[spectre] a terrible day
Dear friends, after the build-up of the last days and weeks, this morning we woke up to a terrible new situation. The Russian attack on Ukraine is a catastrophe, for the people and the country of Ukraine, and thus for Europe, and I believe also for Russia. This war will not only bring futile and awful destruction, but it will also change many things, not only in the Ukrainian territories now under attack. I'm writing to open up this space for debate. You may have other channels for such discussions elsewhere (... it has been more than twenty years ago that the Syndicate list, the precursor to Spectre, was an important channel for such discussions during the conflict in Kosovo and the NATO attacks on Serbia). But this list, with its legacy of reflecting the diversity and solidarity of artists and cultural practitioners in "Deep Europe" and beyond, is certainly available for exchange, analysis and coordination if required. If there are people here on the list who can report about the situation in Ukraine, they may want to inform their international colleagues about what forms of help and solidarity might be useful. And if there are people (especially in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, etc.) who would like to write anonymously, please, feel free to write to me and I will anonymise and forward any reasonable messages.

Re: [spectre] anti eurasian integration: splitting germany from russia
I was counting down the seconds until receiving this crap (from this person). My thoughts are with multiple friends and colleagues of mine from Ukraine who are fearing for their country, their families and friends. Fuck everyone gaslighting and/or eating the Russian propaganda. Signed off from the thread, .h.h.

Re: [spectre] diverse voices on Eurotopics
Thank you for your first message and this one, Andreas. We are going to get a lot of trolling but we are accustomed to that, right? I was, I am, feeling so useless and powerless. I don't want to add noise to noise. I am grateful that you opened the discussion. Syndicate has been very important in its time.

Yes thank you so much Andreas, I think we all need a bit of time to digest this- what happens here is not just something with unprecedented geopolitical implications, but also runs right through (Ukranian / Russian) families.

Re: [spectre] a terrible day
Putin and Russian fascism will have to face trial for crimes against humanity, but now what is needed is a strong European and International unity against this brutal and unjustifiable agression to stop, once for ever, the criminal Putin.

[spectre] Más allá del derecho de autor/Beyond the Author's Rights - new OA book from Open Humanities Press
Open Humanities Press is pleased to announce the publication, in Spanish only, of Más allá del derecho de autor: Otros términos para debatir la propiedad intelectual (Beyond the Author's Rights: Debating Intellectual Property in Other Terms) editado por Alberto López Cuenca and Renato Bermúdez Dini Like all Open Humanities Press books, Más allá del derecho de autor is available to download for free: http://www.openhumanitiespress.org/books/titles/mas-alla-del-derecho-de-autor/ El 1 de julio de 2020 entró en vigor una reforma a la Ley Federal del Derecho de Autor (LFDA) en México que respondía a las exigencias prioritariamente económicas del renovado tratado de libre comercio con Estados Unidos y Canadá, el T-MEC. Frente a estas reformas, un conjunto de colectivos, asociaciones e individuos mexicanos e internacionales levantaron la voz por las numerosas implicaciones que suponían para la libertad de expresión, el debido proceso judicial, el acceso a la cultura y a la educación, la soberanía tecnológica y el impacto medioambiental, entre otras. Para rastrear el profundo alcance que en nuestros días tiene la LFDA en detrimento de otros derechos y prácticas ya afianzadas, desde el Centro Cultural de España en Ciudad de México nos propusimos inscribir estas preocupaciones y debatirlas en un plano sociocultural más amplio, a partir de cuatro nodos conceptuales: 1) saberes originarios; 2) conocimiento abierto; 3) autoedición y reescrituras digitales; 4) hacktivismos. Este libro reúne contribuciones de Alberto López Cuenca, Anamhoo, David Cuartielles, Diana Macho Morales, Domingo M. Lechón, Eduardo Aguado-López, Gabriela Méndez Cota, Irene Soria, Leandro Rodríguez Medina, Marla Gutiérrez Gutiérrez, Mónica Nepote, Nika Zhenya, Renato Bermúdez Dini y Víctor Leonel Juan-Martínez. On July 1, 2020, reforms to the Federal Copyright Act (LFDA, for its acronym in Spanish) entered into force in Mexico responding to the primarily economic requirements of the renewed free trade agreement with the United States and Canada, the USMCA. Facing these reforms, a group of Mexican and international associations and individuals raised their voices due to the numerous implications that they entailed for free speech, due judicial process, access to culture and education, technological sovereignty and their environmental impact, among others. In order to trace the deep reaching that the LFDA has today to the detriment of other rights and already established practices, from the Centro Cultural de España in Mexico City we proposed to inscribe these concerns and debate them on a broader sociocultural plane, starting from four conceptual nodes: 1) native knowledges; 2) open knowledge; 3) digital selfediting and rewriting; 4) hacktivisms. This book brings together contributions from Alberto López Cuenca, Anamhoo, David Cuartielles, Diana Macho Morales, Domingo M. Lechón, Eduardo Aguado-López, Gabriela Méndez Cota, Irene Soria, Leandro Rodríguez Medina, Marla Gutiérrez Gutiérrez, Mónica Nepote, Nika Zhenya, Renato Bermúdez Dini and Víctor Leonel Juan-Martínez. Sobre los editores Alberto López Cuenca es profesor titular de la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras de la Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla (México), donde imparte teoría del arte contemporáneo. Sus intereses de investigación son la teoría del arte contemporáneo, la propiedad intelectual y las nuevas formas culturales, y el trabajo creativo y el posfordismo. Ha publicado y dictado conferencias sobre estos temas, especialmente en América Latina. Sus contribuciones han sido publicadas, entre otras revistas, en Afterall, Parse, Culture Machine, Third Text y Revista de Occidente. Renato Bermúdez Dini es maestro en Estética y Arte por la Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla (México). Sus investigaciones giran en torno al activismo artístico y los estudios visuales en Latinoamérica. Actualmente se desempeña como profesor de arte latinoamericano contemporáneo en la Universidad Iberoamericana Puebla (México) y es estudiante del doctorado en Filosofía de la Universidad Iberoamericana (Ciudad de México).

Re: [spectre] a terrible day
Dear friends and neighbours, with all shared emotions about the horrible things that happen in the Ukraine and with particular sympathies for the victims of Russia's invasion, might I still put up a thought for discussion? I saw elderly ladies in the streets of Berlin today carrying signs saying "Fuck Putin". This is maybe understandable at a private level of anger, but it underanalysis what is going on there. Putin is not an individual devil who wants to destroy a nation. The actions taking are in my view a reaction to international politics that are a well coordinated maneuvres of Russian Intelligence, Russian Business and Russian Military. Not Putin as a person. The Capitalist West has expanded zones of monetary interest and of military influence towards the East since 1991. NATO countries are at the border of Russia. This is as if Russia would have installed missiles in Canada, Cuba, and Mexico. Do you remember the histeria when the Soviet Union set up missiles in Cuba? I hope that this conflict will be solved without costs of life and the Ukrainian friends have my full sympathies, but we should not fool ourselves into "Putin did it". This is a much more complex issue and the NATO is not completely innocent of what is going on there. Do you remember that NATO is short for "North Atlantic Treaty Organization"? Is the Ukraine on the North Atlantic? Why does NATO want to expand to control the entire continent? Could you consider to be a Russian citizen and be frightened by a military organisation trying to take over the whole of Europe?
