It’s a shame that these activities and (sometimes slow) processes receive little care in current aca- demia. Besides inspiring students, I have met many dear colleagues at my department and especially hope to continue my collaboration with Annette Freyberg-Inan, Eelke Heemskerk, Marlies Glasius, Maruja Bobo Remijn, Marcel Maussen, Frances Gouda, Boris Slijper, and Chris Bickerton. From the first moment I met her, Saskia Poldervaart has remained an inspiration. Throughout my undergraduate and graduate years, she has been a source of instruction, motivation, and (productive) confusion. Her attempt to think politics (without the capital letter) from the perspective of social movements and daily life are hopefully reflected in this work. Jan Willem Duyvendak has been a rigorous supervisor and commenter of my work. He challenged me many times to push my initial analysis of summit protests further and elaborate on my critique of conventional approaches to social movements. I am also thankful to my former colleagues at the Amsterdam School for Social Science Research—Victor Toom, Jasper Blom, Malini Sur, Silke Heumann, Nazima Kadir, and Ana Miskovska Kajevska—for discussing, disputing, and sharing with me. Laurence Cox’s extensive comments as well as two anonymous reviews have been very helpful in turning my manuscript into a book. Thanks also here to the Nederlandse Organisatie voor Weten- schappelijk Onderzoek, who funded my research project for four years, and to Nancy Naples, Beth Bouloukos, and Diane Ganeles from State University of New York Press for their excellent cooperation. Transnational networks and weak ties have again been proven to work. My work has greatly benefited from the theoretical insights and critical eyes ix 33835_SP_SCH_FM_00i-xiv.indd 9 10/26/12 12:29 PM x Acknowledgments of Ron Eyerman, Michael Mann, Jeff Goodwin, Doug McAdam, Dieter Rucht, and Rosanne Rutten, who commented on my work in various phases. They all have enriched my conceptual thinking and my ability to relate my own findings to various theoretical discussions. Next to these incidental but intensive encounters, throughout the past years, I have enjoyed regular activist-intellectual contact. AK Thompson, Emma Dowling, Amory Starr, Luis Fernandez, Marianne Maeckelbergh, Matthias Monroy, and Tadzio Mueller have all helped me to shape these ideas through constant debate, reflection, and the reading of each other’s work. Susan Stocker has been the most impressive editor I can imagine. It is tempting to say that, if this is a good read at all, it’s her fault. Special thanks go to my family. Although my parents keep wondering where my activist engagement comes from, they should know better. They continue to be an inspiration as critics, pedagogues, and humans. And if anyone is responsible for me ever finishing this book, it is Joanna; her sup- port and good energy goes without comparison. Cooperation with activist groups has been pivotal for this research. I am especially indebted to the Gipfelsoli Infogruppe. Their extensive archive and expertise has been of great value. I will always remember the passion for historical detail of the group around Globalinfo, as well as the always friendly assistance of the Fort van Sjakoo bookshop in finding the weirdest book titles. Keep up the great work! Mentioning a few names surely does not really tell how indebted I am to all of you out there on the barricades. For all those not mentioned here, remember, identification means control . 33835_SP_SCH_FM_00i-xiv.indd 10 10/26/12 12:29 PM Abbreviations ASEM summit Asia Europe Meeting ATTAC Association pour la Taxation des Transactions financières pour l’Aide aux Citoyennes et citoyens (Association for the Taxation of Financial Transactions for the Aid of Citizens) BAO Kavala Besondere Aufbauorganisation Kavala (special police department for the 2007 G8 in Germany) BND Bundesnachrichtendienst (foreign intelligence agency of Germany) CIRCA Clandestine Insurgent Rebel Clown Army CN gas Phenacyl chloride.

Only renegades would say: it’s outdated. But even if the event is ancient, it can never be outdated: it is an opening to the possible. It goes as much inside individuals as in the depths of society.

  • Beyond Social Democracy in West Germany?
    BEYOND SOCIAL DEMOCRACY IN WEST GERMANY? William Graf I The theme of transcending, bypassing, revising, reinvigorating or otherwise raising German Social Democracy to a higher level recurs throughout the party's century-and-a-quarter history. Figures such as Luxemburg, Hilferding, Liebknecht-as well as Lassalle, Kautsky and Bernstein-recall prolonged, intensive intra-party debates about the desirable relationship between the party and the capitalist state, the sources of its mass support, and the strategy and tactics best suited to accomplishing socialism. Although the post-1945 SPD has in many ways replicated these controversies surrounding the limits and prospects of Social Democracy, it has not reproduced the Left-Right dimension, the fundamental lines of political discourse that characterised the party before 1933 and indeed, in exile or underground during the Third Reich. The crucial difference between then and now is that during the Second Reich and Weimar Republic, any significant shift to the right on the part of the SPD leader- ship,' such as the parliamentary party's approval of war credits in 1914, its truck under Ebert with the reactionary forces, its periodic lapses into 'parliamentary opportunism' or the right rump's acceptance of Hitler's Enabling Law in 1933, would be countered and challenged at every step by the Left. The success of the USPD, the rise of the Spartacus move- ment, and the consistent increase in the KPD's mass following throughout the Weimar era were all concrete and determined reactions to deficiences or revisions in Social Democratic praxis. Since 1945, however, the dynamics of Social Democracy have changed considerably.

  • Reclaim the Streets, the Protestival and the Creative Transformation of the City
    Finisterra, XLVii, 94, 2012, pp. 103-118103 RECLAIM THE STREETS, THE PROTESTIVAL aND THE CREaTiVE TRaNSFoRMaTioN oF THE CiTY anDré carMo1 abstract – the main goal of this article is to reflect upon the relationship between creativity and urban transformation. it stems from the assumption that creativity has a para- doxical nature as it is simultaneously used for the production of the neoliberal city and by those seeking to challenge it and build alternative urban realities. first, we put forth a criti- cal review of the creative city narrative, focused on richard florida’s work, as it progres- sively became fundamental for the neoliberal city. afterwards, and contrasting with that dominant narrative, we describe a trajectory of Reclaim the Streets that provides the basis for our discussion of the protestival (protest + carnival) as its main creative force of urban transformation. Keywords: Creativity, urban transformation, Reclaim the Streets, protestival. Resumo – reclaiM the streets, o protestival e a transForMação criativa Da ciDaDe. O principal objetivo deste artigo é refletir sobre a relação existente entre criativi- dade e transformação urbana. Parte-se do princípio de que a criatividade tem uma natureza paradoxal, na medida em que é simultaneamente usada para a produção da cidade neolibe- ral, mas também por aqueles que procuram desafiá-la e construir realidades urbanas alter- nativas. Primeiro, fazemos uma revisão crítica da narrativa da cidade criativa, focada no trabalho de richard florida, por esta se ter progressivamente tornado fundamental para a cidade neoliberal. Depois, e contrastando com essa narrativa dominante, descrevemos uma trajetória do Reclaim the Streets que providencia a base para a nossa discussão do protesti- val (protesto + carnaval) como a sua principal força criativa de transformação urbana.

It is meant to disseminate what we have deemed important information throughout our studies. This information may be used as a tool for all people, women in particular, who wish to dismantle the oppressions they face externally, and within their own lives. We are two men and one woman attempting to grasp at how we can deconstruct the patriarchal foundations upon which we perceive an unjust society has been built. We hope that at least some component of this work will be found useful to a variety of readers. This Zine is meant to be an introduction into anarcha-feminism, its origins, applications, and potentials. Buen provecho! We acknowledge that anarcha-feminism has historically been a western theory; thus, unfortunately, much of this ziners content reflects this limitation. However, we have included some information and analysis on worldwide anarcha-feminists as well as global women's struggles which don't necessarily identify as anarchist.

  • 1 Conceptualising Horizontal Politics Eloїse Harding Thesis Submitted To
    Conceptualising Horizontal Politics Eloїse Harding Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2012 1 Abstract This project investigates the likelihood of a distinctive ideology emerging from what are known as ‘horizontal’ political movements – those which, in brief, aim to operate non-hierarchically guided by principles such as affinity – and furthermore to identify the potential components of such an ideology. The methodology is broadly based on that developed by Freeden, namely an analysis of the conceptual morphology of the ideas put out by horizontal movements. The sources used derive largely from the output of the movements themselves in various forms. I conclude that horizontal politics does have a recognisable ideological configuration, and that this is distinctive from other related ideologies such as anarchism. 2 Contents Introduction 4 Ideology: A Thematic History 31 The Background Literature 55 Hierarchy 76 Organisation 113 Power 145 Culture 176 Conclusion 203 Appendix 1 214 Appendix 2 215 Appendix 3 216 Bibliography 217 3 Introduction Aims, objectives and questions In general terms, this project aims to identify and examine the central ideas of the variety of political movement generally termed ‘horizontal’, and establish whether this political outlook constitutes a distinctive ideology. The question under discussion here is how such movements attempt to distinguish themselves. This investigation begins with the output of various elements of the horizontal ‘movement of movements’. The distinguishing features of such movements will be discussed in terms firstly of ethos and tactics and secondly of more theory-based reflections: both elements feed in to an overall investigation based on Freeden’s conceptualisation of an ideology as containing elements of both theory and practice.
