Surfing the Crisis Anomalous Waves from Universities in Europe and around the world
Thursday 5 March - 8,30 PM - De Peper / OT301 Amsterdam In autumn 2008 students from Italy started to protest against the approval of a Berlusconi's government's decree that was intended to make a radical transformation of the educational system in Italy. The decree's aims were to cut the public education budget, university personnel and allowed universities to turn themselves in private foundations to seek funds in the private market. In few words the goal was to disqualify the public university sistem and with the excuse of economical crisis move public funds to save banks and private institutions. The political reactions of students, precarious workers and reaserchers flowed into a movement - the biggest in 30 years - was soon referred to as the 'Anomalous Wave'. The common shout was: " We won't pay for your crisis" . The Wave soon reached other countries: Greece, Spain, France and UK, as the commodification of knowledge is a neoliberal design promoted by the tecnochratical institutions of the EU through the so-called 'Bologna Process'. In preparation of the international demonstration against the inter-ministerial conference about the Bologna process in Leuven, Belgium, 28-29 April 2009 we will discuss the ideas and strategies of the Anomalous Wave with Claudia Bernardi, Gigi Ruggero, Paolo Do, Andrea Ghelfi, Camillo Imperore, Matteo Pasquinelli, Brett Neilson from Uniriot and Edufactory Uniriot is the Italian "network of rebel Universities" www.uniriot.org Edufactory is a global discussion network focusing on role of education in contemporary capitalism www.edu-factory.org _______________________________________________ AW-NL-List mailing list aw-nl-l...@autistici.org https://www.autistici.org/mailman/listinfo/aw-nl-list --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Surfing the Crisis Donderdag 5 maart Peper, Overtoom 301 Amsterdam 20.30 Over de 'anomalous wave' studentenprotesten in Europa.
