China has cancelled Christmas in Hong Kong this year. Officials have ordered that the usual celebrations be 'toned down'. It's part of a creeping intolerance that leaves churches fearing for the future, says John MacNab.

Talks and Films With An Anarchist Theme

Films, and discussions with an anarchist bent. There will be a selection of radical books and zines availible at all events couresy of Red Ink Books (above flip, opp the central bank)

Week One

Weds 23rd at 1pm Room E114: The Revolution of Everyday Life: Squatting and Skip Hunting.

Weds 23rd Th P 6pm The Corporation.

“One hundred and fifty years ago, the corporation was a relatively insignificant entity. Today, it is a vivid, dramatic and pervasive presence in all our lives. Like the Church, the Monarchy and the Communist Party in other times and places, the corporation is today’s dominant institution. But history humbles dominant institutions. All have been crushed, belittled or absorbed into some new order. The corporation is unlikely to be the first to defy history. In this complex and highly entertaining documentary, Mark Achbar, co-director of the influential and inventive MANUFACTURING CONSENT: NOAM CHOMSKY AND THE MEDIA, teams up with co-director Jennifer Abbott and writer Joel Bakan to examine the far-reaching repercussions of the corporation’s increasing preeminence. Based on Bakan’s book The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power, the film is a timely, critical inquiry that invites CEOs, whistle-blowers, brokers, gurus, spies, players, pawns and pundits on a graphic and engaging quest to reveal the 4corporation’s inner workings, curious history, controversial impacts and possible futures. Featuring illuminating interviews with Noam Chomsky, Michael Moore, Howard Zinn and many others, THE CORPORATION charts the spectacular rise of an institution aimed at achieving specific economic goals as it also recounts victories against this apparently invincible force.”

Thursday 24th at 5 O Clock, Th O : Beyond Binaries: Sex and Gender Liberation (hosted by newman society)


Week Two of the series will feature:

Tuesday March 1st at 1pm: The Zapatistas - Ten Years On

Tuesday March 1st 5pm The Fourth World War, a Bignoise Film

“From the front-lines of conflicts in Mexico, Argentina, South Africa, Palestine, Korea, 'the North' from Seattle to Genova, and the 'War on Terror' in New York, Afghanistan, and Iraq.
It is the story of men and women around the world who resist being annihilated in this war.

While our airwaves are crowded with talk of a new world war, narrated by generals and filmed from the noses of bombs, the human story of this global conflict remains untold. "The Fourth World War" brings together the images and voices of the war on the ground. It is a story of a war without end and of those who resist.

The product of over two years of filming on the inside of movements on five continents, "The Fourth World War" is a film that would have been unimaginable at any other moment in history. Directed by the makers of "This Is What Democracy Looks Like" and "Zapatista", produced through a global network of independent media and activist groups, it is a truly global film from our global movement.”

Weds March 2nd at 1pm: Ray O Reilly of the IWU on Radical Unions Organising Ordinary Workplaces and workers rights.

Weds March 2nd at 5pm Precarity: A film On Workplace Resistance In The 21st Century

“MayDay! MayDay! We are the precariat. We are hireable on demand, available on call, exploitable at will and fireable at whim. We have become skilful jugglers of jobs and contortionists of flexibility. But beware, we are agitating with a common strategy to share our flexfights."

The multilingual DVD "Precarity" is part of an ongoing experiment of collective self-defense. It is a compilation of 17 videos documenting on the rebellion of precarious flexworkers and gives cross continental coverage of conflicts that have been kept invisible for too long: the occupation of the premises by McStrikers in Paris, the struggle for a union of fired Korean Telecom temporary workers, the impossible efforts of Bulgarian and Turkish textile workers to make 'clean clothes' for the Olympic dream. At the dark side of today's postindustrialist economy, millions of casualized young temps are stuck in 'non-standard' jobs, unable to make plans for the future, blackmailable because of the lack of union rights and excluded from basic social rights such as maternity, sick leave or the luxury of paid holidays. While still peripheral in the public mind, flexworkers are increasingly organising and becoming aware that their condition is far from accidental and temporary. Emerging conflicts of rebelling Précaires are bringing a disruptive, socio-political identity into being. A new form of social elf-representation is agitating across the continents and flexworkers, chainworkers, brainworkers, sexworkers and foreign-born workers start to share their flexfights with a common strategy.

Précaires aren't peripheral. They are core producers of neoliberal wealth and creators of knowledge, style and culture enclosed and appropriated by monopoly power. The precarious producers of the DVD (videomakers, media-activists, translators, technicians and
fightsharers) did all understand the persuasive power of pop culture and are moving the labour conflict from the level of negotiation into reticular and direct-action based labour organization built around communicative practices.”
