[PeDAGoG] Living Utopias Videos

[sarah white]

I also loved the video - thank you for sharing. Sujit - this video is a few years old now, and set in the context of the US, (and I disagree with promoting identity politics, nationalism, and representative democracy), but I love the premise of activating our radical imaginations to expand the possible. The second video is more recent, and I have fewer criticisms. I use them both with students to inspire radical imagination projects...

Terrific – the animation video  Mofwoofoo

I and my colleague Pallavi at Azim Premji University , Bangalore teach a course called “Living Utopias” and two of the modules are Rojavas and Zapatista and we also take a class on Anarchism. We will use this video.

We conduct this course (a) in our University at the Mater’s level as a 3 credit one semester course (b) as 6 day intensive workshop for anyone interested (c) and bits and pieces with alternative activists at grass roots as per their demand in the  vernacular ( so far in Hindi and Bengali ) .

I am attaching the course outline. Maybe you ,and others in this group , have more such videos which will be useful .

Thanks

Sujit

It is great to finally see someone saying it for what it is, that is, anarchism. Exactly, what I have been advocating all along, watch the 7 minute animation that I completed in April, 2020: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wywMhg604W8&t=5s. If you see the value in this, you might help spread it around.

The "eco-anarchist" transition strategy relies on “prefiguring” the new social forms in the existing society. The most effective way to get people to see the sense and the merits of the new ways is to establish as many examples of them as possible here and now. This approach minimizes the chances of violent conflict; if we persuade large numbers to the alternative then radical change in structures might be brought about peacefully.



Friends,

A new article, "The path to a just and sustainable society" has been uploaded to the "Radical Ecological Democracy" website. In the second part of his discussion on “Eco-anarchism”, Ted Trainer lays out the core characteristics of a post consumer capitalist society, operating on the principles of “The Simpler Way”.  Please share the article with your networks and join the discussion on REDlistserv. The author is copied here in case you would like to contact him directly.

Best,
