European Social Forum 4 06 July 2006 Article
1. Rethinking politics in an era of networks and movements European Social Forum (Room E 101) Friday, 5 May 2006 With the deepening crisis of the political system, are radical networks facing a challenge as transformative actors – a challenge that requires a new stage in their development? What role, if any, do parties have in a plural process of transformation? And how far can they themselves transform? What lessons so far about how we create and sustain useful spaces for the diversity of actors to co-ordnate and contaminate? Speakers include: Peter Rauschenberger ( Protect the Future; Hungary ) Pedro Ivo de Batista (Terrazul and Brazil) Marco Berlinguer (Transform! Italia); Sophie Gosselin (APO 33 France) José Luiz Del Roio (International Council WSF - Associazione Culturale Punto Rosso - Italia) François Houtart (International Council WSF - Forum mondiale des alternatives) Moderators: Tracey Wheatley (Protect the Future); Hilary Wainwright (Transnational Institute) Participating organisations: Protect the Future; Transform!Italia; Initiatives for Another Europe + Terrazul; Punto Russo, Fronesis, Transnational Institute 2. The challenges of creating a critical transnational media Seminar at European Social Forum, 5 May 2006 Launch of Eurotopia No. 3 [PDF] Transnational movements need a transnational media. Such a media is emerging, in many different, innovative ways: through the web like Indymedia; through an alternative TV channel like Tele Sud in Latin America; through modest and experimental forms of collaboration like Eurotopia. But they face many problems of resources; hostile distribution and political systems; language and differences in journalistic and political culture ...how do we overcome them? what is the political role of this critical media? how can Eurotopia become an effective resource for movements across Europe? What lessons from experiences so far? Speakers include: Tariq Ali (New Left Review, Tele Sud) Panos Labrou (Epohi) speakers from Indy media and Carta, Red Pepper, Iprog and other partners in Eurotopia 3.
