Review on the essay of Sissy Doutsiou "The Limitations of Anti-Sexism" from the book "We Are An Image From The Future"

Void Network post here the link from the site The Anvile Review [http://theanvilreview.org/node/25 ] and the review about the essay of the cultural activist, d.j. & poet Sissy Doutsiou from Void Network "The Limitations of Anti-Sexism" from the book "We Are An Image From The Future"

Working Our Chasms

The 1984 book Pleasure and Danger (edited by Carol Vance) starts with the premise that women have continued their vitriolic divide around sexwork, pornography, and other things sex-related because there is a basic disagreement about how we see sex itself---either as primarily pleasurable or as primarily dangerous.

The two articles here reviewed, "The Limitations of Anti-Sexism" (Sissy Doutsiou, We are an Image from the Future), and "Thinking through Perpetrator Accountability" (unnamed, Rolling Thunder #8), encourage an extension of this premise beyond the topic of sex, to people's perspectives on life in general.

New York Film Festival

Glass Bead Collective, WarCry Cinema and Void Network created an amazing anarchist film festival in New York with the help of many different collectives and creative film makers that offered films and perspectives.

It was the 4^th Anarchist Film Festival in honor of Brad Will our comrade who murdered by a government sniper in Oaxaca, Mexico on October 27, 2006, as he was filming the social uprising there. More than 250 people attended the wonderful venue and created an inspirational atmosphere.   

Many people and collectives showed their films and documentaries in the three screens walls bringing together art, politics and social awareness. Independent and anarchist filmmakers from around the world have traveled to NYC to screen their brilliant films and offer their ideas and their analysis. Many filmakers shared their narrations with us and explained the cause and the meaning of some short films and documentaries.

The night was passing and the people were staying. The event expanded in 8 hours of film shows, as also prose, manifesto and poetry readings.  The people were travelling all night into the global anarchist network.

At the midnight the Void Network people read fragments from We Are an Image From The Future book as also their poetry in a multi media environment featuring reading, Void Art and atmospheric melodic electronika.

In the next morning we participated in the Anarchist Book Fair panel The Insurrectionary Hypothesis, including except from Void Network, people from NYC student movements and activists from Copenhagen climate change summit.

Our talk in Anarchist Book fair about “We Are an Image from the Future” book and the Greek social revolt is taking place in Sunday 18 April in 3.30 in the afternoon

Our last talk in U.S.A. will be in Tuesday 20 April 2010 in Bluestockings Bookshop

Steal From Work Global Day // 15 April 2010

Void Network 

announces the participation to the

Steal From Work Global Day

and invites all friends to come together 

this day and all other days

all over the world and

Steal From Work

Does your boss work less than you but take home a bigger paycheck? Is somebody zipping around in a private jet at your expense? If the corporation is making money at the end of the day, that means they’re not paying you the full value of your labor – that’s where corporate profit comes from! So if you need something in your workplace, take it. You earned it! It could be a paper clip, or some cash out of the register, or full-on embezzlement. If you’re a barista, grab a bag of coffee; if you work at a garage, get a wrench set. If you’re unemployed, take something from someone else’s workplace! Unemployment works for the bosses, too – it forces people to take any job they can, and sends the message to other workers that if they don’t knuckle under they’ll be in for it too. You could share it with your friends, or give it to your family – the family you never see because of your job. You could use it yourself, to do something you’ve always dreamed of – maybe something making use of all that potential you would fulfill if only you didn’t have to work for someone else all the time. Steal something from work! Break down the divisions that separate you from your co-workers. Work together to maximize your under-the-table profit-sharing; make sure all of you are safe and getting what you need. Don’t let the boss pit you against each other – in the end, that only makes all of you more vulnerable. Build up enough trust that you can graduate from taking things from work to taking control of your workplace itself! Chances are you already steal from your work – if not physical items, at least time on the clock. Good for you! But don’t stop there – think of how much more you could take, how much more you deserve.

do you really need more arguments and reasons

to participate in the Steal From Work Global Day?

Pittsbourgh Pennsylvania // We Are an Image From the Future U.S.A. Tour 2010

Our talk in Pittsburgh maybe was one of the most enthusiastic and inspirational meetings of all the tour. The talk took place at the Union Project

The Pittsburgh Organizing Group, the influential group that organized our talk having a lot of very well educated and really committed comrades. This group is maybe one of the most well organized, well rooted in their city and long time well functioning group that we came in contact until now in U.S.A.  [http://www.organizepittsburgh.org/]

They organized one of the best talks of all tour as it succeeded to bring together people from a vast cultural, social and political background, a fact that broke the isolation of our ideas and offered the best possible chances for expanding the dialogue about Greece and about U.S.A.

  

Another very interesting group with great potentials is

The Greater Pittsburgh Anarchist Collective [http://gpacattack.org/], that is the realization of impassioned desires to collectively create anarchy. GPAC exists primarily to promote the anarchist ideal in an open, inclusive manner. We are based out of the East End of Pittsburgh. We seek to support all resistance against the state and all tendencies and hierarchies that alienate and oppress the people of our city and the people of the world.

For all possible info about what is happening in Pittsbourg:

The Pittsburgh Independent Media Center is the portion of the global Indymedia network located in western Pennsylvania. The purpose of the Pittsburgh IMC is to provide an alternative media outlet to the inhabitants of this fair city and the surrounding land.

We have to thank deeply our friends in Pittsburg :

Pittsburgh Organizing Group (POG) is an anarchist group based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Their goal is the creation of a directly democratic, free society capable of maximizing human potential and freedom within a framework of collective responsibility, mutual-aid, and solidarity

http://www.organizepittsburgh.org/

As Pittsburgh and its coal mines have a strong workers struggle tradition and as the economic crisis spread every day misery and desperation in the hearts of the young people,... the last hours before our departure from the city we had the historical chance to see in a museam the original knife used by the anarchist writer, publisher and activist Alexander Berkman, who in his 22 years did a failed attempt with this knife to murder Henry Clay Frick, one of the most cruel factory owner of that period in Pittsburgh. You can read and understand the great importance of this hero, the lover and life long friend of Emma Goldman, Alexander Berkman:

Bloomington Minesota // We Are an Image From The Future U.S.A. Tour 2010

We arrived in Bloomington in a wonderful sunny afternoon… Our talk took place for more than 3 hours in Boxcar Books and Community Center that is a volunteer powered, non-profit organization that exists to provide new and used books, zines, magazines, and comics on topics of social justice, independent media, and fiction for the community

[http://www.boxcarbooks.org/]

Bloomington had many wonderful surprises for us. We met amazing interesting people, we were accommodated by two super nice girls and we spend some amazing hours from house to house talking about everything with all Bloomington’s motherfuckers. Bloomington, even if it’s a small city has a strong anarchist radical space that will create influential efforts in the close future

Some of the Bloomington’s local struggles that ask for support and solidarity are :

[http://stopi69.wordpress.com/]

I-69 highway is a NAFTA superhighway, already constructed from Canada to Indianapolis and projected to extend down into Mexico. This is the struggle of organizing against it…
