>>MAKEWORLDS (2) CALL FOR PARTICIPATION 
>>http://www.makeworlds.org 
>>
>>NAME
>>NEURO -- networking europe
>>
>>SYNOPSIS
>>Movements and technologies of the common
>>
>>DATE
>>February 26-29, 2004
>>
>>LOCATION
>>Muffathalle, Munich (Germany)
>>
>>DESCRIPTION 
>>A new generation of media and network initiatives from all over Europe
>>and different parts of the world present and work on their projects in
>>a broad interactive framework that explores the different conceptual
>>and practical idioms used to articulate and create new social, 
>>political and artistic practices.
>>
>>Originating within the networking culture of open communications and
>>free exchange the event aims to connect contemporary debates on
>>mobility, migration and social movements with new media instruments,
>>information and communication technologies.
>>
>>WHAT'S NEW?
>>The new is emerging in unknown and multiple ways. It is emerging from
>>the exhaustion and crisis of conventional political concepts that are
>>no longer adequate to the unstable, informatic and immaterial
>>dimensions of the emerging division of labour. The new technologies of
>>the common are not universal hierarchies of political right but small
>>scale and intimate practices of constitution. The new involves those
>>who see the limitations of individual social practices of
>>self-realisation and desire to turn them into general and transferable
>>social technologies of emancipation.
>>
>>BACKGROUND
>>It is time for intellectual and political debates to merge with
>>technology. Both to evaluate the current state of social movements and
>>to build on those orientations that are pushing the limits of what are
>>individually considered possible. NEURO sets out to create and map a
>>new discursive terrain and practical horizon: the ideas of 'freedom of
>>movement' and 'technologies of the common' draws into a synergetic
>>perspective the range of irreducibly conflictual practices whereby
>>society is reproduced.
>>
>>Without losing sight of the (translocal) constitution of the local as
>>indispensable site of intervention, NEURO seeks to review and research
>>practices of networking that are already redefining the political
>>geography of Europe. In the ongoing diversification of the social,
>>processes of integration can no longer be clearly separated from
>>mechanisms of exclusion. The working out of these tensions at a
>>political and economic level is producing new levels of complexity as
>>well as new opportunities for provocative and experimental projects
>>that challenge orthodoxy and convention.
>>
>>The focus on social reproduction is an acknowledgment that its various
>>modes are proliferating across an ever-expanding terrain in a process
>>that suggests that collective responses will themselves have to explore
>>some of the idioms and tools of the network in each of the subjects
>>under discussion, whether human rights and citizenship, Empire and
>>Europe, free software and intellectual property regimes, the spectacle
>>of civil society, or the institutional and bureaucratic mentalities
>>present within post-governmental environments.
>>
>>Beyond the juridical parcelisation of people into discrete, sovereign
>>and rights-bearing subjects, the present offers a unique chance to
>>express and form solidarities that catch up in political terms with the
>>sociality of our being. For these struggles, networks and
>>intercommunicative agency are not goals but their very conditions of
>>possibility. Thus the new sits in opposition to the current forms of
>>exclusion because the appropriation of subjective freedoms within
>>Europe and beyond it are part of the foundations on which these
>>political edifices themselves rest.
>>
>>TASKS
>>What could be new today in networking? After the thin promises of new
>>markets and new media, what aspirations remain for evolving struggles
>>for information, knowledge and communication? What is the role of civil
>>society in the framework of global governing practices of political
>>mediation today? What is the impact of immaterial and affective labour
>>for practices of migration and the reconfiguration of the global
>>economy of biopolitical production? What projects of self constitution
>>emerge from practices of refusal and exodus? How has the movement
>>reposed the question of the autonomy of the political in the midst of a
>>crisis of representation? Is mapping the best tool for expressing
>>horizontal structures of cooperation and technologies of the common?
>>
>>None of the initiatives present at neuro will offer a one-size-fits-all
>>solution to global wrongs. However when taken together it is imagined
>>that they will exhibit the power of generating communicable ideas out
>>of small, laboratory contexts that are embedded within different
>>environments and in dialogue with one another.
>>
>>NEURO will be a major opportunity for forming creative alliances -
>>within a coherent discursive field - between all those that share the
>>aspiration to raise theory and activity to a level adequate to the
>>practice of digital generations.
>>
>>TOPICS

>>area for  debates on different levels and in different formats. Various
>>input and output devices will be attached to these topics.''
