VQ 10 11 ENVIRONMENT ABANDONED: DECADENCE TO DECAY Story by Giulia Candussi We live in an era where it is easier and cheaper to throw old things away and buy new ones rather than fixing them. New things might have a higher mon- etary value, but what about the historical and sentimental value? Every building is a product of its own time, and reflects the style and level of technology from that period. Hospital buildings in particular change according to the progress of medicine and science. Up until the 1970’s for example it was a common belief that people diagnosed with mental illnesses should be kept well away from society. Only recently have we acknowledged that asylum patients suffered atrocities such as total isolation, sensory deprivation and electric shock. Fortunately treatment has improved since then, but by abandoning the build- ings where these practices were perpetrated is like erasing our past.

  • Kleiner Digitaler Vorgeschmack
    40 Folklorefeste – ein Jubiläum will verdient sein oder: 16 Jahre Initiative Folklorefest, denn 4 x 4 ist auch ein Grund zum Feiern Als sich in Deutschland die Zeit der großen Folk-Festivals wie Osna- brück, Ingelheim (inzwischen wieder aktiv) und Mainz schon wieder dem Ende zuneigte und als noch niemand ahnte, was einmal aus dem damals recht bescheidenen, inzwischen längst europaweit bedeutenden Folk- und Weltmusik-Festival in Rudolstadt werden würde, da begründeten die Krefelder ihr eigenes Festival der inter- nationalen Volksmusik. Aus den Krefelder Kulturtagen wurde am 19. August 1978 das Folklorefest. Helmut Kauert, der damalige Leiter des Kulturamts, rief es als nachbarschaftliche Begegnung zwischen der deutschen und der aus unterschiedlichsten Ländern zugewan- derten Bevölkerung Krefelds ins Leben. Nur ein einziges Mal wurde der Von-der-Leyen-Platz vor dem Rat- haus zum Schauplatz des bunten Treibens, ansonsten findet die Veranstaltung – immer am letzten Wochenende der großen Ferien – seit jeher bei freiem Eintritt auf dem Platz an der Alten Kirche statt. Dabei erhalten die Veranstalter jede Menge Unterstützung von der Gemeinde der Alten Kirche selbst. Sie stellt sogar ihre Räumlichkei- ten als Künstlergarderobe zur Verfügung, und das, obwohl das Folk- lorefest dem guten Pfarrer Manfred Bautz, inzwischen Ruheständler, 3 einmal den Zugang zu seinem „eigenen“ Gemeindehaus verwehrte. davon hatten sich Betty Köhncke, Maik Koll, Markus Kossack und Jörg Peter Odochtny, der pflichtbewusste Helfer, der den Zugang zum Meuther zum Church e.V. zusammengeschlossen und ein kulturelles abgeschlossenen Gebäude hütete, kannte nämlich den Pfarrer Nutzungskonzept für die Lutherkirche in Krefelds Süden erarbeitet, nicht, und weil dieser sein Ausweis-Armbändchen nicht bei sich die damals als Kirche geschlossen werden sollte.

  • Chumbawamba E O Caso Tubthumper – O Mainstream Como Estratégia
    Chumbawamba e o caso Tubthumper – O mainstream como estratégia Guy Amado – Novembro de 2005 "It is to be strongly established that the myth is a communication system, is message. […] The myth can always, in the end, signify the resistance made to it." Roland Barthes "It's time to create the pop stars of activism, the idoru of communication guerrilla, it's time to threaten and charm the masses, to play the myth against the myth, to be more nihilist than infoteinment !" Etoy "Knock hard, life is deaf." Mimi Parent A reboque da insuficiência e do relativismo que caracterizam a circulação do termo cultura tal como se efetiva nestes tempos "pós-tudo", chama a atenção o nicho de estudos e estratégias de mobilização que circulam sob a denominação genérica de resistência cultural . Na medida em que a própria noção-base de cultura se apresenta de maneira cada vez mais vaga e diluída, sendo referida de maneira rasa e instrumentalizada e cooptada de modo oportunista na legitimação de ideologias e programas universalistas, a idéia de "resistir" apresentaria-se igualmente relativizada. É possível, contudo, divisar o que poderia ser descrito como um espectro heterogêneo de correntes do pensamento contemporâneo e mesmo de ações práticas que se contrapõem ou se interessam em analisar o cenário e adotar um posicionamento crítico frente a esse estado das coisas. De Noam Chomsky a Hakim Bey, passando por releituras de, entre tantos outros, Guy Debord e Nietzsche, toda uma gama de pensadores têm influenciado os que vêem na tecnologia e na internet – esta,

  • 4.5 DANCES with AGITATORS What Is ‘Anarchist Music’?
    4.5 DANCES WITH AGITATORS What Is ‘Anarchist Music’? Jim Donaghey Introduction Robin Ballinger argues that ‘[m]usic is neither transcendental nor trivial, but inhibits a site where hegemonic processes are contested’ (in Sakolsky and Ho (eds.), 1995: 14) – in other words, music matters. However, music (and culture more widely) is often viewed as being of minor importance within social movements, as something coincidental rather than fun- damental. Consideration of anarchism and music contributes to an understanding of the complex relationships between culture and radical politics more widely, while challenging those narrow conceptions of radicalism that fail to take cultural aspects into account. This chapter points to the core role of culture (and music) in social movements, and the rec- ognition of this importance across a wide spectrum of anarchist perspectives. The chapter then considers evaluations of ‘anarchist music’, identifying the aspects which are too easily recuperated by the State and capital (such as aesthetics and lyrics), and highlighting those aspects which contain radical transformative potential (such as Do-It-Yourself or DIY produc- tion processes – though this is necessarily marginal in character and scope). A transforma- tion is not a fixed entity; it only operates in relation to an a priori situation. Evaluation of ‘anarchist music’ in terms of transformation is therefore alive to shifting contexts, and does not impose a particular set of criteria – yet, it still usefully problematises any claim of a particular music as being ‘anarchist’. However, no form of music (in terms of its aesthetic or production process) is entirely immune to co-optation, and it is argued here that music’s radical transformative potential is most fully realised, and most resilient, when engaged within a culture of resistance.
