Stock market instability. Stagnant wages and the decline of purchasing power. War. Climate change. Despite these multiplying crises, capitalism retains an essential tool that allows it to perpetuate itself on a global level despite its internal contradictions: the ability to leverage technological developments to liquidate the political power of those who would oppose it. At such a crossroads, when labor as an organized force is being dissolved into flexible precarity, how does one attempt to tip the scales and reverse our accelerating fragility? The answer lies in a shift of focus, from a politics of power to a politics that looks critically at infrastructure, a politics of re-purpose, (re-)design, appropriation and the reclamation of space, and of new forms of economic expression.</span></p><p style="border:0px;margin:0px 0px 24px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline"><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">Whatever the future will be, or whatever name we want to label the path to it, there is one realization that is facing us: it must be post-capitalist. We firmly believe that another world <em style="border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline">is</em> possible, but it must be built, and the rules and programs for this construction are still largely unwritten.</span></p><p style="border:0px;margin:0px 0px 24px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline"><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">We propose the creation of a zone of experimentation with the intention of bringing together dissenting agencies with critical practices in hopes of finding prototypes and models for a post-capitalist society. Such a platform calls for a cross-pollination of ideas, a shared and in-depth dialogue, and easily accessible means for hands-on experimentation. This new space will be open to all wanting to participate.</span></p><p style="border:0px;margin:0px 0px 24px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline"><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">The topics we hope to cover include – but are not limited to:</span></p><ul style="border:0px;margin:0px 0px 24px 1.5em;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;list-style:square"><li style="border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline"><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">The politics of infrastructure</span></li><li style="border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline"><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">The remaking of space by neoliberal capitalism</span></li><li style="border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline"><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">The relationships between big data, media, and infrastructure</span></li><li style="border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline"><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">Tactics and strategies for re-purposing technologies, complex systems, infrastructure and the politicization of spatial practices</span></li><li style="border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline"><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">D.I.Y. techniques and how-to guides</span></li><li style="border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline"><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">Alternative economies</span></li><li style="border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline"><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">Sustainable living, agriculture, energy, and architecture</span></li><li style="border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline"><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">The possibilities and pitfalls of automation</span></li><li style="border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline"><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">Eco-activism and infra-activism</span></li><li style="border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline"><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">Intervention design</span></li><li style="border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline"><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">Tactical media</span></li><li style="border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline"><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">New and experimental cartographies</span></li><li style="border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline"><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">Peer-to-peer approaches to production and distribution</span></li></ul><p style="border:0px;margin:0px 0px 24px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline"><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">Contributions can take a variety of forms:</span></p><ul style="border:0px;margin:0px 0px 24px 1.5em;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;list-style:square"><li style="border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline"><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">Articles and essays</span></li><li style="border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline"><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">Fragments and speculations</span></li><li style="border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline"><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">Videos, links, and commentaries</span></li><li style="border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline"><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">How-to guides, plans, and prototypes</span></li><li style="border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline"><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">Reports, stories, and interviews</span></li></ul><p style="border:0px;margin:0px 0px 24px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline"><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">Anyone who is interested need only drop us a line here, or you can email me at <a href="mailto:Edmund.b.berger@gmail.com" style="border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline" target="_blank">Edmund.b.berger@gmail.com</a>.</span></p><p style="border:0px;margin:0px 0px 24px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline"><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)"><br></span></p><p style="border:0px;margin:0px 0px 24px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline"><a href="https://deterritorialinvestigations.wordpress.com/2015/03/21/rebuilding-a-call-for-contributors/" target="_blank">https://deterritorialinvestigations.wordpress.com/2015/03/21/rebuilding-a-call-for-contributors/</a></p></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>
