Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

This book opens the often narrow discourse on the future of Europe and criticizes the false dichotomy between nationalism on the one hand and a neoliberal version of Europe on the other. Existing emancipatory projects from across the continent are presented together with reflections on strategies to achieve a democratic Europe beyond the nation state: from the municipal level to the level of transnational media, from technology and counter-surveillance to the systemic change provided by the commons movement and more. The shift towards a new way of thinking and doing politics is possible! The book features contributions by Etienne Balibar, Ulrike Guérot, Gesine Schwan, Renata Avila, Barbara Spinelli, Andreas Karitzis, Lorenzo Marsili, and Jonas Staal, among others, and interviews with city governors from Madrid to Naples.

Informazioni sull?autore

European Alternatives works to promote democracy, equality, and culture beyond the nation state. With offices in four European countries and a network of activists and local groups stretching to over fourteen, the organization is unique in being at once a breeding ground for new ideas and proposals for politics and culture at a European level and in being a political and cultural actor with a truly trans-European activity, staff, and support base. Daphne Büllesbach is managing director of European Alternatives and curator of Transeuropa Festival, a biannual cultural, political, and arts event. She holds degrees in political and social sciences from London, Paris, and Cambridge. Marta Cillero is responsible for communications at European Alternatives. She studied media studies, journalism, and communication in Madrid, Istanbul, and Chicago, and has a background in gender studies. Lukas Stolz is special projects collaborator at European Alternatives and previously worked as a campaigner with Democracy International. His research interest lies in the intersection between politics, cultural theory, and art and he holds a degree in philosophy, politics and economics from the University of Witten/Herdecke.
