Hello Commoners,

the millions of refugees from the Middle East and Africa – as well as
the countless deaths from this movement – show: the nation state's
borders delineate the edges of its territory and decide, who is entitled
to basic rights or human rights, or even quite fundamentally whether a
person may survive or not. Yet, borders on which it is determined, who
gets access to a place, that is both liveable and worth living, can be
found practically anywhere. They can be located where not only bodies,
but also data, goods and money are conveyed, namely: in the
infrastructure of globalization. That means, that the borders that help
structure political and economic participation e.g. in Europe can be
manifested in the database of a social network, in the Mediterranean Sea
– and at a German Job Center.

Against the backdrop of increasing inequality worldwide, the
international TACIT FUTURES conference invites you from October 27 to 29
to investigate the (frequently invisible) sites of movement control and
to explore both their democratic potential and hidden futures: shouldn't
borders be administered transparently as "interfaces" of mobility and
circulation? Shouldn't the most recent refugee movement, which is flying
in the face of the regulative function of borders to claim their right
to a better life – shouldn't this movement be taken as the occasion to
hold a debate on principles, long overdue in our society, about
political and economic participation to place it on new, revolutionary
ground?

Taking the motto THE WORLD IS IN MOTION – CAN WE CONTROL ALL OF THE
TRAFFIC DEMOCRATICALLY? as a starting point the Berliner Gazette (BG)
and Volksbühne at Rosa-Luxemburg Platz invite you to discuss these
issues with net activism pioneer Konrad Becker, internationally
celebrated process philosopher Brian Massumi, leading refugee activists
from the International Women Space, anti-deportation activist Marcus
Staiger and the key thinker of the post-colonial movement Gayatri
Chakravorty Spivak. Join them at three Public Talks!
