Die Nummer 3 der com.une.farce, Online-Magazin fuer Kritik im Netz und
Bewegung im Alltag, <http://www.copyriot.com/unefarce/no3/index.htm> ist ab
heute im Netz und enthaelt folgende Beitraege:

Programmatische Fragen und pragmatische Hinweise

##ruud
#Shortcuts
#Eine Nachforschung
Dieser Text unternimmt den Versuch, nach einem gewissen zeitlichen Abstand
zur Bluetezeit der autonomen Bewegung noch einmal - oder erstmalig? - in
Diskussion ueber Staerken und Schwaechen von Bewegungspolitik zu treten.
Was waren die Grundlagen linksradikaler Politik und was ist davon - zu
Recht oder nicht - auf den Muellhaufen der Geschichte gewandert? Die
neunziger Jahre Revisited.

#Reclaim the Streets: Karneval und Konfrontation
Reclaim the Streets ist das unangemeldete Feiern von Strassenparties, ein
Zeitvertreib, der in den letzten Jahren in den Stîdten Grossbritanniens an
Beliebtheit gewonnen hat. In Grossbritannien haben sich in den neunziger
Jahren politische Aktionsformen entwickelt, die anders funktionieren als
traditionelle Demos. Eine moegliche Entwicklung vom Oekoprotest zum
antikapitalistischen Protest?

#Treffen der Generationen. Zwei Captains - Eine Mission
Dieser Beitrag setzt sich in Form einer popkosmologischen Analogie zu
StarTrek mit dem Editorial der letzten farce auseinander. Einige Mitglieder
der farce-Redaktion treffen sich in einem simulierten Redaktionsbuero, um
via chat ueber die Aktionen gegen den Bielefelder Kriegsparteitag der
Gruenen mitte Mai dieses Jahres zu debattieren. Wir erinnern uns: Es war
der Tag, an dem Aussenjoschka rot wurde. Ende der neunziger Jahre stellt
sich die Frage nach Aesthetik und Strategie[-losigkeit] autonomer Politik
auf's neue. Log in right now!

#Gegen wessen Kriege welchen Widerstand?
#Ein Plaedoyer fuer die Etablierung eines neuen Antimilitarismus.
Waehrend elf Wochen nach dem 24. Mîrz 1999 bombardierte die NATO unte
Mitwirkung der Bundeswehr in einem unerklaerten Krieg die Bundesrepublk
Jugoslawien. Gegen diesen Krieg formierte sich in keinem der beteiligten
Angreiferlaender eine nennenswerte Anti-Kriegsbewegung. Der folgende Text
versucht thesenhaft, die Ursachen hierfuer zu analysieren und moegliche
Handlungsoptionen in zukuenftigen, aehnlich gelagerten
Auseinandersetzungen zu diskutieren. Denn, so lautet eine Kernthese der
nachfolgenden Ueberlegungen, der Kosovo-Krieg war neben und nach dem
zweiten Golfkrieg 1990/91 Prototyp einer neuen Art von Konflikten, die
zugleich symbolischer und
materieller Ausdruck der neuen Weltverhaeltnisse sind.

##Alain Kessi
#Kosov@ - Widerspruechlichkeiten und Subjektivitaeten
#Eine Einladung, genau hinzusehen und sich konkret irritieren zu lassen.
In der Diskussion um die Nato-Bombardierungen von Jugoslawien hat eine
Betrachtung weitgehend gefehlt: Die Subjektivitaet von
Kosov@-AlbanerInnen wurde kaum wahrgenommen, da nicht unmittelbar
zugaenglich und, vielleicht der springende Punkt, schwieriger in ein
angestammtes radikal linkes Selbstverstaendnis und Weltbild einzuordnen als
jene jugoslawischen
GenossInnen, die sowohl gegen Milosevics Politik wie auch gegen die
Nato-Angriffe protestiert haben und zumeist Teile radikal linken
Geschichtsverstaendnisses mit westeuropaeischen AktivistInnen teilen.

##Gespraech mit Slavoj Zizek
#"Der westliche Pazifismus und seine die Entpolitisierung vorantreibende
#Haltung"
Zizek ist als Kritiker eines "abstrakten Pazifismus" und eines "repressiven
Multikulturalismus" bekannt; die er als zentrale Formen einer
"post-politischen" Entpolitisierung gesellschaftlicher Konflikte
charakterisiert. Die gegenwaertige hegemoniale Form der Politik druecke
sich in einer "Post-Politik" aus, die einem Ende der Ideologien
beziehungsweise
dem Ende des antagonistischen Klassenkonflikts das Wort rede. Dieses
Gespraech mit dem slowenischen Psychanalytiker versucht zu klaeren, wie
sich politische Praxis im Zeitalter der Post-Politik artikulieren kann.

##Matthias Brieger
#Von der Kritik der Zustaende zur Kritik der Missstaende.
#Oder: Die Geburt der neuen Mitte aus dem Geist von 1968
Agnolis Texte in "1968 und die Folgen" illustrieren nicht nur die Genese und
Weiterentwicklung eines offenen, staatskritischen Marxismus, sie
gewaehren auch Einblicke auf Nebenschauplaetze der Auseinandersetzungen.
Beispielsweise analysiert er in "Die Schnelligkeit des realen Prozesses.
Vorlaeufige Skizze eines Versuchs ueber Adornos historisches Ende" dessen
Unfaehigkeit, sich auf die Revolte der Studierenden zu beziehen und
vieles, vieles mehr.

#Die Stadt als Beute
Klaus Ronneberger, Stephan Lanz und Walther Jahn begleiten uns nach Berlin,
Hamburg, Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Oberhausen und Leipzig. Ihre Untersuchungen
zeigen wie unaufloeslich das Bild der Staedte mit globalen oekonomisch
Entwicklungen verknuepft ist. Franziska Roller hat das gleichnamige Buch
besprochen.

#Aus: Gesellschaft mit beschraenkter Haftung
-Aus: Gesellschaft mit beschraenkter Haftung ist eine zwischen 1996 und
1999 entstandene Serie von Zeichnungen. Das Projekt erhebt die Frage, wie
die in den neunziger Jahren endgueltig umstrukturierten und ideologisch
konkurrenzlosen wirtschaftlichen Machtverhaeltnisse sich auf den
oeffentlichen Raum auswirken.
-Aus: Gesellschaft mit beschraenkter Haftung besteht
insgesamt aus dreizehn Bilderserien und war im Sommer 1999 in der Kunsthalle
Portikus in Frankfurt am Main ausgestellt. Fuer die farce haben wir die
Bilderserien Ne travaillez jamais (stand 1959 auf einer Mauer in Paris und
wurde dem Umfeld der Situationistischen Internationale zugeordnet) und
Falsche Freiheit Frankfurt (steht immer noch irgendwo in Hessen)
ausgewaehlt.

#Stadt ohne Namen
Das Multimedia-Versprechen der farce wird wieder ein wenig wahrer gemacht:
Ein Mini-Comic im Shockwave-Format, der unser Unbehagen an den Innenstaedten
aufnimmt und damit einen psychedelischen Stadtplan der Stadt ohne Namen
zeichnet.
<http://www.copyriot.com/unefarce/no3/mic.html>
##Alex Karschnia
#Der SPIEGEL und die Shoah
Zehn Jahre nach der deutsch-deutschen Vereinigung bleibt es ein
Hauptanliegen der Eliten der Berliner Republik, die NS-Vergangenheit als
Schranke der neuen aussenpolitischen Machtansprueche aus dem Weg zu raeumen.
Nach der Relativierung der Shoah durch eine konservativ-revolutionaer
interessierte Lesart der Totalitarismustheorie (Ernst Nolte u.a.), hat sich
nun die neue deutsche Laessigkeit breit gemacht. Alex Karschnia rueckt in
Der
SPIEGEL und die Shoah diesem neuen deutschen Holocaust-Humor mit einer
beissenden Polemik auf die Pelle und stellt die Arbeit der 'Shoah
Foundation'
von Steven Spielberg vor.

#Ohne Papiere in Europa
"Ohne Papiere in Europa" heisst ein Sammelband, der von der Kampagne 'Kein
Mensch Ist Illegal' herausgegeben wird und im Dezember bei Verlag Libertaere

MULTITUDES
A new periodical by March 3, 2000
'Multitudes' will be a French language quarterly hard-copy (paper)
periodical, with issues coming out in October, December, March, and
May. It will be published and distributed by Exils, Paris (France).
'Multitudes' will also maintain an electronic mailing list, and a
web-site: Multitudes On Line.
'Multitudes' is a cultural and political review. 'Multitudes' might
take as its own the formula Michel Foucault used to characterise his
own endeavours:
"I am trying (...) while avoiding any abstract and limiting
totalisation, to open up to problems that are as concrete and general
as is possible. Problems that backtrack politics, criss-cross
societies, and are at the same time constituent of our history and
constructed by it".
Backtracking politics: there lies the true subversion of
contemporary social movements. It is what 'Multitudes' aims at
analysing, as theoretical practice, as ontology, and as materialism
within though. Flight, desertion, exodus, and resistance are not
abstract facts stemming from eternally negative critical thought, but
are constituent of a space of positive affirmation. The (true)
alternative is the building power of what transforms thought into
action: in the field of culture, in that of theory, and in politics.
'Multitudes' is born out of the desire to reconstitute a community
of thought that existed with the review 'Futur Anterieur'. 'Futur
Anterieur' was a breath of fresh air within what Felix Guattari had
dubbed the 'winter years'. But the past preterite is also the time of
bygone virtuality, and the present time, to us, seems to carry a much
more joyful and subversive load than nostalgia ever could.
In an allegedly disillusioned world, where politics, management and
spectacle form an uncanny mix, we bet on making a periodical that
will be post-communist, post-socialist, and post-pessimist. A
periodical that will be simply Left. Not second wave social-democratic
left, nor that national-republican left whose embrace of sovereignty
makes it a bed-fellow of the reactionary right. And we are not at the
'left of the left' either, which never ventures beyond a perpetual
critique of domination in all its forms. To the obligation of revolt
inspired by resentment, we far prefer hailing revolts, manifold
manifestations. Absolute domination never was a real occurence, and it
has not happened yet either. Everywhere there are ideas, actions,
texts, groups, and tribes cropping up, defeating the deathly myth of
domination's absoluteness. Ours is this choice for purposeful living.
In its fifth first issues, 'Multitudes' will discuss the following
major topics:
1. Bio-politics and the problem of Power
2. New standards to measure Wealth, towards a new political economy
3. Europe and the Empire
4. The debate on contemporary Art
5. Syncretism of reason and the critique of universalism.
'Multitudes', Issue 1. Bio-politics and the Problem of Power.
This issue will deal with the relations between the various
transformation of the forms of practising and legitimating power, and
the production and reproduction of life under all its possible aspects
(eg. patenting of the (human) genome, life sciences, i.e. genetic
manipulations and bio-technology). We have here a strategic turn in
capitalism and in the power system, but this is also a major
transformation, whose consequence is to (re)define power in terms of
governing life itself, causing a crisis within the parameters that
delimits power since the 17th century, the theory and the practice of
sovereignty, the political contract, and what demarcates power, its
domain and territory. This issue also aims at opening up a new
project: to reverse the notion of bio-politics in order to make it
operative in the realm of political subjectivisation. Contemporary
political struggles (as those of december 1995 in France, the movement
of people without (regular) employment, some campaigns against AIDS,
etc.) force us to reconsider the way we approach the basis of action
in bio-politics.

======================================================================
'Multitudes', Issue 2. New Standards to Measure Wealth, Towards a New
Political Economy
The main axis of bio-politics leads us straight into this second
problem which will be the backbone of the second issue of
'Multitudes': questionning the political economy as we know it, the
'episteme' upon which it was built at the close of the 17th century,
with the industrial revolution and the end of slavery within the
world economy of the time. What becomes of value in an information
economy, driven by intangible forms of labor, and what is the future
of a welfare system that is essential and yet in profound crisis?

'Multitudes', Issue 3. Europe and the Empire.
Whereas globalisation overlaps to a large extent with the domination
of the US super-power in the field of patenting life, defining human
capital and services, it is nonetheless clear that in order to think
about the Empire, it has become necessary to go beyond the
conceptual apparatus of anti-imperialism. In order to reflect about
federalism, a painful absence in the mainstream politics of Europe of
'92, it is no longer sufficient to analyse the crisis of the elites.
It has also become necessary to be on the look-out for its
manifestations at the basis.

What is happening to contemporary art today? What are the issues and
the potentials of contemporary art that are unleashing such fierce
desires of revenge and the dazzling publicity that was given to this
'querelle'? What has the notion of 'avant-garde' become today? What
is valuable in this 'contemporary art' that can indifferently be
associated to both the 'terrorist register of modernity' or to the
post-modern kingdom of the 'commodity'? What happened, finally, to
art today? And what about practices of engagement by artists and
collectives?

'Multitudes', Issue 5. Syncretism of Reason and the Critique of
Universalism.
The crisis of Republicanism in France, which is also a crisis of
abstract universalism, is fought out around extremely concrete
issues, such as gender equality, positive discrimination, dress
codes - eg against 'islamic scarves' - in public schools, pitting
against each others the proponents of juridic universalism and
communitarians who are quickly accused of representing the
fundamentalism of difference. Yet it is beyond question that in all
Western democracies, which have become mixed societies in reality if
not in statute, the intertwining of minority agendas engenders
different becoming-subjects than those prescribed by the Declaration
of Human Rights. The minority subject discovers, whether it is
through the experience of exclusion, or through taking part in
affirmative - rather than identitary - grouping: (a) that he is
instrumental through (his/her) specificity in creating a space that
is outside the norm; (b) that he has become the source of the
constitution of the universal becoming of the norm as a frontier,
benchmark, beacon; (c) that it is only through the experience of this
minority-becoming that (the) universal (value(s)) can exist for the
other.

The hardcopy edition of 'Multitudes' will have six regular features
spread over 200 pages: 'En tete' (Headline) will give an
explanatory overview of each issue's content. 'Inserts' is a 20-
pages space devoted to the European/ international editors of the
review. 'Majeure' (Major) will handle one specific topic in one or
more detailled articles, so as to attain critical mass. 'Icone' will
start with the 4-colors cover-pages, and go on for another 30 or so,
where artists can express themselves as they wish, with texts and
graphics, the latter however limited to black-and-white. 'Hors
champ' (off-range) will welcome texts and debates which break with
the tradition of seriousness in social sciences writings. 'Mineure'
