Informal University in Foundation
Informelle Universität in Gründung, 19-07-2004 15:27
The Informal University in Foundation [IU] is an initiative from students of the Technical University Berlin and has emerged f8rom the student protests during the wintersemester 2003/2004. We try to stimulate critical discussions about societal structures in general and from an architectural point of view; we are working on ideas concerning our working and social environment now and in the future.

Our contribution to the student protests was the action called “Aktive Verslummung – Berlin wird Weltstadt” (“active slumming – berlin becomes cosmopolitan”). Starting from the forecourt of the TU-Berlin at the Ernst-Reuter Platz, trash huts were built in order to serve as an informal protest university. In the follow up huts were spread at neuralgic spots of the city intending to provoke debates by causing irritation .

Research on Anarchism
, 07-07-2004 04:40
Research on Anarchism is an interactive website and data base in English, French, and Italian, of articles, dissertations, theses and bibliographies related to
art, cinema, music, literature, politics, philosophy, and history. It includes brief biographies and texts by leading contemporary and historical writers.
There are also links to full text political writings when these are available. Other features of the site include online discussion forums and news on contemporary relevant events.

There are many pictures of anarchism, the rejection of all forms of domination ... Anarchism appears as a political theory and a social movement in the nineteenth century. For some people it is an ethical choice, for others a certain artistic perspective,
a form of culture, or a utopia. It can even be seen - in a more sophisticated way - as a possible epistemological paradigm.

CASA: Cultural Analysis Summer Academy
john, 03-04-2004 15:47
First CASA meeting on Acting & Spectating

It seems to be a given that academics do traditionally think. But in the past and the present many scholars have seen themselves confronted with the tension between what we see/think and what we do/want to do. This tension has not been resolved, but has become even more pertinent recently. The two concepts "Acting" and "Spectating" conceptualize this tension, and this is why we chose them as the theoretical concepts of the first CASA meeting.
