  • Squatted Social Centres in England and Italy in the Last Decades of the Twentieth Century
    Squatted social centres in England and Italy in the last decades of the twentieth century. Giulio D’Errico Thesis submitted for the degree of PhD Department of History and Welsh History Aberystwyth University 2019 Abstract This work examines the parallel developments of squatted social centres in Bristol, London, Milan and Rome in depth, covering the last two decades of the twentieth century. They are considered here as a by-product of the emergence of neo-liberalism. Too often studied in the present tense, social centres are analysed here from a diachronic point of view as context- dependent responses to evolving global stimuli. Their ‗journey through time‘ is inscribed within the different English and Italian traditions of radical politics and oppositional cultures. Social centres are thus a particularly interesting site for the development of interdependency relationships – however conflictual – between these traditions. The innovations brought forward by post-modernism and neo-liberalism are reflected in the centres‘ activities and modalities of ‗social‘ mobilisation. However, centres also voice a radical attitude towards such innovation, embodied in the concepts of autogestione and Do-it-Yourself ethics, but also through the reinstatement of a classist approach within youth politics. Comparing the structured and ambitious Italian centres to the more informal and rarefied English scene allows for commonalities and differences to stand out and enlighten each other. The individuation of common trends and reciprocal exchanges helps to smooth out the initial stark contrast between local scenes. In turn, it also allows for the identification of context- based specificities in the interpretation of local and global phenomena.

  • Cadenza Generalized Political Activism
    15 Schengen, Alta, The Mass Action of the Police, and a Summit in the EU Four relatively “modern” events have taken place in my life which have changed my work from an emphasis on prisons and criminal policy to Cadenza generalized political activism. Such events have always been there and been woven into my initiatives in criminal policy, but the four initiatives to be discussed below have made such an impression on me that I find it A Professional Autobiography necessary to tell a little more about them. I was in a sense dragged into them, one by one, and they ended as four major “columns” in my later life. The first event was the development of the Schengen arrangement within the EU. The Schengen arrangement has a long history, and goes back to the years right after World War II. The Schengen arrangement, which today is falling more or less apart, may possibly be rebuilt in the Thomas Mathiesen future. I took part in it from the outside with a long series of newspaper with the assistance of articles and at a number of meetings in Norway and elsewhere. The Schengen arrangement is a key factor in the development of the EU. To be Snorre Smári Mathiesen sure, my country Norway is not a member of the EU, but economically and otherwise definitely tied to it. Norway was and is therefore in practice an EU-member, though without formal decision-making power. In connection with Schengen I have written something about my two children, two twin boys, because they partly belong to that period.

  • Ethnographies of Waiting
    3 Time and the Other: Waiting and Hope among Irregular Migrants Synnøve Bendixsen and Tomas Hylland Eriksen Once I placed a glass over a bee and imprisoned it. It wandered around in the glass for two days until it understood that there was no way out and then decided that there was nothing to do but sit in a corner motionless and wait and wait, not knowing what it was waiting for. –Orhan Pamuk, Silent House, 2012: 25 If, by chance or necessity, your wanderings in Oslo took you past St James Church (Jakobskirken) in Hausmannsgata between April 2011 and October 2012, you would inevitably have noticed a clutch of seven or eight green and white, big and small tents, placed next to the church, on a lawn between a bus stop and the river Akerselva. The area encompassed by this improvised camp was cordoned off with broad, white tape, and the entrance was adorned with photos of crying people in what appeared to be a war zone, along with a white sign proclaiming ‘WELCOME TO THE PALESTINIAN REFUGEE CAMP!’ above a Palestinian flag. A large banner carrying the slogan ‘No humans are illegal’, black letters on red fabric, faced the street, facilitating legibility for passers-by. If you were to have ventured into the camp, you would have been likely to have been welcomed by a young Palestinian who explained that this was presently his home, and that of twenty-four other men. Visitors were often offered a cup of sweet mint tea, shared, perhaps, with a youth from a pro-Palestinian group, a student, a Norwegian neighbour or a sympathiser who dropped by with money, food, clothes, furniture or news and a bit of encouragement.

    'Squatting Is A Part OF The HousinG Movement' PRACTICAL SQUATTING HISTORIES 1969 - 2019 'Squatting Is Part Of The Housing Movement' ‘...I learned how to crack window panes with a hammer muffled in a sock and then to undo the catch inside. Most houses were uninhabit- able, for they had already been dis- embowelled by the Council. The gas and electricity were disconnected, the toilets smashed...Finally we found a house near King’s Cross. It was a disused laundry, rather cramped and with a shopfront window...That night we changed the lock. Next day, we moved in. In the weeks that followed, the other derelict houses came to life as squatting spread. All the way up Caledonian Road corrugated iron was stripped from doors and windows; fresh paint appeared, and cats, flow- erpots, and bicycles; roughly printed posters offered housing advice and free pregnancy testing...’ Sidey Palenyendi and her daughters outside their new squatted home in June Guthrie, a character in the novel Finsbury Park, housed through the ‘Every Move You Make’, actions of Haringey Family Squat- ting Association, 1973 Alison Fell, 1984 Front Cover: 18th January 1969, Maggie O’Shannon & her two children squatted 7 Camelford Rd, Notting Hill.

Doctoral Dissertations. 407. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations/407 Abstract: National Identity at the Margins of Europe: History, Affect and Museums in Slovenia Robert Allen Booth, Ph.D. University of Connecticut 2014 This study examines the historical and idiographic aspects of national identity in Slovenia and brings empirical data to bear on the question of the effect of museums and their identity narratives on citizen museum attendees. Museums have often been portrayed as such sites of identity construction and as important state-making and state-maintaining institutions that educate citizens on the history and heritage of nationhood and nationality. This empirical data is coupled with ethnographic and discourse analytic approaches to demonstrate that the apprehension of identity is predicated on broader historical, socio-political, emotional, moral and economic aspects of society. This dissertation specifically engages four questions: (1) If museums are conduits for societal “memory work”, “place making” and identity building, as is often claimed,
