common with these things than not? How can we engender radicalism in our society if people's first point of contact with non-mainstream politics is a space built on compromise, which exists only because the state says it can?"1 Squatting practices have been mostly excluded by urban development discourses, defined as illegal situations of social deviance, a problem to solve through a repressive or 'normalising' approach, fostering pacification of radical urban conflicts (Colin, 2010; Debelle, 2015; Dee, 2016; Rossini, 2016). Meanwhile, spaces for negotiation have multiplied, since 'particularly during periods of systemic capitalist crisis, a period of institutional searching and regulatory experimentation ensues in which diverse actors, organizations, and alliances promote competing hegemonic visions, restructuring strategies, and developmental models' (Brenner & Theodore, 2002). We ground our analysis of institutionalisation/co-optation in previous debates among activists and academics studying social movements in general (Castells, 1983; Piven & Cloward, 1979) and squatting in particular (Domínguez et al., 2010; Martínez, 2014; Pruijt, 2003; Uitermark, 2004). We argue that these inclusionary strategies are selective and, thus, always accompanied by their counterpart: repression of the excluded –by choice or necessity. As seen in the previous chapters, the 'neoliberal restructuring project' (Brenner & Theodore, 2002) has been hegemonic over the past thirty years. Since the early 2000s, two main trends are relevant to understanding the different repertoires of action that both radical urban movements and the state develop.

  • Contemporary Co-Housing in Europe
    Contemporary Co-housing in Europe This book investigates co-housing as an alternative housing form in relation to sustainable urban development. Co-housing is often lauded as a more sustainable way of living. The primary aim of this book is to critically explore co-housing in the context of wider social, economic, political and environmental developments. This volume fills a gap in the literature by contextualising co-housing and related housing forms. With focus on Denmark, Sweden, Hamburg and Barcelona, the book presents general analyses of co-housing in these contexts and provides specificdiscus- sions of co-housing in relation to local government, urban activism, family life, spatial logics and socio-ecology. This book will be of interest to students and researchers in a broad range of social-scientific fields concerned with housing, urban development and sus- tainability, as well as to planners, decision-makers and activists. Pernilla Hagbert holds a PhD in Architecture and is currently a researcher at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden. Her research explores home- related practices and everyday life, interpretations of sustainability in housing and urban development, and norm-critical, alternative ways of living, as part of sustainability transitions. Henrik Gutzon Larsen teaches Human Geography at Lund University, Sweden. His research addresses urban geography and housing, political geo- graphy and history of geographical thought. Håkan Thörn is Full Professor of Sociology at University of Gothenburg, Sweden. His research is concerned with social movements, urban governance and globali- zation, and he has published a number of articles and books on these topics, including Urban Uprisings: Challenging Neoliberal Urbanism in Europe (co-edited, 2017) and Christiania 1971–2011: Space for Urban Alternatives (co-edited, 2011).

  • Final Thesis-Easton Koehler.Docx
    SENTIRES: LOOKING TOWARDS THE SOCIAL PROCESSES IN SPANISH OKUPAS FOR STRATEGIES OF NEIGHBORHOOD COHESION AND RE-DIRECTION OF DEVELOPMENT by CELIA ALICE EASTON KOEHLER A THESIS Presented to the Department of Geography and the Robert D. Clark Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts Fall, 2016 An Abstract of the Thesis of Celia Alice Easton Koehler for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in the Department of Geography to be taken October, 2016 “Sentires”: Looking Towards the Social Processes in Spanish Okupas for Strategies of Neighborhood Cohesion and Re-direction of Development. Approved: _______________________________________ Shaul Cohen Abstract: As a result of the logics of neo-liberal, global capitalism, urban citizens across the world face the regulation, commodification, and enclosure of public space. City governance responds to global financial pressures through “creative city” strategies and cuts to public services. This thesis looks at CSOA’s (Centros Sociales Okupados Autogrestionados, or Squatted Social Centers) in Spain and argues that they can be instigators of concrete neighborhood cohesion in a way that not only protests and combats the forces of neo-liberal development, but also proposes new forms of understanding and existing in urbanscapes. I do this through looking at CSOA’s as “counterspaces”; taking into account Lefebvre’s spatial triad, and using anarchist pedagogy as a lens, where experimental practices and then discourses are formed through and by horizontal “assemblies” and consensus based forms of decision making and look at how these processes incise and influence more formal or mainstream political institutions. Second, I utilize thick description to share an experience of the collectively organized transfeminist festival, Transfemifest, hosted at CSOA La Redonda in Granada Spain May 5-8 2016, as an example of how these spaces open up possibilities for the production of alternative knowledge.
