VÅR MAKT 2016 - LEKTIONER OM MILJÖ, MIGRATION OCH REPRODUKTION

Lördag 15 oktober, Kvarnby Röda huset, Industrigatan 4, Malmö. Fritt inträde!

Observera: 15 Oktober!

I årets Vår makt sätter vi fokus på reproduktionen av den globala arbetarklassen genom att lyfta fram migranters självorganisering, Black lives matter-rörelsens explosiva utveckling i USA, kamp inom vården i Sverige, samt sambandet mellan klimatförändringar, jordbrukets djupa integration i den kapitalistiska ekonomin och möjligheten av en radikal omgestaltning av vår värld.

10.30 Ewa Maczynska: Migration, Self-organization and the so-called Refugee crisis.

Hungary is one of the countries that serves as a strategtic frontier for the European Union, and is both supported by the Union as a mean of "controlling the migration", and highly criticized for its inhumane asylum policies. In this presentation Ewa Maczynska will talk about the self-organization of migrants, and solidarity networks, in Hungary and other places of Europe and give a general overview of the so-called refugee crisis. For whom is it a crisis? And how is the concept of crisis used to frame the migrant question in Europe today?

Ewa Maczynska is a PhD student in International Relations. She studies self-organization of migrants and horizontal forms of solidarity, non-state, non-humanitarian initiatives, with migrants. She has conducted research in Hungary, and other countries in Europe.

11.30 Endnotes: Black lives matter - Race, Class and Organization in a deindustrialized America.

John Clegg from Endnotes speaks about the article Brown v. Ferguson:https://endnotes.org.uk/issues/4/en/endnotes-brown-v-ferguson, on the Black Lives Matter movement, and the strange symmetries of race and class in the US. How did the Black lives matter-movement spread across the US? What strategies and tactics does it develop and what obstacles does it come across in its development?

John Clegg is a sociologist and part of the Endnotes collective, and has written several essays on social movements and the ongoing crisis of capitalism.

12.45 Lunch

13.30 Jasper Bernes: The Belly of the Revolution - Energy, Agriculture, Communism.

Investigating the consequences of the “green revolution” and the integration of agriculture with the fossil energy system, Jasper Bernes attempts to develop a Marxist theory of technology while at the same time imagining how a 21st century communist transformation might meet its needs, thrive, prosper, and disperse across the planet. To do so, he argues, will require reviving a forgotten revolutionary objective: the overcoming of the division between town and country. By examining the particular problems raised by agriculture and the food supply system, Bernes adresses key questions of our times such as climate change, energy systems and logistics in a world of ecological and economical crisies.

Jasper Bernes is an author and editor of Commune Editions. He was active in Occupy Oakland and has written several essays on logistics, the Occupy movement and agriculture and energy systems.

14.45 Vårdaktivister: Slut på rean - En annan vård är möjlig

Hanna och Alex från arrangörsgruppen inför vårdmanifestationen den 4:e september i Malmö kommer att prata vårdkamp med avstamp i 4:e-septemberrörelsen som mobiliserade 26 städer under parollen ”Slut på rean - En annan vård är möjlig”. De kommer även titta bakåt och spana framåt hur rörelsen och motståndet kan fortsätta och utvecklas.
