| from 19:30 | Re:control – Modifications of Rule Katja Diefenbach will challenge the concept of control form a theoretical perspective and illustrate the development of a trans-national homogenised interior, in which social inequality is increasing, the borderlines of interior and exterior are shifting. Control institutions that are utilized to regulate and fend off migration for the “war on terror” are changing. Gaston Ebua, from the perspective of the self-organisation of refugees, will reflect on migrant realities in a world order where economic structures as well as political and military enforcement of interests are destroying the home countries of migrants. He will consider the racialisation processes in the Western hemisphere using the campaigns “9/11-war for civilisation”, “New Europe” and “Du bist Deutschland” as an example. The focus will be on the continuity from colonialism to deportation and refugee camp systems, but also the autonomy of resistance. Raul Zelik will use the example of Columbia to analyse concrete control politics of paramilitary and governmental bodies of force as well as strategies to legitimate the state through extra-governmental means. Governmental elites are not only securing the access to resources, but also the control on social processes which could become a threat to the prevailing order.

| 20:00-22:00 | Public Panel Discussion: Iran Enrichment! Claudia Haydt (IMI), Farshid Feridony, Sussan Jafari Who argues with which interests about which issues, if it comes to the matter of the use of enriched uranium by Iran? What explains the focussing on questions of nuclear and anti-Semitic threat by the Islamic state on the one hand and the right to a country’s self-determination – also with regard to energy politics – and modernisation on the other hand? Which problems, perspectives and alternative practices are being ruled out, if the fight is about peoples’ control, but also global rule and control? We want to make room for these perspectives, contradictions and objections as well as for the debate on the present socio-economic and political situation in Iran. Which meaning does the use of nuclear energy have in its double function (modernisation & weapon) in this context? Which oppositional powers position themselves in what way in this area of conflict? To what extent is the anti-Semitic agitation of Ahmadinedshad a strategy to gain political stability even though the population’s poverty is increasing and the support of the regime is decreasing? Which alternative ideas on the development of the country and on the solution of the conflict are there, who propagates them and who needs our solidarity? |
