To do this would be to yield to total economic rationalisation, herding our
respective practices into second-hand exile under the sign of 'capital
realism', rather than achieving a truly critical mobility.

Such mobility is dependent on the increase of options not the reduction of
them.  The vulnerability here in Europe is the lack of reserve (or companion)
strategies and experience for sustaining development in a climate of shifty
political actors and economic austerity. 

Cheers,

Julian
