'Comuna Under Construction' is an ethnography of self-organisation, a film which as part of a series of collaborations the artist Oliver Ressler carried out with Azzellini, takes a look at the everyday experiences of ordinary Venezuelan people. Since the initiation of a rhizomatic system of self-organizing - citizens come together to discuss local issues through a network of committees and subcommittees which empower people to initiate local development projects.

Il presente seminario si intende come una prosecuzione ed un approfondimento tematico successivo al primo incontro, tenutosi nel mese di luglio 2014, dal titolo “Fabbriche recuperate: la ricostruzione di un territorio solidale”.

Es diskutieren: Júlia Alsinet Caballeria (Plataforma de Afectados por la Hipotéca - Plattform der von Hypotheken Betroffenen), Karin Baumert (Berliner Bündnis gegen Zwangsräumungen), Dario Azzellini (JKU Linz)

Join authors Marina Sitrin and Dario Azzellini as they discuss how mass protest movements in disparate places such as Greece, Argentina, and the United States ultimately share an agenda—to raise the question of what democracy should mean. These horizontalist movements, including Occupy, exercise and claim participatory democracy as the ground of revolutionary social change today.

Book launch with authors Marina Sitrin and Dario Azzellini

They Can’t Represent Us! describes how the new global movements are putting forward a radical conception of democracy, often using the voices of the movement participants themselves. Mass movements in disparate places such as Greece, Spain, Argentina, and the United States ultimately share an agenda—to raise the question of what democracy should mean. These horizontalist movements, including Occupy, exercise and claim participatory democracy as the ground of revolutionary social change today.
