<br>
the millions of refugees from the Middle East and Africa – as well as<br>
the countless deaths from this movement – show: the nation state's<br>
borders delineate the edges of its territory and decide, who is entitled<br>
to basic rights or human rights, or even quite fundamentally whether a<br>
person may survive or not. Yet, borders on which it is determined, who<br>
gets access to a place, that is both liveable and worth living, can be<br>
found practically anywhere. They can be located where not only bodies,<br>
but also data, goods and money are conveyed, namely: in the<br>
infrastructure of globalization. That means, that the borders that help<br>
structure political and economic participation e.g. in Europe can be<br>
manifested in the database of a social network, in the Mediterranean Sea<br>
– and at a German Job Center.<br>
<br>
Against the backdrop of increasing inequality worldwide, the<br>
international TACIT FUTURES conference invites you from October 27 to 29<br>
to investigate the (frequently invisible) sites of movement control and<br>
to explore both their democratic potential and hidden futures: shouldn't<br>
borders be administered transparently as "interfaces" of mobility and<br>
circulation? Shouldn't the most recent refugee movement, which is flying<br>
in the face of the regulative function of borders to claim their right<br>
to a better life – shouldn't this movement be taken as the occasion to<br>
hold a debate on principles, long overdue in our society, about<br>
political and economic participation to place it on new, revolutionary<br>
ground?<br>
<br>
Taking the motto THE WORLD IS IN MOTION – CAN WE CONTROL ALL OF THE<br>
TRAFFIC DEMOCRATICALLY? as a starting point the Berliner Gazette (BG)<br>
and Volksbühne at Rosa-Luxemburg Platz invite you to discuss these<br>
issues with net activism pioneer Konrad Becker, internationally<br>
celebrated process philosopher Brian Massumi, leading refugee activists<br>
from the International Women Space, anti-deportation activist Marcus<br>
Staiger and the key thinker of the post-colonial movement Gayatri<br>
Chakravorty Spivak. Join them at three Public Talks!<br>
