Cari amici,
segnalo questa iniziativa.
fNB Mi sono appena trasferito a Barcelona e inizio un master in economia ecologica con Martinez Allier all'uab.
Presto dovrei anche stabilire contatto con il movimento della decrescita spagnola. Vi farò sapere!

Jammers and
creatives,
Every September 22, people
across the globe get together to swear off their cars - if only for one day -
in a collective reminder that we don't have to accept car-dominated societies,
cities, or personal lives. Since its earliest incarnations in the 1970s and
'80s, WORLD CAR-FREE DAY has grown into a massive global celebration of
human-centric communities and people-powered transportation.
Car-Free Day 2007 could
turn out to be the biggest yet. For the first time, China's government is
hopping on board, with official events talking place in more than 100 cities,
including Beijing and Shanghai. Officials will reportedly be trading in their famed
black sedans for public transportation, and some roads will be closed to
private cars.
As the world tunes in to
the fact that the climate is heating up, this is the perfect opportunity to
take the heat off the planet, and put it on city planners and politicians to
give priority to cycling, walking and public transport, instead of oil-hungry
automobiles.
Visit ADBUSTERS.ORG for links to global resources on going
car-free, first on September 22, and then in your everyday life. Let World Car-Free Day be a showcase for just how our cities might
look, feel, and sound without cars - 365 days a year.
Cheers,
The Adbusters Team
I Culture jammers sono un network dissociato e globale di
artisti, scrittori, ambientalisti, economisti ecologici,
insegnanti dell'alfabetizzazione dei media, sinistroidi
rinati, ecofemministi, antiprogressisti, disturbatori di
merda dei college, catalizzatori della confusione nelle
università, incorreggibili, insoddisfatti e acerbi imprenditori.
Siamo idealisti, anarchici, tattici della guerriglia, burloni,
poeti, filosofi e punk.
La pratica del Culture Jamming (interferenza culturale) consiste
nel trarre spunto dalle campagne dei grandi marchi internazionali
stravolgendone il messaggio originario attraverso l'ironia,
il paradosso e lo straniamento.
Lo scopo è quello di evidenziare
le strutture del potere e valori socialmente, ecologicamente
e culturalmente negativi che si annidano nel mondo della
comunicazione e in particolare nei messaggi pubblicitari
delle grandi corporations globali.

THE CURE FOR THE IRAQ WAR
HANGOVER
by Matt Taibbi
Remember Stripes, Bill Murray's take on American self-esteem after
Vietnam? "We're American soldiers!" Murray famously joked.
"We've
been kicking ass for 200 years! We're 10-1!" Well, make it 10-2.
Which begs the question: exactly how much is this postwar period
going to suck?

THE DEATH OF CANADIAN
JOURNALISM
by Sean Condon
In a crowded bar in downtown Vancouver, a group of reporters from
the city's main daily newspaper, The Vancouver Sun, gather after
work to do what most people revel in after a long week at the
office: bitch about the boss. While images of the Iraq War, Wal-Mart
and Kid Rock quickly flash and disappear on the television screens
above them, editors are mocked, columnists are ridiculed and the
paper their bylines appear in is panned up and down.
