Many thanks to the 2019 Local Organizing Committee for their efforts in hosting our meetings and planning many exciting events. As usual, the work of the Section and Working Group heads has been fundamental in planning our program and is greatly appreciated. Thanks also to our many partners and supporters. We look forward to stimulating and productive discussions. The program includes a range of plenary panels and special sessions, which promise to be intriguing, thought-provoking, and provocative. We will be awarding several special awards during the conference, including the IAMCR Prize in Memory of Herbert I.

Congratulations to the winners of these awards, as well as to the recipients of this year’s Travel Grants. Best wishes and enjoy Madrid! Janet Wasko, President IAMCR 4 ¡BIENVENIDOS A MADRID! The School of Communication of the Complutense University of Madrid is proud to host the IAMCR Conference, which will be held from 7 to 11 July, 2019. Our School has pioneered the teaching of communication in Spain and aspires to be a reference not only in terms of prestige and quality but also of innovation. It was created in 1971 and, since 1974, its home has been one of the landmark buildings of Madrid, an example of European brutalist architecture; facilities have been renovated and include television studios, radio stations, multimedia lecture theaters, digital cameras and host of other technical media available to students. The School teaches courses in Audio Visual Communication, Journalism and Advertising and Public Relations at both graduate and post-graduate level, many of which, according to acknowledged rankings, are among the best in Europe. Throughout its 48 years of history, over 60,000 professionals have studied in our lecture halls; today they are now cinema directors, producers, advertising experts, communications managers or occupy other relevant posts in the communication sector. Our School has the largest number of students in the area of Communication in Spain with over 6,000 students, taught by a 250 strong team of faculty. For all of us, it is with great pride that we welcome the 2019 IAMCR Conference, the core theme of which is “Communication, technology and human dignity”. The program of the conference includes over 32 thematic sections and working groups, in addition to pre- and post-conference scientific activities, and a wide range of cultural activities. I sincerely wish you a most enjoyable stay at our School and in the city of Madrid: we extend our warmest welcome to you all. ¡Bienvenidos a Madrid! Jorge Clemente Mediavilla, Decano 5 DEAR COLLEAGUES AND FRIENDS, At last, the time has come for us to open up our School to you and welcome you to Madrid from 7th thru 11th July for the IAMCR Conference. The team which has been working with me throughout this time, especially Professors Arturo Gómez, Mª José Canel, José Antonio San Román and Sabela Serrano, along with the Technical Secretariat (Angeles de Andrés, Marianna Herrera and Daniel Ackerman), the Communications Department (Elisa Brey, Ignacio Bel) and our own creative Department (with Giorgio di Marchis) is confident that the program of sessions will be most enriching; we all hope that you will enjoy both the academic program of plenary sessions and the program of cultural, leisure and culinary activities which we have prepared. We are also deeply indebted to the Deans of the School, Dr. Jorge Clemente, the current Dean, who has presided over the LOC and the former Dean, who, together with the Board of the School, gave their enthusiastic support to this project back in 2016 (under the leadership of Carmen Pérez de Armiñán), to the Management Office (Marina Sanz), to the personnel of Administration and Services and to an untold number of doctoral and other students who will be always ready to help you during the coming days. We consider it a privilege to be able to host in our centuries-old Complutense University, in one of the most attractive parkland areas of Madrid, this edition of IAMCR, which will have a prestigious attendance of members from 80 countries. We hope that our preparations are up to the challenge. With very best wishes. Loreto Corredoira, Director 6 ABOUT THE CONFERENCE IAMCR conferences address a wide diversity of topics defined by our 29 thematic sections and working groups. We also propose a single central theme to be explored throughout the conference with the aim of generating and exploring multiple perspectives on a shared set of issues. This is ac- complished through plenaries and special sessions, and in the meetings of the sections and working groups. For IAMCR 2019, the central theme is Communication, Technology, and Human Dignity: Disputed Rights, Contested Truths. The 2019 IAMCR Conference focuses around Also, the Conference will examine how new the role of communication in fulfilling the communication methods and technologies Preamble of the Paris Declaration (UN, 1948), are diminishing the influence of objective which states that “recognition of the inhe- facts in shaping public opinion and are rent dignity and of the equal and inalienable increasing the appeal to emotions.

  • Targets That Exist Everywhere
    Targets that exist everywhere a strategic proposal for building a common front against the profiteers of war and repression Targets that exist everywhere – a strategic proposal for building a common front against the profiteers of war and repression Rapidly, time marches on; we are already in the 2nd year of the Covid-19 state of emergency and, knowing that no power will ever voluntarily relinquish its new mechanisms of control, anarchist and other libertarian movements all over the globe are looking for strategies and practical means against it. In some regions, social tensions have recently erupted into riots. Elsewhere, there are short-lived outbreaks known as Corona Riots. As anarchists, we are often surprised by the dynamics, sometimes finding ourselves in the crowd of the street battles or perplexed as spectators on the sidelines. Almost every state deals with us, small groups or individuals, sabotaging, agitating and roaming restless in the cities. With the desire to finally cross the threshold from symbolic resistance to material damage to the enemy infrastructure and their tools of power. In addition to the direct confrontation with the pigs, it seems necessary to identify and disconcert the individual cogs of their machine. There is no other way to overcome the balance of power; metropolises, which in recent years have been more frequently devastated by social struggles, general strikes and riots, have relatively quickly recovered with their arrogance. But we are still too often sliding into randomness instead of tearing apart the weaker links in the chain of oppression and their profiteers. Curfews, police killings, gentrification, ecological terrorism, war against the own population and against foreign countries - the system gives us daily occasions to look for targets whose continuous destruction may at some point be more than a figure in the balance sheet or a report in the press.

  • The Case of Athens
    Uniconflicts 61 05 Crisis ridden space, knowledge production and social struggles: The case of Athens Stefania Gyftopoulou PhD Candidate in Geography, Harokopio University e-mail: [email protected] Asimina Paraskevopoulou PhD Candidate in Development Planning, University College London e-mail: [email protected] 1. CRISIS 1.1. ‘Crisis’ as critique and knowledge The word, ‘crisis’ comes from the Greek verb ‘Krinein’ which means to judge, to form an opinion, to criticize. Crisis does not predefine a specific response. It is the act and the outcome of the critique; the mental act that leads to a response. Accordingly, cri- tique comes from the Greek noun ‘kritiki’. ‘Kritiki’ is carried out in order for ‘krinein’ to take place. Thus, crisis cannot truly exist without the act of critique. Roitman (2011: para 6) provides an enlightening explanation of “how crisis is constructed as an object of knowledge”. It is a 62 Crisis ridden space means to think of history as a narrative of events, politics, culture, relationships and even individual behaviours and norms. It works as a means to judge the past and learn from the past. But when she speaks of judging the past, is she not referring to the act of critique? Foucault asks for a critique that does not plainly evalu- ate whether the object is good or bad, correct or wrong. He speaks of a critique as a practice, producing along this process, different realities - values and truths - hence, a new ‘normalcy’. Thus, crisis is about becoming. 1.2. Crisis as subject formation and governmentality Through the production of ‘truths’ and ‘normalcy’ crisis influenc- es our understanding not only of ourselves but also of the posi- tion we hold in our societies.

  • A Eurocentric Study of New Terrorism
    Lunds universitet FKVK02 Statsvetenskapliga institutionen VT20 Freds- och konfliktvetenskap Handledare: Isabel Bramsen A Eurocentric Study of New Terrorism Assessing New Terrorism´s validity and applicability in describing European terrorism 2010-2018 using quantitative research. Henrik Lindholm 19970330–1193 Characters: 69 977 1 Lunds universitet FKVK02 Statsvetenskapliga institutionen VT20 Freds- och konfliktvetenskap Handledare: Isabel Bramsen Abstract New Terrorism has been a highly regarded theory in the field of terrorism since the late 1990s, but how accurate is it in regards to European terrorism in 2010-2018? Are terrorists more lethal, primarily religious, part of transnational and decentralized organizations, and are they using CBRN-weapons? This paper uses a quantitative study, with a descriptive and retroductive approach, of all terror attacks in Europe 2010- 2018, to examine New Terrorisms’ validity, and propose possible changes to the theory. I find that New Terrorism is partly correct. Terror groups are primarily transnational and non-hierarchical and lethality is higher than in the early 90s, although less so in Western Europe. Separatist groups are however found to be the most common type of movement, followed by ideological movements – responsible for 4 and 2 times as many terror attacks as religious groups. Likewise, the potential threat of terrorists using CBRN-weapons for mass destruction is found to be incorrect. Based on this, New Terrorism 2.0, Europe edition is proposed. Stating that separatist and ideological groups are the most common, lethality is high (but less so in Western Europe), organizations are primarily transnational and non-hierarchical, and the risk of terrorist using CBRN-weapons is low in contemporary European terrorism.

Logan University of Nebraska, 2020 Advisor: Dr. Gina Ligon Abstract This dissertation draws on gang organization research and organizational theory to assess the underlying dimensions of organization in terrorist groups. Using the Leadership for the Extreme and Dangerous for Innovative Results (LEADIR) dataset, findings suggest that organization is a multidimensional construct in terrorist groups, including the structuring of activities dimension and the concentration of authority dimension. In relation to violence, terrorist groups high on the structuring of activities dimension were significantly more lethal in general and more lethal when attacking hard targets, whereas terrorist groups high on the concentration of authority dimension attacked hard targets at a significantly higher rate.

  • Slippery Slope
    SLIPPERY SLOPE Tassos Symeonides (RIEAS Academic Advisor) Copyright: Research Institute for European and American Studies (www.rieas.gr) Publication date: 17 November 2018 Note: The article reflects the opinion of the author and not necessarily the views of the Research Institute for European and American Studies (RIEAS). Ever since the return to parliamentary rule in 1974, Greece has been struggling against an ineradicable “low intensity” crisis of domestic terrorism and anarchist violence. The crisis ebbs and flows as governments come and go delivering empty rhetoric on how “violence won’t be tolerated irrespective of its source.” But, in reality, anarcho-terrorist violence is not only tolerated but, according to the politics of the day, is given room to wiggle, maneuver, and grow. More recently, however, lawlessness, street violence, and open defiance of law and order have grown into an epidemic that exceeds even the pliable Greek standards of what “public order” means. With the radical far-left SYRIZA government in the role of a yawning disinterested spectator, if not-so-camouflaged encourager, street anarchists, urban terrorists, common criminals borrowing the mantle of “people’s fighters,” and other opportunistic outlaws have escalated their attacks beyond any already established shameful standard. Indeed, the situation has deteriorated to a point where even the normally “understanding” “average” Greeks have become deeply fearful of falling victim to the daily acts of violence perpetrated by both “common” criminals and the various politically motivated thugs. SYRIZA’s accession to power in 2015 triggered a geometrical increase of anarcho- terrorist violence. This is no surprise; SYRIZA’s core membership originates in street anarchism and communist radicalization.

  • Greece: Extremism and Terrorism
    Greece: Extremism and Terrorism On December 17, 2019, two arsonists were arrested on terrorism-related charges for attempting to attack the offices of the extreme-right Golden Dawn party. The suspects, whose names have yet to be reported, carried out two separate attacks—one in central Athens in May 2019 and one right outside the capital in November 2019. The Durruti Brigades, named after the late Spanish anarchist leader Buenaventura Durruti, claimed responsibility for the first attack, while the second has yet to be claimed. Both attacks involved assailants lunging Molotov cocktails and gas canisters at the party’s offices which resulted in property damage but no casualties. Anarchists and far-left militant groups often target courts and government offices and have recently focused their attention on countering Golden Dawn. Founded on Neo-Nazi ideology in the 1980s, Golden Dawn has since fallen out of favor with the Greek public. Additionally, as of the July 2019 election, the party lost all of its seats in the Greek Parliament. Since 2013, dozens of the party’s leaders and members are on trial facing charges of the murder of anti-Fascist artist Pavlos Fyassas and of running a criminal gang. (Sources: Associated Press, The National Herald, AMW English) On November 13, 2015, ISIS operatives launched the deadliest modern terrorist attack in Western Europe, killing 130 people and wounding 350 more in near-simultaneous bomb and gun attacks throughout Paris. The attacks were later found to have been organized in part by Abdelhamid Abaaoud, who reportedly directed the operatives by phone from his base in Greece.

Organized police operations in public space were turned into ‘media events’. Specifically, ‘affective precarity’ is considered as a way of demobilizing precarity as a politically and economically operative concept. The article adopts Lauren Berlant’s analysis of the relation between precarity and the austerity state. Keywords Affective precarity, Athens, crisis spectacle, Greek crisis, Lauren Berlant, media events, mediatization, precarity, public space An early version of this article was presented at the conference Inverting Globalization in October 2014 in Amsterdam (The Netherlands), as part of a panel that aimed at re-evaluating precarity as a politically operative concept (see also Neilson and Rossiter, 2008).
