[spectre] new issue of transversal web journal: municipalismos monstruo

[eipcp info]

*Municipalismos monstruo*
*transversal web journal*

As racist and new fascist forces gain popularity in many European 
countries, the most recent local elections in Spain saw the widespread 
entry of social movement platforms into the city parliaments. From the 
micropolitical experiences of the last decade, the movement against 
forced evictions, the occupations, assemblies and working groups of 15M, 
the municipalist movement was born. This issue of transversal aims to 
discuss the practices and processes, strategies and operations that 
collect in the multiple experience of municipalism, their failures and 
successes, their possible translation beyond the borders of the Spanish 
State.

Beyond the simple opposition of movement and institution, it has been 
and continues to be not a mere question of taking over the institutions 
in the Spanish cities, but of testing a new institutionality, instituent 
practices and constituent processes. Traversing the national structures 
of centralist politics, under the radar of the transnational economic 
flows, a virulent movement emerged in waves across Spain, which carries 
the potential to mushroom beyond the Spanish borders: towards a concrete 
assemblage of rebellious cities in Europe, but also to a confluence that 
overflows all given scalings, from the smallest local context of the 
village or city neighborhood to the translocal formation of monster 
municipalisms.
