Common |Resistance |Independence |Exodus
Common -resistance, independence, exodus- is a political inquiry journal
that is born during the crisis, during the global tsunami. We have set this
journal as a dispositive to investigate the present time in the framework
of the economic crisis that we are experiencing, looking for some
directions of political action, measuring a new temporality and discovering
the mutations of behaviour and imagery. The journal forces us or, as you
prefer, facilitate us to think collectively about the phase; identifying
the common feature of the time we are living in, looking for a sense that
enables us to understand the contingency, using it as a effective compass
for the political action.
The field of education, the process of impoverishment in terms of
perspective and future for the young generation, are the research fields
for the debut of Common. In the epoch of cognitive capitalism, in an
apparent paradox, it seems that the governance of the productive forces
passes through a sort of war on knowledge. Starting from inquiring the
biggest student movement in Italy and Europe since 1968, this issue is an
attempt to analyze the new political anthropology within the temporality of
the movement, its discontinuity and challenges.
«In the background», «in figura» and «lines of flight» are the three main
sections that compose Common. The methodology of inquiry, the themes
treated in this issue, such as institutions, self-education and common, are
dispositive to strengthen our resistance, to organize our independence, to
defend our exodus.
