Seminaret skal dels fokusere på baggrunden for krisen og hvilke økonomiske problemer der har udløst denne omfattende systemkrise som stadig udvikler sig. Og dels vil seminaret præsentere en gennemgang af hvordan krisen bliver oplevet i forskellige nationale sammenhænge rundt om på jorden.

6808 - Revolt and Representation

An international seminar about the revolt of 1968 viewed from today. The seminar will focus on the events of four major global cities: Chicago, Mexico City, Berlin and Copenhagen and will involve presentations, films, images, sound and discussions.

Today, former revolutionary events seem to circulate mostly as empty emblems devoid of the historical material they once contained. The fortieth anniversary of 1968 seemed generally to confirm this tendency where fragments of history return as decontextualised signifiers fueling a life style industry supplying consumers with fashionable items and clothes. But as the intense interest of right-wing politicians all over the world show, the revolts of 1968 still remains a central landmark in recent history worth fighting for. From Denmark and Germany to the USA populist politicians launch full-scale assaults on the still living tradition of the 60’s. On the background of the diverse experiences of 1968 in Chicago, Mexico City, Berlin and Copenhagen the seminar is intended to work as a platform for a renewed discussion of resistance and liberation within today’s social-political landscape characterized by globalization and war.

Based on the research and experiences collected during the 40th anniversary of 1968 in the four cities we would like to develop a differentiated understanding of the revolts that unfolded in various ways in these four social and political contexts. The representation of the events of 1968 is still contested In the historical material we will be searching for tools and strategies enabling us better to fight present-day commodity capitalism that is increasingly structuring the everyday across the globe.

The fortieth anniversary of 68 seemed generally to confirm this tendency where fragments of history return as decontextualised signifiers fueling a veritable pop revolutionary industry supplying youngsters with fashionable items and clothes. But as the intense interest of right-wing politicians all over the world show, the revolts of 1968 still remains a central landmark in recent history worth fighting for. From Denmark and Germany to USA populist politicians launch full-scale assaults on the still living tradition of the 60’s.

On the background of the research and experiences collected during the last year in the four city, we would like to develop a differentiated understanding of the revolts that unfolded in various ways in the four social and political contexts in 1968. In the historical material we will be searching for tools and strategies enabling us better to fight present-day commodity capitalism that is increasingly structuring the everyday across the globe. The seminar is intended to work as a platform for a discussion of resistance and liberation within today’s context characterized by globalization and war on the background of the the diverse experiences of 1968 and 2008 from four major cities.

The workshop is going to take place over two days (November 20 & 21) with dedicated blocks of 3 hours for each city containing a presentation and documentary materials in shape of films, images and sound.
