A to Z: The Precarious Alphabet of War
War, in the broadest sense, is a battle about the power to define and definitions, that are not carried out at the center of words but at their very margins. But what can words do, as soon as the state of war has become a rule and a normality worldwide?

Paolo Gerbaudo, Tweets and the Streets: Social Media and Contemporary Activism
"Tweets and the Streets analyses the culture of the new protest movements of the 21st century. From the Arab Spring to the "indignados" protests in Spain and the Occupy movement, Paolo Gerbaudo examines the relationship between the rise of social media and the emergence of new forms of protest. Gerbaudo argues that activists' use of Twitter and Facebook does not fit with the image of a "cyberspace" detached from physical reality. Instead, social media is used as part of a project of re-appropriation of public space, which involves the assembling of different groups around "occupied" places such as Cairo's Tahrir Square or New York's Zuccotti Park."
No One is Illegal! Manifesto
For a world without borders! No immigration controls!
DEFEND THE OUTLAW!
Immigration controls should be abolished. People should not be deemed 'illegal' because they have fallen foul of an increasingly brutal and
repressive system of controls. Why is immigration law different from
all other law? Under all other laws it is the act that is illegal, but
under immigration law it is the person who is illegal. Those subject to
immigration control are dehumanized, are reduced to non-persons, are
nobodies. They are the modern outlaw. Like their medieval counterpart
they exist outside of the law and outside of the law's protection.
Opposition to immigration controls requires defending all immigration
outlaws.

ReadThe End of a Paradise
In tactical media circles the Amsterdam media landscape has long been treated as a Utopian model because of her free radios, open tv-channels and digital public spaces. The last few years this media paradise is under threat. How did this come about? And is it still possible to reverse this development? This is the theme of the Amsterdam Media Debate. Nina Meilof (The Digital City - DDS), Andreas Baader and Josephine (Radio Patapoe), Frank (Radio de Vrije Keyser) and media-activists Patrice Riemens, Geert Lovink and Menno Grootveld prepared the grounds for the discussion.
The aim of the Amsterdam Media Debate during The Next 5 Minutes is to explain to the international participants that big changes are underway here. They may perhaps learn something from our experiences, but we would also like to try and find out what the differences are with other big cities and with other countries. What are these big changes and how is the situation at the present moment?

A Body for Cultures in Ruin
For Whom It May Concern,
We would like you to read this document and respond to this idea. It
was our wish and motivation to consider a format which could
accommodate certain situations in which countries and cultures find
themselves in these days. Ever increasingly, we are witnessing the
phenomena of ruined nation states, crashing financial markets and
bankrupt governments. So far, this is only interpreted in the usual
journalistic way of reporting the political and financial aspects of
the crises. But we, cultural workers, know better. It is only perceived
as 'news'. Arts and culture in this situation are the last to be
considered contemporary, sensitive instruments that could express the
'signs of the times'. First of all culture is a prime target of budget
cuts and this has become the only language in which officials can
speak. Art, by definition, is always in a defensive role and cannot
make demands. We do not like to further the culture of complaint, nor
is this the right time to dream up new utopias. We propose to radically
face current global economic forces. We want to intervene in their
sphere. Culture should not be left out: condemned to compensate for and
be at the receiving end of this trauma.
