> Movement
>
> Over the past ten years the various tendrils of the global justice
> movement have developed a multiplicity of new forms of social
> resistance.
> From occupied factories and neighborhood assemblies in Argentina to
> raucous UK street parties and Italian social centers, these new forms
> of
> resistance and organizing have blurred, questioned, and broken down
> notions of political action and organization. Far from the ?end of
> history? predicted in 1989, the circulation and spread of autonomous
> struggles and politics worldwide has proclaimed loudly ?we are
> everywhere.? These forms of social protagonism are developing
> alternatives
> to a neoliberal world in the organization of resistance, constructing
> new
> possibilities through the constitutive power of lived imagination.
>
> Just as we use narratives to construct and deconstruct our social
> world,
> so narratives about forms of politics open up or delimit possibilities
> for
> organization. But the relation of radical academics and intellectuals
> and
> the social movements we work with (or more often talk about with little
> real connection) has had a tenuous and not always positive history. Far
> too often radical theorists have used their knowledge or ideas to claim
> leadership roles and positions of power within movements, attempting to
> control and direct through vanguard structures, leading to many
> problems
> despite their positive intentions. The practices of the interwoven
> strands
> of the global justice movement, creating and enacting horizontal
> networks
> instead of top-down structures like states, parties, or corporation,
> demand that radical theorists and academics critically rethink their
> role
> in and relation to movements, and the nature of intellectual practice
> itself.

> This volume seeks contributions of essays and interviews as well visual
> contributions that explore the relation between research, resistance,

> organization occurring in the global justice movement. That is, we

> or
> from above, but engage in research and investigation from an engaged
> perspective and political praxis, people who take seriously the
> Zapatistas? concept of walking while asking questions. Contributors are

> generic
> academic paper format!). Please send your proposal of 500 words or
