The revolt of a generation

Euro-mediterranean happening on Education, Welfare and New political practices

9 / 5 / 2011

In the last two years we have participated and assisted with extraordinary movements that have fought for a quality education, for labor rights and new welfare against the austerity politics of the European Union. The wild demonstrations, pickets lines and strikes, the university occupations and the turmoil of the Mediterranean signal a generational revolt and the necessity of a new social pact that involves all those subjects that stand up for their rights and refuse to be blackmailed. The huge strikes last autumn in France showed us the possibility of creating an intergenerational alliance, as blockades of production and circulation of goods constitute different aspects of a common struggle. In Rome, as in London, the Book Block was a collective political practice able to speak out about the dismantling of public universities and processes of deskilling.

At the same time, the revolts of Maghreb- Mashrek demonstrate how the construction of a future is tightly bound to both the radical claim for democracy and with the necessity of freedom from the parasitic and corrupt power that commands over our lives, universities, schools and workplaces. The recent revolts and movements have crossed national and European borders as well as the limits imposed on education and mobility by Bologna Process to clash with the failure of a strategy we have always opposed.
The struggles of these months have indicated that the possibility of radical change can only become concrete through the alliance among the different actors of labor and education, through common and transnational practices guided by those whom put their own bodies and knowledge. We hope to give a common meaning to this new space redefined by the conflicts in which the crises opens new possibilities to create an "other" future. It is for this reason that we want to initiate an open debate about the common projects we want to build together, starting in Rome on 12 and 13th May 2011.

La rivolta di una generazione.
Happening Euro-Mediterraneo su Formazione, Welfare e Nuove Pratiche Politiche
Negli ultimi due anni abbiamo partecipato e assistito a straordinari movimenti che si sono battuti per un'educazione di qualità, per i diritti sul lavoro e un nuovo welfare contro le politiche di austerità imposte dall’Unione Europea. Le manifestazioni selvagge, i picchetti e gli scioperi, le occupazioni delle università e i tumulti del Mediterraneo ci parlano di una rivolta generazionale e della necessità di un nuovo patto sociale che coinvolga tutti quei soggetti che difendono i loro diritti e respingono il ricatto. I grandi scioperi dello scorso autunno in Francia ci hanno mostrato come sia possibile dare corpo ad un'alleanza intergenerazionale, dove il blocco della produzione e della circolazione costituiscano le differenti pratiche di una lotta comune.

A Roma come a Londra, il Book Bloc è stata una pratica politica collettiva capace di parlare della dismissione dell’università pubblica e dei processi di dequalificazione. Al contempo, le rivolte dal Maghreb - Mashrek dimostrano come la costruzione di un futuro sia legata a doppio filo con la radicale richiesta di democrazia, con la necessità di liberarsi di quel potere parassitario e corrotto che comanda sulle nostre vite, nelle università, nelle scuole e sul lavoro.
Le rivolte e i movimenti recenti hanno travalicato le frontiere nazionali e dell’Europa e, nello stesso tempo, anche i confini imposti dal processo di Bologna alla formazione e alla mobilità si sono scontrati con il fallimento di una strategia che da sempre abbiamo contestato.

Le lotte di questi mesi ci hanno indicato come la possibilità di un cambiamento radicale diventi concreta solo attraverso l’alleanza tra le varie figure lavorative e della formazione, attraverso pratiche comuni e transnazionali agite da chi mette in gioco il proprio corpo e la propria intelligenza. La tensione con cui vorremmo incontrarci è quella di dare significato comune a questo nuovo spazio ridefinito dai conflitti dove la crisi apre nuove possibilità per poter costruire un “altro” futuro. Proprio per questo vogliamo partire da un confronto serrato su progetti comuni da costruire insieme, e vogliamo iniziare a farlo a Roma il 12 e 13 Maggio 2011.
