The Right to the City

category dublin | education | event notice author Friday May 06, 2011 17:53author by Mick - Campaign for the Old Dublin City Arts Buildingauthor email cityartscampaign at gmail dot com Report this post to the editors

open discussion forum

The Talking Shop is a new discussion forum organised by the Campaign for the Old City Arts Building and the Provisional University. Our first session looks at The Right to the City. Seomra Spraoi 6.30 Monday 16th of May

Anyone living in Dublin over the last decades can see that today the city itself is at the centre of social transformation and in particular the expansion of neo-liberalism. In this context the ‘right to the city’ has been proposed as an important demand for social movements. In this session we’ll look at the politics of cities today (property crisis, gentrification, NAMA etc.) and talk about the right to the city as a way of fighting back.

People might want to read David Harvey’s Right to the City (although it’s a bit academic):

You can also check out this video of Harvey talking about ‘accumulation by dispossession’:

While the entire city is approaching something akin to an arab regime level of policing, the anarchists in this city are having a bookfair completely ignoring it, and on Monday having an academic discussion about something not connected (maybe a bit in a very distant sense) to what is actually happening on the streets of Dublin RIGHT NOW.

I dont dispute the need for debate and discourse but it seems ostrich-like, removed from reality, when you see the level of repression happening.

its a marathon, not a sprint.

The current visits are just making the long covert reality a wee bit more overt and obvious. Rabid reaction and hair-triggers will only serve the security whippers. The first hundered years are the hardest, after that its downhill. Organisation takes time.
