WHAT HAPPENS BEYOND DEMOCRACY?

Italy's postmodern politics *

by ANTONIO NEGRI

     A year ago the Genoa demonstrations against the G8 summit
     shocked Italy: they upset the plans of Sylvio Berlusconi,
     who had thought, with the overthrow of the traditional
     left, that he had carte blanche. By bringing people on to
     the streets, the victory of the right has raised hopes
     about the possibilities of re-founding the left and
     rebuilding the republic.

IN A FRANCE OF PLURAL IDENTITIES

What does it mean to be Jewish? *

by SYLVIE BRAIBANT * and DOMINIQUE VIDAL

     The terrible things happening to both Israelis and
     Palestinians have had repercussions among the Jewish
     community in France. The events make Jews feel insecure,
     because of anti-semitic violence. They also worry about
     the rise of the far right. But their concerns go deeper
     than reactive fears: at their core is the very future of
     what it means to be Jewish.

                                   Translated by Harry Forster



'I don't question my children's Jewishness' *

IN DENIAL ABOUT A DEADLY FUTURE

South Africa's Aids apartheid

by our special correspondent PHILIPPE RIVIÈRE

     A new and deadly apartheid threatens South Africa's
     freedom: five million of its people have contracted the
     Aids virus and 360,000 more are infected each year. The
     public health sector, only resort of the poor, does not
     supply antiretrovirals. But HIV positive people, fighting
     for their own lives, are also encouraging the nation to
     resist all forms of discrimination.

EASTERN EUROPEAN IMMIGRANTS EXPLOITED

Sleepwalkers of Portugal

by HERVÉ DIEUX

     The European Union, alarmed by the rise of the far right,
     wants to suppress illegal immigration. But waves of poor
     emigrés will go on arriving as employers take advantage
     of their precarious status to drive down wages and
     circumvent labour laws. In Portugal the building trade is
     exploiting skilled workers from Eastern Europe.

OLD TRADITIONS, NEW STRATEGY

Germany's Middle Eastern diplomacy *

by MICHEL VERRIER

     Twelve years after reunification, Germany has
     international ambitions. It is not a political nonentity
     but a candidate for a UN Security Council seat, and is
     trying to claim EU leadership. Kosovo was one turning
     point; but Germany's diplomatic efforts are most visible
     in the Middle East.

                                   Translated by Luke Sandford



WHY INDEPENDENCE HAS NOT BEEN A TOTAL FAILURE

Algeria matures *

by our special correspondent GHANIA MOUFFOK

     Life expectancy has risen, illiteracy has dropped, there
     are mighty movements towards social change that nobody in
     politics or government wants to talk about, and women are
     gaining power. This is the other Algeria.

                                   Translated by Harry Forster



HOW HATE MEDIA INCITED THE COUP AGAINST THE PRESIDENT

Venezuela's press power

by MAURICE LEMOINE

     Never even in Latin American history has the media been
     so directly involved in a political coup. Venezuela's
     'hate media' controls 95% of the airwaves and has a
     near-monopoly over newsprint, and it played a major part
     in the failed attempt to overthrow the president, Hugo
     Chávez, in April. Although tensions in the country could
     easily spill into civil war, the media is still directly
     encouraging dissident elements to overthrow the
     democratically elected president - if necessary by force.

                                    Translated by Julie Stoker

A NEW CONFORMITY, DEFERENCE AND AUTHORITARIANISM

America's patriot games *

by DANIEL LAZARE

     President Bush's popularity, only now being damaged by
     the recent corporate scandals in the United States, has
     dissuaded Democrats from criticism. But the economic
     reverses may now make Democrats bolder - which is why the
     White House is invoking the war on terror to impose a
     patriotic consensus in government, media and the nation.

GIBRALTAR TO GHANA IN AN OLD PEUGEOT

African patchwork *

by our special correspondent CHRISTIAN DE BRIE

     The road runs unsmoothly for over 10,000 km from the
     Strait of Gibraltar down to Accra, the capital of Ghana,
     by way of Morocco, Mauritania, Mali, Senegal, Burkina
     Faso and Togo. And all the way you meet every day the
     youthful, musical, wonderful people of Africa.

                                   Translated by Luke Sandford

borderlands e-journal  http://www.borderlandsejournal.adelaide.edu.au
a virtual intellectual space for new forms of thought and writing in the 
humanities. 
borderlands is a refereed international journal that aims to promote 

transdisciplinary work across the humanities, work which might also

intersect with diverse practices and sites in culture, policy and 

everyday life. Although our beginnings are modest, we hope that 

over time you will be able to view writings cutting across and 

between politics, media, literature, history, law, science, medicine,

philosophy, economics, music, film and more, along with incisive 

debate about contemporary culture.



The founder (and publisher) of borderlands e-journal is Anthony 

Burke, but its origins lie in earlier collective efforts to create open

 spaces of dialogue and thought in the humanities.

Subject: Winners of the >>digital sparks<< competition 2002

- -----------------------------------------------------------------------

The results of the >>digital sparks 02<< competition
for universities and academies have been decided!
Four student media projects have won prizes.

- -----------------------------------------------------------------------

For the second time  the MARS Exploratory Media Lab
is organising the higher education competition
"digital sparks". 

On July 29, the six-strong panel of well-known
personalities from the worlds of culture and business
met at the Schloss Birlinghoven in Sankt Augustin
to decide the winners of this year's "digital sparks"
competition.

Prior to this, 26 of the online entries from the fields
of media art, media design and IT had been nominated by
a panel of experts. Because of the quality of the work,
four prizes have been awarded rather than three.

The winners of digital sparks 2002 are:

actionist respoke 
Ruediger Schloemer and Michael Janoschek, FH Aachen

An experimental sound interface for the song of the same
name by the group "Mouse On Mars". The form language is
generated from the amorpho-organic universe of the
musical model. Actionist respoke finds images for sounds,
beats, language and associations that are unusual and
change the perception of sounds. This mixture of
interactivity and semi-autonomous program status commands
the user's attention and invites him to join in.

Korsakov Syndrom 
Florian Thalhofer, UdK Berlin

A non-linear, interactive documentary film on the subject
of alcohol featuring compelling interviews and a
contemporary approach to the handling of text and images.
The viewer of this work also becomes the author of a new
multi-view film at the same time. The tool for producing
non-linear storytelling has been programmed specifically
for that purpose and is based on a database with approx.
150 short films. Suitable clips for the documentary
film sequence are found from a database. In a sort of
interactive storytelling process, the user navigates
through the available pool of films by linking chains
of associations. 

left 2 dimensions behind
Andreas Siefert, HFG Karlsruhe

This video installation with Dolby Surround Sound has
poetic power from the moment the video starts. The
reduction of spatial processes to image level creates
an unusual and disturbing impression. The installation
plays with different realities - the paint which is
poured in the image seems almost sculptural and gives
a material, tactile impression. The surround-sound
audio emphasises the viewer's feeling of space and time.
The alienating way the dripping process has been shot
from different perspectives gives the straightforward
action of pouring paint a magical dimension, and the
incorporation of the real environment into the image
adds a spatial dimension to the painting process behind
the glass. The work takes on an intriguing character
when the image escapes the borders of the screen.

Terror by Tina 
Martin Hesselmeier, FH Mannheim

A BOT on the prowl for victims. This chat program
with integrated artificial intelligence subversively
undermines the user's communication expectations.
As an interpretation of the psychological approach
of Josef Weizenbaum's "Eliza Projekt", "Tina" is
not in any way politically correct. Even the title
of the piece conveys the terror. Despite its serious
political statement, this project is still primarily
a humorous work. The dialogues in the work highlight
the communication behaviour of chat participants, in
particular when aggression arises. This guerrilla
project with its systematic, designer use of
understatement straddles the line between media art
and design.

Each prizewinner receives a production
scholarship of Euro 2,500.

The location and date of the awards ceremony and
the exhibition of the prize-winning works will
be released shortly.

Hi,
Is there anyone out there who knows anything about computer
programming who might be interested in helping me with this idea for a game? 
  The idea is a kind of simulation of the anarchist movement, where you set 
up different collectives (ARA, IWW etc) which have different abilities -a 
similar kind of idea to Civilisation.

The idea would be to send it out as freeware - you could have
information and links about the different units in the game...it'd be a 
pretty cool propaganda tool I think.

I've included more detail in the attached Word file. Please note - don't get 
offended by the descriptions of the units.  Like I said, they've been 
simplified for game purposes (to the point of parody perhaps).  There's no 
hidden agenda in the unit descriptions, you'll notice that everyone has been 
simplified equally.

(NOTE: Please don't reply to this via the spanet list as I'm not on it).

Thanks,
James.

Abstract

Rip, Mix, Burn: The Politics of Peer to Peer and Copyright Law by Kathy Bowrey
and Matthew Rimmer
Whereas Lessig's recent work engages with questions of culture and creativity
in society, this paper looks at the role of culture and creativity in the law.
The paper evaluates the Napster, DeCSS, Felten and Sklyarov litigation in
terms of the new social, legal, economic and cultural relations being
produced. This involves a deep discussion of law's economic relations, and the
implications of this for litigation strategy. The paper concludes with a
critique of recent attempts to define copyright law in terms of first
amendment rights and communicative freedom.
