+The exhibition Pirate Care is a survey of the increasingly present forms of activism at the intersection of “care” and “piracy”, which are trying to intervene in new and interesting ways in one of the most important challenges of our time: the “crisis of care” in its many interconnected dimensions.
----
+We live in a time in which care, as a political and collective capacity of societies to attend to the most fundamental needs of humans and their living environments, is becoming more difficult or criminalised. Against this state of affairs, a number of autonomous, bottom-up initiatives share a willingness to openly disobey laws, regulations and dominant social norms whenever these stand in the way of solidarity and life. Crucially, they politicise their disobedience to contest the status quo. That disobedience and that politicisation are what defines these practices as ‘pirate care’.
-Pirate Care is a research process - primarily based in the transnational European space - that maps the increasingly present forms of activism at the intersection of “care” and “piracy”, which in new and interesting ways are trying to intervene in one of the most important challenges of our time, that is, the ‘crisis of care’ in all its multiple and interconnected dimensions.
+The exhibition presents a survey of both contemporary and historical cases. It builds on the online Pirate Care Syllabus (https://syllabus.pirate.care), created with the aim of supporting collective learning from these initiatives. The Syllabus comes integrated with a library of all references mentioned in its sessions. It lives on the experimental publishing platform Sandpoints, initially developed for this project and designed to support processes of publishing collaborative writing.
-These practices are experimenting with self-organisation, alternative approaches to social reproduction and the commoning of tools, technologies and knowledges. Often they act disobediently in expressed non-compliance with laws, regulations and executive orders that ciriminalise the duty of care by imposing exclusions along the lines of class, gender, race or territory. They are not shying risk of persecution in providing unconditional solidarity to those who are the most exploited, discriminated against and condemned to the status of disposable populations.
+Pirate Care was first exhibited in the context of Rijeka European Capital of Culture 2020, produced by Drugo More. While in Rijeka we presented the disobedient initiatives documented in the Syllabus, here in Zagreb we are sharing a broader range of pirate care practices that we came across during our four-year study.
-The Pirate Care Syllabus we present here for the first time is a tool for supporting and activating collective processes of learning from these practices. We encourage everyone to freely use this syllabus to learn and organise processes of learning and to freely adapt, rewrite and expand it to reflect their own experience and serve their own pedagogies.

-> 8th March 2020 - Please Note:
-> The Pirate Care Syllabus is still work in progress. Some topics and sessions are still under development,
-> more will be created during the residency at the Kunsthalle (beginning of April) and beyond.

-# Care, a political notion
-
-1. Caring is not intrinsically “nice”, it always involve power relations. Processes of discipline, exclusion and harm can operate inside the matrix of care.
-
-2. Care labour holds the capacity to disobey power and increase our collective freedom. This is why when it is organised in capitalist, patriarchal and racist ways, it does not work for most living beings. We are in a global crisis of care.
-
-3. There are no wrong people. Yet, caring for the “wrong” people is more and more socially discouraged, made difficult and criminalized. For many, the crisis of care has been there for a very long time.
-
-4. Caring is labour. it is necessary and it is skilled labour.
-
-5. Care labour is shared unfairly and violently in most societies, along lines of gender, provenance, race, class, ability, and age. Some are forced to care, while some defend their privilege of expecting service. This has to change.
-
-6. Caring labour needs full access to resources, knowledge, tools and technologies. When these are taken away, we must claim them back.

+Inevitably, there is no claim to comprehensiveness to our survey. Since our process of investigation is grounded in networks of activism in which we are also implicated, this is reflected in the geographical partiality and situatedness of the practices we were able to research.

+title: "Act Up"
+---
+
+Act Up is perhaps the best-known example of an international grassroots organization that has managed to impact legislation, research and standards of medical treatment for HIV/AIDS, starting from the self-organization processes of those who were directly impacted by the virus. Founded in 1987 in New York within an association of LGBT activists, the first Act Up initiatives focused on staging direct actions and protests with high media impact, such as die-ins, where they staged mass deaths.
+
+Alongside the innovative way of capturing media attention with creativity, there are at least two other aspects that make Act Up a very important example to help us think about care practices. The first has to do with the way in which the organization managed to scale up in a very short amount of time while staying committed to an open decision-making structure without leaders, where proposals and coordination were entrusted to an agile grouping of committees and assemblies able to make decisions democratically and autonomously.
+
+Another innovative trait of Act Up was its commitment to self-education, which focused both on scientific expertise and on understanding the rules and bureaucracies of the health system. The organization was able to modify the protocols that regulate experimental therapies through their “Parallel Track” program, which enlarged the number of participants in therapeutic trials on a voluntary basis, insisting that the patients must have full informed control over the design and implementation of the experiments.

+title: "The Anti-privatization Forum"
+---
+
+The Anti-Privatisation Forum and the Coalition Against Water Privatisation are a national social movement and activist organisation based in Soweto and Orange Farm, districts in the West of Johannesburg, South Africa. In 2003 they coordinated a series of acts of civil disobedience in response to the installation of prepaid water meters. The meters left significant numbers of poor households without adequate water for their survival, the APF and CAWP undertook the illegal removal of the meters from disconnected households and freely reconnected them back to the water supply.
+
+Meters are the proposed “solution” to water scarcity in Johannesburg. The idea has been to commercialise it, with the assumption that treating water as an economic good will ensure more careful consumption at household level. Johannesburg Water (a private company, where the state is only a shareholder) sought to limit water consumption of the poorest neighbourhoods through the installation of prepayment water meters and flow restrictors.
+
+At that time, South African constitution guaranteed citizens the right to access ‘sufficient’ water, called Free Basic Water Supply. This allowance was 6 000 litres of free water per month - based on a calculation of 25 litres per person per day in a household of eight people, which was deemed to be adequate. With PPM, households were mostly cut off at mid-month, on day 12, after that inhabitants would have to try to get water from areas that don’t have meters. The burden of work, particularly for women, increased. If that was not possible, residents had to resort to any water they could find, which is most likely going to be unsafe.
+
+With installations beginning in 2003-4, Orange Farm and Phiri residents began resistance, working with the APF, CAWP and other organisations, with a campaign “Operation Vulamanzi” (“Operation Water Flow” or “Water for All”) which ran in parallel to campaign around electricity, where same thing was happening. In a number of direct actions, radical plumbers (and radical electricians) by-passed the meters, re-connecting people to supply, often visibly dumping the removed meters in public spaces.

+title: "Black Panther clinics"
+---
+
+In the 1960s and 1970s, the central part of the Panthers’ work for the rights of black people was the organization of mutual aid programs such as the “Free Breakfast for School Children Program”, which came to serve a free breakfast for over 20,000 children living in conditions of malnutrition in 60 different black communities across the USA. Other projects
+included drug and alcohol detoxification services; accompaniment services for the elderly who needed to visit the doctor; health education programs and even an ambulance service. In the 1970s, the Panthers volunteers managed 13 different clinics. During this process they gained sufficient experience in making authoritative interventions in the health policies
+and medical research debates of the time.
+
+In their clinics, they carried out a mass clinical screening that significantly contributed to the study of sickle cell anaemia (a genetic disease that particularly affects people of African descent). In addition, the Panthers opposed pseudoscientific and racist-based medical testing programs, such as the UCLA Center for the Study and Reduction of Violence, which intended to perform brain operations to counteract aggressive behaviour, and thefamous experiment in Tuskegee, Alabama, a clinical study that infected about 600 black men with the syphilis virus without their knowledge, under the pretense of offering medical care.

+title: "Docs not Cops"
+---
+
+Docs not Cops is a campaign of medical staff and patients resisting the regulation passed in 2017 by the HNS England requiring ID checks on all patients requiring non-emergency care, a measure promulgated following the 2014 and 2016 Immigration Acts, aimed at policing migrants. On the grounds that they've been trained to provide care universally to all who need it, the groups of medical staff in hospitals have been refusing to act as the extended arm of the immigration service. Furthermore, they have been refusing the introduction of charges for migrants, as that would plant the seed for further expansion of the charging system to other patients.
+
+To this effect, Docs not Cops have organised the campaign Patients Not Passports, providing instruction kits for medical professionals and community members to help migrants receive medical assistance without the ID check and to help them avoid unwarranted and unnecessary charges. The campaign was organised in partnership with Migrants Organise and Medact, another medical profession organisation contesting the social, political and economic conditions which damage health, deepen health inequalities and threaten peace and security.
+
+By organising the collective disobedience of doctors and nurses, and working together with healthcare activists, teachers, workers and voters, Docs not Cops have acted to uphold the principle of universal right to free health care, while demanding an end to securitisation and neoliberalisation of health care.

+title: "El Paquete"
+---
+
+El paquete semenal (“The Weakly Package”) is a system of offline digital distribution in Cuba, where hard drives with weekly selections of books, newspapers, music, films and tv programming, as well as software tools, mobile apps and even websites, are delivered to subscribers against a small payment of 2 cuban convertible pesos. As Cuba has been under a US embargo since 1958, with particularly crippling effects since the end of the Cold War, the internet infrastructure was slow to develop. When combined with government restrictions, this has meant that Cubans have gained access to the internet very late. Before the recent arrival of mobile phones, it was available primarily through public access points, offering very limited bandwidth. Therefore, since the mid-2000s Cubans have had to rely on El paquete to access both local independent and foreign digital content.
+
+El paquete is a “sneakernet”, a transfer of digital information by means of physical media. Sneakernets were everywhere the dominant form of distribution of digital music, films and books before the arrival of broadband. If it weren't for the HARRYFAN CD, a collection of hand-typed Sci-Fi texts in Russian, purportedly there wouldn't be LibGen today.
+
+El paquetes are created by “matrices” who have access to broadband and copying infrastructure necessary to compile content coming from the disks arriving from abroad, independently produced Cuban content and downloaded content. They pass the content down to “paqueteros”, who invest a bit of money into USB drives, which they recoup through the distribution to their subscribers. As long as matrices and paqueteros steer away from political propaganda, they are tolerated to distribute a broad gamut of information.
+
+El paquete functions in Cuba as a parallel internet to the expensive internet provided by the state telco ETECSA and used only for communication. Significantly though, this is not a form of access exclusive to digital goods: amid the scarcity of Cuban economy, informal systems of social provision have been the mainstay of Cuban life, a necessary form of access to non-essential and sometimes essential goods.

+title: "Four Thieves Vinegar"
+---
+
+Four Thieves Vinegar collective is a group of anarchist biohackers founded in 2015 who combine free/open chemistry with open-source hardware in response to the pricing policies of big pharma companies. The collective has independent biology, chemistry, data science, programming and hardware teams whose degree of collaboration is dictated by the project at hand.
+
+Four Thieves doesn’t sell anything, but publishes instructions for others to assemble the necessary devices to produce a range of medicines.
+
+Their first project published instructions for a DIY epipen – an epinephrine autoinjector they named the EpiPencil - that can be made for $30 and reloaded for $3. The second is instruction on how to build a full MicroLab. The MicroLab includes a reaction chamber consisting of a small mason jar mounted inside a larger mason jar with a 3D-printed lid. A few small plastic hoses and a thermistor to measure temperature are then attached through the lid to circulate fluids through the contraption to induce the chemical reactions necessary to manufacture various medicines. The whole process is automated using a small computer that costs about $30.
+
+Four Thieves Vinegar claims to have successfully synthesized five different kinds of pharmaceuticals using MicroLab. They used the device to produce Naloxone, a drug used to prevent opiate overdoses better known as Narcan; Daraprim, a drug that treats infections in people with HIV; Cabotegravir, a preventative HIV medicine; and mifepristone and misoprostol, two chemicals needed for medical abortions.
+
+Since Four Thieves Vinegar isn’t actually selling or distributing the medicines made by its members, what they're doing isn’t technically illegal. They are effectively just liberating information on how to manufacture certain medicines at home and developing the open-source tools to make it happen.
+In the future, Four Thieves Vinegar wants to focus on manufacturing drugs for orphan diseases, which are defined as conditions that affect fewer than 200,000 people worldwide. If a drug for the disease exists, it is generally prohibitively expensive to obtain.

+title: "Frank's Hospital Workshop"
+---
+
+The growing intimacy between technology and the body requires extending the ethics of care to objects. Yet, maintaining and repairing such technologies is often difficult, lengthy and costly for users due to manufacturers’ desire to maintain control over the products. The data provided by the World Health Organization is discouraging: in some countries, 50% of medical machinery is unusable at any given time; in some cases, this figure is as high as 80%.
+
+Alongside organized legal battles for the right to repair (such as the one carried forward by the Repair Association in the United States), some technicians have chosen to react to the situation with bottom-up initiatives. This is the case with Mike, the retired biomedical technician who runs The Electric Squirrel site, which is dedicated to the maintenance of the most common technical equipment in use across the southern hemisphere.
+
+It also applies to Frank Weithoener, another technician specializing in biomedical machinery, based in Tanzania. Frank, who has worked as an instructor and consultant in several so-called “developing” countries, claims to have opened his site because he was tired of meeting absurd obstacles to repair everywhere he went. On his website Frank’s Hospital Workshop, he collects and publishes all the maintenance and technical documentation manuals he can get his hands on, as well as providing his own tutorials. As expected, manufacturing companies such as Weyer, General Electric and others regularly threaten to sue Frank, telling him to take the manuals offline. But fortunately, he has thus far resisted the pressure and continued in his mission: to take care of the machines we need to cure ourselves.

+title: "Greek solidarity clinics"
+---
+
+The 2008 economic crisis hit Greece particularly hard — it left a quarter of the workforce jobless; wages and pensions tumbled by as much as 40%, while the GDP was reduced by a quarter. As many as 32% of Greek citizens were pushed below the poverty line, and almost 30% were left without medical insurance. The situation became extremely dire also for the 700.000 undocumented migrants present in the country, who were already struggling to cope with social deprivation before. The austerity policies introduced to face the financial crisis were contrasted by waves of mass mobilisations and protests, out of which the Greek Solidarity Movement emerged. Over the course of the next couple of years, the GSM started to organise food banks, soup kitchens, cooperatives, pharmacies and health clinics across the entire country.
+
+To counter the public health disaster, the grassroots movement began to organise outpatient clinics and pharmacies where medical professionals worked alongside volunteering citizens to provide healthcare support to the uninsured. Up until 2014, there were some 140 solidarity clinics and around 90 pharmacies set up across Greece. They have been operating in spaces provided by the municipalities or private citizens, while their financing largely takes place through donations. Clinics have been run by medical professionals and lay volunteers, who worked with the wider network of the solidarity movement to address not only the health conditions but also the social and food insecurity of their patients in a comprehensive way. The clinics have been operating on the principles of commoning care, organising their work in a self-managed manner and maximising the use of resources such as privately donated medicines that would have otherwise gone wasted.
+
+The most intensive period of activity for the clinics lasted up until 2016 when the newly elected Syriza government introduced medical coverage for all citizens. Since then, the solidarity clinics have been focusing on providing healthcare to undocumented migrant communities, who were among the initial benefactors of this model when it first got developed eight years earlier.

+title: "Guerilla Open Access Manifesto"
+---
+
+In 2008 Aaron Swartz wrote in his Guerilla Open Access Manifesto:
+
+> Information is power. But like all power, there are those who want to keep it for themselves. The world's entire scientific and cultural heritage, published over centuries in books and journals, is increasingly being digitized and locked up by a handful of private corporations. Want to read the papers featuring the most famous results of the sciences? You'll need to send enormous amounts to publishers like Reed Elsevier…
+> We need to take information, wherever it is stored, make our copies and share them with the world. We need to take stuff that's out of copyright and add it to the archive. We need to buy secret databases and put them on the Web. We need to download scientific journals and upload them to file sharing networks. We need to fight for Guerilla Open Access.
+> With enough of us, around the world, we'll not just send a strong message opposing the privatization of knowledge — we'll make it a thing of the past. Will you join us?
+
+Heeding Aaron Swartz’s call to civil disobedience, guerilla open access as a practice of sharing books and articles has emerged out of the outrage over digitally-enabled enclosure of knowledge that has allowed for-profit academic publishers to appropriate extreme profits that stand in stark contrast to the cuts, precarity, student debt and asymmetries of access in education. Although guerilla open access is organised through communication platforms such as email, forums, Facebook (Ask for PDFs people with institutional Access) and Twitter (#ICanHazPDF), its principal infrastructure are the shadow libraries, most notably Library Genesis, Science Hub, Z-library, Aaaaarg.fail, Ubuweb, Monoskop and Memory of the World. Shadow libraries provide the decommodified access to knowledge and culture that public libraries have always provided in the world of print yet were denied the world of digital text.

+title: "Guerrilla Grafters"
+---
+
+The “Guerilla Grafters” are a group of food freedom fighters started in 2012 in San Francisco who graft fruit-producing limbs onto sterile urban trees, specifically bred not to bear fruit. Their mission is to provide free, healthy food where it’s needed most – urban food deserts.
+
+Typically, none of the trees in big cities produce nuts or fruit. City planners specifically select sterile varieties of many common fruit trees (apples, pears, plums, cherries) because of their beauty to decorate their streets. But they don’t want to be held liable for any potentially slippery messes fallen fruit could create on city sidewalks, or any animals it could attract (think bees, birds, squirrels).
+
+The group’s founder Tara Hui tried using all the legal avenues to get the city to legalize fruit trees, but she realized that was getting her nowhere. She has since formed a group of dozens of stealth grafters in the San Francisco Bay Area, with thousands of followers on Facebook, many of whom have formed grafting groups in their own cities.
+
+> … Grafting is a skilled performative and skilled sculptural gesture to cut branches in a way that make more branches, to attach branches that make fruit and viable pollen, to engage in relationships that fold economic divisions and redistribute abundance. What we wish to show is that scarcity is a condition of capitalism, and our performance/sculpture point to a way out, a very tiny step among many, of this condition, a condition that fundamentally relies on binaries of nature and culture, public and private. Guerrilla Grafters encourage looking at neighborhoods of more-than-human life in ways that generate resources rather than deplete them, from sunlight falling on rooftops, to coppiced ash for buildings and pathways that make for healthier trees, to deadheading plants like Hypericum perfolatum, a practice which makes more blossoms, for medicine. Guerrilla Grafters think that all artists (everyone) should make this kind of labor the center of their practice so that our earth, and our cities especially, are laboratories for survival….

+Access to reproductive healthcare is limited in many countries for ideological reasons or for the lack of basic services, resulting in denial of bodily integrity. Sexual health and well-being can be a taboo, gynaecological procedures invasive and painful, medical profession dominated by heteropatriarchal values, contraceptives too expensive to many women and pregnancy terminations pushed into illegality. Even there where public welfare systems do provide a comprehensive reproductive healthcare, it still might remain unavailable to many vulnerable groups such as undocumented immigrants, LGBTIQ+ people, sex workers and the uninsured.
+
+To counter this heteropartriarchal state of affairs, in mid-2010s a group of bio-hackers has come together as GynePunks in Pechablenda, the TransHackFeminist space in the post-capitalist eco-industrial colony Calafou in Catalonia, with the objective of reclaiming gynaecology and repoliticising feminism through biotechnological practices. GynePunks have worked with the Hacketeria network to develop open-source toolkits for gynaecological self-diagnosis and first-aid, consisting of centrifuges made from upcycled hard-disks, microscopes from disused webcams and 3D printed speculums that are better adapted to women's anatomy.
+
+This do-it-together and do-it-with-others biolab allows women to conduct basic tests for infections, cervical cancers, STDs and pregnancies. To complement the production of gynaecological and lab instruments, GynePunks, who have moved on to work in different constellations, organise workshops and performances to instigate collective material-affective encounters with biotechnologies and learning processes aimed at destigmatising, democratising and decolonising reproductive health from the clutches of biomedical violence.

+title: "Italian feminist self-managed health centres"
+---
+
+At the beginning of the 1970s, feminist movements placed the body at the centre of their political reflection. In Italy, feminists loudly reclaimed the right of self-determination of women, opening a public polemic against what they denounced as the "medicalisation" of life, the naturalisation of sexuality and of reproductive functions, and the "pathologisation" of ways of being and desires considered "deviant" from normative womanhood. During this period, activists began opening a new kind of self-managed health centres, often in occupied spaces, focusing specifically on women's health and reproductive medicine. These centres were just one of the many practices that the feminist movement simultaneously developed during that period to address the lack of care and research focused on the female body.
+
+Self-managed health centres were accompanied by other initiatives, such as the publication of informational pamphlets, self-help and consciousness-raising practices, networks in support of abortion. Feminist activists also performed symbolic occupations of hospitals and medical congresses to get the attention of the public.
+
+As Silvia Federici explained, one of the limitations of these feminist health policies, one that she fears ended up weakening the overall movement, was the progressive separation between the struggles for the right to abortion on the one hand and a more inclusive demand for "reproductive justice" on the other. The latter could have been focusing more attentively on the demands of those women who were denied the possibility of reproduction, either for economic or racial reasons; women whose children were taken away or who were subjected to forced sterilisation.

+
+The militarisation of the US southern border, with the erection of border walls, remote surveillance systems and the violent pushbacks carried out by the Border Patrol, as well as the vigilante killings perpetrated by the Minutemen paramilitaries, have pushed migrants to increasingly seek remote and dangerous routes into the US. The dangerous corridors, leading across 30-80-mile stretches of the Arizona desert, can result in disorientation, loss of life-saving supplies, dehydration, injuries and ultimately death. It is estimated that since the introduction of “prevention through deterrence” policy in the mid-1990s, more than 10.000 lives have perished along the US-Mexico border.
+
+Since 2004 the coalition of community and faith groups No More Deaths has been organising assistance to migrants to help them survive these dangerous crossings. On the north side of the border, the coalition’s volunteers provide year-round direct aid, by leaving water jugs, food, socks, blankets and other supplies in desert, conducting search and rescue for the disappeared and assisting migrants facing deportation, whereas in northern Mexico they run an information helpline and provide aid kits to reduce damage to health to those planning to cross the border.
+
+Abiding by the principles of civil initiative action, where “people of conscience work openly and in community to uphold fundamental human rights”, No More Deaths are advocating for a reform of immigration policies, as well producing reports on the destruction of humanitarian aid, dangerous apprehension policies and disappearance of migrants at the hands of Border Patrol and Minutemen.
+
+As a prominent case of criminalisation of solidarity, in 2018 the No More Deaths volunteer Scott Warren was arrested and charged with felony for allegedly giving food and water to two migrants in the west desert near Cabeza Prieta, facing five years in prison. In the year prior, eight volunteers were charged with misdemeanours for providing humanitarian aid. All were acquitted.

+title: "The Open Source Seed Initiative"
+---
+
+The Open Source Seed Initiative (OSSI) was established in the USA in 2011 with the mission to create a reservoir of seeds that couldn’t be patented. Its first open-source, un-patentable broccoli, kale and celery seeds were shared in the spring of 2014.
+
+In this era of ownership, the consolidation of seed companies has meant the consolidation of control over germplasm, the industry’s most essential tool. The plant breeders behind OSSI decry that trend for the constraints it puts on their individual breeding work, but they also see its damage in global terms, in terms of decreasing variety and democratic processes around food sovereignty.
+For most of human history, seeds have naturally been part of the commons. But with the advent of plant-related intellectual property, they become a resource to be mined for private gain. It took seed companies nearly a century to be able to apply utility patents (1980).
+
+Inspired by open-source software, OSSI’s initial idea was to use “the master’s tools” of intellectual property, but in ways the master never intended: to create and enforce an ethic of sharing. Unfortunately however, developing open source licenses for seeds is not that easy. Plant breeding isn’t governed by copyright law, and by breeding a plant one does not automatically own it. One would need to patent the plant first in order to then claim the “patent left” of declaring it open source. Moreover, normally patents and licenses need to last for only one generation of plants. But open source was supposed to allow the material to proliferate, which means OSSI would need to make sure that its license accompanied every new generation of plant.
+
+OSSI is continuing to look for alternatives to the increasing seed monopolies held by companies such as Monsanto, Syngenta and Dow. For the moment, its licence works as a pledge which works as a “copyleft commitment”.

+title: "Partisan hospitals"
+---
+
+During the People's Liberation War in Yugoslavia, under the extreme conditions of guerrilla warfare, partisan medical services performed a key strategic role in providing care for the sick and the wounded, saving thousands of civilian lives and returning thousands back into the battle. Although the presence of the wounded can have a crippling effect on the operational capacity of an army, the testament to People's Liberation Army's ethos of care is that the fiercest battles of WWII — the battles of Neretva and Sutjeska — were fought with the imperative of not leaving anyone behind.
+
+PLA's medical services were set up immediately as part of partisan detachments in 1941. They followed the same decentralised model, organised into an elaborate territorial network of central hospitals with many dispersed smaller wards, as well as mobile teams that followed the troops. Hospitals were set up both in occupied and liberated territories, and while initially lacking in medical personnel, facilities and equipment, as the PLA grew and the liberated territories expanded, medical services developed in capacity and experience. Equipment and medicines (including vaccines) were sourced by raids of enemy troops and hospitals, as well as contraband from the cities.
+
+Medical services were organised by experienced medical staff, consisting largely of women and minorities fleeing the Nazi occupiers and the quislings. However, they depended also on the support of the local population. For instance, Partisan hospital no. 7 on Mt. Javornica, above the village of Vukelić was built by local carpenters, whereas food supplies and cleaning work was provided by local women organised through the committees of the Antifascist Front of Women.
+
+This complex and, by war’s end, a well-organised system of overall 573 hospitals managed not only to provide care for the wounded but also coordinate the prevention of epidemics, the manufacture of medical supplies, and the training of medical staff, thereby laying the foundation for a rapid expansion of public healthcare in the immediate post-war years of socialism.

+Planka.nu fights for a fare-free public transportation, where workers and commuters are in charge. It is a campaign aimed at toppling “the traffic power structure, where cities are built for cars and mobility is forced upon us”.
+
+The main component of the campaign has been the P-kassan (P-fund). It is a fund where members pay a monthly fee and the fund pays back any fines they might incur if they are caught free-riding. The fund has a few hundred members and membership costs 100 SEK per month.
+
+While Planka.nu had initially focused on the ticket prices, the initiative quickly realized that the prices are just a part of the larger politics of transport. This became particularly evident once they understood that the urban free-ways were developed using funds originally destined for public transportation. Roads are financed by tax money and are free to use, whereas public transportation is financed by fares and is not free at the point of use.
+
+In Stockholm, all those who make less than 75,000 kronor per month (about 8,300 euros) would benefit if a small tax was levied to finance public transportation. Free public transportation is a way of taking from the richest and giving to the rest of the society. Furthermore, the present, controlled system of public transport, where tickets can increasingly be bought only by electronic means, is also a way to police the paperless and the poor, extending structural exclusions into the realm of mobility.

+---
+
+In February 2009, after the Spanish government had shown itself incapable of enforcing Article 47 of the Spanish Constitution — declaring that “all Spaniards have the right to enjoy decent and adequate housing” — a citizens’ assembly was held in Barcelona to establish the Platform for People Affected by Mortgages, or the PAH (Spanish: Plataforma de Afectados por la Hipoteca).
+
+This grassroots organization takes direct action to combat the foreclosures which were evicting people from their homes at an alarming rate following the 2008 financial crash that bursted the speculative housing bubble in Spain. The PAH had successfully stopped more than 2,000 evictions by 2016. By 2017 the PAH had 220 local branches across Spain.
+
+The PAH is organised horizontally by assembly. Weekly meetings are offered to newcomers (Welcoming Assembly) and smaller sessions are organized for those in need of emotional support. The weekly Actions and Coordinating Assembly discusses the host of actions the movement has in gestation and decides on the day-to-day responsibilities of the attendees. Everyone present is asked to contribute to one small but essential part of the PAH —to help out with cleaning, to update the calendar, to record minutes, to keep track of time, for instance — and all are rotated every week.
+
+The PAH’s Obra Social (Social Work) is the body which — when the bank is not prepared to find alternative housing for the tenant — will help the evicted family occupy one of the thousands of empty apartments owned by the banks. But to say that the banks actually ‘own’ these empty flats is, as one PAH organizer put it, entirely misleading, for it was the Spanish people who bailed out these banks during the crisis, and it is therefore the Spanish people who own these properties.

+title: "Plumbers for Flint"
+---
+
+In January, 2016, over 300 Union Plumbers travelled to the town of Flint, Michigan, to voluntarily install free water filters for residents following the water crisis that has engulfed the city since 2014. Following 2008 recession that not only resulted in a housing crisis but also in the loss of further jobs at General Motors, main employer of the town, in 2010 Michigan elected governor Rick Snyder, who appointed an Emergency Financial Manager (EFM), an individual who is appointed by the governor to take control of a local government under a financial emergency. In this instance, the usual powers of mayor and the city council no longer apply. EFMs disproportionately affect African American populations in the state, with over half living under EFM, even though African Americans only constitute 14% of Michigan’s population.
+
+As part of fiscal tightening, water infrastructure became a target. A temporary solution identified by the then EFM Darnell Earley was to use the Flint River instead of the Detroit River to supply the city water. It is widely known that the Flint River is heavily polluted from GM activities. To make the water drinkable, an anti-corrosion agent needed to be added, estimated at a cost of $100 a day to prevent lead leaching, which the EFM decided was too expensive.
+
+Since the switch, 12 people to date have died from Legionnaires, and more than 90 others have survived it, living with lasting effects and health problems. The E.Coli bacteria was also discovered in the supply, where authority addressed this by adding bleach to the system. Less than six months after the switch, Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha, made the results of her study of lead poisoning in Flint’s children public.
+
+In the same year, GM complained that the water was corroding and rusting their engine parts. GM paid to be re-connected back to the Detroit River. At the same time the governors’ office, and city council were all using bottled water, but insisted the water supply was safe.

+title: "Protection Marriage - Schutzehe"
+---
+
+“There are many reasons to marry, one being solidarity and support for refugees and immigrants. Marriage is a possibility to protect people from deportation and help provide them with permanent residential rights.” These are the opening words of a multilingual guide (available in Bosnian-Croatian-Serbian-Montenegrin, English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Turkish) to Protection Marriage[^1], written by the artist Silke Wagner as part of the exhibition "Niemand ist eine Insel" at the Gesellschaft für Aktuelle Kunst in Bremen 2003 and drafted initially in 1999 within a kein mensch ist illegal publication.
+
+Marriages and civil partnerships between migrants and citizenship-holders, between foreigners and locals, are subject to scrutiny in a manner that other marriages and civil partnerships are not, no matter if they are out of interest or out of “romantic love”. Ultimately, marriage is a formalisation of a social unit that has undeniable material and ideological underpinnings in modern societies, a privileged way of securing economic stability, child-rearing and social reproduction, with its internal divisions of domestic labor and care. Therefore, interest and entitlements are always present in every marriage, however are expected to remain tacit.
+
+As the German collective against discrimination D.A.S.H points out, the scrutiny and the criminalisation of binational marriages has to stop. After all, the same motive of citizens of other countries that were willing to marry Germans fleeing Nazi prosecution is held in high regard. However, protection marriage is just a patch on a system that produces injustices. Therefore, the right to residence should be universalised, so as to make married foreigners not dependent on their local counterparts for their right to stay in a country.

+title: "Rameshwari Photocopy Services"
+---
+
+On 14 August 2012, the premises of the Rameshwari Photocopy Services were raided by order of the Delhi High Court, following a petition for copyright infringement that Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press and Taylor & Francis had filed against the photocopy shop and Delhi University. Rameshwari had been tasked by Delhi School of Economics to produce course packs consisting of photocopied excerpts from copyright-protected works, sold to students at 0.40 rupee per page, making these teaching materials affordable to Indian students of modest means.
+
+The case concerned the scope of copyright exception for education under Section 52(1)(i)(i) of the Indian Copyright Act allowing ‘reproduction of any work… by a teacher or a pupil in the course of instruction.’ The publishers insisted on a narrow interpretation of this exception, that would have severely limited the capacity to reproduce and access teaching materials. Delhi University - supported by the Society for Promoting Educational Access and Knowledge, and the Association of Students for Equitable Access to Knowledge - argued that such an interpretation risked limiting the constitutional right to education and the attendant right of access to knowledge, thus deepening inequalities in a society riven by divisions of caste and class, and a global system of education characterised by huge economic disparities between academic communities.
+
+In an unprecedented decision four years later, the Delhi high court ruled against the Publishers: against the tendency to interpret copyright as a right of exclusion, benefiting the private interest of entities mostly located in the Global North, and in favour of the public right of equitable access to knowledge. This has global implications.
+
+The legal case sparked massive protests by students and academics who took to the streets across India and engaged in acts of civil disobedience.

+---
+
+Late in August 2015, after the suspension of the Dublin Regulation, thousands of refugees fleeing the war in Syria found themselves at the gates of the Budapest Keleti train station, hoping to continue their journey onwards to Austria, Germany and beyond. As the Hungarian government decided to seal its borders, it also prevented refugees from entering the Keleti station. After two days of intense stand-off, on August 30th the refugees were allowed to board the train heading westwards, but then the train was stopped at Bicske to force the passengers to register in the local camp for asylum seekers, which many resisted and started to walk toward the border.
+
+Just two days earlier, on August 28th, 2015, a parked lorry was discovered on an Austrian highway, holding inside 71 dead migrants. In response to this emergency and with refugees walking toward the border, the collective Erzsebet Szabo opened a Facebook page, calling onto people in Austria to organise on September 6th a convoy of cars to help the refugees walking toward Austria and stuck in Budapest cross safely into Austria, bring them to the train stations in Austria or to the German border, so that they could continue their journey. In spite of the fact that helping refugees across the border was illegal (a misdemeanour in Austria, a felony in Germany), over 170 cars joined the action on that day. In unusual circumstances, where thousands took to the streets to protest the actions of Sebastian Kurz’s government, many did not shy away from taking to collective disobedience. Austrian police initiated investigations against some of the participants, however did not press charges.
+
+In October 2015, at the Open Border Congress, Refugee Convoy was awarded Lisa Fittko Prize (named after a woman who in 1940/1941 helped 2000 people cross the Pyrenees to freedom) and in April 2016, the Ute Bock Prize for Civil Courage awarded by SOS Mitmensch.

+title: "Science Hub"
+---
+
+Science Hub, the "Robin Hood of access to science", provides public access to tens of millions of scientific articles that are protected by intellectual property law and legally available only to academic institutions and individuals that can pay exorbitant subscriptions or per-article prices. Science Hub was created in 2011 by Alexandra Elbakyan, a Kazakhstan computer science student, who a couple of years earlier developed a script to circumvent paywalls to access articles she and her school could not afford. After repeatedly being asked to share articles, she set up a website that functions as a search engine and a repository of all retrieved articles. Ten years later, it provides access to over 60 million, or around 85% of all articles behind paywalls, serving largely requests coming from low- and middle-income countries.
+
+Since 2015 Science Hub has been sued by the likes of Elsevier for damages running into tens of millions of dollars. Sci-hub has had a number of its domains revoked over recent years, and recently Twitter also revoked its account, following an injunction from an Indian court initiated again by Elsevier — the largest among the oligopoly of five commercial publishers, famous for the staggering 37% profits it makes from the articles that scientists write, review and edit for free. Losing domains is a given for "shadow libraries", but Elbakyan managed to keep the servers out of reach of the authorities where it was sued. Regardless of the massive support of the scientists and the public, the website has recently again come under a mounting legal pressure, motivating Redditors on r/DataHoarder to organise a rescue mission and create a distributed backup of Sci-hub.
+
+Elbakyan holds that the Mertonian ideals of science are grounded in the "common ownership of knowledge (i.e. communism)" and that the copyright should be abolished. By choosing not to hide but rather to speak out in the media and in her letters to courts, she has upheld the principle that the public has the right to knowledge and has chosen to act in the tradition of disobedience disrespecting the unjust laws.

+---
+
+Sea-Watch is a civilian search and rescue organisation helping migrants survive arguably the deadliest migration route in the world — the short stretch of the Mediterranean Sea leading from Northern Africa to South Europe. Since 2014 over 600,000 migrants have made the passage, yet over 16,000 have perished in shipwrecks.
+
+The Sea-Watch grew out of an initiative of volunteers who could not stand by idly as people were drowning. In late 2014 they acquired a 20m sea cutter and in May 2015 the Sea-Watch I was in Lampedusa on its first mission — assisting the European-Union-coordinated sea rescue operations by conducting search for boats in distress and navigating larger ships to take people on board and bring them to a safety in European ports.
+
+In 2016 the EU started to roll back its commitment to search and rescue, so in May the new vessel Sea-Watch II was for the first time instructed to take on board rescuees. With the full reversal of the EU border regime to violent pushbacks, only the civilian organisations such as SOS Mediterranée, Doctors without Borders, Jugend Rettet and Sea-Watch were left to actively save people at sea. The about-turn also lead to the denial of entry into Italian and Maltese ports, where civilian sea and rescue ships were bringing refugees to safety, culminating in the seizing of Jugend Rettet's Iuventa under captain Pia Klemp in August 2017 and the arrest of captain Carola Rackete in July 2019.
+
+The civilian sea and rescue organisations are estimated to have saved 100,000 lives since 2014. Currently, Sea-Watch operates the 55m Sea-Watch 3, the 60m Sea-Watch 4 in cooperation with Doctors without Borders and two reconnaissance planes Moonbird and Seabird.
+
+Sea-Watch considers its mission only a patch applied against a symptom, whereas the real solution is political — securing a safe passage for all migrants.

+
+While the migration regimes of the Global North have over the last half a century shifted toward the criminalisation of cross-border migration, their economies have perpetuated the illegal migration flows to continue to exploit cheap labour, particularly in the low-paying sectors such as farming. This border geography of criminalised yet encouraged illegal migration sustains the agricultural sectors in the south of the US and across Europe.
+
+The COVID-19 pandemic has made it evident that the global food production system is fragile — undermined by decades of economic streamlining, worker abuse and extractivism that have crippled social and ecological systems from being able to absorb and deal with major disruptions. Once the lockdowns and border closures were imposed in early 2020, and the migration flows were interrupted, the countries such as Britain, Germany or Austria had to organise special fly-in programmes for workers from Eastern European countries so that they could come pick their asparagus and salad. These workers and their communities were provided with no epidemiologically safe accommodation nor medical care.
+
+To counter such migration regimes, Sezonieri — an activist-led and trade-union supported campaign for the rights of migrant agricultural workers in Austria — has been working with seasonal workers to prevent exploitation, improve working conditions and help enforce their rights to minimum wage, overtime, health coverage, vacation and accommodation. In their outreach activities, Sezonieri's activists go to farms to meet the workers, thus facing the threat of being charged with trespassing on private land.
+
+In the midst of the pandemic, when there were even stricter limits to such canvassing, they have focused on putting a list of demands onto the political agenda - for higher wages, better sanitary conditions, compensation for the increased health risk incurred by migrant agricultural workers, as well as for the abolition of nativist and anti-migrant discourses, the de-criminalisation of migration, and the creation of a more just system of food production.

+---
+
+Soprasotto is a self-managed kindergarden opened in 2013 by a group of parents who wanted to find a solution to the fact that their children were not admitted to public kindergardens. This was due to the fact that the application requirements are still privileging parents with traditional permanent contracts, de facto excluding the many precarious people who are self-employed or freelance. In Milan, the number of places available in public crèches is not sufficient to satisfy the demand: 30% of children are left out every year (around 3.000 children). Those who can pay private nurseries do so, however this is not an option for many. Private kindergartens fees range between 650 to 900 EU per month, while public ones charge between 180 to 480 EU.
+
+The monthly fee charged to parents by Soprasotto is 350 EU. It employs two full-time qualified nursery teachers. Other costs are kept low by a combination of novel approaches. There are no 'service' figures, but interchangeable roles that the parents take on in rotation to ensure that the daily organization, the feeding of children and educators, special activities and the general administration can run smoothly. Rent is kept low via a partnership with another third sector organization that allows children to use their space, which would otherwise be under-utilised during day time. A set of purpose-built furniture that is children-friendly and that can be swifty stacked away after use has been developed with a local makerspace, WeMake. Meals are prepared by the parents on rotation, a solution that generated quite a few problems for the collective, as it formally violates some of the official health & safety laws regulating food preparation in such settings.
+
+SopraSotto is managed by the parents' assembly which meets monthly and is responsible for deciding on organizational issues and, in agreement with the teachers, on special projects and activities. The kindergarten is also conceived as an open social space with strong relations with the neighborhood in which it is located. Travelling in purpose-built trolleys, the children enjoy regular trips to the market, the library, a nearby collectively-run garden and to the shops of local artisans.

+
+The Piracy Project is a collection of publications documenting manifold ways in which books are transformed in their passage across ages, borders and cultures. The project includes over 150 bootleg print publications, photocopies and artistic appropriations in the book form from all over the world. Artists Andrea Francke and Eva Weinmayr have collected these since 2010, from visits to small book markets around the world, and through public calls for contributions.
+
+Items in the collections typically diverge from their originals, for example a novel containing two extra chapters, a newspaper containing only errata and corrections, or contain binding errors such as upside-down pages. As Francke and Weinmayr write, “The Piracy Project is not about stealing or forgery. It is about creating a platform to innovatively explore the spectrum of copying / re-editing / translating / paraphrasing / imitating / re-organising / manipulating of already existing works. Here creativity and originality is not in the borrowed material itself, but in the way it is handled.” There is an online catalogue for the collection with a description and provenance for each item.
+
+Using the collection Francke and Weinmayr have organised exhibitions, reading groups, performative legal debates and published an evolving reader, titled Borrowing, Poaching, Plagiarising, Pirating, Stealing, Gleaning, Referencing, Leaking, Copying, Imitating, Adapting, Faking, Paraphrasing, Quoting, Reproducing, Using, Counterfeiting, Repeating, Translating, Cloning (AND Publishing, 2014).

+title: "Tracktor Hacking"
+---
+
+To avoid the locks that John Deere puts on the tractors they buy, farmers throughout America have started hacking their equipment with firmware that's cracked in Eastern Europe and traded on invite-only, paid online forums. Tractor hacking is growing increasingly popular because John Deere and other manufacturers have made it impossible to perform "unauthorized" repair on farm equipment, which farmers see as an attack on their sovereignty and quite possibly an existential threat to their livelihood if their tractor breaks at an inopportune time.
+
+A license agreement John Deere required farmers to sign in October 2016 forbids nearly all repair and modification to farming equipment, and prevents farmers from suing for "crop loss, lost profits, loss of goodwill, loss of use of equipment … arising from the performance or non-performance of any aspect of the software." The agreement applies to anyone who turns the key or otherwise uses a John Deere tractor with embedded software. It means that only John Deere dealerships and "authorized" repair shops can work on newer tractors.
+
+Farmers have been pushing for right-to-repair legislation that would invalidate John Deere's license agreement. In the meantime, they have started hacking their machines because even simple repairs are made impossible by the embedded software within the tractor.

+---
+
+If a pharmaceutical company makes more money from selling a given medicine in one country rather than another, it is inclined to sell the total amount required by both countries to the more profitable market.
+
+The unavailability of certain medicines is one of the many factors limiting the possibility for transgender people to access safe pathways for hormone intake, as it encourages the production and sale of testosterone of dubious origins. Indeed, in Italy and in most of the other countries, this type of drug is only prescribed as therapy for hypogonadal cisgender people (that is, people who feel that their birth-assigned sex and gender match their gender identity). Therefore, so-called "gender dysphoria" (when people feel their birth-assigned sex and gender do not match their gender identity) is not among the authorised conditions for using hormone-based medicines.
+
+Transgender people are thus trapped in a paradox. On the one hand, the recent depathologisation of gender dysphoria can be seen as a cultural and civil victory. On the other, it has left a definitional void that needs to be filled to guarantee access to medical care to everyone. In fact, this void pushes people who take hormones for gender transition to do so "under the counter", because for official healthcare systems they are non-existent.
+
+Trans communities often advise and support each other via social media and other online channels to reduce the risks associated with purchasing and taking unauthorised hormones.
+
+All the while, estrogens are not as much in the spotlight as testosterone; indeed, since they are not used for sport (and war), there is no such a lucrative black market for them. Open Source Estrogen, a collaborative project led by the artist Mary Maggic, stands between citizen science and speculative design and has the ambition to develop DIY/DIWO (do-it-with-others) protocols for the "domestic" synthesis of estrogen hormones as a response to the strong control by governments and institutions over human bodies.

+---
+
+Wiindo Dwebe Mosewin Patrol is a group of around 40 volunteers who are patrolling the streets of Thunder Bay, Ontario, protecting members of indigenous communities from hate crimes and racist violence perpetrated by gangs and police.
+
+With high endemic substance use, Northwestern Ontario has drawn gangs and guns from Toronto and Ottawa, and Thunder Bay has become the capital of Canada for homicide and hate crimes targeted at the city’s First Nations people who constitute 13 percent of its population.
+
+However, an 2018 inquest into Thunder Bay’s police investigations of 37 murders of indigenous victims since 2009 determined that the police has systematically failed “conduct adequate investigations and the premature conclusions drawn in these cases is, at least in part, attributable to racist attitudes and racial stereotyping …” In fact, the Thunder Bay police is itself suspect of racialised violence, such as driving members of indigenous communities outside of the city and leaving them, at the risk of freezing to death, to try to make it through the cold back to the city, a practice called “starlight tour”.
+
+The conditions of structural racism necessitated that the indigineous communities organise their own safety protocols to protect their members, while avoiding the involvement of police. Wiindo Debwe Mosewin thus organises regular patrols around Thunder Bay in the night to protect people in distress, particularly women, two-spirit people and youth - and collect their stories through the ancestral oral-culture practices, creating a different narrative to that provided by officials.
+
+As Wiindo Debwe Mosewin state: “We believe that safety, equity, peace and abundance are possible for everyone. We believe in a world without prisons or police. We walk the path of decolonization by centering the voices and experience of women, two spirit people and those who resist being excluded, oppressed and bullied. We believe that those in power need us more than we need them. We believe that every one of us is damaged by settler colonialism and deserves to heal and to become a healer.”

+
+Women on Waves is a non-governmental organisation founded in 1999 by the Dutch physician Rebecca Gomperts to prevent unsafe abortions and unwanted pregnancies. The organisation provides sexual health services and education to women in countries with restrictive laws around reproductive rights.
+
+WoW sails a ship registered in the Netherlands to countries where abortion is illegal. By anchoring outside territorial waters, they are able to provide contraceptives, education and legal abortion to women who need them. They are able to do so because in international waters local laws do not apply. It is thus the Dutch law that applies on board a WoW’s ship, which means that all their activities are legal. In 2018, the organisation received a license to perform abortions with pills (misoprostol with or without mifepristone). The crew includes a gynaecologist and a specialised nurse so abortions can be provided safely and to the highest standards.
+
+With their ship missions, WoW want to respond to an urgent medical need but also, crucially, to draw public attention to the consequences of unwanted pregnancy and illegal abortion. WoW has created enormous public interest after successful campaigns in Ireland (2001, 2015), Poland (2003, 2018), Portugal (2004) and Spain (2008). WoW always works in close collaboration with local organisations to change the laws in their countries. For instance, the campaign in Portugal catalysed the abortion legalisation in February 2007.
+
+WoW have recently also used robots for across-the-border abortion counselling and drones for across-the-border abortion pill deliveries. WoW also have a sister organisation called Women on Web, providing reliable information on safe abortion and contraception and safe telemedical abortion service. They have also created a “Safe Abortion with Pills” app, which is available for free from the Google Play store for Android phones.

-Among the many systemic flows that the coronavirus emergency has brought to light there is also the unsustainability of capitalist industrial model of agricultural production. The supplies that sustain the nutritional needs of millions of people are organised across global chains of production that are unequal as they are unsustainable.
-
-One of the issues of the industrial agricultural model is the length of the supply chains, which makes them vulnerable to potential bottlenecks. Yet another problem for many countries is their dependency on far away producers who might decide to reduce or suspend imports during a crisis. Not to mention the overall environmental impact of agro-business (see .
-
-In this session, we consider specifically the pirate care initiatives that are confronting one specific aspect of the food supply chain: the fact that limitations on movement and the closure of borders to face the epidemic are causing a shortage of cheap labor, often of foreign origin, on which industrial agriculture is based. The considitions in which this kind of agricultural labour is undertaken are often brutal, facing extremely low wages and long hours; informal arrengements with the employers that are mediated by organised crime cartels; mixed with the constant fears associated with the status of being an irregular migrant subject to racism and social discrimination. Many seasonal workers are also refusing to migrate for the season as they fear for their health and of not being able to get back to their countries of origin.

You will be at least paid minimum wage and many farms pay National Living Wage or more, depending on how much fruit and/or vegetables you harvest, and the role you do on the farm.

-# Rationale for organising assistance
-
-The most significant thing people can do to reduce the virus spread and the mortality is to practice avoid close contact (2 meters distance in closed spaces, 1 meter in open air), working from home and home isolation. People belonging to at-risk groups (over 60 years of age and/or suffering from chronic conditions such as cardiovascular and heart diseases, high or low blood pressure, diabetes, lung or immune system diseases), should not leave their home. People who have recently travelled, or people who have onset symptoms, and are advised or ordered to go into isolation, have to stay at home and avoid contact with others. In many places, as lock-down measures are introduced, everyone else, who doesn't have a duty to go to work, should remain at home and leave only to do necessary purchases. Thereby we lower the risk of further significant spread.
-
-The home isolation, however, creates significant obstacles to securing the regular provision of food, medicines, toiletries and other consumables, as well as obstacles to attending to routine tasks such as taking out the rubbish or collecting mail. Isolation implies a radical workaround of how those who are in isolation organise their daily lives. And the conditions of isolation might lead to disorientation, lack of social contact, and emotional difficulties.
-
-If you are not in an at-risk group and wish to organise as a group or as an individual to assist your family members, friends, neighbours or strangers, here are the things you can take into consideration to build different scenarios how to assist them in their needs during home isolation:
-
-# Let them know you are ready to assist
-
-You can let them know that you can provide assistance by posting a note in the building entrance, leaving a note under or next to their door, or ringing them up. You can also publicise it on social media or on a webpage, but assume that older people might not be Internet-savvy, so rely on paper and phone. Leave a phone number as a contact and basic information about yourself or your group to establish initial trust. Let them know in your note that if they themselves might not need assistance that they can inform their friends and family who might need assistance that you are offering help.
-
-Your initial note can be very simple, for example:
-
-> Dear neighbours,
-
-> if you need assistance with getting your food and medical provisions, collecting mail or taking out your dog for a walk please give us a call at
-
-> [your phone number here]
-
-> and we'll do those errands for you, taking necessary measures to precaution not to expose you to the contaigon.
-
-> Stay at home and stay healthy, please do not hesitate to contact us, we're here to help,
-
-> [Describe shortly who you are and your name, e.g. "Neighbour from the ground floor", "Neighbourhood mutual aid group"]
-
-# What to consider when arranging assistance
-
-When arranging assistance make sure to:
-- Go with the person in home isolation through guidelines on home isolation, assistance to at risk groups and similar official guidance, [e.g. Irish Health Care guideline](https://www2.hse.ie/conditions/coronavirus/self-isolation-and-limited-social-interaction.html) to establish what they need to do to organise their daily life during a prolonged home isolation and what they need to organise it in that way?
-- What provisions do they need? Can you order that online and have it delivered, or is it better that you deliver the provisions yourself?
-- Do they have the medicines they need? Do they need a prescription? Can you pick up their medication from the pharmacy? Do they have masks, soap and desinfectants? Do they have a thermometer and fever and cough medicine?
-- Can they prepare a meal or do they need help? Can you make them a meal? Or instead arrange to have food delivered to them from a soup or solidarity kitchen?
-- Do they need to have their rubbish put out or mail collected?
-- Do they have a house pet? Does it need to be walked?
-- Do they have money? Do they have cash? Can they pay online? Do they have a trusted person who can withdraw cash for them? Do they need financial assistance?
-- To minimise your movement, try to plan and do errands for several days at once.
-
-# What to consider when delivering items
-
-When delivering things, consider also the following:
-- Avoid close contact (2 meters in closed space and 1 meter in opern air, and keep the interaction short) to prevent the transmission of the virus by air.
-- It is best to drop things in front of their door for them to collect once you have moved away to the advised distance.
-- They can also do the same with rubbish or anything they have to give to you.
-- If you can't avoid direct social contact, the person in isolation should wear a mask. First leave them a mask if they don't have one.
-- Carefully handle the items in order to avoid transmission of the virus via surfaces. Use disposable gloves to handle items you will deliver and things you are taking over.
-
-# What to consider if you live with the person in home isolation
-
-Persons who are in isolation, either because they might be or are infected, or because they belong to one of the at-risk groups, frequently will live in a shared household with other people. For those who are older, seriously ill, infirm or disabled who depend on the assistance of others, yet live in locations and situations where such assistance cannot be provided by qualified institutions and trained carers, the advised social distancing and isolation might not be easily implementable, and direct contact will be necessary. If you have a person in isolation in your home or are a live-in carer, consider the advice for carers for children or someone else in self-isolation in the following [guideline](https://www2.hse.ie/conditions/self-isolation-and-self-quarantine/how-to-self-isolate.html).
-
-In short:
-- If possible, the person in isolation should use a separate room. Regularly ventilate and disinfect the room.
-- If possible, that person should use a separate toilet and bathroom. Otherwise, toilet and bathroom have to be disinfected after use.
-- That person should be isolated from other persons in the household who belong to one of the at-risk groups.
-- If that person needs the care of other persons, reduce the number of carers. If the person is infected, make sure that the carers don't belong to one of the at-risk groups.
-- Carers should maintain the distance (two meters) if you're not providing direct support, use the mask for as long as they are in the same room, and wash their hands before and after contact.
-- Desinfect the surfaces, separate out their rubbish, particularly tissues and other contaminated items. Keep the contaminated rubbish firmly tied up in a plastic bag in the room with the person in isolation and take it to the bin separately just before the regular collection.
-- Use separate cuttlery and dishes, wash and disinfect after use.
-- Wash separately, regularly and at high temperature bedding, towls and clothes.
-
-
-# Maintain regular contact and provide emotional support
-
-Check-in with them on a regular basis. Listen. Engage. Consider the following:
-- Do they have everything they need? Are they feeling well? Do they need medical assistance?
-- As people stay in social isolation, they might be missing contact and emotional support, be ready to spend time talking with them and understanding how they are feeling and coping.
-- If you think they are not emotionally well, have a psychological help hotline at hand and advise them to seek consultation.
-- If you desire to get informed on how to provide autonomous psychological support, consider looking at the topic  in our Pirate Care Syllabus.

-[^2]: Translation by Bue Rübner Hansen: ORGANIZE SOLIDARITY IN YOUR BUILDINGS AND STREETS - What can you do?: 1⃣ Organize yourselves in groups in your building or along your section of the street to identify the people who need support and help with things such: grocery shopping, childcare, etc.; 2⃣ In order to organize yourself, you can: convene meetings of stairscases or street sections, visit all floors in your building to know the situation in each flat, install an information board at your entrance.; 3⃣ It is important to let everyone know that they are not alone, that they can count on the help of the neighborhood.; 4⃣ Generate communication channels between everyone in the building or street section. Both digital (via mobile phone) and physical (a sign at the entrance can be enabled to keep everyone informed and share needs); 5⃣ All of this should be done following the health care tips to avoid spreading the infection.

-title: "Bad Care"
----
-
-The purpose of this session is to examine the relationships between power and care. A first and obvious dynamic in this relationship is negligence. The study quoted in the readings, on oppression, environmental stress and the long term effects of these on the brain and body shows how western science and research into 'global health' has negelected to look at the interelations between social, physical and mental health. As pirates, we can take this critique much further by insisting that industrial society is profoundly sick and proceed from that premise.
-
-The essay 'Unraveling the Biopsychiatric Knot' focusses specifically on the relationship between neoliberalism and the biomedical/psychiatric approach to 'mental disorders' as codified in diagnostic manuals like the DSM. Again, we might want to go further than this acount and question the social 'safety nets' that neoliberalism has supposedly taken away. What were these 'safety nets', who were they for and who did they exclude? Who benefited and who paid for them? Who administrated them and to what end?
-
-An interesting text that departs from these positions is the 'Reclaim Your Mind' manifesto. Insurrectionary anarchist theory and practice is a useful addition, not because it supplies all of the answers to the questions we have been posing, but it opens up some new directions to take.

-title: "Bad Housing Makes Us Sick"
----
-
-# Is there good mental health without a secure home?
-
-Relationship between housing and mental health has been a focus of many debates after 2008. Serious physical and mental health issues have been arising as a result of insecure housing, and a systematic attempt to remove vulnerable people from their homes. Most of those who get evicted or whose houses get demolished end up leaving with mental traumas. The toxic link between bad housing and bad mental health damages our lives and our relationships. Most of the people in toxic housing situations don't get any mental health support.
-
-Instead of confronting the violent nature of contemporary housing, authorities in the European core countries have been trying to deal with mental health issues by imposing approaches that individualize the responsibility and focus on the consequences. The industry has been forming around the stressed subjects in order to reduce the consequences of suffering, acting as if bad housing is just a mental condition. In parallel, new groups and initiatives have been emerging in order to provide support based on mutual aid, do research, undertaking advocacy work, and raise awareness through events, artistic productions, and informational material.
-
-## Proposed resources
-
-- **Read about the attempts in the UK to instrumentalise mindfulness for responsibilisation:** 
-- **Read about how bad housing and homelessness affects mental health in the UK:** 
-- **Read the activist statement on how the ‘root shock’ affects mental health in London housing crisis:** 
-- **Read the Strategy for autonomous emotional support by Power Makes Us Sick in this syllabus:**

-# Blackboxing/proxying/obfuscation
-
-Unlike massively participatory practices of cultural and knowledge sharing that were analysed in the session: , this session focuses on practices of creating pirate infrastructures that crucially depend on the work of savvy technologists who create forms of access that need to remain obfuscated and black-boxed in order to secure that such access remains functional. The example session focuses on is Science Hub, a search engine and repository that provides access to 85% of paywalled academic articles (Himmelstein et al. 2019), that was single-handedly created by Alexandra Elbakyan. In 2015 Science Hub was sued by the largest academic publisher in the world Reed Elsevier and in 2017 by the American Chemical Society. The US courts ruled against Science Hub, awarding plaintiffs $US15 million and $US5 million respectively in damages. Elbakyan has been outspoken in defending the unconditional universal access against the economic interests of publishers. In response to Elsevier's suit, Elbakyan famously responded: "If Elsevier manages to shut down our projects or force them into the darknet, that will demonstrate an important idea: that the public does not have the right to knowledge. We have to win over Elsevier and other publishers and show that what these commercial companies are doing is fundamentally wrong."
-
-## Session
-
-**Duration:** 90 minutes
-
-**Methods:** learning by doing, learners have to use their own computers to complete the tasks.
-
-**Goal:** In this session, the learners will learn how to use Science Hub and how to set up a proxy tunnel similar to what Science Hub might be using. Furthermore, they will get acquainted with the history of Science Hub and with Alexandra Elbakyan's public interventions that have sought to articulate the principle of her action as rooted in communism that is congenial to science. Learners will also discuss the legal prosecution of Science Hub.
-
-**Task 1:**
-
-Discover how to find the current address of Science Hub and acquaint yourselves with the methods of searching:
-- via the title of the article
-- via DOI number, i.e. a unique identifier number allocated to academic journal article
-- via pasting the URL of the paywalled article after the URL of Science Hub
-
-**Task 2:**
-
-Here goes the task of opening an ssh tunnel.
-
-**Task 3:**
-
-Learners should in advance view the following talk:

-title: "Call out cops! Call out the system!"
----
-
-# Purpose
-
-- Providing critique to policing migrants and refugees and those who solidarize with them
-- Deconstruct the systemic justification of the punitive and repressive actions against the illegals who are construed as a threat and an enemy
-
-# Method: Direct action
-
-Organizing direct action is both a common and uncommon way of addressing police violence and coercion many citizens/volunteers are subjected to. There are various examples when people/activists went out in the streets and protested against police and state violence. Lately, many [activists, priests, firefighters, doctors and others](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/migrants-refugees-solidarity-europeans-arrested-europe-opendemocracy-a8919686.html) were criminalized because they helped undocumented migrants or refugees in different ways. Those coercive and often violent actions provoke counter-responses by local or translocal/national groups.
-
-## Possible ideas
-
-- Creating and handing out a booklet intended for citizens, teachers, medical workers focusing on migrant and refugee rights and local systems of solidarity that act in opposition of police and state violence
-- Creating and publicly displaying (i.e. on buildings, on the street, on billboards) a local map and timeline of police activity against solidarity actions
-- Making stickers and placing them in public places such as public transport, hospitals, schools, parks etc.
-- Walking through the town with banners and leaflets
-- Protesting on a larger scale (there are a number of online resources on how to organize a protest)
-
-Time: 2 days and more…
-
-## Guiding questions
-
-- What/Whom do we need to address?
-- How will we address it? What is the way we want to deliver our message?
-- Whom do we collaborate with?
-- How will we prepare the scenario/choreography?
-- What do we need?
-- What are the repercussions for those who we solidarize with? What are the repercussions for us and myself?
-- How will we cope with repercussions and provide an on-going critique?

-title: "Collective memory writing by criminalized activists"
----
-
-# Purpose
-
-- Documenting and reflecting on the experiences of criminalization
-- Building a community of trust and healing
-
-# Method: Collective memory writing
-
-Collective memory writing is a method developed by Frigga Haug, a German philospher and feminist. Haug gathered women facing political violence after the fall of the Berlin wall and facilitated the process of reminiscing and writing memories. The method has been widely used in activist and academic spaces ever since and has been modified to fit the needs of various groups.
-
-Haug's method is structured around a few parameters (see below). However, the method can and should be adjusted to different contexts and situations. The method is a process of writing down personal stories and experiences that are later on shared with the whole group that takes on the process of analysis. Sharing and collaborative analysis is a space of healing as well as of critique of the structures and systemic oppression.
-
-Groups can decide whether they want to publish the work, present it through academic or artistic forms or keep it as an internal tool that will define further political actions.
-
-Time: 2 - 4 hours a week individually & 2 - 4 hours a week in a group for a month or more (groups can define the length of the process)

-As people stay in extended isolation, they are resorting to imaginative ways to organise collective, convivial and political moments. These are just some examples of the ways people are organising sociality and conviviality:

-# Web radios
-
-
-
-The outbreak of COVID-19 in northern Italy coincided with March 8th - International Women's Day. The transfeminist social justice movement Non Una Di Meno had to cancel most of the mobilizations and collective actions it had planned for the occasion, including the Women's Strike due to take place on the following day, March 9th. So, instead, they organised a number of alternative dislocated initiatives - some of them offline, like hanging banners from buildings, but most of them online. One of the most impactful was the Non Una Di Meno Radio, broadcasted both through [stream](https://archive.org/details/@non_una_di_meno_-_milano) and through FM by way of collaboration with [local radios](https://www.radiocittafujiko.it/la-marea-in-onda-lo-sciopero-transfemminista-alla-radio/).
-
-Web radio can be a powerful tool to organize and socialize in times of home isolation. Here are some resources on how to get started:

-# Conference Calls
-
-# Connectivity
-During this crisis, online video conferencing has come to the fore.
-
-## Problems with corporate tools
-
-Many of the main conference call tools people are using during the lock-downs have come under public scrutiny for having policies that might damage their users.
-
-ZOOM: According to Jamie Zawinski, one of the founders of Netscape and Mozilla.org, Zoom is particularly 'terrible':
-
-> Zoom's privacy page states: "Whether you have Zoom account or not, we may collect Personal Data from or about you when you use or otherwise interact with our Products." This includes, but is not limited to, your physical address, phone number, your job title, credit and debit card information, your Facebook account, your IP address, your OS and device details, and more." Further, the app allows your boss to spy on you far beyond what's okay in an office setting (Zoom has an attention-tracking feature that can alert hosts if you look away (update: as of April 2, 2020, Zoom have removed the attendee attention tracker feature due to widespread protests).. From EFF: [...] "Admins have the ability to join any call at any time on their organization's instance of Zoom, without in-the-moment consent or warning for the attendees of the call."
-
-> Zoom Meetings Aren't End-To-End Encrypted, Despite Misleading Marketing:
-> The meeting is secured with end-to-end encryption, at least according to Zoom's website, its security white paper, and the user interface within the app. But despite this misleading marketing, the service actually does not support end-to-end encryption for video and audio content, at least as the term is commonly understood. Instead it offers what is usually called transport encryption. [...]
-
-> Without end-to-end encryption, Zoom has the technical ability to spy on private video meetings and could be compelled to hand over recordings of meetings to governments or law enforcement in response to legal requests. While other companies like Google, Facebook, and Microsoft publish transparency reports that describe exactly how many government requests for user data they receive from which countries and how many of those they comply with, Zoom does not publish a transparency report.

-
-We are very aware that engaging, experimenting with and learning about different tools and alternative technologies is something that not everyone is able to do, as conditions of work and life vary and often are not supportive of such extra efforts. However, the technopolitical aspect of the pandemic is calling for a very serious collective reflection around our technological futures. Could mainstream technological infrastructures be created beyond corporate solutions that extract data and provide employers and governments with biased surveillance tools? There are many initiatives out there that have been producing some amazing alternatives which go in the direction of empowering users and communities in their relationship with tech. While we are not purist in our approach, as our online presence is part of broad ecosystems and connectivity is in this time more important than ever, we hope some of the resources linked here will inspire and sustain others in become less entangled with set ups we don't want nor consent to.

-
-On 14th March, at midday, a long applause erupted from the windows and balconies in many cities in Italy. The initiative, circulated on social networks and neighborhood chats, was an opportunity to thank - at a safe distance - all those who are in the front line during these difficult days for the country: doctors, nurses, specialists, but also all those workers who would like to stay at home but cannot because of their employers refusing to shut down production.
-
-On the same day, also in Spain, millions of people have decided to thank health personnel for the enormous effort they are making these days to stop the expansion of the Coronavirus. At 22:00, shortly after the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, finished his public appearance, the residents of many Spanish cities, such as Barcelona, Madrid, Oviedo and Benidorm, opened the windows of their houses and started applauding with strength and joy to thank all the cleaners who are working like crazy to face the COVID-19. In some residential neighborhoods of Madrid, such as Montecarmelo, where many families with children live, the round of applaus was anticipated to 9:00 pm, so that the little ones could also participate.
-
-All across Italy, similar flash-mobs at a distance, as they have been called, are being organised at different times of the day with live music concerts, DJ sets, and improvised performances to ease the isolation.

-Tehran has been under a state of semi-quarantine for weeks. Millions have avoided leaving the house for fear of spreading coronavirus. Schools, universities, theaters, and gyms have been closed. A growing silence has fallen on public spaces. Fear is worsened by US sanctions on Iran, which have led to shortages of basic medicines and sanitary supplies needed to combat the virus’ spread. Under quarantine, Iranians cook, they share recipes, they experiment with new and old spices and ideas, they find joy in flavors and mixing and discovering. These stories have become the inspiration for Golrokh Nafisi, a Tehran-based artist whose latest series is called “Quarantine Kitchen.” Nafisi drew portraits of her friends preparing new recipes, based on the stories they told her of their experiments under quarantine. She is developing the series and has asked that anyone with a similar story please contact her and share their story, so she can draw them as well.

-[Stuck at Home Due to Coronavirus, Millions of Chinese Are Partying Online](https://www.vice.com/en_in/article/epgapp/online-parties-china-coronavirus-lockdown)
-
-"As millions of Chinese people are stuck at home during the Coronavirus outbreak, nightclubs across the country are keeping them entertained by holding "cloud raves" online. Clubbers have been tuning into video platforms like Douyin, China's version of TikTok, and participating in them virtually. Some DJs and clubs have been livestreaming on Kuaishou, another popular Chinese video platform. Here's how it works: DJs video their performance either from a music venue, or their studios and homes, then livestream it on Douyin. While some DJs have been performing live, others are prerecording their gigs and broadcasting them on Douyin's livestream later on. During the cloud concerts, edited versions of the bands’ past performances were screened for viewers. While it wasn’t actually live, the appeal comes from the knowledge that people were watching the concerts together, sharing their thoughts through comments in real time. No playbacks were available so that means if you missed it, you missed it. People who are quarantined or staying indoors can tune into any music event they want. Some ravers have even posted videos of themselves dancing at home to the music. These cloud raves have been extremely successful, with millions of viewers tuning into some of these livestreams. According to Vice, almost 2.3 million people tuned into Beijing club Sir Teen's cloud rave on February 10, with more than 100,000 viewers joining within the first 30 minutes.
-
-Cloud clubbing is also lucrative as hell. On February 9, a live streaming of the nightclub OneThird receive almost 20 million TikTok Coins from viewers, which equates to over 1 million RMB ($143,000). Another event held on Valentine’s Day attracted 4 million online viewers and raised 570,000 RMB ($81,500) for medical personnel battling the coronavirus at the frontline.""

-Amidst cloud raves that have mushroomed all over the Chinese internet emerges the bewildering phenomenon of “cloud sleeping.”
-
-"One live streamer who goes by the moniker SheiJiaDeYuanSan had over 18 million people watching him in a 12-hour-long slumber. Why the viral demand for a regular guy taking a ridiculously long nap? There are no answers, at least not yet.
-
-He too is confounded by his overnight fame. The viral sensation told ChinaZ.com that, despite attracting sudden popularity and revenue from cloud sleeping, he’s had enough of it. People were threatening to unfollow him if he did not go to sleep, despite it being only 5 p.m. in the afternoon."

-
-In Italy, where the aperitif is a well-established social ritual, circles of friends, but also bars and pubs, are also testing remote modes of conviviality by organising virtual get-togethers via video conferencing apps such as HouseParty or Meeting Zoom. In Varese, one cafè organized an I-peritivo live on Instagram, asking participants to make a donation (instead of paying the bill) to the local hospital to help face the Coronavirus emergency.
-
-Given that many commercial video conferencing platforms charge after a set amount of users is reached, people are reportedly also discovering ways to go around such limitations. For example, by connecting with the first 4 friends on WhatsApp (which does not allow more than that) and simultaneously with 2 more via Skype.

-# Environmental roots of the pandemic
-
-According to epidemiologist Dennis Carroll, the ongoing research from EcoHealth Alliance, an organisation protecting wildlife and public health from the emergence of diseases in an integrated way,[^1] shows that the last four decades have seen a two- to three-fold increase in zoonosis -- leaps of pathogens from animals to humans.[^2] The increased incidence of epidemics such as Coronavirus is a consequence of, on the one hand, the rapid incursion of industrial agriculture into wildlife habitats and, on the other, the growing inclusion of wild species into capitalist commodity chains.[^3] The interface zones between the receding wildlife habitats and encroaching farms and plantations facilitate zoonotic leaps (with a particular contribution of the fruit bats, the only flying mammal species and susceptible to many pathogens that attack other mammal species).[^4] Once pathogens leap from wildlife species to industrially farmed animals, intensive farming provides them with perfect conditions for quick spread and mutation. From there pathogens can then easily jump to human populations. The leaps from industrially farmed animals such as pigs, fowl and dromedary camels to humans have been at the root of avian flu, swine flu, SARS, MERS, H5N2 and H5Nx flue epidemics. At the same time, the clearing of rainforests for purposes of industrial farming, imposed on many territories by neoliberal adjustment programs [^5], is pushing indigenous populations deeper into natural habitats and closer contact with wildlife species. This process has been at the root of HIV and Ebola epidemics.
-
-Degraded ecosystems, with their complexity reduced to benefit the industrial farming, have a lowered inherent capacity to halt the spread of epidemics among the wild species. Therefore planetary ecological destabilisation - a combination of climate change, land-use change and biochemical rifts - is expected to spawn new pathogens at an increasing rate. In fact, one of the indicators of destabilisation of planetary boundaries proposed by the Stockholm Resilience Institute are novel entities, which include human-made non-living materials and living beings such as synthetic pollutants, radioactive materials, nanomaterials, micro-plastics or genetically modified organisms, and can also be understood to include the mutagenic viruses that emerge from conditions created by the actions of industrial agriculture.
-
-# Environmental consequences of the pandemic
-
-In the early days of lockdown in Hubei satellite images of particulate pollution released by NASA were making rounds. Images were suggesting that the cessation of industrial production and the reduction of traffic have radically reduced the air pollution and that might save as many 77.000 lives.[^6] Large North Italian cities such as Milan, notorious for their air pollution levels, have experienced a radical reduction in pollution as well.[^7] As travellers started to abort their travel plans, in a seeming display of entirely irrational behaviour, the air carriers were let to resume their flights with almost no passengers on board. The pollution from the now grounded fleet of commercial aeroplanes is the cause of 16.000 preventable deaths every year.[^8] And the irony of the matter is that lowered air pollution is beneficial to recovery from Coronavirus. More significantly, the slowdown in economic activity during the outbreak and lockdowns is bound to have a significant impact on lowering global greenhouse gasses emissions.
-
-However, the reduction in pollution and emissions coming from the breakdown rather than from a politically-driven and participatory transition is not something we should cheer for. Weighing relative numbers of dead bodies is a dismal Malthusianism in disguise.[^9] As the world leaps back from the crisis, the vulnerable communities will be left to suffer, while the environmentally impactful patterns of the capitalist system of production will come back with full force. In fact, Saudis and Russians are waging a price-war by pushing more cheap oil onto the world market far above what is currently needed in conditions of reduced demand. Once the outbreak slows down, the world might be awash with cheap oil, which might open an avenue to quickly undo the emissions reduction that we saw during the outbreak. To cut a long story short, creating a sustainable and just life for all calls for politics and not breakdown. It's politics that is a terrain on which to build a collective determination to seize the control and then transform or wind-down polluting industries, build-out sustainable systems of food, housing and transport provision, and cast a wide net of social support such as universal healthcare.
-
-# Environmental lessons from the pandemic
-
-Still, while we are in the midst of the crisis, there is an opening to reconsider how our systems of production and consumption are organised and what are their purposes. Radical demands for coordinated management of social adaptation, massive effort to save human lives, collective willingness to change the organisation of our daily life, radical redistribution and willingness to accept the uncertainty in the face of tragedy surprisingly seem possible. TINA-doctrine seems suddenly, if for a moment, reduced to a ridiculous historic fetish of a group of sociopaths who have benefited from the complacency of an extended peace-time period and growing affluence to willfully indulge with their class into a social experiment of throwing people's lives under the wheels of profit-making.
-
-From the current pandemic we have learned many valuable lessons for the ecological transition:
-- lives can take precedence over the economy
-- responses to massive threats to human lives can only be socially planned and managed
-- a lack of global cooperation can exacerbate the threat (but will boomerang, as Trump's administration or the EU are now finding out)
-- an important pillar of managing threat is taking back control over privatised social services and infrastructure
-- companies can be pushed to submit to government-imposed management if their business model is made no longer viable and be commandeered to produce for social needs
-- fiscal policies are an essential instrument of directing social adaptation
-- commodified provision of housing, food and health can be socialised
-- in critical moments the work of social reproduction, otherwise backgrounded, made invisible and considered economically secondary to production replaceable things, emerges as essential and most valuable to societies
-- people are contributing en masse to that work of social reproduction
-- patterns of daily life can radically change overnight facing a massive threat and be embraced by the people
-- what becomes critical for a radical change is how to organise the freed human capacity for socially sustaining work and convivial free time
-
-There are evident parallels between the global ecological destabilisation and the Coronavirus pandemic. Both are seemingly invisible processes, for most existent more as claims made by scientists than their own lived reality -- until they become painfully felt in the loss of human lives and the collapse of ways of life that seemed unchangeable hitherto. Yet global environmental destabilisation is distributed highly unevenly in terms of geography and temporal scales. The affluent will be able, at first, to limit their exposure, whilst the poor in the sacrificed zones of the southern hemisphere are already left to suffer. But in due time, no one will escape the runaway destabilisation of the planetary ecosystems. To our benefit, timescales of urgent action are not measured in weeks but in years and decades, and we are likely not to be in lockdown for most of that time.
-
-With the about-turn in the socio-economic doctrine and the sense of what is possible, we can see this as a historic opening to re-set the terms of the political debate over a long-term threat and to organise collective action to push for a just and sustainable future that will save lives and ecosystems. What is happening now is a drastic departure from the political status quo, showing that human lives come before capitalist accumulation. If people can understand the crisis precipitated in a sudden spike of viral spread, now more than ever we should be able to visualise the crisis precipitated by the slow and even more deadly ecological destabilisation. A radical, socially managed transformation has been shown to be possible. It has to be, however, made urgent.

-# How practicing the right to home becomes a crime?
-
-Challenging private property with housing practices and solidarity actions to ensure that people have access to housing has been systematically discouraged by means of creating obstacles, vilification, stigmatization and juridical action. These practices have been referred to as criminalization of solidarity. Criminalization of solidarity in Europe has been soaring after the crisis in 2008. Individuals involved in the anti-eviction actions have been penalized and arrested, squatting has been illegalized in most European countries and replaced with profitable practices as property guardianship. The most severe attacks have been directed towards solidarity with migrants, including self-organized housing usually run by migrants and solidarity groups.
-
-## Proposed resources
-
-- **Read about the criminalisation of solidarity against the anti-eviction movement in Serbia:** 
-- **Read about the criminalization of the squatting movement in the Netherlands:** 
-- **Read about criminalization of squatting in Barcelona:** [Some recent mainstream media representations of squatting in Barcelona (Group Against Criminalization)](bib:2af93d30-7d8a-4535-a26d-6434204ef6c8)
-- **Read about the murder of Jolanta Brezenska in Warsaw and the collusion of the police and the ruling elite in stopping housing activism:** 
-
-## How to learn together
-
-Read the proposed articles before you come to the session. Collectively build the arguments pro and contra the solidarity housing movement. Split into two groups. Each group represents a group of lawyers. The first group is in favor of the solidarity housing movement. The second is against it. Each group articulates its own argument. Use what you have read. Come back together. Organize a discussion in the form of a court debate. Share your notes with other Pirate Care Syllabus users.

-## Exercise: Spending Time with the Data
-
-Here are some data on the global crisis of care:
-
-> The monetary value of women’s unpaid care work globally for women aged 15 and over is at least $10.8 trillion annually –three times the size of the world’s tech industry.
-
-> Taxing an additional 0.5% of the wealth of the richest 1% over the next 10 years is equal to investments needed to create 117 million jobs in education, health and elderly careand other sectors,and to close care deficits.
-
-> In 2015, there were 2.1 billion people in need of care (1.9 billion children under the age of 15, of whom 0.8 billion were under six years of age, and 0.2 billion older persons aged at or above their healthy life expectancy).
-
-> By 2030, the number of care recipients is predicted to reach 2.3 billion severe disabilities means that an estimated 110–190 million people with disabilities could require care or assistance throughout their entire lives.
-
-> Globally, 78.4 per cent of these households are headed by women, who are increasingly shouldering the financial and childcare responsibilities of a household without support from fathers.
-
-> Women perform 76.2 per cent of the total amount of unpaid care work, 3.2 times more time than men.
-
-> The global care workforce comprises 249 million women and 132 million men.
-
-> A high road scenario requires doubling current levels of investment in education, health and social work by 2030
-
-> Estimates based on time-use survey data in 64 countries (representing 66.9 per cent of the world’s working-age population) show that 16.4 billion hours are spent in unpaid care work every day. This is equivalent to 2.0 billion people working 8 hours per day with no remuneration. Were such services to be valued on the basis of an hourly minimum wage, they would amount to 9 per cent of global GDP, which corresponds to US$11 trillion (purchasing power parity 2011). The great majority of unpaid care work consists of household work (81.8 per cent), followed by direct personal care (13.0 per cent) and volunteer work (5.2 per cent).
-
-> In no country in the world do men and women provide an equal share of unpaid care work. Women dedicate on average 3.2 times more time than men to unpaid care work: 4 hours and 25 minutes per day, against 1 hour and 23 minutes for men. Over the course of a year, this represents a total of 201 working days (on an eight-hour basis) for women compared with 63 working for men.
-
-> Men’s contribution to unpaid care work has increased in some countries over the past 20 years. Yet, between 1997 and 2012, the gender gap in time spent in unpaid care declined by only 7 minutes (from 1 hour and 49 minutes to 1 hour and 42 minutes) in the 23 countries with available time series data. At this pace, it will take 210 years (i.e. until 2228) to close the gender gap in unpaid care work in these countries.
-
-
-(These statistics are lifted from the ILO and the Oxfam reports cited above).
-
-
-**Questions to move from reflection to action**
-
-- How are those global data reflected in your institution, city, neighbourhood, region, state, etc.?
-- If you don’t have access to this information, how would it be possible for you to find the relevant data around the crisis of care in your own context?
-- To whom should you talk to? Institutions, activist groups, other agencies?
-- Could you produce your own data, if they are not available? If so, what methods could you use? What skills and tools would you need? How much time?

-# Grundsätze für die Organisation von Hilfe
-
-Das Bedeutendste, was die Bevölkerung tun kann, um eine rasante Verbreitung des Virus und die damit einhergehende Sterblichkeitsrate zu reduzieren, ist, engen Kontakt zu vermeiden (2 Meter Abstand in geschlossenen Räumen, 1 Meter im Freien), von zu Hause aus zu arbeiten und die Isolation zu Hause zu praktizieren. Personen, die zu Risikogruppen gehören (älter als 60 Jahre und/oder an chronischen Krankheiten wie Herz-Kreislauf- und Herzerkrankungen, hohem oder niedrigem Blutdruck, Diabetes, Lungen- oder Immunsystemkrankheiten leidend), sollten ihre Wohnung nicht verlassen. Personen, die erst kürzlich gereist sind und/oder bei denen Symptome auftreten, und denen geraten oder angeordnet wird, sich in Isolation zu begeben, müssen unbedingt zu Hause bleiben und Kontakt mit anderen vermeiden. An vielen Orten sollten alle diejenigen, die nicht wirklich dringend zur Arbeit gehen müssen, zu Hause bleiben und nur die notwendigsten Einkäufe erledigen, wenn Ausgangsbeschränkungen und/oder -sperrmaßnahmen durch die Behörden eingeführt werden. Dadurch verringern wir das Risiko einer weiteren erheblichen Ausbreitung.
-
-Häusliche Isolation schafft jedoch erhebliche Hindernisse für die Sicherstellung der regelmäßigen Versorgung mit Lebensmitteln, Medikamenten, Sanitär- und Pflegeartikeln und anderen Verbrauchsgütern sowie für die Erledigung von Routineaufgaben wie Müllabfuhr oder der Gang zum Briefkasten. Isolation bedeutet eine radikale Umgehung der Art und Weise, wie diejenigen, die in Isolation leben, ihr tägliches Leben organisieren. Und die Bedingungen der Isolation können zu Orientierungslosigkeit, mangelnden sozialen Kontakten und emotionalen Schwierigkeiten führen.
-
-Wenn Du nicht Teil der Risikogruppe bist und in einer Gruppe oder als Einzelperson in der Unterstützung von Familienmitgliedern, Freunden, Nachbarn, oder Fremden aktiv werden werden möchtest, dann sind hier ein paar Szenarien, die Du in Betracht ziehen kannst, um die Art deiner Unterstützung zu planen.
-
-
-## Teile mit, dass Du Hilfe anbietest
-
-Du kannst sie über Dein Unterstützungsangebot informieren, indem du einen Zettel am Eingang des Gebäudes aushängst, in dem sie wohnen - oder Du hinterlässt einen Zettel unter oder neben ihrer Tür, oder rufst sie an. Du kannst es natürlich auch über soziale Medien oder auf einer Webseite bekannt machen - gehe aber eher davon aus, dass ältere Menschen vielleicht nicht unbedingt mit dem Internet vertraut sind... Papier und Telefon sind hier sicher die zuverlässigeren Kommunikationsmittel. Hinterlasse eine Telefonnummer als Kontakt und grundlegende Informationen über Dich oder Deine Gruppe von Freiwilligen, um erstes Vertrauen aufzubauen. Lass sie in Deiner Notiz wissen, dass Du ihnen auch Hilfe anbietest, falls sie möglicherweise selbst keine Hilfe benötigen, damit sie dies auch an ihre möglicherweise hilfebedürftigen Freunde und Familienmitglieder weiter geben können.
-
-Deine erste Notiz kann zum Beispiel sehr einfach sein:
-
-> Liebe Nachbarn,
-
-> Wenn Sie Hilfe bei der Beschaffung von Lebensmitteln und medizinischer Versorgung, beim Abholen der Post oder beim Gassigehen mit Ihrem Hund benötigen, rufen Sie uns bitte an unter
-
-> [Deine Telefonnummer hier]
-
-> und wir erledigen diese Besorgungen für Sie, wobei wir alle notwendigen Vorsichtsmaßnahmen treffen, um Sie nicht einem erhöhten Ansteckungsrisiko auszusetzen.
-
-> Bleiben Sie zu Hause und bleiben Sie gesund, und zögern Sie bitte nicht, uns zu kontaktieren - wir sind hier, um Ihnen zu helfen,
-
-> [Beschreibe kurz, wer Du bist und wie Du heißt, z.B. "Nachbar aus dem Erdgeschoss", "Nachbarschaftsgruppe für gegenseitige Hilfe"]
-
-## Was man bei der Vermittlung von Hilfeleistungen beachten sollte
-
-Achte bei der Vermittlung von Hilfe insbesondere auf folgende Punkte:
-
-* Bespreche mit der in häuslicher Isolation befindlichen Person die Richtlinien zur häuslichen Isolation, Unterstützung für Risikogruppen und ähnliche offizielle Anleitungen, um festzustellen, was die Person tun muss, um ihr tägliches Leben während einer längeren häuslichen Isolation zu organisieren, und was sie benötigt, um es auf diese Weise zu organisieren. Folgende beispielhafte Richtlinien und Anleitungen können hierzu hilfreich sein.
- * z.B. die [irische Gesundheitsrichtlinie](https://www2.hse.ie/conditions/coronavirus/self-isolation-and-limited-social-interaction.html),
- * [Informationsseite der Bundesregierung](https://www.bundesregierung.de/breg-de/themen/coronavirus/ausbreitung-coronavirus-1716188),
- * [Maßnahmen zur Beschränkung sozialer Kontakte](https://www.bundesregierung.de/breg-de/themen/coronavirus/besprechung-der-bundeskanzlerin-mit-den-regierungschefinnen-und-regierungschefs-der-laender-1733248),
- * [Themen-Übersicht der Stadt Hamburg, inkl. Links zu Regeln, Erlässen, etc.](https://www.hamburg.de/coronavirus/)
-* Welche Vorkehrungen sind dringend nötig? Kann man die nötigen Dinge online bestellen und sich liefern lassen, oder ist es besser, die Vorräte selbst oder durch Nachbarschaftshilfe zu besorgen?
-* Hat die Person alle Medikamente, die sie benötigt? Benötigt sie ein Rezept? Kann die Person ihre Medikamente selbst in der Apotheke abholen, oder benötigt sie Unterstützung? Hat die Person Seife und Desinfektionsmittel vorrätig und evtl. Zugang zu Atemschutzmasken, sofern medizinisch notwendig? Ist ein Fieber-Thermometer sowie Fieber- und Hustenmittel vorrätig?
-* Ist die Person in der Lage, selbst eine Mahlzeit zuzubereiten oder braucht sie Hilfe? Kannst Du ihr eine Mahlzeit zubereiten? Oder kannst Du alternativ dabei helfen, stattdessen Lebensmittel aus einer Suppen- oder Solidaritätsküche liefern zu lassen?
-* Kannst Du ihren Müll für sie 'rausbringen und/oder die Post abholen?
-* Hat die Person ein Haustier? Sollte mit dem Haustier spazieren gegangen werden?
-* Hat die Person finanzielle Möglichkeiten, sich zu versorgen? Hat sie Bargeld zuhause? Kann sie online bezahlen? Hat sie eine Vertrauensperson, die für sie Bargeld abheben kann? Benötigt die Person finanzielle Unterstützung?
-* Um die Bewegung außerhalb der eigenen vier Wände zu minimieren, kann es ratsam sein, gleich für mehrere Tage zu planen und entsprechende Besorgungen zu machen.
-
-## Was bei der Lieferung von Lebensmitteln und anderen Gütern zu beachten ist
-
-Beachte bei der Lieferung auch Folgendes:
-
-* Vermeide engen Kontakt (2 Meter im geschlossenen Raum und 1 Meter in der Umgebungsluft, und halte die Wechselwirkung kurz), um die Übertragung des Virus über die Luft zu verhindern.
-* Es ist am besten, zu überbringende Dinge an der Haustür abzulegen, damit die in Isolation befindliche Person diese von dort aufnehmen und in die Wohnung transportieren kann, sobald sich die Lieferantin / der Lieferant mind. 1 Meter vom Übergabeort entfernt hat.
-* Das Gleiche gilt auch für die Übergabe von Müll oder allem, was aus der Wohnung nach draußen gebracht werden soll.
-* Kann man direkten sozialen Kontakt nicht vermeiden, dann sollte die in der Isolation befindliche Person eine Atemschutzmaske tragen. Sollten im konkreten Fall keine medizinisch zertifizierte Lösung vorhanden sein, kann unter Umständen in Erwägung gezogen werden, sich selbst Masken herzustellen - eine Möglichkeit, die zumindest eine nominelle Verbesserung im Vergleich zu keiner Maske darstellt, wird in [diesem Artikel](https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/health-environment/article/3050689/how-make-your-own-mask-hong-kong-scientists) beschrieben.
-* Gehe vorsichtig mit zu übergebenden Gegenständen um, um die Übertragung des Virus mittels Oberflächen zu vermeiden. Benutze Einweghandschuhe für die Handhabung sowohl von durch dich zu liefernde Gegenstände als auch abzuholende Dinge.
-
-## Was zu beachten ist, wenn man mit einer in häuslicher Isolation befindlichen Person zusammenlebt
-
-Viele von denen, die sich in Isolation befinden – weil sie infiziert sein könnten oder infiziert sind oder weil sie zu einer der Risikogruppen gehören – leben in einem gemeinsamen Haushalt. Auch für ältere, schwer kranke, gebrechliche oder behinderte Menschen, die auf die Hilfe anderer angewiesen sind – aber an Orten und in Situationen leben, in denen diese Hilfe nicht von qualifizierten Institutionen und ausgebildeten Betreuern geleistet werden kann – ist die empfohlene soziale Distanzierung und Isolation nicht leicht umzusetzen. In den meisten Fällen ist der direkte Kontakt mit anderen Menschen unvermeidbar. Falls Sie mit einer Person in Isolation zusammenleben, sollten Sie die folgenden Richtlinien berücksichtigen.
-
-Kurz gesagt:
-* Wenn möglich, sollte die isolierte Person einen separaten Raum bewohnen. Der Raum sollte regelmäßig gelüftet und desinfiziert werden.
-* Wenn möglich, benutzt die isolierte Person eine separate Toilette und ein separates Badezimmer. Andernfalls müssen Toilette und Bad nach jedem Benutzen desinfiziert werden.
-* Isolierte Menschen sollten von anderen Personen im Haushalt, die zu einer der Risikogruppen gehören, distanziert werden.
-* Wenn die isolierte Person die Pflege anderer Personen benötigt, sollte die Anzahl der Betreuenden minimal sein. Auch stellen Sie sicher, dass Betreuende nicht zu einer der Risikogruppen gehören.
-* Die Betreuungspersonen sollten den Abstand (zwei Meter) einhalten, sofern sie keine direkte, physische Unterstützung leisten. Sie sollten die Maske tragen, solange sie sich im selben Raum wie eine infizierte Person befinden und sich vor und nach dem Kontakt die Hände mit Seife waschen oder sie desinfizieren.
-* Desinfizieren Sie die Oberflächen und trennen Sie Gewebe und andere kontaminierte Gegenstände vom restlichen Müll. Bewahren Sie den kontaminierten Müll fest verschnürt in einem Plastiksack im Zimmer der infizierten Person auf, und bringen Sie ihn erst kurz vor der regulären Abholung separat zur Mülltonne.
-* Benutzen Sie getrenntes Besteck und Geschirr, waschen und desinfizieren Sie es nach dem Gebrauch.
-* Waschen Sie Bettwäsche, Handtücher und Kleidung getrennt, regelmäßig und bei hoher Temperatur.
-
-
-## Regelmässigen Kontakt aufrechterhalten und emotionale Unterstützung bieten
-
-Halten Sie häufig Rücksprache mit der infizierten Person. Hören Sie zu. Nehmen Sie Anteilnahme. Beachten Sie Folgendes:
-
-* Hat die Person alles, was sie braucht? Fühlt sie sich wohl? Braucht sie medizinische Hilfe?
-* Menschen in sozialer Isolation fehlt es möglicherweise an Kontakt und emotionaler Unterstützung. Nehmen Sie sich Zeit für sie, versuchen Sie zu verstehen, wie sie sich fühlen und wie sie versuchen, mit ihrer Situation umzugehen.
-* Wenn Sie glauben, dass es einer isolierten Person emotional nicht gut geht, prüfen Sie verschiedene psychologische Beratungshotlines, und raten sie ihr, sich dort professionell beraten zu lassen.
-* Wenn Sie sich darüber informieren möchten, wie Sie selbständig psychologische Unterstützung leisten können, ziehen Sie die Lektüre der Session [Psycho-Social Autonomy](https://syllabus.pirate.care/topic/psychosocialautonomy/) (ENG) in diesem Syllabus in betracht.

-## Anmerkungen
-
-[^1]: Übersetzung von Bue Rübner Hansen: ORGANISIEREN SIE DIE SOLIDARITÄT IN IHREN GEBÄUDEN UND STRASSEN - Was können Sie tun?: 1. Organisieren Sie sich in Gruppen in Ihrem Gebäude oder entlang Ihres Straßenabschnitts, um die Menschen zu identifizieren, die Unterstützung und Hilfe bei Dingen wie Lebensmitteleinkauf, Kinderbetreuung usw. benötigen. ; 2. Um sich zu organisieren, können Sie: Treffen von Treppenhäusern oder Straßenabschnitten einberufen, alle Stockwerke Ihres Gebäudes besuchen, um die Situation in jeder Wohnung zu kennen, eine Informationstafel an Ihrem Eingang aufstellen; 3. Es ist wichtig, dass alle wissen, dass sie nicht allein sind, dass sie auf die Hilfe der Nachbarschaft zählen können; 4. Kommunikationskanäle zwischen allen im Gebäude oder Straßenabschnitt schaffen. Sowohl digital (über Mobiltelefon) als auch physisch (ein Schild am Eingang kann aktiviert werden, um alle zu informieren und Bedürfnisse zu teilen); 5. All dies sollte unter Befolgung der Regeln zur Nicht-Verbreitung des Virus geschehen.

-In einer ausgedehnten Phase der Isolation greifen Menschen zu fantasievollen Wegen, um sich kollektiv, gesellig und politisch zu organisieren. Die folgenden sind nur einige Beispiele von vielen:
-
-# Web-Radio
-
-
-
-Der Ausbruch von COVID-19 fiel in Norditalien mit dem 8. März – dem Internationalen Frauentag – zusammen. Die transfeministische Bewegung für soziale Gerechtigkeit Non Una Di Meno musste die meisten der Mobilisierungen und kollektiven Aktionen, die sie für diesen Anlass geplant hatte, absagen. So auch den Frauenstreik, der am folgenden Tag – dem 9. März – hätte stattfinden sollen. Stattdessen organisierten sie eine Reihe alternativer Aktionen: einige offline (etwa das Aufhängen von Transparenten an Gebäuden), die meisten online. Eine der wirkungsvollsten Aktionen war das Radio Non Una Di Meno, das sowohl über [Stream](https://archive.org/details/@non_una_di_meno_-_milano) als auch über UKW in Zusammenarbeit mit [lokalen Radiosendern](https://www.radiocittafujiko.it/la-marea-in-onda-lo-sciopero-transfemminista-alla-radio/) ausgestrahlt wurde.
-Das Webradio kann in Zeiten der häuslichen Isolation ein kraftvolles Instrument zur Organisation und zum Knüpfen von Kontakten sein. Hier sind einige Ressourcen, die darüber informieren, wie man eines initieren kann:

-
-Am 14. März, um die Mittagszeit, brach in vielen Städten Italiens ein langer Applaus aus den Fenstern und Balkonen aus. Die Initiative, die in sozialen Netzwerken und Nachbarschaftsgesprächen verbreitet wurde, war eine Gelegenheit, in sicherer Entfernung all jenen zu danken, die in diesen für das Land schwierigen Tagen an vorderster Front stehen: Ärzt_innen, Krankenpflegende, Fachleute, aber auch all jene Arbeitenden, die gerne zu Hause bleiben würden, aber nicht können, weil Arbeitgebende sich weigern, die Produktion einzustellen.
-Am selben Tag haben sich auch in Spanien Millionen von Menschen entschlossen, dem Gesundheitspersonal für die enormen Anstrengungen zu danken, die es in diesen Tagen unternimmt, um die Ausbreitung des Coronavirus zu stoppen. Um 22:00 Uhr, kurz nachdem der Premierminister, Pedro Sánchez, seinen öffentlichen Auftritt beendet hatte, öffneten die Bewohner vieler spanischer Städte wie Barcelona, Madrid, Oviedo und Benidorm die Fenster ihrer Häuser und begannen mit Kraft und Freude zu applaudieren, um dem Gesundheitspersonal und allen Reinigungskräften zu danken, die wie verrückt arbeiten, um dem COVID-19 gegenüberzutreten. In einigen Wohnvierteln Madrids, wie z.B. in Montecarmelo, wo viele Familien mit Kindern leben, wurde der Allaus auf 21:00 Uhr vorverschoben, damit auch die Kleinen teilnehmen konnten.
-
-In ganz Italien werden immer wieder und zu verschiedenen Tageszeiten ähnliche Flash-Mobs aus der Ferne, wie sie genannt wurden, mit Live-Musikkonzerten, DJ-Sets und improvisierten Auftritten organisiert, um die Isolation zu lindern. Ähnliches ist auch in Argentinien, der Schweiz und in UK bekannt.
-
-Um gegen die Politik des Nichtstuns von Jair Bolsonaro zu protestieren, wird auf brasilianischen Balkonen abends mit Töpfen und Topfdeckeln Lärm geschlagen.
-
-
-"Klatschen ist schon recht, eine rührende symbolische Geste des Danks und so. Lassen wir uns einfach nicht zu sehr einlullen von der eigenen Gerührtheit. Denn uns ist hoffentlich schon klar, dass auf dieses Klatschen Taten folgen müssen: harte Lohnverhandlungen, radikale Verbesserung der Arbeitsbedingungen, Systemwandel. Frau Sommaruga soll sich wundern, wie der wirkliche Ruck ausschaut, der dann durchs Land geht."

-Teheran befindet sich seit Wochen in einem halb-quarantäneartigen Zustand. Millionen von Menschen haben es vermieden, das Haus zu verlassen, aus Angst vor der Verbreitung des Coronavirus. Schulen, Universitäten, Theater und Sporthallen wurden geschlossen. Auf öffentlichen Plätzen herrscht zunehmend Stille. Die Angst wird durch die US-Sanktionen gegen den Iran noch verstärkt: diese Massnahmen haben zu einem Mangel an grundlegenden Medikamenten und Sanitätsprodukten geführt. Unter Quarantäne gestellt, begannen Iraner_innen „gemeinsam“ zu kochen – sie teilen Rezepte, sie experimentieren mit neuen und alten Gewürzen und Ideen, sie finden Freude an Aromen und am Mischen und Entdecken von Zutaten. Die Geschichten dieser Menschen haben Golrokh Nafisi, eine in Teheran lebendende Künstlerin, inspiriert. Ihre serielle Arbeit heisst "Quarantäne-Küche". Nafisi zeichnet Porträts von Freund_innen, die neue Rezepte vorbereiten. Sie arbeitet nach mündlichen Berichten ihrer Freund_innen, die ihr von ihren Koch-Experimenten unter Quarantäne erzählten. Die Porträt-Serie ist im Wachsen begriffen: Nafisi bittet alle, die ihre Geschichten mit ihr teilen möchten, sich mit ihr in Verbindung setzen, damit sie sie zeichen kann.

-- [Stuck at Home Due to Coronavirus, Millions of Chinese Are Partying Online](https://www.vice.com/en_in/article/epgapp/online-parties-china-coronavirus-lockdown)
-
-> "Während Millionen von Chines_innen während des Coronavirus-Ausbruchs zu Hause festsitzen, halten Nachtclubs im ganzen Land sie mit Online-Cloud-Raves bei Laune. Tänzer_innen finden sich auf Videoplattformen wie Douyin, Chinas Version von TikTok, ein und nehmen virtuell an den Raves teil. Einige DJs und Clubs streamen live auf Kuaishou, einer weiteren beliebten chinesischen Videoplattform. Und so funktioniert es: Die DJs filmen ihren Gig entweder von einem Veranstaltungsort oder von ihren Studios und Wohnungen aus und übertragen ihn dann per Livestream auf Douyin. Während einige DJs live auftreten, zeichnen andere ihre Auftritte vorweg auf und übertragen sie später auf Douyins Livestream. Während Cloud-Konzerten wurden für die Zuschauer bearbeitete Versionen vergangener Auftritte von Bands gezeigt. Der Reiz solcher Anlässe liegt im Wissen, dass die Leute die Konzerte gemeinsam – wenn auch physisch voneinander getrennt – verfolgen und ihre Gedanken durch Kommentare in Echtzeit teilen. Da die Sets nicht aufgenommen werden, heisst verpasst, verpasst. Menschen, die unter Quarantäne stehen oder sich vorwiegend zuhause aufhalten, haben eine breite Auswahl zur Verfügung. Einige Raver haben sogar Videos von sich selbst gepostet, wie sie zu Hause zur Musik tanzen. Diese live-gestreamten Cloud-Raves sind äußerst erfolgreich, einige davon hatten Millionen von Zuschauenden. Laut der Platform Vice nahmen fast 2,3 Millionen Menschen den Cloud-Rave des Pekinger Clubs Sir Teen am 10. Februar teil. Mehr als 100.000 Zuschauer schalteten sich innerhalb der ersten 30 Minuten zu."
-
-> "Cloud-Clubbing ist auch verdammt lukrativ. Am 9. Februar erhielt ein Live-Streaming des Nachtclubs OneThird fast 20 Millionen TikTok-Münzen von den Zuschauern, was über 1 Million RMB (143‘000 Dollar) entspricht. Eine weitere Veranstaltung am Valentinstag zog 4 Millionen Online-Zuschauer an. Der Verdienst von 570‘000 RMB (81‘500 Dollar) wurde medizinischem Personal gespendet, das an vorderster Front gegen das Coronavirus kämpft."

-Ein weiteres Phänomen ist das "Cloud-Schlafen".
-
-> "Ein Live-Streamer mit dem moniker SheiJiaDeYuanSan wurde von über 18 Millionen Menschen in seinem 12-stündigen Schlaf beobachtet. Warum diese Nachfrage nach einem Mann, der ein ziemlich langes Nickerchen macht? Es gibt keine Antworten, zumindest noch nicht. Auch SheiJiaDeYuanSan ist von seinem über Nacht erlangten Ruhm verwirrt. Er erzählte ChinaZ.com, dass es ihm, trotz seiner plötzlichen Popularität und der Einnahmen aus seinem Cloud-Schlaf, jetzt genüge. Bereits um 17:00 begannen follower ihm zu drohen, ihn zu un-followen, falls er nicht sofort einschlafe."

-
-
-In Italien, wo der Aperitif ein etabliertes soziales Ritual ist, testen Freundeskreise, aber auch Bars und Pubs, neue Formen der Geselligkeit: Sie organisieren virtuelle Zusammenkünfte über Videokonferenz-Apps wie HouseParty oder Zoom. In Varese veranstaltete ein Cafè einen I-peritivo live auf Instagram. Die Teilnehmenden wurden gebeten, statt ihre Drinks zu bezahlen, dem örtlichen Krankenhaus eine Spende zu überweisen.
-
-Da viele kommerzielle Videokonferenz-Plattformen erst nach Erreichen einer bestimmten Anzahl von Benutzern Gebühren erheben, entdecken die Leute Wege, um solche Einschränkungen zu umgehen. Zum Beispiel durch die Verbindung mit vier Freund_innen über WhatsApp (grössere Gruppen erlaubt die App nicht) und gleichzeitig mit zwei weiteren Personen über Skype. Die gratis Testanwendung von Zoom lässt Gruppen unbeschränkter Grösse für eine Zeitdauer von 40 Minuten zu. Nach 40 Minuten wird aufgelegt und ein neuer Call gestartet. Und über das open source-Tool jit.si lässt sich dies auch ohne persönliche Registrierung und verbesserter Features mit Blick auf die Einhaltung von Datenschutz und Privatsphäre realisieren, die bei Zoom eher nachgelagert erscheinen.

-# Ökologische Wurzeln der Pandemie
-
-Wie der Epidemiologe Dennis Carroll beschreibt, zeigt die laufende Forschung der EcoHealth Alliance, einer Organisation zum Schutz der Tierwelt und der öffentlichen Gesundheit vor dem Auftreten von Krankheiten[^1], dass in den letzten vier Jahrzehnten ein zwei- bis dreifacher Anstieg der zoonotischen Sprünge der Viren vom Tier auf den Menschen zu verzeichnen war.[^2] Die erhöhte Wahrscheinlichkeit von Epidemien wie dem Coronavirus ist einerseits eine Folge der raschen Ausdehnung der industriellen Landwirtschaft und des industriellen Ackerbaus auf Wildtierhabitate. Andererseits hat sie mit einem zunehmenden Einbezug wild lebender Arten in kapitalistische Warenketten zu tun.[^3] Es sind die Zonen an der Schnittstelle von zurückgedrängten Wildtiergebieten und der vordringenden Landwirtschaft, die zoonotische Sprünge von Wildtieren auf Nutztiere befördern (wobei Flughunde einen besonderen Beitrag leisten).[^4] Von diesen Zonen aus verbreiten sich die Viren auf die menschliche Bevölkerung. Die Übertragung von Viren von industriell gezüchteten Tieren wie Schweinen, Geflügel und Dromedaren zum Menschen waren die Ursache für Vogelgrippe, Schweinegrippe, SARS, MERS, H5N2- und H5Nx-Grippeepidemien.
-
-Geschädigte Ökosysteme, deren Komplexität zugunsten industrieller Landwirtschaft und Monokulturen reduziert wurde, haben eine geringere inhärente Fähigkeit, die Ausbreitung von Epidemien unter den wildlebenden Arten zu verhindern. Daher wird erwartet, dass die planetarische ökologische Destabilisierung – eine Kombination aus Klimawandel, Landnutzungsänderung und biochemischen Rissen – zunehmend neue Krankheitserreger hervorbringen wird. Das Stockholmer Resilienz-Institut hat als Indikatoren für diese Destabilisierung unter anderem neuartige Entitäten vorgeschlagen. Zu ihnen gehören etwa: vom Menschen hergestellte, nicht lebende Materialien und Lebewesen wie synthetische Schadstoffe, radioaktive Materialien, Nanomaterialien, Mikrokunststoffe oder genetisch veränderte Organismen. In diese Kategorie lassen sich auch die mutagenen Viren einschließen, die aus den durch die industrielle Landwirtschaft geschaffenen Bedingungen entstehen.
-
-
-# Umweltfolgen der Pandemie
-
-In den ersten Tagen der Abschottung von Hubei machten Satellitenbilder der NASA die Runde. Sie deuteten darauf hin, dass die Einstellung der industriellen Produktion und die Reduzierung des Verkehrs sowohl die Luftverschmutzung radikal reduziert wurde. Als eine mögliche Folge dieser Entwicklung wurde die Rettung von bis zu 77'000 Menschenleben genannt.[^5] Große norditalienische Städte wie Mailand, die für ihre schlechte Luftqualität berüchtigt sind, haben ebenfalls einen radikalen Rückgang der Verschmutzung erlebt.[^6] Nach der ersten (nur scheinbar völlig irrationalen) Entscheidung der Fluggesellschaften, ihre Flugfrequenzen auch ohne Passagiere hoch zu halten, bleiben nun ganze Verkehrsflugzeugsflotten am Boden. Die Luftverschmutzung, die durch die Verkehrsluftfahrt entsteht, ist die weltweite Ursache für 16'000 (vermeidbare) Todesfälle jährlich.[^7] Die Verlangsamung der wirtschaftlichen Aktivität während des Ausbruchs wird sich zwangsläufig auch auf die Senkung der globalen Treibhausgasemissionen auswirken. Und die geringere Luftverschmutzung führt zu einer besseren Genesung von Corona-Fällen.
-
-Die Verringerung der Verschmutzung und der Emissionen, die aus dem Zusammenbruch und nicht aus einem politisch getriebenen und partizipatorischen Prozess resultiert, ist jedoch nichts, was bejubelt werden sollte. Das Abwägen der relativen Zahl von Toten ist ein verkappter Malthusianismus.[^8] Wenn die Welt sich von der Krise erholt hat, werden die umweltschädlichen Muster des kapitalistischen Produktionssystems ungebremst zurückkommen. Darunter werden verwundbare Gemeinschaften leiden müssen. Tatsächlich liefern sich Saudi-Arabien und Russland bereits einen Preiskrieg, indem sie immer mehr billiges Öl auf den Weltmarkt bringen. Die Angebotsmenge übersteigt bei weitem das, was unter den Bedingungen der reduzierten Nachfrage derzeit benötigt wird. Sobald sich der COVID-19-Ausbruch verlangsamt, könnte die Welt mit billigem Öl überschwemmt werden. Dies würde die Emissionsreduzierung während des Pandemie-Ausbruchs sehr bald wieder zunichtemachen. Um es kurz zu machen: ein nachhaltiges und gerechtes Leben für alle verlangt nach Politik und nicht nach einem Zusammenbruch.
-
-# Lehren für die Umwelt, die aus der Pandemie gezogen werden können
-
-Die Krise schafft auch die Möglichkeit zu überdenken, wie unsere Produktions- und Konsumsysteme organisiert sind und wofür. Radikale Forderungen nach einem koordinierten Management der sozialen Anpassung; massive Anstrengungen zur Rettung von Menschenleben; die kollektive Bereitschaft, die Organisation unseres Lebens zu ändern; eine radikale Umverteilung und die Bereitwilligkeit, die Unsicherheit angesichts der Tragödie zu akzeptieren, scheinen überraschend möglich. Die TINA-Doktrin scheint plötzlich, wenn auch nur für einen Moment, auf einen lächerlichen historischen Fetisch einer Gruppe von Soziopath_innen reduziert zu sein: Sie haben von der Selbstgefälligkeit einer ausgedehnten Friedensperiode und dem wachsenden Wohlstand profitiert, um sich mit ihrer Klasse willentlich einem sozialen Experiment hinzugeben. Einem Experiment, bei dem das Leben von Menschen unter die Räder der Wiederherstellung von Profiten geworfen wird.
-
-Aus der gegenwärtigen Pandemie haben wir bereits einige wertvolle Lehren für den ökologischen Übergang ziehen können:
-
-- Langfristig hat das Leben Vorrang vor der kurzsichtigen Wirtschaft.
-- Reaktionen auf massive Bedrohungen von Menschenleben können nur sozial geplant und gehandhabt werden.
-- Ein Mangel an globaler Zusammenarbeit kann die Bedrohung noch verstärken (kann aber zum Bumerang werden, wie die Trump-Administration oder die EU jetzt herausfinden).
-- Ein wichtiger Pfeiler der Bedrohungsbewältigung ist die Rücknahme der Kontrolle über privatisierte Sozialdienste und Infrastruktur.
-- Unternehmen können dazu gedrängt werden, sich dem von der Regierung auferlegten Management zu unterwerfen, wenn ihr Geschäftsmodell nicht mehr tragfähig ist, und sie können dazu gezwungen werden, für soziale Bedürfnisse zu produzieren.
-- Die Steuerpolitik ist ein wesentliches Instrument zur Steuerung der sozialen Anpassung.
-- Die Versorgung mit Wohnraum, Nahrung und Gesundheit kann sozialisiert werden.
-- In kritischen Momenten erweist sich die Arbeit der sozialen Reproduktion, die ansonsten im Hintergrund steht, unsichtbar gemacht wird und als wirtschaftlich zweitrangig gegenüber der Produktion ersetzbarer Dinge angesehen wird, als wesentlich und am wertvollsten für die Gesellschaften.
-- Die Menschen sind bereit, massenhaft zu dieser Arbeit der sozialen Reproduktion beizutragen.
-- Muster des täglichen Lebens können sich angesichts einer massiven Bedrohung über Nacht radikal ändern und von der Bevölkerung angenommen werden.
-- Entscheidend für eine radikale Veränderung ist es, wie die nun mobilisierte menschliche Fähigkeit zu sozial sinnvoller Arbeit und geselliger Freizeit organisiert werden kann.
-
-
-Es gibt offensichtliche Parallelen zwischen der globalen ökologischen Destabilisierung und der Coronavirus-Pandemie. Beides sind scheinbar unsichtbare Prozesse – mehr Behauptungen von Wissenschaftlern als gelebte Realität – bis sie durch den Verlust von Menschenleben und den Zusammenbruch bisher unveränderlich scheinender Lebensweisen schmerzlich empfunden werden. Doch die globale Umweltdestabilisierung ist geographisch und zeitlich sehr ungleichmäßig verteilt. Die Wohlhabenden werden zunächst mehrheitlich in der Lage sein, die unmittelbare Bedrohung begrenzen, während die Armen der südlichen Hemisphäre bereits jetzt unter den Effekten leiden. Aber zu gegebener Zeit wird niemand der rasanten Destabilisierung der planetarischen Ökosysteme entgehen. Der Zeitrahmen für die Maßnahmen wird nicht in Wochen, sondern in Jahren und Jahrzehnten gemessen.
-
-Mit der Wende in der sozioökonomischen Doktrin und dem neu erwachten Sinn für das Mögliche können wir die aktuelle Situation als Chance betrachten, um die Bedingungen der politischen Debatte angesichts langfristiger Bedrohungen neu zu bestimmen und kollektive Maßnahmen zu organisieren. Dies, um auf eine gerechte und nachhaltige Zukunft zu drängen, die Leben und Ökosysteme retten kann. Was jetzt geschieht, ist eine drastische Abweichung vom politischen Status quo, die zeigt, dass Menschenleben wichtiger sind als kapitalistische Akkumulation. Wenn die Menschen die Krise verstehen können, die sich in einem plötzlichen Anstieg der Virusausbreitung niederschlägt, dann sollten wir jetzt mehr denn je in der Lage sein, uns die Krise vorzustellen, die durch die langsame und noch tödlichere ökologische Destabilisierung ausgelöst wurde. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass eine radikale, sozial gesteuerte Transformation möglich ist. Sie muss jedoch dringend stattfinden. Und sie muss auf der Basis der sozioökonomischen Schwierigkeiten geschehen, die die Pandemie hinterlassen wird.

-# Eine Geschichte des Kampfes gegen die Verfügbarkeit von behinderten Menschen
-Uns Menschen mit Behinderungen oder chronischen Krankheiten wird seit langem und immer wieder die Versorgung verweigert. Egal, wo wir uns befinden, wir haben mit den Defiziten bei der medizinischen Behandlung, in der Anpassung der bebauten Umgebung, beim Zugang zu unterstützenden Technologien, in der persönlichen Betreuung und vielen anderen unerfüllten Anforderungen kämpfen. Gleichzeitig sind wir damit konfrontiert, dass uns Pflegeleistungen auferlegt werden. Wir müssen unsere Autonomie entgegen der familiären Überfürsorge, der erzwungenen Institutionalisierung und trotz der Segregation in spezialisierten Einrichtungen erkämpfen. Seit langem organisieren sich unsere Gemeinschaften und kämpfen darum, die doppelte - objektive und subjektive - Behinderung zu überwinden.
-
-## Sozialmodell der Behinderten- und Behindertenrechtsbewegung
-Eine kritische Periode in der Geschichte der Behinderten- und Behindertenrechtsbewegung waren die 60er und 70er Jahre. Damals begann die Bewegung für die Rechte von Behinderten, Kritik am damals dominierenden medizinischen Modell, nach dem Behinderung definiert und klassifiziert wurde, zu üben. Das medizinische Modell[^1], das das frühere eugenische Modell ersetzte, sah Behinderung in erster Linie als ein individuelles Leiden an, das durch medizinische Intervention behandelt und durch spezialisierte Institutionen sozialisiert werden musste. Das medizinische Modell war insofern reduzierend, da es das individuelle Leiden nicht in seinem sozialen Kontext verstand. Damit wurde die Ausgrenzung unserer Gemeinschaften in den meisten Aspekten des sozialen Lebens aufrechterhalten.
-
-Aus der Kritik am medizinischen Modell ging ein integratives, soziales Modell der Behinderung hervor[^2]: Es berücksichtigt physische, sensorische, kognitive oder psychische Beeinträchtigungen so, wie sie in der sozialen Welt der physischen Barrieren, der Vorurteile, der Unsichtbarkeit und der fähigkeitspriorisierenden Arbeitssphäre in Erscheinung treten. Institutionelle, kulturelle und umweltbezogene Faktoren, die sich an nicht-behinderten Normkörpern orientieren, wirken zusammen und schränken Menschen mit Behinderungen bei der Verwirklichung ihrer Fähigkeiten und Bestrebungen ein. Nach dem integrativen und sozialen Modell sind es diese Prozesse der sozialen Behinderung – und nicht die Beeinträchtigung selbst – die Behinderung definieren.
-Von diesem erweiterten Verständnis von Behinderung ausgehend leitete die Behindertenrechtsbewegung in den 1970er Jahren einen Zyklus von Protesten, Kampagnen und anderen Aktionen ein. Sie wurde dabei von grösseren Initiativen wie der zivilgesellschaftlich organisierten Justizbewegung und der Arbeiterbewegung inspiriert und unterstützt. In Frage gestellt wurde etwa die Macht wirtschaftlicher Interessen und paternalistischer Institutionen bei der strukturellen Ausgrenzung von Behinderten, eine bedingungslose Anerkennung der Rechte von Behinderten und die Schaffung inklusiver institutioneller Rahmenbedingungen wurden verlangt. Menschen mit Behinderungen, so die Forderung, hätten das Recht, individuell und kollektiv ihre eigenen Bedürfnisse zu definieren und Anspruch auf ein unabhängiges Leben.
-
-
-
-## Radikales Modell der Behinderung und Kontinuität des Kampfes
-
-Während Verfechter_innen des sozialen Modells anfangs die strukturelle Ausgrenzung im Allgemeinen und die ihr zugrundeliegenden Machtverhältnisse betonten, wurde der Fokus im Zuge der dahingehend erzielten Erfolge in den kommenden zwei Jahrzehnten zunehmend auf Behinderung (als ein von anderen Formen struktureller Ausgrenzung und Unterdrückung isoliertes Phänomen) gelegt. Die strukturellen Verflechtungen, die weiterhin nicht nur das Leben vieler Menschen mit Behinderungen, die Pflege und Unterstützung benötigten, sondern – in ganz unterschiedlichen Formen – auch jenes der gesamten erwerbsfähigen Bevölkerung bestimmten, wurden weitgehend ignoriert. Aufgrund dieser Unzulänglichkeiten des sozialen Modells entstand in den 1990er Jahren das radikale Modell der Behinderung. Es beruht auf dem Verständnis von Behinderung als nur einer von vielen verschiedenen Formen des Seins, und stellt die positive Identifikation und die Selbstbefähigung aller jener in den Vordergrund, die in einer von Normen geprägten Gesellschaft als queer, verkrüppelt und verrückt intersektional diskriminiert werden.
-
-Wie dem auch sei, die Verwirklichung der Rechte von Behinderten, die im Rahmen des sozialen Modells formuliert wurden, bleiben auch in progressiven und wohlhabenden Kontexten eine Herausforderung. Letztendlich hing sie immer auch von unserer eigenen Fähigkeit ab, unser Leben in und mit der Abhängigkeit zu organisieren und uns gegen Diskriminierung, Bevormundung und Vernachlässigung zu mobilisieren. Und dies wird auch weiterhin der Fall sein. Das schmerzliche Bewusstsein, dass nichts erreicht werden kann, das uns nicht wieder weggenommen werden könnte, ist in unserem Slogan verankert, der auch als Warnung dient: " Nothing About Us Without Us!“.
-
-Nach deiner langen Zeit des Kampfes und der Mobilisierung sollte insbesondere den Gesundheitsbehörden und politischen Entscheidungsträger_innen klar sein, dass wir – die Gemeinschaft der Behinderten und verbündete Gemeinschaften von Menschen mit chronischen Krankheiten, Adipositas oder Menschen mit durch Ausbeutung, Armut oder Arbeitslosigkeit geschädigten Körpern – nicht stillsitzen werden, während andere in der gegenwärtigen Pandemie für uns Entscheidungen treffen.
-
-# Die Pandemie und die Bedrohung unserer Leben
-Die Weltgesundheitsorganisation[^3] schätzt, dass etwa 15% der Weltbevölkerung mit irgendeiner Form von Behinderung lebt. Viele dieser Menschen sind zusätzlich von sekundären Erkrankungen, Komorbiditäten, früherem Altern und vorzeitigem Tod betroffen. Diese Leiden werden durch unzureichende medizinische Versorgung, mangelnden sozialen Schutz, Arbeitslosigkeit, Armut und soziale Isolation noch verstärkt.
-
-All diese Faktoren werden zu zusätzlichen Risikofaktoren in Epidemie-Situationen. Dies weil diese sozialen Determinanten der gesundheitlichen Ungleichheit die Voraussetzungen für eine schnellere Übertragung und eine höhere Morbidität und Mortalität schaffen.[^4] Mit dem Ausbruch der SARS-CoV-2-Pandemie, bei der Morbidität und Mortalität bei Menschen mit Grunderkrankungen besonders hoch sind, sind Menschen mit Behinderungen oder chronischen Krankheiten zur Zeit in einer Situation extremer Verwundbarkeit. Wir sollten es vermeiden, uns anzustecken.
-
-Diese Verwundbarkeit kann durch Massnahmen des öffentlichen Gesundheitswesens und politische Entscheidungen auf verschiedene Weise noch verstärkt werden:
-
-## Die Unsichtbarkeit behinderter Menschen in den Richtlinien des öffentlichen Gesundheitswesens
-
-Oft werden in den Maßnahmen, Protokollen und Mitteilungen des öffentlichen Gesundheitswesens werden die spezifischen Bedürfnisse von Menschen mit Behinderungen oder chronischen Krankheiten nicht ausreichend berücksichtigt.[^5] In einer Situation erheblicher Lebensgefahr werden wir wieder irrelevant und unsichtbar gemacht.
-
-So werden wir in den Richtlinien öffentlicher Gesundheitsdienste typischerweise alle als "andere Risikogruppen" in einen Topf geworfen. Während die Behinderung und die chronische Krankheit oft mit der Aussicht auf eine eingeschränkte Mobilität und ein weitgehend auf das häusliche Leben beschränktes Leben einhergehen, sind viele von uns auf regelmäßige berufliche oder familiäre Unterstützung angewiesen. Deshalb können wir nicht einfach Distanz wahren und uns isolieren, wie es empfohlen wird. Da Pflegekräfte durch niedrige Löhne und prekäre Arbeitsverhältnisse oft dazu gezwungen sind, mehr als eine Person unterstützen und in mehr als einer Einrichtung arbeiten, sind sie selbst dem Risiko ausgesetzt, sich anzustecken und die Infektion auf uns zu übertragen.
-
-**Deshalb braucht es Protokolle, Beratung, Nachrichten und Hotlines im Bereich des öffentlichen Gesundheitswesens, die speziell darauf abzielen, das Infektionsrisiko für Menschen mit Behinderungen und jenen die sie unterstützen zu verringern. Außerdem müssen Maßnahmen zum sozialen Schutz eingeführt werden: Etwa um zusätzliche Unterstützungskräfte zu mobilisieren und zu gewährleisten, dass alle Unterstützenden - ob professionell oder nicht - während der Pandemie bezahlt werden und, im Falle einer Ansteckung, Krankengeld erhalten können.**[^6]
-
-Darüber hinaus wird das Gefühl, dass Behinderung und chronische Krankheit durch inadäquate öffentliche Gesundheitsmaßnahmen und eine unzulängliche Berichterstattung kontinuierlich unsichtbar gemacht werden, zur Zeit noch verstärkt: Dies durch den Kontrast zwischen dem, was Gesellschaften bereit sind zu tun, um die spezifischen Bedürfnisse körperlich gesunder Menschen zu befriedigen, die momentan zu Hause leben und arbeiten und somit von der Arbeit anderer abhängig sind. Unter anderen Umständen, in Bezug auf unsere Leben, werden diese Bedürfnisse nicht gedeckt.
-
-## Verfügbarkeit medizinischer Güter und medizinischer Behandlung
-
-Menschen mit Behinderungen oder chronischen Krankheiten benötigen häufig Sauerstoffflaschen, Beatmungsgeräte und Schutzausrüstung wie Masken und Handschuhe. Derzeit sind diese jedoch knapp. **Wenn bei der Sicherung entsprechender Vorräte Menschen mit Behinderungen oder chronischen Krankheiten nicht zu den vorrangigen Empfänger_innen gehören, könnte dies die bestehenden Gesundheitszustände verschlimmern und die Anfälligkeit erhöhen.**
-
-Auch die Verwundbarkeit derjenigen unter uns wird erhöht, die für medizinische Behandlungen wie Dialyse oder Akuttherapien Krankenhäuser aufsuchen müssen. **Die Krankenhäuser müssen in der Lage sein (und bleiben), diese Kapazitäten im Voraus zu planen und Vorkehrungen treffen, um die Risiken der Übertragung auf ambulante Patienten mit Behinderungen zu verringern.** Dies könnte schwierig werden, wenn die Kapazitäten der Krankenhäuser überbeansprucht sind.
-
-Am meisten gefährdet sind jedoch diejenigen unter uns, die sich in Pflegeheimen oder Wohneinrichtungen befinden. Diese Einrichtungen sollten einer strengeren Aufsicht unterliegen und über adäquate Verfahren verfügen – insbesondere wenn sie privat geführt werden. Dies würde dabei helfen, Fälle von massiver Vernachlässigung und das Ausscheiden von Pflegepersonal zu vermeiden, wie es Berichten zufolge in einigen Pflegeheimen in Spanien geschehen ist.
-
-## Depriorisierung und Triage
-
-Da ein plötzlicher Anstieg des Bedarfs an Betten, Beatmungsgeräten oder medizinischem Personal das Gesundheitssystem zu überfordern droht, sind die Gesundheitsbehörden und Krankenhäuser gezwungen, Entscheidungen über die Zuweisung unzureichender Ressourcen an Patienten, die eine Intensivpflege benötigen, zu treffen. Prinzipiell werden jene, die aufgrund ihrer gesundheitlichen Grundkonstitution oder ihrer klinischen Aussichten geringere Heilungschancen haben, aus der Prioritätenliste gestrichen. Wie die erschütternde Situation in der Lombardei gezeigt hat, haben Ärzte keine andere Wahl, als bei der Triage zu entscheiden, wer ein Beatmungsgerät in Anspruch nehmen darf und wen sie sterben lassen sollen.[^7] Die Gefahr ist hier, dass Menschen mit Behinderungen oder chronischen Krankheiten implizit aus der Prioritätenliste gestrichen werden. In einigen US-Bundesstaaten wie Alabama und Tennessee wird in der Intensivpflege Menschen mit geistiger Behinderung oder spinalem Muskelschwund explizit die Priorität entzogen, da man davon ausgeht, dass ihr Leben weniger wert ist.[^8]
-
-**Menschen mit Behinderungen oder chronischen Krankheiten werden doppelt de-priorisiert und es wird über sie verfügt: erstens wegen ihres größeren Bedarfs an medizinischer Versorgung und Behandlung, und zweitens – wenn es um die Intensivpflege geht – wegen ihrer gesundheitlichen Grundkonstitution.** Aus diesen Gründen hat die American Association of People with Disabilities einen Brief an den Kongress geschickt, in dem sie "ein gesetzliches Verbot der Rationierung knapper medizinischer Ressourcen auf der Grundlage des erwarteten oder nachgewiesenen ressourcenintensiven Bedarfs" fordert.[^9] Sollte dem Postulat nicht stattgegeben werden, setzt sich die Diskriminierung Behinderter durch jene die Maßnahmen, die eigentlich darauf abzielen, Leben zu retten, fort.
-
-# "Nothing About Us Without Us!"
-
-Während sich die SARS-CoV-2-Pandemie ausbreitet, mobilisieren und organisieren sich die Gemeinschaften der Behinderten und chronisch Kranken. Es ist ihnen bewusst, dass die Entscheidungsträger_innen und Institutionen ihre Verpflichtungen in Bezug auf Behindertenrechte schnell beginnen werden, zu vernachlässigen. Unsere Reaktion beschränkt sich nicht auf Maßnahmen von Regierungen und Institutionen. Wir tragen zu breiteren Solidaritätsnetzwerken bei, die kollektive Hilfe und gegenseitige Unterstützung organisieren und Menschen mit Behinderungen[^9], chronischen Krankheiten[^10] oder Krankheiten wie Adipositas[^11] beraten.
-
-**Angesichts der gefährlichen Folgen der Vernachlässigung ist es unerlässlich, dass wir uns mobilisieren, um von den Gesundheitsbehörden zu fordern, dass sie uns in die Entscheidungsprozesse einbeziehen, die letztlich über unsere Überlebenschancen entscheiden werden.**

-# Geschichte(n) des öffentlichen Gesundheitswesen
-
-Am 17. März 2020 hat das spanische Gesundheitsministerium angekündigt, dass die Regierung [alle privaten Krankenhäuser des Landes](https://publicservices.international/resources/news/spain-nationalises-all-private-hospitals-uk-rents-hospital-beds?id=10645&lang=en) auf unbestimmte Zeit unter staatliche Kontrolle stellt, um die Verbreitung von COVID-19-Infektionen zu bekämpfen. "Für die Dauer dieser Krise wird der Staat die Kontrolle über alle privaten Krankenhauseinrichtungen übernehmen und alle Ressourcen zum gemeinsamen Nutzen aller Menschen in Irland verwalten", [erklärte der irische Gesundheitsminister Simon Harris](https://www.thejournal.ie/private-hospitals-ireland-coronavirus-5056334-Mar2020/)am 24. März. In Großbritannien muss der NHS [8‘000 private Krankenhausbetten für 2‘400‘000 Pfund pro Tag mieten](https://metro.co.uk/2020/03/16/nhs-rent-8000-private-hospital-beds-2400000-per-day-12406301/). Der Sprecher des [südafrikanischen Gesundheitsministeriums](https://www.iol.co.za/business-report/economy/no-plan-to-nationalise-private-hospitals-in-wake-of-coronavirus-45187424), Popo Maja, sagte in einem Interview mit dem Business Report, dass die Regierung wegen der Epidemie nicht die Verstaatlichung privater Krankenhäuser anstrebe.
-Auf der ganzen Welt zwingt die Covid-19-Pandemie die Regierungen dazu, sich die Frage nach der Gesundheitsversorgung als universelles Recht stellen. Als ein Recht, das durch allgemeine Steuern öffentlich finanziert werden und für alle verfügbar sein sollte.
-
-In diesem Kontext stellt diese Session Geschichte(n) zusammen, die nachvollziehbar machen, wie nationale Gesundheitsdienste in verschiedenen Ländern – auch dank wichtiger sozialer Kämpfe – entstanden sind.

-
-Italien ist ein bedeutender Fall von politischem Erfolg im Gesundheitswesen. Nach den Daten der OECD für 2017 beträgt die Lebenserwartung bei der Geburt in Italien 83,1 Jahre, verglichen mit 80,9 Jahren im EU-Durchschnitt. Die gesamten Gesundheitsausgaben pro Einwohner_in betragen 2.483 Euro – gegenüber 2.884 im EU-Durchschnitt (ein Unterschied von 15%). Es scheint paradox, dass das europäische Land mit der höchsten Lebenserwartung dieses Ergebnis mit reduzierten Ausgaben erreicht hat.
-
-Der Druck zur Schaffung eines öffentlichen Gesundheitssystems im Jahr 1978 entstand aus einer beispiellosen Allianz zwischen linken politischen Kräften, radikalem Gesundheitsaktivismus, Kämpfen von Gewerkschaften, Arbeitnehmer_innengruppen, Student_innen- und Frauenbewegungen, sowie fortschrittlichem Vorgehen und positiven Erfahrungen bei der Erneuerung der medizinischen Praxis.
-
-Das Ergebnis - die Reform von 1978 - war ein universeller, öffentlicher, kostenloser Gesundheitsdienst, der eine breite Palette von Leistungen außerhalb des Marktes anbietet. Das System wurde weitgehend nach dem Vorbild des britischen NHS gestaltet und in Anlehnung an die Definition von Gesundheit, die 1946 von der WHO formuliert wurde, augebildet.
-
-Bei der Reform in Italien wurde die Tradition eines korporatistischen Gesundheitssystems mit seiner begrenzten Abdeckung separater Berufsgruppen aufgegeben. Stattdessen wurde ein öffentlicher und universeller Gesundheitsdienst eingeführt, der durch allgemeine Steuern finanziert wird und für alle frei zugänglich ist - nicht nur für italienische Bürger_innen, sondern für alle, die im Land leben.
-
-In mehreren Bereichen - psychische Gesundheit, Arbeitsmedizin, Frauengesundheit, Drogentherapie - sind neue Erkenntnisse über Krankheitsprävention, neue Praktiken der Leistungserbringung und innovative institutionelle Regelungen entstanden. Dies mit Schwerpunkt auf gebietlichen Diensten zur Abdeckung von sowohl gesundheitlichen als auch sozialen Bedürfnissen.
-
-
-
-
-Der intellektuelle Rahmen für die Gesundheitsreform in Italien kam von Persönlichkeiten, die Kompetenz und politisches Engagement verbanden: Franco Basaglia mit seiner Arbeit rund um radikale Psychiatrie; Giulio Maccacaro der Gründer der "Medicina Democratica", einer radikalen Gesundheitsbewegung; Giovanni Berlinguer, einWissenschaftler und Abgeordneter der Kommunistischen Partei; Alessandro Seppilli, ein Spezialist für öffentliche Gesundheit und sozialistischer Bürgermeister der Stadt Perugia; Laura Conti, eine Schlüsselfigur der Sozialistischen Partei und Wegbereiterin der italienischen Umweltbewegung; Ivar Oddone, ein Arbeitsmediziner und ehemaliger Partisan - er inspirierte die Figur des Kim, einem jungen Partisanen und Medizinstudenten, in Italo Calvinos erstem Buch *Wo Spinnen ihre Nester bauen* (1947).
-
-Die Arbeit dieser Personen schuf die Basis für eine integrierte Vision der Gesundheit: physisch und psychisch, individuell und kollektiv, verbunden mit Gemeinschaft und Gebiet. Es wurde eine neue, weniger hierarchische Art der Ärzt_innen-Patient_innen-Beziehung entworfen; das Modell einer dezentralisierten Gesundheitsorganisation mit Elementen der Partizipation wurde eingeführt; die zentrale Bedeutung der Präventivmedizin gegenüber der Heilmedizin wurde betont. Wie es Giulio Maccacaro 1976 argumentiert hatte, folgte man einer *bottom-up* Strategie der "Politisierung der Medizin". Diese stellte die Art und Weise in Frage, wie der industrielle Kapitalismus die Arbeiter_innen ausbeutete und die Gesundheits- und Sozialbedingungen im Land untergrub.
-
-Diese politische Strategie sah Gesundheit als ein Kombinat einer kollektiven Dimension und einem individuellen Zustand an. Sie forderte daher kollektive Kämpfe, um die wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Wurzeln von Krankheiten und Problemen der öffentlichen Gesundheit anzugehen. Dieser Ansatz wurde parallel auch von der feministischen Bewegung bei der Behandlung von Frauengesundheitsfragen verfolgt – einschließlich der wichtigen Experimente in selbstorganisierten Gesundheitskliniken.
-
-Jahrzehntelange "Managementreformen", Mittelkürzungen und Privatisierungsbemühungen haben jedoch die Dienstleistungsstandards des italienischen Systems gesenkt; die medizinische Versorgung wird durch eine Art Ticketsystem reguliert, wobei die „Tickets“ von den Patient_innen bezahlt werden. Dies hat zu einer sehr ungleichen Kapazität der Dienstleistungen in den unterschiedlichen Regionen Italiens geführt.
-
-Die ersten Maßnahmen der italienischen Regierung am 17. März 2020 (als die Pandemie ausbrach) war die Aufstockung der Mittel für den Gesundheitsnotstand um 3 Milliarden Euro und die Einstellung von 20‘000 Ärzt_innen, Pflege- und Hilfspersonal. Dies war eine Anerkennung der politischen Fehler der Vergangenheit - Kürzungen, Privatisierung und Kommodifizierung - und der Notwendigkeit, die Massnahmen der öffentlichen Gesundheitsvorsorge über den Gesundheits-Markt zu stellen.

-
-Der NHS (National Health Service) ist mit der Betreuung von über anderthalb Millionen Patient_innen täglich der größte Dienst seiner Art weltweit. Er wird allgemein als nationaler Schatz angesehen - die bemerkenswerteste Errungenschaft Großbritanniens nach dem Krieg.
-
-Der NHS wurde in den Monaten vor seiner Einführung erbittert bekämpft - von der Tory-Partei und der nationalen Presse. Seine bösartigsten und lautstärksten Gegner waren jene Menschen, von denen seine Existenz abhing – Chirurg_innen, Pflegepersonal, Zahnärzt_Innen und die 20‘000 Hausärzt_innen in Großbritannien. Um den NHS überhaupt in Gang zu bringen, bedurfte es der Beharrlichkeit und Entschlossenheit eines Mannes - Nye (Aneurin) Bevan, Gesundheitsminister der Labour-Partei.
-
-Vor Juli 1948 wurden die 2‘700 britischen Krankenhäuser von Wohltätigkeitsorganisationen oder Räten betrieben. Die einzigen Menschen, die Anspruch auf kostenlose Behandlung hatten, waren diejenigen, die Arbeit hatten.
-
-1945 verabschiedete die neue Labour-Regierung ein Manifest, das eine Revolution im Gesundheitswesen versprach. Gesundheitsminister Nye Bevan wollte ein Gesundheitswesen aufbauen, das auf vier Prinzipien basierte: Es sollte am Ort der Nutzung kostenlos sein; allen, die es benötigen, zur Verfügung stehen; aus Steuergeldern bezahlt und verantwortungsvoll genutzt werden.
-
-Bevan, der aus einer Bergarbeiterfamilie stammte, ließ sich von der Tredegar Workers Medical Aid Society in Südwales inspirieren, einem bahnbrechenden gemeinschaftlichen Hilfsprogramm, das seinen Mitgliedern medizinische Leistungen, zahnärztliche Versorgung und Beerdigungskosten für nur einen Penny pro Woche bot.

-
-Diese Geschichte beginnt im Herbst 1866 mit Rebecca Lee Crumpler. Rebecca Lee Crumpler war eine junge schwarze Frau, die frei geboren und von ihrer Tante in Pennsylvania aufgezogen wurde. Ihre Tante war Medizinfrau: Sie ging von Haus zu Haus und kümmerte sich um die Kranken, und Rebecca ging mit und half ihr. Es gefiel ihr so gut, dass sie Krankenschwester wurde, und sie war so gut als Krankenschwester, dass sie die ungewöhnliche Entscheidung traf, Ärztin zu werden. Sie ging ans New England Female Medical College, ein College, das speziell für die Ausbildung von Frauen eröffnet wurde. Zu der Zeit, in der Rebecca Lee Crumpler ihren Abschluss macht, gab es etwa 54‘000 Ärzt_innen im Land – nur 300 davon Frauen ¬– und nur eine dieser Frauen war schwarz: Rebecca Lee Crumpler.
-
-
-Etwa ein Jahr nach Rebeccas Medizinstudium ging der Bürgerkrieg zu Ende, und sie traf eine weitere ungewöhnliche Entscheidung: nämlich in den Süden zu gehen, wo vier Millionen Menschen gerade aus der Sklaverei entlassen worden waren. Crumpler wusste, dass es eine große Herausforderung sein würde, jenen Menschen zu helfen und ihre vielen Grundbedürfnisse, einschließlich der Gesundheitsversorgung, zu befriedigen.
-Diesen Menschen wurde gesagt: "Ihr dürft gehen aber ohne finanzielle Mittel“. So waren sie gezwungen, sich in verlassenen Gefängnissen, ehemaligen Militärbaracken, leeren Kirchen und Flüchtlingslagern niederzulassen. Sie waren auf engstem Raum zusammengepfercht, verfügten nicht über die notwendigen Einrichtungen und Mittel, um eine gute Hygiene aufrechtzuerhalten. Davon wurden sie krank. Aber sie konnten kein Gesundheitssystem in Anspruch nehmen, es gab damals keines. Und selbst wenn...
-Damals wurde in Nordamerika ein Grossteil der medizinischen Versorgung zu Hause von Familienmitgliedern oder von Ärzt_innen auf Hausbesuch geleistet. Die einzigen Krankenhäuser, die es gab, waren Einrichtungen für die ganz Armen oder für Menschen, die krank wurden und keine Familien hatten, die sich um sie kümmern konnte. Diese Einrichtungen waren privat, sie wurden von wohltätigen Gruppen betrieben. Als die ehemaligen Sklav_innen sich an diese Einrichtungen wandten, wurden sie abgewiesen. Sie starben in großer Zahl und ihre Körper „verunreinigten“ in einigen Städten die Straßen.
-Dies stellte eine massive Gefahr für die öffentliche Gesundheit dar. Um diese Krise zu bewältigen, schuf die Regierung das erste staatliche Gesundheitsprogramm der Nation. Es nennt sich die Freedmen’s Bureau Medical Division. Und das ist es, wofür sich Rebecca Lee Crumpler in den Süden aufmachte.
-
-
-Die Freedmen’s Bureau Medical Division wurde in totaler Ambivalenz gegründet: Die Beamten wollten, dass ihre Gemeinden sauber genug sind, um Krankheiten zu verhindern, die sich auf die weiße Bevölkerung ausbreiten könnte. Doch sie wollen keine kostenlose Hilfe leisten, da sie befürchten, dass dies zu einer Abhängigkeit der schwarzen amerikanischen Gemeinde führen könnte. Deshalb wurden einige Krankenhäuser gegründet und ein paar Ärzt_innen eingestellt. Die Spitäler wurden beim ersten Anzeichen von Fortschritt wieder geschlossen; die Mittel, die Ärzt_innen (darunter Crumpler) anfordern, blieben aus.
-Da all diese Menschen an vermeidbaren Dingen starben, entstand eine Theorie: Sie begründete die hohe Sterblichkeitsrate in der schwarzen Bevölkerung folgendermassen: Schwarze Menschen sterben nicht aus Mangel an Grundversorgung, sondern weil sie den Weißen biologisch unterlegen und für die Freiheit ungeeignet sind. Es wurde argumentiert, dass die Afroamerikaner_innen buchstäblich aussterben würden. Deshalb sei die Bereitstellung jeglicher Art von Finanzmitteln oder Ressourcen zur Bekämpfung des Unvermeidlichen Unsinn.
-Dies ist das erste Beispiel für eine staatlich finanzierte Gesundheitsversorgung, und es ist ein Beispiel für etwas, das zum Scheitern verurteilt war.
-Dies realisierte auch Rebecca Lee Crumpler, und sie beschloss, ein Buch zu schreiben: Es heisst *Buch der medizinischen Diskurse in zwei Teilen*. Crumpler richtete sich damit nicht an ihre Kollegen in der weißen medizinischen Gemeinschaft oder an Segregationisten im Kongress, sondern an die schwarze Gemeinde – insbesondere Mütter und Krankenschwestern. Was das Buch lehrt ist, wie man sich selber pflegen und versorgen kann, wie man Krankheiten wie Cholera vorbeugt, wie man häufige Krankheiten wie Hämorrhoiden und Bronchitis behandeln kann. In diesem Buch sagt Crumpler schwarzen Amerikaner_innen: "Ihr seid nicht minderwertig. Ihr werdet nicht aussterben. Ihr könnt auf euch selbst aufpassen.“
-
-
-
-
-Vorspulen bis Januar 1947. Präsident Truman wünscht sich ein staatliches Krankenversicherungsprogramm, in das jeder im Voraus einzahlt und aus dem die Menschen dann schöpfen können, wenn sie es brauchen.
-
-Als Truman dieses Postulat stellt, ist das Gesundheitssystem seit dem Bürgerkrieg bereits ein wenig gewachsen – aber nicht viel. Alle Krankenhäuser, die durch das Freedmen's Bureau geschaffen wurden, sind, mit Ausnahme einer Institution in Washington D.C., alle geschlossen worden. Neue Krankenhäuser wurden gebaut. Aber es sind nicht annähernd genug, besonders im Süden herrscht Mangel. Zudem sind die Krankenhäuser, die es gibt, alle „separiert“. Eine "separat aber gleich"-Klausel wurde gesetzlich verankert: Sie bedeutete, dass schwarze Patienten entweder in ihre eigenen schwarzen Einrichtungen gehen mussten, die dünn gestreut und weit voneinander entfernt waren, oder sie wurden in die Kellerabteilungen weißer Krankenhäuser verbannt. Diese Abteilungen waren klein und boten nicht dieselbe gute Versorgung, wie sie in den weißen Einrichtungen geboten wurde.
-
-Es waren nicht nur schwarze Amerikaner_innen, die nicht genug Pflege erhielten. Es waren auch viele arme Weiße. Die meisten Amerikaner_innen waren zu dieser Zeit nicht versichert. Und die Versicherung, die es gab, war arbeitgeberbasiert. Um versichert zu werden, musste man eine Arbeitsstelle haben, bei der Versicherungsleistungen tatsächlich angeboten wurden.
-Dieses System funktionierte natürlich nicht, und Truman sah es als eines der dringendsten Probleme des Landes an. Die Lösung sah er in einer nationalen Krankenversicherung.
-
-Aber dann, Tage nach Trumans Wahlsieg, startet die American Medical Association, die größte und wohl mächtigste Berufsorganisation für Ärzt_innen im Land, eine massive Kampagne, um Truman’s Vorstoss zu Fall zu bringen. Die A.M.A. sieht ein nationales Krankenversicherungsprogramm als Bedrohung ihrer Profite an.
-Die A.M.A. stellte eine PR-Firma, sozusagen die erste politische Beratungsfirma des Landes, an. Gemeinsam wurde ein Plan entwickelt, um die allgemeine Gesundheitsversorgung zu torpedieren: Es wurde Radio-Werbung geschaltet, ausserdem Zeitungsannoncen, Anzeigen in Zeitschriften; Flugblätter und Postwurfsendungen wurden verteilt. Insgesamt wurden etwa 100 Millionen Schriftstücke durchs Land geschickt. Und das, was auf ihnen de facto stand, war ein Wahlspruch. Er lautet: "Die Politik soll in der Medizin nicht mitmischen."
-
-Und diese Kampagne funktionierte. Die Unterstützung der Bevölkerung für Trumans Gesetzesvorlage sank. Sie kam nicht durch den Kongress, und das Gesundheitssystem, das am Ende dieses Kampfes stand, war für die meisten Amerikaner_innen zu teuer und so segregiert wie nie zuvor.
-
-Medicare wurde eigentlich aus der Asche von Trumans gescheitertem nationalen Krankenversicherungsprogramm geboren. Unter Präsident Kennedy, und später unter Präsident Johnson, traten schwarzen Ärzt_innen (die die National Medical Association (N.M.A.) gegründet hatten, da sie von der A.M.A. ausgeschlossen waren) unter der Führung von Montague Cobb vehement für Medicare ein. Sie führten Proteste an, machten Lobbyarbeit im Kongress und starteten ihre eigene PR-Kampagne für gerechtere Medizin. Und ihre Botschaft war das, was schon seit langem klar ist: Die Gesundheitsversorgung ist ein Menschenrecht, und jedes Programm, das den Zugang zur Gesundheitsversorgung erweitert, ist die Pflicht einer freien und demokratischen Gesellschaft.
-
-Parallel zu diesen Entwicklungen eskalierte der Kampf um die Bürgerrechte im ganzen Land auch außerhalb der medizinischen Welt. Die Bemühungen gipfelten im Bürgerrechtsgesetz von 1964. Es besagt, dass die Diskriminierung aufgrund der Rasse verfassungswidrig ist. Genauer gesagt heißt es dort, dass die Regierung Bundesgelder von jeder Einrichtung oder Körperschaft abziehen kann, die sich nicht an das Gesetz hält. Und dazu gehören auch Krankenhäuser.
-
-Und so wurde 1966 Medicare verabschiedet, und vier Monate nach der Einführung war die Rassentrennung bereits in fast 3‘000 Krankenhäusern aufgehoben. Aber die Unterschiede in der medizinischen Versorgung von schwarzen und weißen, armen und reichen Amerikaner_innen bestehen bis heute.

Wenn zu einem Haushalt (mitunter auf kleiner Wohnfläche und ohne Aussenraum) auch Kinder gehören, kann die Situation schnell angespannt werden und eskalieren. Deshalb ist es sinnvoll, Wege zu finden, um ein friedliches und freudiges Zusammenleben für alle zu gewährleisten.
-
-
-# Kindern die Pandemie erklären
-
-Der erste Schritt, um Spannungen zu vermeiden, ist es, Kindern (in einer ihrem Alter angemessenen Sprache) zu erklären, wie man als Familie die schwierigen Wochen durchleben möchte, wie und warum solche Situationen überhaupt zustande kommen.
-In den vergangenen Wochen wurden viele Initiativen für Kinder ins Leben gerufen, um ihnen die längere Zeit zu Hause oder in der Selbstisolierung zu erleichtern: etwa über bestehende Technologien; mittels Forderungen nach der Aufhebung von Paywalls und dem freien Zugang zu digitalen Archiven; durch die Produktion von kinderspezifischen Inhalten; und durch kollektive Care-Praktiken zwischen Familien, innerhalb von Nachbarschaften und grösseren Personengruppen.

-
-# Die Kinder aktiv halten
-
-Hier sind einige Tipps und Erfahrungen von Menschen aus Italien zur Inspiration:
-
-## Vergessen Sie nicht, zu tanzen!
-
-Sich nicht zu bewegen ist für jeden tödlich, besonders für Kinder. In der Zwangsquarantäne ist es sinnvoll, eine Tageszeit zu definieren, in der man sich der körperlichen Aktivität widmet – jede und jeder entsprechend ihrer oder seiner körperlichen Fähigkeiten. Wenn Sie das Haus nicht verlassen können, drehen Sie einfach die Musik auf und tanzen Sie bis zur Erschöpfung!
-
-## Nehmen Sie Ihre eigenen Audiogeschichten auf und teilen Sie sie mit Freund_innen, Familien und Bekannten
-
-Lesen Sie Kindergeschichten laut, deutlich und langsam vor, und nehmen Sie sie auf – etwa mit Ihrem Smartphone! Senden Sie die Audiodatei per Email an andere, und laden Sie weitere Personen ein, dies ebenfalls zu tun. Um die Geschichten zu verbreiten, können Sie auch einen Kanal auf Telegram öffnen, auf den Sie Ihre Geschichten hochladen (zwei Geschichten pro Tag mehr als genug!). Oder Sie teilen die Geschichten in den verschiedenen Chats, die Sie führen. Hier ist ein [Beispiel](https://t.me/storiealtelefono) für einen italienischen Telegram-Kanal, der vor kurzem eröffnet wurde.
-
-## Produzieren sie mit Kindern, und verwenden Sie Inhalte, die *von Kindern* für Kinder gemacht wurden
-
-Es ist für niemanden leicht, zu verstehen, was geschieht, geschweige denn für Kinder, die sich nicht darüber im Klaren sind, was ein Virus ist und wie er funktioniert. Aus diesem Grund können sie die derzeitigen Einschränkungen nur als unverständlich empfinden. Deshalb sind das Gespräch mit den Kleinen und der gemeinschaftliche (auch kreative) Umgang mit der Situation wichtig. Sie können dazu führen, dass aus der Krisensituation neue Sichtweisen und neue Inhalte entstehen. Einen Teil dieser Inhalte gemeinsam mit den Kindern zu produzieren (Tonaufnahmen, Videos, Zeichnungen, Schriften...) oder ihnen Dinge zu zeigen, ist eine Möglichkeit, das Geschehen ohne Sprachbarrieren zu teilen. Außerdem dient es dazu, die Angst vor dem Unbekannten zu überwinden.
-
-Dieses [Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttfyyQGdZFg) (auf ITA) ist ein nützliches Beispiel.
-Dies ist der italienische Radiosender ["In diretta per le amiche"](http://www.shareradio.it/diretta-le-amiche-gli-amici-quarta/), der von Kindern gemacht wird. Als deutschsprachige Beispiele können bspw. die [Sendung mit der Maus](https://www.wdrmaus.de/) oder der [Kinderkanal/KiKa](https://www.kika.de/index.html) dienen - beide Angebote vereinen eine Vielzahl von interaktiven Formaten inkl. kindgerechten Videos, Spielen, etc..
-
-Es gibt auch Leitfäden zur Epidemie, die sich an Kinder richten, wie z.B. [Guida Galattica al Coronavirus / A Curious Guide for Corageous Kids](https://www.muba.it/files/uploads/2020/03/10/guida-galattica-al-corona-virus-a-curious-guide-for-courageous-kids.pdf) (auf ENG und ITA) oder [Hallo, ich heisse K'orona](https://www.augsburger-allgemeine.de/media/57076596--984/JenniferBahro_Bilderbuch%20Korona.pdf) (auf DE). Im Netz gibt es noch viele weitere "selbstgemachte" Materialien, mit denen man eine lustige und nutzbringende Zeit miteinander verbringen kann. Mit dem Smartphone kann man leicht auf sie zugreifen.
-
-Falls deine Kinder Animationsfilme mögen, können sie sich auf [EXPERIMENT 120 eine YouTube-Wiedergabeliste](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKQRV4XKZt4&list=PLXnmdJHep6dS8H1BtTNHjgCm6KUz2L1Q1) mit Experimentalfilmen ansehen. Die Auswahl wurde vom [Studio Walter](https://www.instagram.com/mariepierrebonniol/) zusammengestellt. EXPERIMENT 120 präsentiert "Experimentelles aus 120 Jahren Filmgeschichte für Kinder und Jugendliche. 22 Filme, von denen die meisten sehr kurz sind (zwischen 1 und 4 Minuten). Sie können von Kindern ab 7 Jahren angesehen und verstanden werden – egal welche Sprache sie sprechen". Falls deine Kinder selber Animationsfilme machen möchten, können sie diesem von Cool Marbles Stuff erstellten [Instagram-Tutorial folgen](https://www.instagram.com/tv/B-K2MG7FyuS).

-# Die Kinderbetreuung kollektivieren
-
-In dieser Notlage sind viele Familien mit enormen finanziellen und arbeitsbedingten Schwierigkeiten konfrontiert. In einigen Fällen verlieren Eltern ihre Arbeit oder haben mit monatelangem Lohnausfall zu rechnen, in anderen Fällen sind sie dazu gezwungen, trotz der Schließung von Schulen zur Arbeit zu gehen. Es ist zu vermeiden, die Kinder bei den Großeltern zu lassen, da das Alter und die gesundheitlichen Rahmenbedingungen einer der Hauptgründe für die Sterblichkeit im Falle einer Coronavirus-Infektion sind. Deshalb ist es besser, die Kinderbetreuung anders zu organisieren:
-
-a. Koordinieren Sie sich mit anderen Familien aus der Nachbarschaft, um die Kinder gemeinsam zu betreuen (am besten wäre eine feste, geschlossene Gruppe).
-b. Organisieren Sie einen Babysitting-Dienst in der Nachbarschaft. Suchen sie dafür Personen, die sich zum gemeinsamen Spielen zur Verfügung stellen (prüfen Sie auch, ob in Ihrer Gegend eine Solidaritätsgruppe aktiv ist).
-
-Hier ist ein Mailänder [Beispiel](hhttps://www.facebook.com/Ri.make1/photos/a.1461860884067343/2433143390272416/?type=3&theater): eine einfache, gemeinsam genutzte Tabellenkalkulation, wie eine Kinderbetreuung durch die Koordination zwischen Menschen, die Hilfe benötigen und solchen, die Zeit zur Verfügung haben. Eine solche Gruppe kann auch mit Unterstützung eines Anwalts eingerichtet werden, um mit eventuellen Bewegungseinschränkungen gewandt umgehen zu können.
-
-
-# Geben Sie das Sozialleben Ihrer Kinder nicht auf!
-
-Auch Kinder können Technologien nutzen. In der Isolation ermöglichen Tools wie [jitsi.org](https://www.jitsi.org) die Organisation kollektiver Videoanrufe, an denen auch Kinder teilnehmen können. Organisieren Sie virtuelle Picknicks mit anderen Familien und Chats unter Kindern. Während die Kinder sich gegenseitig stören, machen Sie etwas anderes. Respektieren Sie ihre Privatsphäre!
-
-# Hausaufgaben
-
-Für Kinder in der Vorschul- und Grundschulgruppe wird vorgeschlagen, gemeinsam mit ihnen eine bestimmte Tageszeit festzulegen, in der sie ihre Hausaufgaben machen können – sie sollen sie nicht allein machen müssen und sollten nicht übermässig belastet werden. Es ist besser, wenn sie aus eigenem Willen ein zusätzliches Buch lesen!
-
-Für Jugendliche ist die Lage komplexer, weil sie verschiedene Arten von Online-Lektionen nutzen können. Auch hier gilt der Ratschlag, angesichts der Komplexität der Situation, die emotionale Belastung, unter der die Schülerinnen und Schüler stehen, zu berücksichtigen und nicht nur auf ihre Leistung und Produktivität zu schauen.

-## Prekäre Arbeitsverhältnisse, Kündigungen und fehlende finanzielle Sicherheit
-
-Das Absagen von öffentlichen Veranstaltungen, die Schließung von Bildungs-, Kultur-, und Freizeitseinrichtungen, Maßnahmen zum Social Distancing und der Isolation und Quarantäne zuhause und die Verlangsamung der Wirtschaft führen zu einer Zunahme der Arbeitslosigkeit. Arbeitnehmer_innen werden mit einer Situation konfrontiert, in der sie plötzlich nicht mehr in der Lage sind, Miete, Unterhalt und medizienische Kosten zu begleichen. Die ersten Betroffenen sind Arbeitende in prekären Arbeitsverhältnissen: Menschen in Zeitarbeit, auf Nullstundenverträgen, in Bereitschaft, und freischaffende Selbstständige. In den meisten dieser Kategorien von Arbeitnehmenden befinden sich hauptsächlich Frauen sowie Menschen mit Migrationshintergrund. Besonders betroffen von den momentanen Bedingungen sind auch Eltern, da sie ihre Kinder nicht in den Kindergarten, die Kindertagesstätte oder in die Schule schicken können. Hart trifft es ausserdem auch Menschen, die ältere Mitbürgerinnen und Mitbürger oder Menschen mit Behinderung pflegen und daher nicht zur Arbeit gehen können. Während die Pandemie sich weiter ausbreitet, werden Arbeitgebende zunehmend Arbeitnehmende entlassen, was dazu führt, dass die Zahl derjenigen steigen wird, die sich in einer prekären Lebenslage wiederfinden. Zudem werden Menschen in prekären Arbeitsverhältnissen, die zur COVID-19-Risikogruppe gehören, weiterhin unter ungeschützten und mit Risiken behafteten Bedingungen arbeiten müssen: entweder weil sie es sich nicht leisten können, nicht arbeiten zu gehen, oder weil sie von Arbeitgeber_innen nachwievor dazu gezwungen werden, an ihrem Arbeitsplatz zu erscheinen.
-
-Diese Situation erfordert eine Reihe temporärer Maßnahmen: etwa die Ausweiterung des Arbeitsunfähigkeits- und Krankengeldes für die arbeitnehmende Bevölkerung; die Aussetzung der Arbeitsanforderungen für die Gewährung von Sozialleistungen; einen Ausbau der Sozialleistungen; die Aussetzung von Miet- und Hypothekenzahlungen und Zuschüsse für Lebensunterhaltskosten. So manche Regierung hat keine andere Wahl, als diese Maßnahmen temporär umzusetzen. Jedoch muss auch deutlich gemacht werden, dass die aktuelle Unterversorgung zum Großteil die direkte Konsequenz einer langjährigen Prekarisierung der Arbeitnehmenden ist. Diese drückt sich unter anderem in einem kontinuierlichen Abbau des sozialen Arbeitnehmerschutzes, der Privatisierung des Sozialfürsorgeangebots und der systematischen Entwertung der Pflegearbeit aus. Daher müssen auf lange Sicht - während und nach der Pandemie - weitreichende und systemische Forderungen gestellt werden: etwa nach der Abschaffung prekärer Arbeitsverhältnisse, der Einführung einer Arbeitsgarantie, dem Ausbau des Gesundheitssystems und der Sozialleistungen für alle, sowie nach einer besseren Entlohung von Pflegearbeit. Radikaler formulierte Anliegen sind die Einführung eines universellen Grundeinkommens (Universal Basic Income) und eines universellen Grundvermögens (Universal Basic Assets); die Neustrukturierung der Ziele des Wirtschaftssystems und der Arbeitsteilung. Denn spätestens jetzt wird deutlich, dass das neoliberal verankerte und untermauerte Vertrauen auf die "Regulierungskraft des freien Marktes" in der Zeit nach der Pandemie keine Gültigkeit mehr haben wird.
-
-Abgesehen von diesen in die Zukunft gerichteten Überlegungen muss auch im Hier und Jetzt gehandelt werden. Momentan finden sich viele Menschen ohne Geld und Einkommen und sind daher auf die Unterstützung von Freund_innen und Bekannten, Familie oder partnerschaflichen Mutualismus (vorteilhafte Kooperation oder gegenseitige Hilfe ohne Ausnutzen des anderen) angewiesen, um es durch die Zeit der Pandemie zu schaffen. Hier sind einige Ideen zur Umverteilung und Milderung der Notlage, die auch das Potenzial haben, eine Grundlage für weitergehende Unterstützungsnetzwerke und eine kollaboratives Wirtschaftsmodell zu legen:
-
-
-## Ideen zur gegenseitigen Unterstützung
----
-Geld: Solidaritätskassen
----
-Du kannst innerhalb deiner Gemeinschaft (politisch, Nachbarschaft, Haushalt, Freundschaftsgruppe, oder in der Familie) eine Gemeinschaftskasse für die gegenseitige Unterstützung einrichten. Die Kasse kann mittels einer Tabelle organisiert werden, die drei Spalten hat: 1) Liste mit Teilnehmenden 2) Einzahlung pro Woche 3) ausgezahlte Summe pro Person. Die Prinzipien der Redistribution sollten im Voraus geklärt werden. Für die Verteilung der Gelder gibt es verschiedene Möglichkeiten: entweder sammelt eine Person Einzahlungen ein und teilt sie, man eröffnet ein gemeinsames Konto oder ein [Common Wallet](https://vimeo.com/295537042) oder gründet eine Solidaritätskasse, um das Einkommen zu kollektivieren.
-
----
-Resourcen: Einkäufe und Produkte teilen
----
-Das selbe Prinzip funktioniert auch mit Einkäufen. Eröffne eine Arbeitsblatt mit zwei Tabellen: die erste Tabelle für eine Liste der Teilnehmenden und der wöchentlichen Einzahlung, die zweite Tabelle enthält eine Liste des Bedarfs und der Preise. Das Konto sollte immer ausgeglichen sein. Kauft gemeinsam ein und verteilt die Waren nach Bedarf.
-
-Man kann auch nichtverzehrbare Produkte teilen, wie etwa Werkzeug oder Fahrzeuge. Hierzu kann eine Leihdatenbank erstellt werden in dem eine Tabelle mit Spalten für den Gegenstand, dem Eigentümer und dem Ausleiher erstellt und zugänglich gemacht wird. Um das Teilen tragfähig zu gestalten sollten im Vorraus Regeln etabliert werden, wie das Materialien sauber und pünktlich zurück gebracht werden, das die ausleihende Partei weiss, wie der Gegenstand zu benutzen ist und das alle Schäden umgehend mitgeteilt werden.
-
-Quelle: [Five Simple Rules](https://intercom.help/library-of-things/en/articles/2792457-the-five-simple-rules-of-borrowing)
-
-Wenn möglich, kaufe Lebensmittel von lokalen Händlern. Arrangiere eine wöchentliche Abholung von Kisten mit gemischtem Obst, Gemüse und anderer Produkte. Das Ziel ist Geld so lange wie möglich in der Gemeinschaft zu zirkulieren.
-
----
-Arbeitskraft: Common.coin
----
-Da insbesondere prekäre Arbeitnehmer gerade besonders wenig Geld haben kann eine art interner Arbeitsmarkt in der Gemeinschaft erstellt werden, in dem Arbeit und Jobs getauscht werden können.
-
-Das kann durch ein verteiltes Kontenbuchsystem (Blockchain) organisiert werden wie es das MACAO Kulturzentrum in Mainland zusammen mit Dune.org und einigen weiteren Gemeinschaften zur Kollektivierung der Wirtschaft und Arbeitskraft entwickelt hat. Um ein System zur Arbeitsteilung in deiner Gemeinschaft zu gründne kannst du ein Coomon.coin Konto mit Hilfe von [diesem Tutorial](https://commonfare.net/it/stories/commoncoin-wallet-tutorial-31286f71-f28b-4f36-9739-4f7143f1bdb2) starten und eure eigene Währung [hier](https://commonfare.net/it/stories/group-currency-tutorial) erstellen. Für technische Hilfe kannst du mit [dyne.org](https://swapi.dyne.org) in Kontakt treten.
-
----
-Arbeitskraft: Zeitbank
----
-Zeitbanken, oder [Timebanks](https://timebanks.org/what-is-timebanking/), sind Finanzsysteme in denen die Währung aus Zeit besteht, die benötigt wird, um Dienste für andere Mitglieder der Gemeinschaft zu erfüllen. Für jeden Dienst der angeboten wird, stimmt ein anderes Mitglied einem Zeitkredit zu, der benötigt wird um den Dienst zu erfüllen. Zeitbanken können von kleineren und größeren Gemeinschaften organisiert werden um um deren Mitgliedern bei der Verteilung von Arbeitsdiensten im kollektivem Bedarf zu helfen. Es gibt hierzu [viele einfache Softwares](https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Timebanking_Software_Platforms), die bei der Einführung von Zeitbankenprinzipien helfen.
-
----
-Öffnen eines juristischen und gewerkschaftlichen Beratungshotline
----
-Öffne eine Beratungshotline für Juristen und Gewerkschafter_innen, um Arbeitnehmenden (prekär oder festangestellt) Rat in Sachen Arbeitsrecht (z.B. wie man vermeiden kann risikoreiche Arbeiten durchzuführen oder generell Situationen in denen Arbeitgeber die Kosten der Krise den Arbeitnehmern zuschieben) zu geben. [Hier](https://jacobinitalia.it/reddito-e-solidarieta-la-crisi-sanitaria-non-sia-pagata-da-chi-non-lavora/) ist eine gute Übersicht zu arbeitsrechtlichen Problemen auf italienisch.

-Relativ häufige Unterstützungsmaßnahmen während der COVID-19-Krise sind etwa das Einfrieren von Hypotheken und die Blockierung von Zwangsräumungen. Für Mieter_innen gibt es oft keinen genügenden Schutz. Vor allem für Menschen, die ihre Einkommensquelle verloren haben, können die Mietkosten nicht mehr tragen. Am ersten April 2020 hat ein allgemeiner und unbefristeter Streik begonnen, zu dem Basisorganisationen und Mieter_innengewerkschaften in verschiedenen Ländern aufgerufen haben. An diesem Mietstreik beteiligen sich sowohl jene, die nicht mehr für ihre Miete aufkommen können, als auch jene, die sich – über die Pandemie-Krise hinaus – mit den Schwächsten der Gesellschaft solidarisieren.
-Der Aufruf zu einem Mietstreik ging von zwei sehr unterschiedlichen Orten aus: den Kanarischen Inseln und der Westküste der USA. Auf den Kanaren wurde er von einer Gewerkschaft ausgerufen, die bei der Besetzung spanischer Plätze im Rahmen der Anti-Austeritäts-Bewegung 2011 gegründet wurde. Seit damals setzt sie sich gemeinsam mit den Mieter_innen der ärmsten Viertel der Stadt Las Palmas gegen deren Vertreibung ein.

-"Da 59% der Amerikaner_innen von Gehaltsscheck zu Gehaltsscheck leben und da so viele Menschen zur Zeit in häuslicher Isolation leben, ist es offensichtlich, dass viele für einige Zeit nicht in der Lage sein werden, ihre Mieten oder Hypotheken zu bezahlen. Zwar haben viele Staaten 90-tägige Räumungsmoratorien und Bleiberecht für Hypothekengläubiger verabschiedet, doch gibt es immer noch wenig Schutz für private Mieter_innen (während führende Einzelhändler schon seit längere, angekündigt haben, dass sie keine Miete mehr zahlen werden). Sicherlich werden einige in der Lage sein, die Dinge mit mitfühlenden Vermietern zu regeln, aber viele werden sich zusammenschließen müssen, um Widerstand üben zu können.

Aufgrund der allgemeinen Kriminalisierung der Sexarbeit gehören Sexarbeitende zu der Gruppe von Menschen, die am stärksten von der Pandemie betroffen sind. Die meisten der #sexworkers haben keinen Zugang zu den Sozialleistungs-Paketen, die von den Regierungen als Notfallmaßnahmen gesprochen wurden. Für sie beginnt nun eine Zeit der Verzweiflung und Angst: Viele Sexarbeitende – einige von ihnen jung, meist Frauen und Transsexuelle – sind Migrant_innen. Sie sind allein und ohne ein familiäres Netzwerk, auf das sie sich verlassen können; viele der Frauen sind Mütter, die mit ihrer Arbeit die Familie ernähren.
-In diesen Wochen und in der Zeit danach wird die #Notlage viele Sexarbeitende an den Rand des Abgrunds, zu immer gravierenderen Zuständen von Not und Armut, bringen. Menschen, die sich in freier, einvernehmlicher oder erzwungener Form prostituieren, befinden sich bereits jetzt in einer Position erhöhter menschlicher und sozialer Verwundbarkeit. Jetzt sind sie dem Risiko ausgesetzt, in extreme Armut zu geraten. Einige von ihnen sind gezwungen, ihre Arbeit aus schierer Not wieder aufzunehmen, wobei sie die epidemiologischen Maßnahmen missachten, sich der Strafverfolgung aussetzen, ihre eigene und die allgemeine Gesundheit riskieren.
-Aus diesen Gründen organisieren sich in vielen Ländern Gruppen, Verbände und Gewerkschaften zur Unterstützung der Sexarbeitenden. Neben der Verteilung von Lebensmitteln und Medikamenten haben verschiedene Initiativen gemeinschaftliche Hilfs- und Spendenfonds eröffnet, um die Sexarbeitende finanziell zu unterstützen.

-„Die Krise und das damit verbundene Arbeitsverbot treffen Sexarbeitende hart. Wegen fehlenden Einkünften und dem Verlust des Arbeits- und teils Wohnortes droht vielen Armut, Obdachlosigkeit oder Abhängigkeit. Viele fallen komplett durch das staatliche Unterstützungsnetzwerk und sind auf sich allein gestellt. Sie befinden sich in einer prekären Lage und brauchen jetzt Hilfe. Prokore, FIZ und Xenia richten darum einen schweizweiten Notfonds für Obdach, Lebensmittel und medizinische Betreuung ein. Die Beratungstellen des Prokore-Netzwerks werden dann die Nothilfe an Sexarbeiter_innen verteilen.“

Deshalb haben wir den BesD Nothilfe Fonds ins Leben gerufen. Aktuell liegt unser Schwerpunkt darin, gemeinsam die Auswirkungen der Corona-Krise auf Sexarbeitende zu bekämpfen. Mit der deutschlandweiten Schließung aller Prostitutionsstätten, der Verschärfung von Arbeitsverboten, dem Rückgang der Nachfrage, sowie dem steigenden Risiko der Arbeitsausübung, kämpfen jetzt die Ärmsten der Armen um ihr Überleben. Sämtliche Spenden gehen an Sexarbeitende in Notsituationen.“

-# Reflektionen der Kooperative Birmingham (GB) [^1]
-
-# Covid-19, eine "nicht-so-natürliche" Katastrophe
-
-Die globale Covid-19-Pandemie wird von den Regierungen bekämpft und in den Medien mitunter auch als Naturkatastrophe dargestellt. Und in gewisser Weise haben sie Recht: Wie Wissenschaftler_innen vorhersagten, hat der rasche Wandel der klimatischen Bedingungen ein günstiges Umfeld für die Ausbreitung des Virus geschaffen. Aber auch andere Faktoren haben zur Krankheit, ihrer Übertragung und zur relativ hohen Sterblichkeitsrate beigetragen: Der globale Kapitalismus und die damit einhergehende hektische Bewegung von Menschen und Gütern; der endemische Mangel an Finanzierung der öffentlichen Gesundheitssysteme in vielen Ländern (oder schlichtweg deren Privatisierung); die kulturelle Neigung zu häufigen sozialen Kontakten; der fehlende Zugang zu grundlegenden Gütern wie gesunden Lebensmitteln oder sauberem Wasser und Luft. Kritische Geograph_innen entdeckten bereits vor Jahrzehnten, dass Naturkatastrophen nicht rein naturbedingt, sondern zu einem großen Teil sozial konstruiert sind. Oder wie es Neil Smith in seinem Bericht über den Hurrikan Katrina ausdrückt - Naturkatastrophen verursachen nicht nur wahllose Zerstörung, "sondern vertiefen und untergraben auch die Furchen der sozialen Unterschiede, auf die sie treffen". [^2]
-
-# Durch Katastrophen zur Solidarität
-
-Es gibt jedoch eine hoffnungsvollere Seite von Naturkatastrophen, die sich über zeitliche und geografische Skalen hinweg zu reproduzieren scheint: die Solidarität und Zusammenarbeit gewisser Teile der Bevölkerung. In Extremsituationen, in denen die soziale Ordnung vorübergehend gestört ist, neigen Menschen dazu, sich gemeinsam zu organisieren, um ihre Grundbedürfnisse zu befriedigen und ihr kollektives Überleben zu sichern.[^3] Auch wenn in allen Hilfsangeboten ein guter Wille steckt, beweist die aktuelle Situation, dass guter Wille allein nicht ausreicht. Ein offensichtlicher Mangel an Erfahrung mit politischer Partizipation und strukturierter Organisation beim Großteil der Bevölkerung verringert in Grossbritannien den Effekt gemeinschaftlicher Hilfeleistungen.
-
-Nehmen wir als Beispiel die Facebook- oder WhatsApp-Gruppen, die geschaffen wurden, um die Bewohner_innen einer Straße oder eines städtischen Gebiets miteinander zu verbinden. Obwohl sie nützlich sein könnten, um einigen Menschen in Selbstisolierung den Zugang zu grundlegenden Gütern zu erleichtern, ist die Reichweite dieser Gruppen sehr begrenzt. Die Art von Solidarität, die in ihrem Rahmen gelebt wird, ist ausschließlich lokal, die Koordination zwischen den einzelnen Netzwerken ist mangelhaft. Darüber hinaus machen es Faktoren wie der ungleiche Zugang zu und die mangelnde Fähigkeit in der Nutzung von Technologie für einige schwierig oder unmöglich sich aktiv zu beteiligen. Letztlich neigen diese Gruppen dazu, von einigen wenigen Bewohner_innen übernommen zu werden, die die Interaktionen dominieren und/oder über die Reichweite der Gruppe - und damit auch ihre potentielle Wirksamkeit – bestimmen.
-
-
-
-# Wie eine Solidaritätsküche organisiert wird
-
-Im Bewusstsein der vorhergehend beschriebenen Dynamiken und der Tatsache, dass Struktur und Zweck Schlüsselfaktoren für gegenseitige Hilfsbemühungen sind, hat die Kooperative Birmingham kürzlich mehrere Basisorganisationen und Arbeitnehmerkooperativen zusammengeführt, um eine Solidaritätsküche zu gründen. Finanziert mit Spenden, die über eine Online-Plattform [^4] gesammelt wurden, bieten wir Menschen in Selbstisolation in Birmingham warme Mahlzeiten an. Wir stellen keine Fragen, wir nehmen kein Geld, wir praktizieren Solidarität ohne Bedingungen.
-
-
-## Sicherung des Zugangs zu einer professionellen Küche
-
-Zwei infrastrukturelle Dimensionen sind für die Organisation der Solidaritätsküche der Kooperative Birmingham von grundlegender Bedeutung: die physische und die politische Infrastruktur. So selbstverständlich es auch klingen mag: Um gekochte Mahlzeiten anbieten zu können, braucht man eine Küche. Und je grösser und besser ausgestattet sie ist, desto mehr Mahlzeiten kann man anbieten. Der Schlüssel zum Erfolg des Projekts ist daher die Beteiligung des Warehouse Cafe, das als Arbeiterkooperative und Basis für mehrere linke und Umweltorganisationen organisiert ist. Durch die vorübergehende Schließung des Betriebs bei Ausbruch der Pandemie haben wir Zugang zu einer professionellen Küche erhalten.
-
-## Soziale Maßnahmen fördern die Solidarität
-
-Auch viele der Arbeiter_innen des Cafés (einschließlich der Köch_innen), die derzeit beurlaubt sind, tragen mit ihrer Arbeit zu dem Projekt bei. Ausserdem unterstützen uns über 40 Freiwillige regelmäßig, indem sie Essen kochen, die Küche reinigen, Mahlzeiten ausliefern und im *back office* arbeiten. Diese ständig wachsende Gruppe setzt sich zu einem Grossteil aus Personen zusammen, die in der gegenwärtigen Situation nicht in der Lage sind, Lohnarbeit zu verrichten. Diese Tatsache zeigt, wie wichtig es ist, soziale Maßnahmen zu ergreifen, die auf die Deckung der Grundbedürfnisse von Arbeiter_innen ausgerichtet sind: Sie fördern die Solidarität und die gegenseitige Hilfe und haben eine Wirkung, die über das wirtschaftliche Kalkül hinausgeht.
-
-## Organisieren - horizontal, praktisch und offen
-
-Was die politischen Infrastrukturen betrifft, ist die Organisationserfahrung der meisten unserer Mitglieder der Schlüssel für den Erfolg des Projekts. Wir arbeiten auf einer idealerweise horizontalen, aber faktisch geschichteten Struktur der Entscheidungsfindung. Entscheidungen werden durch eine Mischung aus Konsens und Dringlichkeit gefällt. Die wichtigsten Entscheidungen werden in offenen Online-Sitzungen getroffen, die in der Regel dreimal pro Woche stattfinden. Für kleinere Fragen im Zusammenhang mit der täglichen Arbeit haben wir Arbeitsgruppen gebildet, die ein gewisses Maß an Autonomie haben und denen spezifische Aufgaben zugewiesen werden. Die Auswertung und Diskussion der Arbeitsvorgänge in den offenen Sitzungen ermöglicht es allen Mitgliedern, einerseits über die allgemeine Ausrichtung des Projekts, andererseits aber auch über spezifische praktische Fragen nachzudenken.
-
-Die fließende Interaktion zwischen den offenen Sitzungen und den Arbeitsgruppen vermeidet eine Machtkumulierung und stellt sicher, dass die politische Ausrichtung des Projekts auf dem richtigen Weg bleibt. Es ist wichtig anzuerkennen, dass alle unsere politischen Infrastrukturen offen sind, und wir ermutigen sowohl die freiwilligen Helfer_innen als auch die Benutzer_innen der Küche, sich einer Arbeitsgruppe anzuschließen und an den offenen Sitzungen teilzunehmen.
-
-## Kommunikation
-
-Entscheidend für das reibungslose Funktionieren unserer politischen Infrastrukturen ist die Technologie. Wir unterhalten ein offenes Online-Forum[^5], in dem jede und jeder, der an einer Teilnahme an der Solidaritätsküche interessiert oder einfach nur neugierig darauf ist, einen Blick auf die Form unserer politischen Struktur werfen, einer Arbeitsgruppe beitreten und die Sitzungsprotokolle lesen kann. Wir nutzen auch soziale Medien: um Transparenz zu gewährleisten, um neue Nutzer_innen zu erreichen und um Freiwillige anzuwerben. Und natürlich stellen Instant-Messaging-Anwendungen eine dringend benötigte Brücke zwischen der politischen und der physischen Infrastruktur dar.
-
-
-# Stadträte, die soziale Dienste auf die Allgemeinheit auslagern
-
-Unsere Solidaritätsküche funktioniert natürlich nicht immer perfekt, und wir versuchen, aus unseren Fehlern zu lernen und Lücken zu füllen. Es war schwierig, mit einer enormen Arbeitsbelastung über mehrere Ebenen der Beteiligung fertigzuwerden. Einige Organisator_innen standen bald vor einem Burnout. Der Stadtrat von Birmingham hat uns in eine sehr schwierige Situation gebracht, denn er weist jegliche Verantwortung von sich und überlässt es den Bürger_innen, mit der Krise umzugehen. Anstatt eine Hilfsaktion von ausreichendem Umfang durchzuführen, die den größten Teil der gefährdeten Bevölkerung in Birmingham erreichen würde, hat der Stadtrat die Menschen auf kommunale Bemühungen wie die unsere verwiesen. Bereits am zweiten Betriebstag der Solidaritätsküche, begann der Stadtrat damit, Anfragen direkt an uns weiterzuleiten. Dies bedeutete einen Anstieg der Versorgungsanfragen um über 500% – quasi über Nacht. Gleichzeitig erhielten wir einen Anruf eines Mitarbeiters der Stadtverwaltung, der uns Unterstützung für unsere Solidaritätsküche anbot. Doch unsere Aufgabe ist das Füllen von Lücken, nicht das Übernehmen von Aufgaben. Mittlerweile mussten wir die Nahrungsmittellieferungen auf etwa 100 tägliche Mahlzeiten begrenzen, und wir versuchen, neue Mitglieder einzubeziehen und Freiwillige zu rekrutieren, um die Nachhaltigkeit des Projekts und eine kontrollierte Ausweitung zu gewährleisten. In dieser Situation sind wir mit einer Verantwortung überfordert, die nicht auf uns fallen sollte und die in keinem Verhältnis zu unserer Kapazität steht, was sich auf unser physisches und emotionales Wohlbefinden auswirkt.
-
-# Eine Perspektive jenseits der gegenwärtigen Krise
-
-Zugleich aber macht diese systemische Externalisierung sozialer Dienstleistungen auf die Bewohner_innen einer Stadt die Existenz politisierter gegenseitiger Hilfsprojekte wichtiger denn je. Denn es geht uns nicht nur darum, auf die aktuelle Krise zu reagieren, sondern wir müssen darüber hinausblicken. Was nach dem unmittelbaren Gesundheitsnotstand auf uns wartet, ist eine Wirtschaftskrise von beispiellosem Ausmaß, die das kapitalistische System, wie wir es kennen, verändern wird. Sozioökonomische Rekonfigurationen, die auf Katastrophen und Krisen folgen, bieten den Eliten traditionell "eine Gelegenheit, ihre Macht zurückzuerobern und sogar zu vermehren".[^6] Dennoch stellt die Situation auch für uns eine Chance dar, die wir versuchen sollten, zu nutzen. Wir brauchen kollektive Unterstützungsorganisationen wie die Cooperation Birmingham, um zu starken alternativen Institutionen werden zu können. Nur so lässt sich die Macht der politischen Eliten unter der Arbeiterklasse umverteilen. Wir müssen eine wichtige Rolle bei der Ausarbeitung der neuen Regeln der kommenden Welt spielen. Eine Welt, die von der schlimmsten Wirtschaftskrise unserer Zeit und vom Klimawandel bestimmt wird, eine unsichere Welt, in der das ausgeklügelte System der sozialen Ordnung zu zerbrechen beginnt.[^7] Eine Welt der Hoffnung.

-Die Politik von und hinter Technologien wird in einer Zeit wie dieser viel offensichtlicher. Da wir es etwa vermeiden, in Läden einkaufen zu gehen und direkten menschlichen Kontakt zu haben, findet eine Verlagerung zur digitalen Kommunikation, zu Plattforminfrastrukturen und automatisierten Prozessen statt. Diese wird zwangsläufig langfristige Auswirkungen auf das technologische Ökosystem und noch größere Auswirkungen auf die Arbeit haben. Die immer wiederkehrenden technologiepolitischen Bedenken gegenüber Lock-ins, Netzneutralität, Datenüberwachung, die Frage des Besitzes von Daten – etwa die Forderung nach öffentlicher Eigentümer_innenschaft der Kommunikationsinfrastruktur – und die Kritik an der etablierten Macht technologischer Oligopole werden in dieser Situation erneut manifest. Und dies noch deutlicher als in Zeiten, in denen unsere digitalen Infrastrukturen reibungslos funktionieren.
-
-Diese Session enthält im Gegensatz zu den meisten anderen Sessions keine praktischen Tipps (es sei denn, du bist Ingenieur. Sie bildet ein Archiv mit relevanten Nachrichten, die helfen können, gemeinsame Debatten und Überlegungen darüber anzustellen, welche Forderungen wir gemeinsam für eine gerechtere technologiepolitische Zukunft stellen sollten.
-
-# Konnektivität
-
-Online-Videokonferenzen sind in den Vordergrund gerückt. Viele Management-Strategien rund um COVID-19 beinhalten die verstärkte Nutzung von VPNs und Online-Videochats, die auf eine digitale Infrastruktur angewiesen sind. Eine wachsende Zahl von Hochschulen verlagert den Unterricht auf Online-Plattformen. Doch nur wenige von uns sind sich der zusätzlichen Belastung, die der erhöhte Datenverkehr auf die Kapazität des Netzes und der einzelnen Anbieter ausübt, bewusst. Auch fragen sie sich selten, wie sich die Belastung auf diejenigen mit langsamerem oder eingeschränkterem Zugang auswirkt. In dieser Situation finden sich wichtige Online-Dienste, zum Beispiel Telefonkonferenzen zwischen Ärzten und Patienten, plötzlich im Kapazitäts-Wettbewerb mit weniger wichtigen Anwendungen und Spielen. In China etwa wurden mehrere grosse [Abstürze](https://www.abacusnews.com/culture/worlds-biggest-online-population-staying-home-and-chinas-internet-cant-cope/article/3050947) gemeldet.
-
-Die öffentliche Gesundheit und Sicherheit haben bei der Bewältigung des COVID-19-Ausbruchs oberste Priorität. Rechenzentren spielen hier eine wichtige Rolle, da sie unverzichtbare Technologie zur Unterstützung der Notfallkommunikation für öffentliche Einrichtungen, Notfalldienste und 911-Systeme bereitstellen. Auch große Krankenhäuser verlassen sich bei der Speicherung und Übertragung von Daten und Bildern auf Rechenzentren. Nur wenige sind sich bewusst, dass auch Rechenzentren unter einem enormen Druck stehen: Sie müssen weiterhin nahtlose Dienste anbieten und gleichzeitig ihr Personal schützen.

-
-Die Rolle der Konnektivität ist etwas, das kollektiv reflektiert und verhandelt werden möchte. Einen möglichen Einstieg dafür bietet Ian Alan Paul:
-
-> Es scheint, dass mindestens zwei neue Arten von Subjektivität bereits begonnen haben, Gestalt anzunehmen. Sie konstituieren sich gegenseitig, sind eng miteinander verbunden, und sie werden von den informatischen Infrastrukturen und Maschinerien geprägt, die heute einen Großteil unserer planetarischen Gesellschaft durchwirken und organisieren. Zum einen manifestiert sich das häusliche/verbundene Subjekt, das in seiner Beschränkung auf das Zuhause dazu gedrängt wird, neue Wege zu erfinden, um sich mit der virtualisierten Ökonomie zu verbinden und daran an ihr teilzunehmen. Zum anderen tritt das mobile/verfügbare Subjekt immer deutlicher hervor, das der Pandemie als Zirkulations-System dient. Es ist ein Subjekt, das immer verletzlicher und prekärer wird, da es gezwungen ist, sich mit immer größerer Geschwindigkeit zu bewegen. Damit das häusliche/verbundene Subjekt sich materiell versorgen kann, muss es sich mit dem mobilen/verfügbaren Subjekt verbinden, das die materiellen Mindestbedürfnisse der Gesellschaft erfüllt und gleichzeitig die soziale Möglichkeit eines isolierten aber vernetzten häuslichen Lebens gewährleistet.

-# Roboter, Künstliche Intelligenz (KI) und die Automatisierung des Gesundheitswesens
-
-Während der Unternehmenssektor die Vorteile digitaler Werkzeuge für das Gesundheitswesen betont, werden folgende Themen häufig vermieden: Die Überwachungs- und Datenerfassungs-Politik; den privaten Besitz von Schlüssel-Software und -werkzeugen, die für Krankenhäuser wichtig sind; den Verlust von Arbeitsplätzen im Pflegebereich und die Auswirkungen auf die Qualität der Pflege, wenn sie durch externe Dienste automatisiert und ferngesteuert wird.
-
-IN CHINA:
-Chinesische Technologieriesen beschleunigen im Zuge des Corona-Ausbruchs ihre Bemühungen im Bereich der Gesundheitstechnologie –von Cloud Computing bis hin zu künstlicher Intelligenz (KI). Riesenunternehmen wie Alibaba, Baidu, Tencent, Huawei und DiDi haben neue, gesundheitstechnische Features eingeführt – etwa in Hinblick auf die Diagnose des und das Finden eines Impfstoffes gegen das Coronavirus.

-
-Krankenhäuser in 10 chinesischen Provinzen vertrauen einem Roboter-Trio, um die Ausbreitung des Virus aufzuhalten: Ein Roboter wird zur Verteilung von Lebensmitteln eingesetzt, einer für die zur Desinfektion und vom dritten lässt man sich so führen, dass unnötiger menschlicher Kontakt vermieden werden kann.

-China hat sich zum weltweit größten und am schnellsten wachsenden Markt für Industrierobotik entwickelt. Das Land verzeichnet einen Anstieg um 21% auf 5,4 Milliarden Dollar im Jahr 2019, während der weltweite Umsatz laut der International Federation of Robotics in Frankfurt 16,5 Milliarden Dollar erreichte. In China gibt es mehr als 800 Roboterhersteller, darunter die großen Unternehmen SIASUN und DJI Innovations. China ist auf dem besten Weg, bis 2021 45 % aller Industrieroboterlieferungen zu tätigen, gegenüber 39 % im Jahr 2019. Ein Roboter, der in einer 24-Stunden-Schicht arbeiten kann, kann drei Arbeiter_innen ersetzen und kostet zwischen 43‘000 und 72‘000 Dollar. Da die Gehälter in China in den letzten Jahren jährlich um bis zu 20 % gestiegen sind, sieht der chinesische Unternehmensberater Bill Edwards einen unvermeidlichen Schub für die Robotertechnik voraus. "Die Löhne in China sind nicht mehr billig", stellte er fest.

-# Open Access
-
-Der offene Zugang zu wissenschaftlichen Forschungs-Erkenntnissen bleibt eine der zentralen Forderungen nach einer gerechten Gesundheitspolitik. Laboratorien auf der ganzen Welt konnten sich über die Genomsequenzen des neuen Coronavirus (hCoV-19) über GISAID austauschen. [GISAID](https://www.gisaid.org) ist eine Initiative, die den internationalen Austausch aller Sequenzen von Influenzaviren fördert, um Forscher_innen in ihrer Arbeit darüber wie sich die Viren entwickeln, verbreiten und möglicherweise zu Pandemien werden, zu unterstüzen. GISAID tut dies durch die Überwindung von Hindernissen oder Einschränkungen, die den Austausch von Influenzadaten vor der formellen Veröffentlichung erschweren oder verhindern: Die Initiative stellt sicher, dass der offene Zugang zu den Daten in GISAID kostenlos und für alle zugänglich ist. GISAID ist jedoch eine Ausnahme. Verbreitet werden medizinisch-wissenschaftliche Forschung und Daten als privatisierte Vermögenswerte aufbewahrt, aus denen Kapital geschlagen werden kann. 2015 waren liberianische Gesundheitsbeamte Mitverfasser einer Stellungnahme der New York Times, die bemängelte, dass zum Höhepunkt der Epidemie 2014 ein Grossteil der bestehenden kritischen Ebola-Forschung Wissenschaftler_innen und Mitarbeiter_innen des Gesundheitswesens unbekannt oder unzugänglich war.
-
-Um die bestehenden Paywalls zu umgehen, hat eine Gruppe von Online-Archivare_innen im Januar 2020 ein Open-Access-Verzeichnis mit über 5.000 wissenschaftlichen Studien über Coronaviren erstellt, das jeder durchsuchen und herunterladen kann. Das Herunterladen wurde über [Sci-Hub](https://www.sci-hub.tw/) ermöglicht, einer kostenlosen wissenschaftlichen Forschungs-Datenbank, die bisweilen "die Piratenbucht der Wissenschaft" genannt wird. Laut Sci-Hub besteht Zugang zu über 78 Millionen Forschungsartikeln: es werden HTML- und PDF-Seiten aus dem Internet heruntergeladen, wobei in einigen Fällen die Paywalls umgangen werden. Aus diesem Grund haben große wissenschaftliche Verlage - allen voran Elsevier - Sci-Hub wiederholt wegen Urheberrechtsverletzungen verklagt.

-# Die Reaktion der *maker scene*
-
-Angesichts des weltweiten Mangels an medizinischer Versorgung und Ausrüstung diskutieren und mobilisieren verschiedene Hersteller und FabLabs über mögliche Bereiche der Intervention. Sie machen erneut auf das politische Konfliktpotential zwischen autonomen Technologien und der Notwendigkeit von Vorschriften und Normen aufmerksam. Dieser Konflikt lässt sich nicht schnell und einfach auflösen, sondern erfordert einen umfassenden Diskurs und eine breite kollektive Reflexion.
-
-Eine Schlüsselszene aus Italien fand im Krankenhaus von Chiari (Brescia) statt, das sich innerhalb des Notfalls mit einem Notfall konfrontiert sah. Das medizinische Personal stellte fest, dass die für das Funktionieren eines Wiederbelebungsgerätes notwendigen Ventile ausgingen. Der Hersteller konnte aufgrund der hohen Nachfrage die notwendingen Ersatzteile nicht liefern. Eine örtliche 3D-Druckerei, die von einem Mailänder FabLab beauftragt wurde, wurde kontaktiert, und es war ihr in weniger als sechs Stunden möglich, eine Kopie des Ventils herzustellen. Der Hersteller droht nun jedoch mit einer Klage, und die Herstellung des Ventils könnte ohnehin auch zu rechtlichen Problemen führen, da es von den Gesundheitsbehörden nicht als sicher zertifiziert wurde. Die Italienische Republik könnte, wie viele andere auch, eine eventuelle Klage stoppen oder verhindern – sofern dies "im Interesse der militärischen Verteidigung des Landes oder aus anderen Gründen des öffentlichen Nutzens" geschieht. Und zwar mittels eines Gesetzes aus dem Jahr 2005 (LD 10. Februar 2005, Nr. 30, Art. 141), das die staatliche Enteignung registrierter oder patentierter gewerblicher Eigentumsrechte regelt, (über @Zoescope).

-# Das Problem mit der Online-Arbeit
-
-Da viele Aufgaben und Treffen nun online stattfinden (einschließlich – ganz entscheidend – der Lehrtätigkeit), braucht es dringend einen von den Arbeitnehmenden geführten Diskurs über die Nutzung und das Eigentum an Online-Plattformen. Die momentane Entwicklung birgt die Gefahr, das Terrain für eine Umstrukturierung der Arbeitsbedingungen vorzubereiten. Weitere Entlassungen könnten gerechtfertigt und die Überwachung der Arbeitnehmenden verstärkt werden. Wichtig ist, dass Fragen zur Eigentümerschaft an dieser technologischen Infrastruktur (heute meist im Besitz von Unternehmen, die über die Lizenzen und durch den Weiterverkauf der gesammelten Daten Gewinn erzielen) gestellt werden. Auch Fragen zur Privatsphäre, zu Opt-out-Optionen für die Nutzenden und Diskussionen über die Kontrolle über die generierten Inhalte (z. B. die Aufzeichnung von Vorlesungen, die dann als Ersatz für "richtige" Lehrpersonen weiter- und wiederverwendet werden können) sind wichtig.
-
-Wenn du einer Gewerkschaft angehörst oder wenn dein Arbeitsplatz Instrumente zur Auslagerung und Fernsteuerung von Arbeitsabläufen einführt, solltest du in Erwägung ziehen, diese Probleme anzusprechen und unter Umständen eine Untersuchung darüber einzuleiten, welche Instrumente wie eingesetzt werden.
-
-Im Folgenden denkt eine Lehperson über die Eilmassnahmen zur Verlagerung der gesamten Unterrichtstätigkeit nach online nach:
-
-> Für meine Kolleg_innen, die dazu angehalten werden, einen Teil oder den ganzen Rest des Semesters online abzuhalten, ist jetzt die Zeit gekommen, um einen schlechten Job zu machen. Sie bauen KEINE Online-Klasse auf. Sie unterrichten KEINE Studierenden (obwohl diese bereit sind, online zu lernen). Und – was am wichtigsten ist – ihre Klasse ist momentan NICHT die höchste Priorität in ihrem Leben. In diesem Sinne: Befreie dich jetzt von hohen Erwartungen, denn das ist der beste Weg, den Studierenden beim Lernen zu helfen. Wenn du gerade die Pädagogik des Online-Lernens anfängst zu entdecken oder merkst, dass es einige ziemlich großartige Werkzeuge gibt, um die Schüler online zu unterstützen, höre damit auf. Höre jetzt auf. Frag dich selbst: Ist mir das wirklich wichtig? – Wahrscheinlich nicht, sonst hättest du die Welt der Online-Pädagogik schon früher erforscht. Versuche ich bloss zu beweisen, dass ich ein/e Teamplayer_in bin? – Das bist du, und lassen dich in dieser Funktion nicht von deiner Universität ausnutzen. Oder versuche ich, mich angesichts einer Pandemie zu beruhigen, indem ich etwas tue, das ein normales Lebensgefühl vermittelt? – Falls dies der Fall ist, höre auf und setze deine Energie besser ein, z.B. indem du für Räumungssperren protestieren oder Säcke mit Lebensmitteln für Kinder einpacken, die keine Mahlzeiten bekommen, weil die öffentlichen Schulen schließen).

-# Reproduktive Gesundheit und reproduktive Rechte
-
-Während routinemäßige und nicht als dringend eingestufte Verfahren in den am stärksten von der Epidemie betroffenen Gebieten verschoben werden, wirkt sich der Ausnahmezustand der aktuellen Situation um COVID-19 negativ auf das Recht der Frau auf eine sichere Abtreibung aus. In den USA zum Beispiel fordern republikanische Gesetzgeber, dass jede neue Finanzierungzusage zur Bekämpfung von COVID-19 auch den Anti-Abtreibungs-Zusatz des umstrittenen [Hyde-Amendment](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyde_Amendment)s enthält.
-
-- **Quelle:** [House Republicans Tried to Capitalize on Coronavirus to Sneak Anti-Abortion Language Into Law](https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2020/03/house-republicans-tried-to-capitalize-on-coronavirus-to-sneak-anti-abortion-language-into-law/)
-
-Daher wird die Organisation von Netzwerken, die abbilden können, welche Krankenhäuser den Zugang zu Abtreibungen garantieren, zu einer echten Priorität. In Italien wurden vom Aktivist*innennetzwerk [Obiezione Respinta](https://obiezionerespinta.info) ein [Telegram Channel](https://t.me/aborto_emergenzaCOVID19) und eine 24-Stunden-Hotline (+39 3319634889) ins Leben gerufen, um einen täglich aktualisierten Kartierungsdienst sowie Informationen über Krankenhäuser und Apotheken zu bieten, die diese reproduktiven Rechte garantieren.
-Ein weiteres Beispiel ist diese von der Consultoria Autogestita Transiti in Mailand erstellten [Liste von Krankenhäusern](https://consultoriautogestita.wordpress.com/interruzione-di-gravidanza/), in denen es noch möglich ist, eine Abtreibung vorzunehmen.
-
-# Häusliche Gewalt
-
-Warnung: Für viele birgt der Aufruf zu #stayathome keineswegs eine beruhigende Vorstellung. Eine Zunahme häuslicher Gewalt in einer Zeit erzwungener Häuslichkeit - etwas, was man sich leicht vorstellen kann - war im ersten Epizentrum der Pandemie in China deutlich erkennbar... in einem Land, in dem die [Scheidungsrate](https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/world/2020/03/coronavirus-spike-in-divorces-as-fighting-couples-forced-into-isolation-report.html) aktuell stark zunimmt und der Hashtag [#AntiDomesticViolenceDuringEpidemic #疫期反家暴#](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-51705199) im letzten Monat über 3.000 Mal verwendet wurde.
-
-Seit neuestem können wir ähnliche Trends im zweiten Epizentrum, Italien, beobachten - einem Land, das selbst in weniger schwierigen Zeiten für seine hohe Zahl von Femiziden durch "diejenigen, die zuhause die Hosen anhaben", berüchtigt ist. In den letzten Tagen sind in den sozialen Medien erschreckende Videos über häusliche Gewalt in Umlauf gebracht worden. Es handelt sich um Videos, die wir hier nicht verlinken werden, sondern die von wachsamen feministischen Freiwilligen im Netz kartiert werden, um zu versuchen, die Ausbreitung dieser Fälle einzudämmen.
-
-Die bedeutendste Aktion zur Bekämpfung häuslicher Gewalt in diesen Zeiten erzwungener und anhaltender Nähe wurde vom Netzwerk italienischer Anti-Gewalt-Zentren [DiRE](https://www.dire.it/12-03-2020/432907-coronavirus-violenza-donne-veltri-d-i-re-chiamateci-noi-ci-siamo/) mit Unterstützung der nationalen transfeministischen Bewegung *Non Una Di Meno* [übersetzt in etwa "Nichtsdestotrotz"] ins Leben gerufen. Dieses Netzwerk hat bisher den regelmäßigen Betrieb nationaler und regionaler Hotlines für häusliche Gewalt sichergestellt.
-
-In diesem Zusammenhang wird immer deutlicher, dass gender violence / geschlechtsspezifische Gewalt ein strukturelles Problem ist, gegen das eine Perspektive der Systemtransformation aktiviert werden muss, wobei die Initiativen von der pädagogischen Prävention bis hin zu Maßnahmen am Arbeitsplatz reichen.

-# Carework / Betreuungsarbeit
-
-Die Arbeitnehmer, die während der Pandemie die größten Gesundheitsrisiken tragen, sind die Arbeitnehmer, die wesentliche [soziale Reproduktionsaufgaben](https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/03/15/business/economy/coronavirus-worker-risk.html) ausführen, wie z.B. Reinigungskräfte, Krankenschwestern, Hauspfleger oder Kassierer. Doch wie feministische Kritiken vielfach erklärten, sind diese Arbeitsplätze oft schlechter gestellt, was Gehalt, Härte, Prekarität und Sicherheitsbedingungen betrifft. Sie werden auch am häufigsten von Frauen und Migrantinnen ausgeübt.
-
-
-Die hier folgende Aussage eines anonymen Krankenhausreinigers aus Bergamo (eine der am stärksten von der Pandemie betroffenen Städte) wurde mehrfach in sozialen Medien verbreitet:
-
-> Wir sind die unsichtbare Arbeiterklasse. Wir sind diejenigen, die morgens um 5 Uhr aufstehen, aber niemand sieht uns. Die einzige Spur unserer Existenz ist die Reinigungtätigkeit, die wir erfüllen und die oft unbemerkt bleibt, da sie als selbstverständlich angesehen wird. Aber wir existieren, wir sind auch hier. Auch wir, die Mitarbeitende des Krankenhausreinigungsdienstes, tun alles, was wir können, um unsere Organisation in dieser Zeit so sicher wie möglich zu machen. Wir sind hier, obwohl niemand über uns spricht, trotz der Ängste, angesichts der Risiken, denen wir und unsere Familien ausgesetzt sind. Wir sind hier und wir arbeiten, auch wenn unser Tarifvertrag vor Jahren ausgelaufen ist und uns kaum nenneswerte, wirklich lächerliche Löhne beschert hat. Ja, wir arbeiten auch, unaufhörlich wie andere, für uns selbst und für die ganze Gemeinschaft.
-
-> We are the invisible workers. We are the ones who get up at 5am in the morning, but nobody sees us. The only trace of our existence is the cleaning we do, which often goes unnoticed, as it is taken for granted. But we exist, we are here too. We too, the workers of the hospital cleaning service, are doing everything we can to make our organization as safe as possible during this period. We are here, despite the fact that no one talks about us, despite the fears, given the risks that we and our families are facing. We are here and we work, even if our collective bargaining agreement expired years ago, leaving us with ridiculous wages. Yes, we are working too, unceasingly like others, for ourselves and for the whole community.

-In der Zwischenzeit schätzt ein kürzlich von der NGO Oxfam veröffentlichter Bericht über die Pflegearbeit die Situation wie folgt ein:
-
-> Die Besteuerung von zusätzlichen 0,5% des Reichtums der reichsten 1% in den nächsten 10 Jahren entspricht den Investitionen, die erforderlich sind, um 117 Millionen Arbeitsplätze im Bildungs-, Gesundheits- und Altenpflegebereich und in anderen Sektoren zu schaffen und Pflegedefizite zu schließen.

-# Bedingungen in den Gefängnissen
-
-In der Zeit um den 7. März haben in mehr als zwanzig italienischen Gefängnissen Häftlinge protestiert und randaliert und Räume in Gefängniskomplexen besetzt. Innerhalb weniger Tage wurden Dutzende von Menschen verletzt, zehn Häftlinge starben (nach Angaben der Behörden an einer Überdosis, nachdem sie in den Krankenstationen Drogen und Methadon gestohlen hatten (diese Anschuldigung wurde mehrfach bestritten)) und etwa siebzig sind entkommen.
-
-Die Gründe für diese Vorfälle sind unterschiedlich. Sie haben sowohl mit der aktuellen Situation in Italien als auch mit den chronischen Notlagen zu tun, die das Gefängnissystem seit Jahrzehnten durchläuft – z.B. Überbelegung und Unterbesetzung. Ein roter Faden, der viele Fälle miteinander verbindet, ist die Angst vor der SARS-CoV-2-Infektion und der Ärger über die Maßnahmen, die die Gefängnisbehörden zu ihrer Eindämmung ergriffen haben. Mit der Entscheidung des Justizministeriums wurden unter anderem Freigänge, Halbgefangenschafts-Regelungen und Treffen mit Familienmitgliedern vom 9. bis 22. März ausgesetzt. Die Massnahmen wurden verlängert. Zwischen denjenigen, die eine Strafe verbüßen, und denjenigen, die draußen sind, werden nur kontrollierte Telefon- und Videoanrufe erlaubt. Die Maßnahmen lösen Zorn aus, handelt es sich doch um eine weitere Einschränkung der Rechte der Gefangenen.

Forderungen sind unter anderem, die Haft als Standardmechanismus zur Bewältigung von Verbrechen zu hinterfragen und sich für die [Abschaffung von Gefängnissen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prison_abolition_movement#Abolitionist_views) und für Optionen der [Reparative/Restorative Justice](https://cain.ulster.ac.uk/issues/law/cjr/chap9.pdf) einzusetzen.

-# Notfälle in Flüchtlingslagern
-Genf, 10. März 2020 - Die Antwort der Welt auf die COVID-19-Krise muss alle umfassen und sich auf alle konzentrieren – auch auf diejenigen, die gezwungen sind, aus ihrer Heimat zu fliehen. Ältere Menschen unter der weltweiten Zwangsvertriebenenbevölkerung sind besonders verletzlich, warnte heute das UNHCR, das UN-Flüchtlingshilfswerk, in seinem ersten Aufruf zu COVID-19. Das UNHCR bittet dringend um 33 Millionen US-Dollar, um die Vorbereitungs-, Präventions- und Reaktionsmaßnahmen zur Deckung des unmittelbaren Gesundheitsbedarfs der Flüchtdenden zu verstärken. Mehr als 70 Millionen Menschen weltweit wurden durch Verfolgung, Konflikte, Gewalt und Menschenrechtsverletzungen gezwungen, ihre Heimat zu verlassen. Davon sind mehr als 20 Millionen Flüchtende, von denen 84 Prozent in Ländern mit niedrigem oder mittlerem Einkommen aufgenommen werden, die über ein im Vergleich mit reicheren Ländern schwächeres Gesundheits-, Wasser- und Abwassersystem verfügen.

-Die Überbelegung der und die erschreckenden Lebensbedingungen in den Hotspot-Camps auf den griechischen Inseln seien die perfekten Bedingungen für einen COVID-19-Ausbruch, warnten die Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)/Ärzte ohne Grenzen in einer Erklärung, die am 13. März veröffentlicht wurde. Da der erste COVID-19-Fall auf Lesbos, anderswo auf der Insel, bestätigt wurde, ist die Evakuierung der Lager dringender denn je. In einigen Teilen des Lagers in Moria gibt es nur einen Wasserhahn für je 1‘300 Menschen und keine Seife. Familien mit fünf oder sechs Personen müssen in Räumen von höchstens drei Quadratmetern schlafen. In den fünf Brennpunkten auf den griechischen Inseln, die insgesamt nur 6.000 Menschen aufnehmen können, sind 42'000 Asylsuchende eingeschlossen. Unter ihnen sind viele Patienten mit chronischen Krankheiten wie Diabetes, die extrem anfällig für COVID-19 sind.

-# Der Obdachlosigkeit entgegentreten
-Im Folgenden einige Ressourcen, die sich mit den Auswirkungen auf und der Formulierung von Care für Menschen befassen, die während des Coronavirus-Notfalls von Obdachlosigkeit betroffen sind. Viele Arbeiterinnen und Arbeiter in prekären Verhältnissen, freiberuflich Tätige und Menschen mit Nullstundenverträgen sind aufgrund des fehlenden Einkommens und der Unfähigkeit, Miete zu zahlen, weltweit stark gefährdet, obdachlos zu werden. Einige Länder leisten Hilfestellung - so z.B. in Italien, wo die Regierung die Hypothekenzahlungen vorübergehend ausgesetzt und die Haushaltsrechnungen reduziert hat (und auch eine Aussetzung der Mieten in Erwägung gezogen wird). An vielen Orten werden jedoch keine solchen Maßnahmen getroffen. Bereits überforderte Mieter_innen werden erheblich belastet. Dies gilt besonders für städtische Gebiete ohne Mietbegrenzung oder Mieter_innenrechte, wo dank Spekulation die Mieten, die Gentrifizierung und die Airbnb-Dichte unkontrolliert wuchern. Auch viele Studierende sind plötzlich mit einer Wohnungskrise konfrontiert, wenn der Campus ihrer Universität geschlossen wird.

-(Nach einem Flugblatt, das zuerst in Spanien zirkulierte)
-
-Appell an die Bürger_innen, die Ansteckung zu vermeiden – und zwar jene mit dem "zum Polizisten-Werden"-Virus...
-
-
-Wenn Sie einen Straßenhändler oder eine Strassenhändlerin sehen, rufen Sie nicht die Notfallnummer an, um ihn oder sie zu melden. Kaufen Sie dieser Person etwas ab. Wenn Sie bemerken, dass sie keine Maske trägt, klagen Sie sie nicht an, sondern versuchen Sie, ihr eine zu besorgen.
-
-Sei kein Polizist.
-
-Wenn Sie hören, dass Ihr Nachbar Symptome hat, schauen Sie nicht aus dem Fenster, um zu kontrollieren, ob er sich an die Quarantäne hält. Fragen Sie ihn, ob er etwas braucht.
-
-Sei kein Polizist.
-
-Wenn Sie in Ihrer Nachbarschaft Menschen auf der Straße sehen, vermuten Sie nicht das Schlimmste. Rufen Sie nicht die Notfallnummer an. Vielleicht sind sie auf dem Weg zur Arbeit. Nicht jede und jeder hat das Privileg, sich mit einem vollen Kühlschrank einzuschließen.
-
-Sei kein Polizist.
-
-Wenn Sie einkaufen gehen müssen, schauen Sie jene in Ihrer Nähe nicht böse an, weil Sie Angst vor einer Ansteckung haben. Sagen Sie hallo. Machen Sie Konversation. Sie sind nicht miteinander verfeindet.
-
-Sei kein Polizist.
-
-Wenn Sie jemandem begegnen, der oder die auf der Straße lebt, wechseln Sie nicht die Strassenseite. Wenn Sie können, verlassen Sie das Haus mit etwas Essen, einer zusätzlichen Maske, etwas Wasser in einer Dose.
-
-Sei kein Polizist.
-
-LASST UNS DIE VERBREITUNG DES POLIZEIVIRUS VERMEIDEN. Es ist ein Virus, das nicht mehr verschwinden wird.

-# How do we challenge the shame of housing debt?
-
-We have been led by states and financial institutions to believe that it is natural to enter into personal debt in order to have a home. The easy access to credit has been equated with the right to housing. Narratives, politics and practices about home have become, at different paces, in different places, a question of individual property through which we mortgage our future, our pensions, our education. As Raquel Rolnik puts it in her book Urban Warfare: "Through the finance of private home purchase, global capital market expansion was based on private indebtedness, establishing an intimate link between individuals' biological lives and the global process of income extraction and speculation". Since the 1990s mortgage became one of the main driving forces of financial market operations. The push towards housing debt economy was global, while the responsibility became individualized. Those that could not pay instalments were deemed lazy and incompetent. This created a feeling of shame and a sense of personal failure in life. One of the main victories of the people affected by mortgages in Spain was to assign guilt and shame where they are due - in financial institutions and states.

-# A history of struggle against the disposability of disabled lives
-
-People with disabilities or chronic illnesses have been long subject to a denial of care. No matter where we are, we have had to contend with the shortfalls in medical treatment, adaptation of built environment, access to assistive technologies, personalised assistance and many other unmet requirements. However, we have equally been subject to imposition of care. We have had to wrestle our autonomy away from familial overprotection, forced institutionalisation and segregation in specialised institutions. There is a long history of our communities organising and struggling to overcome this double -- objective and subjective -- disablement.
-
-## Social model of disability and disability rights movement
-
-A critical juncture in this history arrived in the 60s and 70s, as the inchoate disability rights movement started to level a critique against the then-dominant medical model of disability. The medical model,[^-1] which replaced the earlier eugenics model, viewed disability primarily as an individual affliction that had to be addressed through medical treatment and socialised through specialised institutions. However, the medical model was reductive as it failed to comprehend the individual affliction in its social context and thus has perpetuated the exclusion of our communities from the most aspects of social life.
-
-From this critique emerged an integrative, social model of disability,[^0] which considers physical, sensory, cognitive or psychological impairments as they appear in the social world of physical barriers, prejudicial attitudes, invisibility and ability-prioritising sphere of labour. Institutional, cultural and environmental factors, modelled around the norm of able-bodiedness, converge to limit people with disabilities in achieving their different capabilities and aspirations. It is this process of social disablement, and not the impairment itself, that defines disability.
-
-From this enlarged understanding of disability, the disability rights movement in the 1970s initiated a cycle of protests, campaigns and direct actions, inspired and supported by the larger civil justice and labour movements, that contested the power of economic interest and paternalistic institutions to demand an unconditional recognition of disability rights and creation of inclusive institutional settings. People with disabilities had a right to individually and collectively define their own requirements and a right to pursue independent living.
-
-
-
-## Radical model of disability and continuity of struggle
-
-While the social model initially had emphasised the structural exclusion and relations of power, through its successes over the next two decades, it increasingly narrowed its focus on disability as isolated from other forms of structural oppression. It also largely ignored the relations of (inter-)dependence that continued to be constitutive not only of the lives of many people with disabilities who required care and assistance but also of the entire able-bodied population in various forms throughout their lives. From these shortcomings, in the 1990s emerged the radical model of disability that rested on the understanding of disability as one of many different ways of being, foregrounding positive identification, self-empowerment, intersectionality and queering, cripping and madding of the ableist society.
-
-However, achieving disability rights, formulated under the social model of disability, still remains a challenge even in the highly progressive and affluent contexts. Ultimately, this has always depended and will continue to depend on our continued capacity to organise our in/interdependent living and mobilise against the discrimination, paternalism and neglect. This painful awareness that nothing is achieved that cannot be lost is enshrined in our slogan that also works as a warning: "Nothing About Us Without Us!".
-
-Therefore, after a history of struggle, it should be clear, particularly to public health authorities and political decision-makers, that the disability community and the allied communities of people with chronic illnesses, obesity or bodies broken by exploitation, poverty or unemployment will not sit still while others make the decisions in the current pandemic that risk making our lives disposable again.
-
-# The pandemic and the threat to our lives
-
-World Health Organisation[^1] estimates that around 15% of the global population lives with some form of disability, many of whom are additionally afflicted by secondary conditions, co-morbidities, earlier ageing and premature death. These afflictions are compounded by inadequate medical care, lacking social protection, unemployment, poverty and social isolation.
-
-All these factors become factors of additional risk in the situations of epidemics, as these social determinants of health inequality create conditions for faster transmission and higher morbidity and mortality.[^2] With the outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, where morbidity and mortality are particularly high among those with underlying health conditions, people with disabilities or chronic illnesses now face a situation of extreme vulnerability. Most of us are best advised to avoid getting infected to start with.
-
-However, that vulnerability can become amplified by the public health and political decisions in the pandemic in several ways:
-
-## A perpetuation of invisibility in public health guidance
-
-First, public health measures, protocols and messaging frequently do not include adequate consideration of specific requirements of people with disabilities or chronic illnesses.[^3] In a situation of significant danger to our lives we are again made irrelevant and invisible.
-
-For instance, in public guidance, we are typically lumped together as "other at-risk groups". While the disability and chronic illness often come with the prospect of limited mobility and living a life largely confined to home, many among us depend on regular professional or family assistance and therefore cannot simply maintain distance and isolate as advised by the public health guidance. Given that care workers typically assist more than one person and work in more than one institution, forced to do so by low wages and precarious work arrangements, they are themselves both at risk of getting infected and transmitting the infection.
-
-**For such reasons, public health protocols, guidance, messaging and hotlines need to be put in place that will be specifically aimed at reducing the risk of infection for people with disabilities and assistants. Also, social protection measures need to be put in place to have additional assistants at hand, to guarantee that all assistant work -- professional or not -- during the pandemic is paid and that assistants can get a sick pay in the case they get infected.**[^4]
-
-Furthermore, the sense that there is a continuity of making disability and chronic illness invisible in inadequate public health measures and messaging is only reinforced by the contrast we can observe in what societies are willing to do to create accommodations for able-bodied people who now have to live and work confined mostly to their homes and thus depend on the essential work of others. Under different circumstances, for our lives, those accommodations are simply not to be had.
-
-## Availability of critical medical supplies and medical treatment
-
-Second, people with disabilities or chronic illnesses frequently require oxygen tanks, ventilators and protective equipment such as masks and gloves. However, at present these are in short supply and **a failure to include among priority receivers people with disabilities or chronic illnesses when securing these supplies might aggravate existing health conditions and increase vulnerability**.
-
-Vulnerability is also increased for those among us who need to visit hospitals for medical treatments such as dialysis or therapy for critical acute conditions. **Hospitals have to plan in advance such emergency capacity and make arrangements to reduce the risks of transmission to disabled out-patients**, which might become difficult if an outbreak overwhelms the capacities of hospitals.
-
-Most at risk are those among us, however, who are in nursing homes or boarding schools. These institutions should have procedures in place and be subject to stricter supervision, particularly if they are privately managed, to avoid cases of massive neglect and defection of nursing staff as has reportedly happened in some nursing homes in Spain.
-
-## De-prioritising and triage
-
-Third, as a sudden spike in the need for beds, ventilators or medical staff threatens to overwhelm the healthcare system, public health authorities and hospitals are forced to make hard decisions on allocation of insufficient resources between patients requiring critical care. On principle, those who have smaller chances of recovery given their underlying health conditions or their clinical outlook are de-prioritised. As the harrowing situation in Lombardy has demonstrated, doctors have no other choice but to follow such guidance when doing triage whom to place on ventilator support and whom to let die.[^5] The danger here is that people with disabilities or chronic illnesses are implicitly de-prioritised. In fact, in some U.S. states, such as Alabama and Tennessee, critical care plans explicitly de-prioritise people with an intellectual disability or spinal muscular atrophy, assuming their lives are worth less.[^6]
-
-**People with disabilities or chronic illnesses are thus de-prioritised and made disposable in two ways: first because of their greater needs requirement when it comes to medical supplies and treatment -- and then when it comes to critical care because of their underlying health conditions.** For these reasons, the American Association of People with Disabilities has sent a letter to Congress demanding "a statutory prohibition on the rationing of scarce medical resources on the basis of anticipated or demonstrated resource-intensity needs." [^6] Otherwise, the discrimination and disposability of lives will be perpetuated through the measures that are designed to save lives in the first place.
-
-# "Nothing About Us Without Us!"
-
-As the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic spreads, the disability and chronic illness communities are mobilising and organising, knowing fully well that the decision-makers and institutions are quick to neglect their prior commitments to disability rights. Our response is not confined to actions of governments and institutions. We are contributing to broader solidarity networks organising collective assistance and mutual aid, providing guidance for people with disabilities[^7], chronic illnesses[^8] or conditions such as obesity[^9].
-
-**However, given the dangerous consequences of neglect, it is essential that we mobilise to demand from public health authorities to include us in the decision-making processes that will ultimately reflect on our chances of survival**

-title: "Domestic violence in quarantine"
----
-
-Warning: for many, #stayathome is by no means a reassuring invitation. An increase of domestic violence at a time of forced domesticity, something that we can easily imagine, was plentifully in evidence in the first epicenter of the pandemic in China, where [divorces](https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/world/2020/03/coronavirus-spike-in-divorces-as-fighting-couples-forced-into-isolation-report.html) have been spiking and the hashtag [#AntiDomesticViolenceDuringEpidemic #疫期反家暴#](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-51705199) was used over 3,000 times in the last month.
-
-More recently, we have seen similar trends emerging in the second epicentre, Italy, a country notorious even in less difficult times for its high numbers of femicides at the hands of "those who hold the house keys". During the last few days, chilling videos of domestic violence have begun to circulate on social media. These are videos that we will not link here, but that feminist sentinels on the net are mapping and trying to contain the cases.
-
-The most significant action to combat domestic violence in these times of forced and prolonged proximity was put in place by the network of Italian anti-violence centers [DiRE](https://www.dire.it/12-03-2020/432907-coronavirus-violenza-donne-veltri-d-i-re-chiamateci-noi-ci-siamo/), with the support of the national transfeminist movement Non Una Di Meno. This network has so far secured the regular operation of national and regional domestic violence hotlines.
-
-In this context, it becomes increasingly clear how gender violence is a structural device against which a perspective of systemic transformation must be activated, with initiatives ranging from educational prevention to workplace measures.

-AWARENESS AND COMMUNITY RESOURCES
-The Chilean feminist collective [Red Chilena contra la Violencia Hacia las Mujeres](http://www.nomasviolenciacontramujeres.cl) launched a series of resources under the Twitter hashtag [#enrednoscuidamos](https://twitter.com/hashtag/EnRedNosCuidamos?src=hashtag_click). These resources aim to create awareness on the systemic quality of domestic violence and offer as well practical information.
-
-Juntas en Acción is a Chilean network that addresses women's rights. They released the document [Violencia de Género en Chile - SPA](https://media.elmostrador.cl/2020/04/Documento_ViolenciadeGenero_JuntasenAccion.pdf) that dennounces the insufficient state policies in Chile for preventing gender violence and presents proposals for a more efficient management and perspective.

-
-PREVENTIVE INITIATIVES FOR MEN
-In the Argentinian region of Neuquén exists since 2018 the Dispositivo de Atención a Varones (DAV). They work with men offenders (when there is already a denounce) to prevent relapse, trying to deconstruct their notions of masculinity and power within their families. As developed in [this article - SPA](https://latfem.org/ir-al-corazon-del-patriarcado-un-dispositivo-para-varones-que-ejercen-violencia/), the center offers therapy for closed groups, where they work around the topics of paternity, sexuality, violence, etc. A critical aspect they address is the notion of property over other members of the family (partner, children). They also confront ideas of individual and personal senses of the law with current legal frameworks, trying to introduce the concept of responsibility with a community. DAV works with people from different socioeconomic backgrounds, and they observe that violence acquires many forms, more or less subtle, and different strategies of concealment. Life stories are incorporated in the narratives as a way to connect (or disentangle) people with their upbringings.
-
-There is also an article in the Argentinian magazine [Revista Anfibia - SPA](http://revistaanfibia.com/ensayo/los-varones-agreden/) on other preventive initiatives.

-'A little prison in the Hedgehog's land' is a picture book addressing the criminalization of the so-called illegal migrant/refugee wandering through the woods and running from danger. The book was inspired by the tale *Ježeva kučica* (Hedgehog's Home) in which a hedgehog is in search of a home. The title and the story were modified to tell the story of the detention centre in Ježevo ("Hedgehog land") near Zagreb, the Croatian capital. The book was made by the group of students and a mentor at the Centre for Peace Studies in Croatia. The book consists of two parts, one that is a story to read, reflect on and discuss, and the other that represents a game. The booklet can be used in both ways or separately, depending on the specific purpose and time frame.

-# Download/Upload
-
-The next session focuses on large repositories of digital text, so-called *shadow libraries*, that are technologically organised around actions of download and upload from and to server infrastructures. The session introduces learners to:
-
-- a) workflows used in digital text sharing, collection-building and collection-maintaining;
-- b) three shadow libraries: [Library Genesis](https://gen.lib.rus.ec), [Aaaaarg](https://aaaaarg.fail) and [Memory of the World](https://library.memoryoftheworld.org), and the legal pressures they face;
-- c) politicising interventions that articulate practices of digital text sharing as massive, collective and commoning.
-
-The goal is to get learners acquainted with three examples of shadow libraries that are created by communities of contributors and benefit a broader public. The fact that they maintain centralised repositories and they do not obfuscate their existence entails a need for an articulation of politics of collective disobedience and practice of collective custodianship. This session covers a lot of practical ground and different debates, requiring more time than the remaining sessions in this topic. You can break these segments up into separate chunks of time or re-organise them into one longer workshop. Depending on the number of participants and their skills, the time needed for each segments might vary from what is proposed here.
-
-## Segment 1: Download / Upload
-
-**Duration:** 90 minutes
-
-**Methods:** learning by doing, learners have to use their own computers to complete the tasks.
-
-**Goal:** In this practical segment, the learners will acquire first-hand knowledge of how to download and upload, create collections and maintain collections on Library Genesis, Aaaaarg and Memory of the World.
-
-**Task 1:**
-- download from Library Genesis,
-- [upload to Library Genesis](https://libgen.is/librarian/) (uname:genesis, passwd: upload),
-- [upload using LibGen Desktop](https://wiki.mhut.org/software:libgen_desktop)
-
-**Task 2:**
-- login to Aaaaarg,
-- download from Aaaaarg,
-- add a [request for an item](https://aaaaarg.fail/thing/add) and upload that item,
-- start a [new collection](https://aaaaarg.fail/collection/add), add items to your collection (go to an item -> collections column -> 'sort into collection')
-- start a [discussion](https://aaaaarg.fail/talk/add), add to an existing discussion
-
-**Task 3:**
-- download from Memory of the World,
-- install [Calibre](https://calibre-ebook.com/download), add an item to Calibre, edit its metadata (right-click -> edit metadata)
-- for the advanced learners: install in command line (> pip3 install accorder) and test the accorder tool, use the local version of the collection HTML file created by accorder
-
-**Discussion:** Learners should summarise the differences between the three shadow libraries, particularly focusing on public accessibility, how the work of uploading items is organised, how the bibliographic metadata is handled and what type of engagement of the community of uploaders and the community of downloaders they suggest.
-
-## Segment 2: Library Genesis
-
-**Duration:** 90 minutes
-
-**Methodology:** reading & discussion, analysis of the interface
-
-**Goal:** In this segment, the learners will get acquainted with the history, community and communication infrastructure of Library Genesis. Library Genesis has emerged as the largest shadow library after the collection of Gigapedia/Library.nu (shut down under legal pressure) was merged into its collection, and is presently the largest of shadow libraries by some margin, holding over 2 million titles. Library Genesis's code, database and collection are all downloadable, and there is a number of mirrors providing alternative access to some or all of its holdings.
-
-The segment starts by discussing two texts documenting the history and operation of Library Genesis that the learners are asked to read in advance. They are then given time to analyse the segments of the Library Genesis website and [the bulletin board forum of the Library Genesis](https://forum.mhut.org/viewforum.php?f=6).
-
-The aim is to get learners to see how the politics of community is implemented and how it follows from the technical aspects of the Library Genesis.

-
-## Segment 3: Aaaaarg & Memory of the World - legal cases and politicisation
-
-**Duration:** 90 minutes
-
-**Methodology:** advance reading and discussion guided through questions
-
-The learners are asked in advance to read up on Aaron Swartz, on Elsevier v Library Genesis case, and read the texts *Aaaaarghhhhh, a Lawsuit!*, Custodians.online letter and 'System of a Takedown'. The discussion should first start from going back to the shutdown of Gigapedia/Library.nu that led to the ascendancy of Library Genesis. Learners are asked to summarise the aspects of legal cases around shadow libraries and reflect on the larger context of struggles over copyright and intellectual property that these are part of. They are asked to reflect on the denial of access and limitation of the mission of public libraries, and the complementarity of shadow libraries and public libraries.
-
-The discussion should then focus on implications of the three shadow libraries Library Genesis, Aaaaarg and Memory of the World. They operate in plain sight, have large communities of contributors and maintain largely centralised repositories - what strategies do they use to diminish legal vulnerability and what arguments do they use to publicly articulate their work? What role does in those strategies play the societal institutions of production and dissemination of knowledge with their missions and processes — for instance, public library and its mission of providing decommodified access to all literature to all of the society.
-
-To conclude, the discussion should focus on the Custodians.online letter, to analyse the main points around the inversion of property form into a commons, collective disobedience and response to the larger context of socio-economic crisis and the crisis of public access to knowledge.

-# De por qué organizar la asistencia
-
-Lo más importante que las personas pueden hacer para reducir la propagación del virus y la mortalidad es evitar el contacto cercano (2 metros de distancia en espacios cerrados, 1 metro al aire libre), trabajar desde el hogar y aislarse en el hogar. Las personas que pertenecen a grupos de riesgo (mayores de 60 años y/o que padecen afecciones crónicas como enfermedades cardiovasculares y cardíacas, presión arterial alta o baja, diabetes, enfermedades pulmonares o del sistema inmunitario) no deben abandonar su hogar. A las personas que han viajado recientemente, o que presentan síntomas, se les aconseja (o se les ordena) el aislamiento, quedarse en casa y evitar el contacto con otras personas. En muchos lugares, a medida que se introducen medidas de bloqueo, todos quienes no tienen el deber de ir a trabajar deben quedarse en casa y salir sólo para hacer las compras necesarias, disminuyendo el riesgo de una mayor propagación.
-
-El aislamiento, sin embargo, crea obstáculos importantes para asegurar el suministro regular de alimentos, medicamentos, artículos de limpieza y otros, y dificultades para atender tareas rutinarias como sacar la basura o recoger el correo. El aislamiento implica una reconfiguración radical de la organización de la vida cotidiana para quienes están en aislamiento. Las condiciones de aislamiento, además, pueden conducir a la desorientación y otras dificultades emocionales.
-
-Si no estás en un grupo de riesgo y quieres organizarte (en grupo o individualmente) para ayudar a los miembros de tu familia, amistades, vecindario u otros grupos, puedes tener en cuenta lo siguiente para construir diferentes escenarios.
-
-# Hazles saber que estás disponible
-
-Puede hacerles saber que puedes ayudar publicando una nota en la entrada del edificio, dejándola debajo o al lado de su puerta, o llamándoles. También puedes publicitarlo en redes sociales o en una página web, pero supón que las personas mayores pueden no tener acceso a Internet así que el papel y el teléfono son más confiables en estos casos. Deja un número de teléfono como contacto junto a información básica sobre ti o tu grupo para establecer la confianza inicial. Hazles saber en tu nota que si ellos mismos no necesitan asistencia pueden informar a otras personas que tu estás ofreciendo ayuda.
-
-Tu nota inicial puede ser muy simple, por ejemplo:
-
->Queridos vecinos,
-
-> si necesitan ayuda para obtener sus alimentos y provisiones médicas, recoger correo o sacar a pasear a su perro, llámenos al [tu número de teléfono aquí] y podemos hacer esas cosas por usted, tomando las medidas necesarias para evitar exponerlo al contagio.
-
-> Quédese en casa y manténgase saludable. No dude en contactarnos, estamos aquí para ayudarlo,
-
-> [Describa brevemente quién es usted y su nombre, p. "Vecino/a de la planta baja", "Grupo de ayuda mutua vecina"]
-
-# Qué considerar al organizar la asistencia
-
-Al organizar la asistencia, asegúrate de:
-- Asistir a la persona en aislamiento siguiendo pautas sobre aislamiento en el hogar, asistencia a grupos en riesgo y orientación oficial del tipo de esta [guía](https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/guidance-prevent-spread-sp.html).
-- ¿Qué mercadería necesitan? ¿Pueden pedirlas en línea y recibirlas, o es mejor que tú se las lleves?
-- ¿Tienen los medicamentos que necesitan? ¿Necesitan una receta? ¿Puedes recoger sus medicamentos de la farmacia? ¿Tienen máscaras, jabones y desinfectantes? ¿Tienen un termómetro y medicamentos para la fiebre y la tos?
-- ¿Pueden preparar una comida o necesitan ayuda? ¿Puedes hacerles tú una comida o arreglar que les entreguen comida de una cocina solidaria?
-- ¿Necesitan que les saquen la basura o recojan el correo?
-- ¿Tienen una mascota de la casa? ¿Necesitan sacarla a caminar?
-- ¿Tienen dinero? ¿Tienen efectivo? ¿Pueden pagar en línea? ¿Tienen una persona de confianza que pueda retirar efectivo por ellos? ¿Necesitan asistencia financiera?
-- Para minimizar tu movimiento, intenta planificar y hacer mandados para varios días a la vez.
-
-# Qué considerar al entregar artículos
-
-Al entregar cosas, considere también lo siguiente:
-- Evitar el contacto cercano (2 metros en espacio cerrado y 1 metro en aire abierto, y mantener la interacción breve) para evitar la transmisión del virus por el aire.
-- Es mejor dejar las cosas frente a la puerta para que puedan recogerlas una vez que te hayas alejado a la distancia recomendada.
-- También pueden hacer lo mismo con la basura o cualquier cosa que tengan que darte.
-- Si no puede evitar el contacto social directo, la persona aislada debe usar una máscara. Primero déjales una máscara si no tienen una.
-- Maneje con cuidado los artículos para evitar la transmisión del virus a través de las superficies. Use guantes desechables para manipular los artículos que entregarás y las cosas que está tomando.
-
-# Qué considerar si vives con la persona aislada en el hogar
-
-Las personas que están aisladas, ya sea porque podrían estar o están infectadas, o porque pertenecen a uno de los grupos de riesgo, con frecuencia vivirán en un hogar compartido con otras personas. Para aquellos que son mayores, enfermos graves, enfermos o discapacitados que dependen de la asistencia de otros, pero que viven en lugares y situaciones donde dicha asistencia no puede ser brindada por instituciones calificadas y cuidadores capacitados, el distanciamiento social y el aislamiento aconsejados podrían no ser fácilmente implementables y será necesario el contacto directo. Si tienes a una persona aislada en tu hogar o eres un cuidador que vive en casa, considera los consejos para cuidadores de niños u otra persona en aislamiento individual en la siguiente [guía](https://www.mscbs.gob.es/profesionales/saludPublica/ccayes/alertasActual/nCov-China/documentos/Manejo_domiciliario_de_COVID-19.pdf).
-
-En breve:
-- Si es posible, la persona aislada debe usar una habitación separada. Ventila y desinfecta regularmente la habitación.
-- Si es posible, esa persona debe usar un baño y un baño separados. De lo contrario, el inodoro y el baño deben desinfectarse después de su uso.
-- La persona debe estar aislada de otras personas en el hogar que pertenezcan a uno de los grupos de riesgo.
-- Si esa persona necesita el cuidado de otras personas, reduce el número de cuidadores. Si la persona está infectada, asegúrate de que los cuidadores no pertenezcan a uno de los grupos de riesgo.
-- Los cuidadores deben mantener la distancia requerida (dos metros) si no están proporcionando apoyo directo, usar la máscara durante el tiempo que estén en la misma habitación y lavarse las manos antes y después del contacto.
-- Desinfecte las superficies, separe la basura, particularmente los tejidos y otros artículos contaminados. Mantén la basura contaminada firmemente atada en una bolsa de plástico en la habitación con la persona aislada y llévela a la papelera por separado justo antes de la recolección regular.
-- Usa cubiertos y platos separados, lávalos y desinféctalos después de usarlos.
-- Lave por separado, regularmente y a alta temperatura, ropa de cama, toallas y ropa.
-
-# Mantener contacto regular y brindar apoyo emocional.
-
-Contáctate con ellos regularmente. Escucha. Interésate. Considera lo siguiente:
-- ¿Tienen todo lo que necesitan? ¿Se sienten bien? ¿Necesitan asistencia médica?
-- A medida que las personas permanecen en aislamiento social, pueden perder contacto y apoyo emocional. Prepárate para pasar tiempo hablando con ellos y entendiendo cómo se sienten y cómo se enfrentan a la situación.
-- Si crees que no están bien emocionalmente, ten a mano una línea directa de ayuda psicológica y aconséjalos buscar una consulta.
-- Si desea informarse sobre cómo proporcionar apoyo psicológico autónomo, considere mirar el tema Autonomía psicosocial en nuestro programa de estudios Pirate Care.

-# Crisis doméstica
-
-La domesticidad forzada tensiona incluso familias y personas que no son habitualmente violentas. Para muchos, #quedateencasa no es una invitación tranquilizadora. Para leer más acerca de violencia doméstica como resultado de domesticidad forzada, puedes ir a la sesión (aún en Inglés) . Muy seguido, las víctimas más jóvenes de la violencia doméstica–infantes-corren riesgo de ser descuidades. Si un grupo que co-habita include niñes, tal vez confinades a una casa demasiado pequeña y sin espacio al aire libre, la situación se vuelve muy compleja y de fácil escalada. Es útil, entonces, el buscar maneras de asegurar una coexistencia pacífica y agradable para todas las personas.
-
-# Explicar la pandemia a les niñes
-
-El primer paso en esta dirección es explicar a les niñes, en un lenguaje apropiado para su edad, cómo estamos viviendo esta emergencia y por qué esta situación ocurre.
-
-En las últimas semanas, han surgido muchas iniciativas destinadas a facilitar el tiempo de les niñes en casa o auto-aislamiento. Éstas incluyen: usos alternativos de tecnologías existentes, demandas para la suspensión de pagos que restrinjan acceso a contenidos digitales, producción de contenido sobre la emergencia orientado a niñes, prácticas de atención colectiva entre familias, barrios y otros grupos de personas.
-
-
-*Nuevas e impensables áreas de negociación entre adultos y niñes...*
-
-# Mantener niñes actives
-
-Aquí hay algunas recomendaciones y experiencias del contexto Italiano que pueden servir de inspiración:
-
-## ¡Sin olvidarse de bailar!
-No moverse es dañino, especialmente para les niñes. En cuarentena forzada, es útil definir un momento del día a actividades físicas, cada uno según sus habilidades. Si no puedes dejar la casa para caminar o correr ¡sube la música y baila hasta cansarte!
-
-## Graba tus historias y compártelas en tu comunidad
-Lee en voz alta historias infantiles con una grabadora, articulando bien las palabras y sin prisa. Tú probablemente ya tienes una grabadora: tu teléfono! Invita a otras personas a hacer lo mismo y abre un email para almacenar los audios. Para compartir las historias puedes crear un canal de Telegram u otros chats que mantengas con tu comunidad (cuidado: dos audios diarios es más que suficiente!). Este es un [ejemplo](https://t.me/storiealtelefono) de un canal Telegram italiano.
-
-## Producir y usar contenido *hecho por niñes* y para niñes
-Si entender lo que pasa no es fácil para nadie, para les niñes es aún más difícil. Sin entender lo que un virus es, las restricciones actuales son incomprensibles. Por esta razón, hablar con les niñes es importante y puede llevar al surgimiento de nuevos puntos de vista y nuevos contenidos sobre la emergencia. Producir nuevo contenido con elles (grabaciones de audio, videos, dibujos, textos...), o mostrarles estos contenidos, es una manera de mostrarles lo que pasa y puede servir para calmarles acerca de lo desconocido.
-
-Este [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttfyyQGdZFg&feature=youtu.be) (en italiano) es un buen ejemplo.
-
-Hay guías también dirigidas a niñes como la preparada por la [Unicef](https://www.unicef.org/lac/media/10151/file/Guia-para-hablar-sobre-el-coronavirus-con-los-ninos-mas-pequenos.pdf). En la red hay muchos otros materiales de fácil acceso que son útiles y divertidos para pasar tiempo juntes.
-
-Para inspirar niñes a hacer animación se les puede mostrar [EXPERIMENT 120-Inglés](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKQRV4XKZt4&list=PLXnmdJHep6dS8H1BtTNHjgCm6KUz2L1Q1), un playlist de Youtube con films experimentales cortos seleccionados por [Studio Walter](https://www.instagram.com/mariepierrebonniol/). Muchos de estos filmes son cortos (entre 1 y 4 minutos) y pueden ser disfrutados sin distinción de lenguaje. Una buena introducción a la animación se puede encontrar en este [tutorial Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/tv/B-K2MG7FyuS) creado por Cool Marbles Stuff.
-
-# Colectivizar el cuidado de niñes
-En esta emergencia, muchas familias enfrentan grandes dificultades financieras y laborales. En algunos casos, personas perderán meses de sueldo o serán forzadas a trabajar aunque las escuelas estén cerradas. dejar niñes con sus abueles debe ser evitado, ya que la edad y condiciones de salud aumentan la posibilidad de mortalidad por Coronavirus. Es preferble organizar el cuidado de niñes de otra manera:
-
-a. Coordina con otras familias del vecindario para cuidar a les niñes juntos (lo mejor sería formar un grupo fijo y cerrado).
-b. Organiza un servicio de cuidadores en el vecindario a través de personas disponibles para jugar (verifica si hay un grupo solidario activo en tu área).
-
-En un ejemplo [ejemplo](https://www.facebook.com/Ri.make1/photos/a.1461860884067343/2433143390272416/?type=3&theater) en Milán, vecinos se organizaron a través de una planilla simple compartida para coordinar a las personas que necesitaban ayuda con las personas disponibles, recibiendo soporte legal para manejar eventuales limitaciones de movimiento.
-
-# ¡Que les niñes sigan socializando!
-les niñes también pueden tomar ventaja de las tecnologías disponibles, En estos tiempos de aislamiento, herramientas como [jitsi.org](https://www.jitsi.org) permiten organizar llamadas colectivas. Organiza pic-nics online y chats entre niñes. Mientras elles interactúan, trata de irte más lejos y respetar su privacidad.
-
-# Tareas escolares
-Dependiendo de la escuela, les niñes tendrán más o menos tareas escolares que hacer. Para niñes preescolares o en primaria, la recomendación es decidir en conjunto una hora específica del día en la cual hacer tareas bajo supervisión, sin abrumarles con muchas exigencias. Es mejor si leen un libro extra por su propia voluntad!
-
-Para adolescentes, las cosas son más complejas porque pueden usar diferentes tipos de lecciones online. Aquí también es importante considerar el aspecto emocional de les estudiantes, dado lo complicado de la situación, y no concentrarse sólo en su rendimiento.

-# Derechos reproductivos
-
-Cuando los procedimientos rutinarios y no-urgentes están siendo postpuestos en las áreas más afectadas por la epidemia, lo excepcional de la situación está impactando negativamente el derecho a un aborto seguro–en aquellos lugares donde es legalmente posible. En algunos países, como Estados Unidos, la epidemia está tratando de usarse de manera oportunista para restringir estos derechos. [Republicanos tratan de capitalizar la epidemia para introducir lenguaje anti-abortista -EN](https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2020/03/house-republicans-tried-to-capitalize-on-coronavirus-to-sneak-anti-abortion-language-into-law/)
-
-De esta manera, organizar redes que puedan mapear los servicios disponibles se vuelve una prioridad. En Italia, un canal [Telegram](https://t.me/aborto_emergenzaCOVID19) y un servicio telefónico 24h fueron abiertos por la red [Obiezione Respinta](https://obiezionerespinta.info) para brindar información sobre centros hospitalarios y farmacias que garanticen/provean el ejercicio de derechos reproducticos.
-
-En muchos contextos de habla hispana el acceso a un aborto gratuito y seguro no está garantizado por ley. En Chile, por ejemplo, [InfoAbortoChile](http://infoabortochile.org) tiene un teléfono de ayuda y guías para abortos con medicamentos.

-**Nota**
-Si quieres divulgar iniciativas (sin poner en riesgo a otras personas), comunícate con nosotres.
-
-# Violencia doméstica
-
-Advertencia: para muches, #quedateencasa no es una invitación tranquilizadora. Un aumento de la violencia doméstica en tiempos de domesticidad forzada, algo desgraciadamente fácil de imaginar, fue evidenciado en el primer centro de la epidemia en China, donde los [divorcios](https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/world/2020/03/coronavirus-spike-in-divorces-as-fighting-couples-forced-into-isolation-report.html) aumentaron y el hashtag [#AntiDomesticViolenceDuringEpidemic #疫期反家暴#](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-51705199) ha sido ampliamente usado.
-
-Más recientemente, hemos visto tendencias similares en otros países afectados por el coronavirus. En países en el que el femicidio es ya un gran problema incluso en condiciones menos difíciles, el encierro y la precariedad sólo empeora la situación. Los escalofriantes videos de violencia doméstica que han circulado en redes sociales son una dramática prueba. No linkearemos esos videos acá pero los casos están siendo mapeados por activistas en la red.
-
-Colectivos organizados bajo el lema Ni Una Menos han levantado sistemas de ayuda y protestas en distintos lugares del mundo. Un ejemplo es [Ni Una Menos Argentina](https://www.facebook.com/NUMArgentina/) que está organizando protestas para concientizar sobre el elevado número de femicidios que han ocurrido desde el inicio de la cuarentena. La [Red Chilena contra la Violencia hacia las Mujeres](http://www.nomasviolenciacontramujeres.cl) ha creado recursos para mujeres en situaciones de peligro [#juntasnoscuidamos](https://twitter.com/MujeresRed/status/1240815218143506432).
-
-En este contexto, se vuelve cada vez más claro cómo la violencia de género es una construcción estructural contra la que es necesario activar una transformación sistémica, con iniciativas que van desde la educación hasta las medidas protectoras en el hogar y el trabajo.

-# Trabajos de cuidados
-
-Les trabajadores que arriesgan los mayores riesgos de salud durante la pandemia son aquelles que hacen [tareas esenciales de reproducción social - EN](https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/03/15/business/economy/coronavirus-worker-risk.html), como personas encargadas de la limpieza, enfermeres, cuidadores del hogar o cajeres. Sin embargo, como discusiones feministas han explicado ya muchas veces, estos trabajos son los peores pagados en términos de salarios, condiciones laborales y de seguridad, y precariedad. Estos trabajos, además, están muy seguido a cargo de mujeres y migrantes.
-

-
-La declaración anónima de trabajadores de la limpieza en un hospital de Bergamo (una de las ciudades más afectadas por la pandemia) da cuenta de esta situación:
-
-> Somos les trabajadores invisibles. Somos quienes se levantan a las 5 de la mañana, a quien nadie ve. La única huella de nuestra existencia es la limpieza que hacemos, que pasa desapercibida y se da por sentada. Pero existimos, y estamos acá. Nosotres, les trabajadores de limpieza del hospital, también estamos haciendo todo para hacer nuestra organización lo más segura durante este período. Estamos aquí, a pesar que nadie habla de nosotres, a pesar de los miedos y los riesgos que enfrentamos nosotres y nuestras familias. Estamos aquí y trabajamos, incluso si nuestro acuerdo de negociación colectiva expiró hace años, dejándonos con salarios ridículos. Sí, también trabajamos incesantemente como les demás, por nosotres y por toda la comunidad.

----
-
-If gender constructs of “male” and “female” are social fictions validated by patriarchal science, then we should be able to define and create our own fictions. In the first part of this session, participants will collectively read articles and chapters that help excavate the strange and twisted history of hormones and how this has allowed patriarchal institutions to cement the binary system of gender in the public mind. This collective excavation also hopes to reveal the complex entanglements between petrochemical and pharmaceutical industries, medical science, corporate marketing, marginalized bodies, and environmental health.
-
-The second half of the session will talk about current work being done by artists, performers, and open source practitioners who are paving the way to decolonize our bodies from these violent histories and constructions of binary gender.

-title: "Exercise: Imagining the Game"
----
-
-The following exercise involves devising a speculative pirate game and was designed as a coda for the sessions we have written under the topic of 'Autonomous Emotional Support'. It can also be used as a free-standing exercise. Examining the hows and whys of autonomous emotional support, we are led to question who are the agents of such support, and the same question could be asked of a lot of pirate practices.
-
-Who is the 'I' or 'we' of autonomy? Practicing autonomy, consent, collective self-defense, building communal capacities, may constitute a kind of hacking or pirating of dominant categories of self and other.
-
-Autonomy from what, anyway?
-
-> I mentioned my idea for a brotherhood, that I had called earthen cup, the form of which would be determined by some type of ritual. You drifted into your own thoughts at this stage. You hate all that anarchist stuff, or at least the people involved. You didn’t want to talk about them. Then, as if from far away, you said, it is the deliberate investment in something that is not real that makes it work. It is the sketching out of an imaginary place and behaving within it as if it were real. It is the expenditure of all that rehearsed energy in one performance that causes the specialness. I agreed, it is its dissipation, a fog burnt off by the sun. There is no residue. It is about something special that does not last, and which is intended to be lost. It is something that cannot be repeated.
-
-> I said, in essence, it should be understood as the extension of possibilities for interpersonal relations under ritualised circumstances. You are talking about a magic circle, you said. I admitted, in effect, that I was. By adopting unreal personae, or masks, in a very tightly controlled environment, a laboratory for behaviours, the actants temporarily escape the economic determination of their existence. Using behaviours conditioned by imagined laws the actants are able to experience a diminishing of the control that is typically exerted over them by real determinations. Aspects of our selves that are conditioned to go unused can now be drawn upon whilst all the usual registers are momentarily disconnected.

-# What is involved in our choices?
-
-
-This workshop aims to collectively learn how to visualize what is involved in our choices; to analyze the material condition of invisibility of the activities that underpin what we do; and, finally, to rethink who and where we are in relation to our choices.
-The workshop can be conceived as a stand-alone session, however we suggest to organize it together with the workshop .
-
-
-## Timing
-
-3 hours
-
-## Keywords
-
-Interdependency, Environment, Work, Value/s, Power Relations
-
-## Tools
-
-Tables, Chairs, Pen, Print-outs of [Map 4-1](/topic/commoningcare/exploringinterdependencies/tools/4.MAP-01.jpg) and [Map 4-2](/topic/commoningcare/exploringinterdependencies/tools/4.MAP-01.jpg)
-
-
-
-
-
-# Let's learn together
-## Step 1: Introduction
-
-Ask participants to introduce themselves (3 minutes each).
-
-## Step 2: We are not alone (20 min.)
-
-Ask participants to choose a normal activity they do when alone (i.e. eating; putting on make-up; doing their nails; reading) and to write it down at the top of [Map 4-1](/topic/commoningcare/exploringinterdependencies/tools/4.MAP-01.jpg). Split participants into groups of 3/4 people and ask each group to fill all maps together. Guide groups to deeply analyse each activity by listing every single task and effort that underpins it. For instance, if the activity is “eating a tomato”, ask them to unpack all the necessary processes that precede having a tomato in a dish ready to be eaten.
-
-## Step 3: Magical discoveries (30 min.)
-
-Put the completed maps at the centre of the room and ask participants to report back on what they have identified behind their simple activities, taking 2/3 cases as examples. Guide a collective discussion around what the maps show, highlighting both the human labour and the non-human energy involved in each process. At the end take a photo of all the maps.
-
-## Step 4: Let’s read (40 min.)
-
-Start a reading group of the chapter Consuming Suffering (p. 107) of Shotwell’s book “Against purity”, changing the reader at the end of each paragraph. Ask people to stop after each paragraph to verify if there are any words that need to be explained. If yes, stop and collectively discuss them for not more than 5 minutes each. When time is over, stop reading.
-
-## Step 5: We are not alone and useful (30 min.)
-
-Ask each participant to fill [Map 4-2](/topic/commoningcare/exploringinterdependencies/tools/4.MAP-01.jpg) by writing on the top of the map an activity to which they are related (in term of labour, care, affect). Ask them to write at the bottom of the map a task they do in order to guarantee the activity on the top. Regroup and guide a discussion around the upside-down perspective.
-For example: my boss wants to write a grant (write this at the top) and I am asked to contribute a section (write this down below); fill the remaining space with all the actions and tasks that I together with my colleagues will have to carry out in order to acheive the goal. Another example: my son goes to university (write this at the top of the map). Below, write down all of the things that I as a parent, together with other, must do in oder for this to happen. The goal of this exercise is to show how individual actions are composed with the actions of others in complext webs of interdependency.
-
-## Step 6: Conclusions (20 min.)
-
-Ask participants how they feel about the workshop and to start thinking more frequently who/what is involved in their choices. Send them the two photos of the maps.

-# Session 3: From an affinity group to an activist organization: maintaining community
-
-
-**Introduction**
-
-As a small group of activists formalizes their work in organizational terms, and grows in regard of persons and resources involved, difficulties arise from that growth. In particular, ways of doing that were tied to friendships among the small group of activists no longer apply. In this session, organizational mechanisms of care, communication, and decision-making used by Sea Watch are explored critically, to learn and inherit useful mechanisms of continually structuring a growing community of care.
-
-### **Let’s Learn Together**
-
-
-**Step 1: Introduce ourselves**
-
-**Step 2: Care on the ship (2 hours)**
-
-
-Explain (1) the buddy system, (2) psychological briefings, (3) knowledge/skill sharing among crew, (4) the cleaning routine and other work of ship maintenance, and (5) care for the guests. Guide a discussion for each, asking participants to connect these mechanisms to their experiences.
-
-(1) The buddy system: Each member of the crew of 22 is paired up with another person (of their choice or random, decided prior to pairing up among and by specific crew members) for the duration of the mission, to check on daily on each other in terms of psychological well-being, especially regarding how they are dealing with stress.
-
-(2) Psychological pre-briefing and de-briefing: Before each mission, the entire crew meets for the first time, joined by an external psychologist, who facilitates their introduction to each other and tackles the topic of stress related to their care work. After the mission, the crew meets again in plenum to share reflections and feelings that came out of what happened during the mission.
-
-(3) Skill sharing: Whereas skills that are vital to performing search and rescue are systematically trained on board within a strict schedule, other skills related to the maintenance of the ship, seamanship, and skills of interest to particular crew members are scheduled upon demand when ship is underway and not engaged in search and rescue. The ones related to the ship contribute to the equalizing effect among the crew composed of professional seafarers, non-professional seafarers, and persons with no/little prior experience on the sea.
-
-(4) Morning cleaning and maintenance jobs: Crew vacuums, mops, and scrubs the common spaces, to maintain the working routine as much as to maintain tidiness. Based on their function on the ship, crew members belong to one of the three “departments” (deck, engine room, bridge) and are given maintenance jobs by the person responsible for the department when appropriate and necessary. Maintaining the ship in the good shape is seen as a prerequisite for being able to sail and undertake effective missions.
-
-(5) Guest care: After a rescue, crew participates in cooking, handing out food, watches, crowd mood observing, and other tasks distributed and coordinated by the so-called Guest Coordinator. Every crew member enters into relationships with guests according to own capacities and guidelines set by the Guest Coordinator (for example: do not give a blanket to a person if you cannot give it to everyone, unless there is a specific valid case for it). There is a crew member (Cultural Mediator) who does the work of preparing referrals with and for the guests, so that they have access to adequate and professional care once on the land.
-
-**Step 3: Modes of communicating, knowing, aligning, strategizing, choosing action, (re)acting, coordinating, overseeing, intervening, questioning, collaborating (2 hours)**
-
-Explain (1) the weekly teleconference call, (2) the morning meeting on Sea Watch 3, (3) the Mission Support group. Guide a discussion for each, asking participants to connect these mechanisms to their experiences.
-
-(1) The weekly teleconference call, so-called Monday telco: The decision-making body of the organization, where all its formal members have a voice and voting rights. Decisions made are ones that belong to the ‘greater picture” level, whereas operational questions get delegated to departments. Teleconference is facilitated/moderated by the Organization Coordinator, who has no voting rights.
-
-(2) The Mission Support group: Is one of such departments to which specific decision-making is delegated. What happens during a mission affects not only the ship and Logistics but also departments such as Media and Advocacy. The MSG includes representatives from relevant departments and decides autonomously on mission relevant issues. Like the Monday telco, it has a coordinator.
-
-(3) The morning meeting: Every morning on the ship, the entire crew (except 2 persons on watch at that moment) meets in a mess room. Captain, the chief engineer, and the bosun give updates concerning the mission and the ship. Any crew member can add on and/or take a word on any issue of interest to the whole crew.
-
-(4) Discourse: Online platform where everyone who has participated in SW missions, shipyard times, or is otherwise volunteering or working for SW, and the organization members, have a voice. There is no decision-making power.
-
-
-**Step 4: Compost (2 hours)**
-
-Ask participants to design mechanisms of sharing information and acting upon it that integrate care, for an organization of a given and changing size. Guide them working in small groups. Discuss the results.

-# Histories of public healthcare
-
-Around the world, the Covid-19 pandemic is forcing governments to face the question of healthcare as a universal right that should be publicly funded through general taxation and feely available to all.
-
-On March 17th, 2020, The Spanish Ministry of Health has announced that the government is putting [all private hospitals in the country under state control](https://publicservices.international/resources/news/spain-nationalises-all-private-hospitals-uk-rents-hospital-beds?id=10645&lang=en) indefinitely, to combat the spread of COVID-19 infections. "For the duration of this crisis the State will take control of all private hospital facilities and manage all of the resources for the common benefit of all of our people," [Ireland's Health Minister Simon Harris declared](https://www.thejournal.ie/private-hospitals-ireland-coronavirus-5056334-Mar2020/) on 24th March. In the UK instead, the NHS will need to [‘to rent 8,000 private hospital beds for £2,400,000 per day’](https://metro.co.uk/2020/03/16/nhs-rent-8000-private-hospital-beds-2400000-per-day-12406301/). [South Africa](https://www.iol.co.za/business-report/economy/no-plan-to-nationalise-private-hospitals-in-wake-of-coronavirus-45187424) Department of Health spokesperson Popo Maja said in an interview with Business Report that the government was not looking to nationalise private hospitals because of the epidemic.
-
-In this context, this session puts together some stories of how the national health services came into existence in various countries and thanks to important social struggles. What becomes apparent again and again is the link between pirate care practices, social struggles and the creation of publicly-funded welfare provisions.

-
-Italy is a major case of policy success in health. According to the 2017 OECD data, life expectancy at birth in Italy is 83.1 years, compared to the 80.9 years of the European Union average: but the total health expenditure per inhabitant is 2,483 euros, against 2,884 of the average EU (a 15% gap). It is a paradox worth probing that the European country with the longest life expectancy has achieved this result with reduced spending. ).
-
-The pressure for creating a public health care system in 1978 was born from an unprecedented alliance between left political forces, advanced experiences renewing medical practice, radical health activism, struggles by trade unions, workers’ groups, student and feminist movements.
-
-The outcome – the 1978 reform – was a universal, public, free health service, offering a wide range of provision outside the market, largely modelled on the British NHS and reflecting the definition of health spelt out by the WHO in 1946.
-
-Abandoning the tradition of a corporatist health system with its limited coverage of separate professional groups, Italy’s reform introduced a public and universal health service, financed through general taxation, freely available to all – not just to Italian citizens, but to all those living in the country.
-
-In several areas – mental health, occupational health, women’s health, drug treatments - new knowledge on illness prevention, new practices of service delivery and innovative institutional arrangements emerged, with a strong emphasis on territorial services addressing together health and social needs.
-
-
-
-
-The intellectual guidance for Italy’s health reform came from personalities that combined strong competence and political commitment. Besides Franco Basaglia and his work on radical psychiatry, Giulio Maccacaro was the founder of ‘Medicina Democratica’, a radical health movement; Giovanni Berlinguer was a scientist and member of parliament for the Communist Party; Alessandro Seppilli was a public health specialist and Socialist mayor of the city of Perugia; Laura Conti was a key figure of the Socialist Party and pioneered the Italian environmental movement; Ivar Oddone was an occupational physician and a former partisan – he inspired a character in Italo Calvino’s first book.
-
-Out of their work, an integrated vision of health – physical and psychic, individual and collective, linked to the community and the territory – emerged. A new, less hierarchical type of doctor-patient relationship was proposed; the model of a decentralized health organization was introduced, with elements of participation; the centrality of preventive medicine over cure was emphasised. As Giulio Maccacaro had argued in 1976, the strategy was a bottom-up “politicization of medicine”, challenging the way industrial capitalism was exploiting workers and undermining health and social conditions in the country.
-
-This political strategy viewed health as combining a collective dimension and an individual condition; collective struggles were therefore needed to address the economic and social roots of disease and public health problems. This approach was paralleled by the feminist movement in addressing women's health issues, including the important experiments in self-organized health clinics.
-
-Decades of ‘managerial reforms’, cutbacks of funds and privatisation efforts have indeed lowered the standards of service, introduced ‘tickets’ paid for by patients, and led to a highly uneven capacity of services across Italy’s regions today.
-
-One of the first actions by the Italian government on March 17, 2020, when the pandemic broke out, was to increase funds for the health emergency by 3 billion euros and to hire 20,000 doctors, nurses and supporting staff. This was a recognition of past policy mistakes – cutbacks, privatisation and commodification – and of the need to fully recognise the role of universal public health as an alternative to market provision.

-# The birth of Britain's National Health Service (NHS)
-
-- SOURCES: [The Birth of the NHS](https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/features/the-birth-of-the-nhs-856091.html), Andy McSmith, *The Independent*, 28 June 2008.

-
-Serving over one and a half million patients and their families every day, the NHS (National Health Service) is the biggest service of its kind in the world. It is universally regarded as a national treasure - the most remarkable achievement of post war Britain.
-
-Yet the National Health Service very nearly did not happen at all. In the months leading to its launch it was bitterly opposed - by the Tory Party and the national press. But its most vicious and vocal opponents were the very people its existence depended on - surgeons, nurses, dentists and Britain's 20,000 doctors. To get the NHS at all required the persistence and determination of one man - Nye Bevan, Labour's minister of health.
-
-Before July 1948, Britain's 2,700 hospitals were run by charities or councils. The only people entitled to free treatment were those with jobs.
-
-In 1945, the new Labour government came in on a manifesto that promised a revolution in health care. Health minister Nye (Aneurin) Bevan, wanted to build a health service based on four principles: it was to be free at the point of use, available to everyone who needed it, paid for out of general taxation, and used responsibly.
-
-Bevan, who came from a miners' family, was inspired by the Tredegar Workers Medical Aid Society in South Wales, a pioneering mutual aid scheme which provided medical benefits, dental care and funeral expenses to its members for just pennies a week.

-
-We begin this story in the fall of 1866, with a woman named Rebecca Lee Crumpler. Rebecca Lee Crumpler is a young black woman who was born free and raised in Pennsylvania by her aunt. Her aunt was a medicine woman. She used to go from home to home tending to the sick, and Rebecca liked to tag along and to help her. She liked it so much that she went on to become a nurse, and she was so good at being a nurse that she makes the really unusual decision to go on and become a doctor. So she eventually goes to the New England Female Medical College, which is a college that was specifically built to train women in medicine, and that’s really extraordinary. Because around the time she graduates, there’s about 54,000 doctors in the country, and only 300 of them are women, and only one of those women is black. And that woman is Rebecca Lee Crumpler. And so about a year after she finishes medical school, the Civil War comes to an end, and she makes another unusual decision, which is to completely uproot her life and to head down to the South because four million people have just been released from slavery into freedom. And Crumpler knows that it’s going to be a huge challenge to help these people assimilate into society and to address their many basic needs, including health care.
-
-These were people who just literally were told, you’re free to go, but given no resources to go with. So they were forced to take up residence in abandoned prisons, former military barracks, empty churches, refugee camps. They’re crammed together in very close living quarters. They don’t have the tools necessary to maintain good hygiene. And as a result of all of this, they’re getting sick. But they can’t tap into any health care system, because at that time, there really isn’t any organized health care system to speak of. Most medical care is provided at home by family members, or by doctors who would actually visit the house. And the only hospitals that exist are much more like institutions for the very poor or for people who get sick and don’t have any family members to take care of them. And those facilities were private, and they were run by charitable groups. And when the newly emancipated turned to those facilities for help, they were turned away. They were told no. And they start dying in really high numbers, so much so that in some towns and cities, their bodies are littering the streets.
-
-This is a massive public health crisis. And so to deal with this crisis, the federal government creates what ends up being the nation’s first federal health care program. It’s called the Freedmen’s Bureau Medical Division. And this is what Rebecca Crumpler is heading south to do.
-
-One of the crazy things about the Freedmen’s Bureau Medical Division, which is, it was founded in utter ambivalence. Officials wanted their communities clean enough to prevent diseases that might eventually spread into white communities, but they don’t want to provide any free assistance, because they’re worried that it’s going to create dependency among the black American community. And so what they do is they open these hospitals, and they staff them with a few doctors. But then they close them down at the first sign of progress, and they refuse to send resources that their own doctors, including Crumpler, are requesting.
-
-As you have all of these people dying from preventable things, a theory emerges.
-
-And the theory goes that this high death rate is actually just nature taking its course. So black people aren’t dying for want of basic necessities, they’re actually dying because they’re biologically inferior to whites and ill-suited for freedom. The argument became that African-Americans specifically were literally going extinct, and that to provide any type of funding or resources to fight that would be wasteful and foolish, because you’re just trying to prevent the inevitable.
-
-So this is the first example of government-funded health care, and it is an example of something that was set up to fail.
-
-And Rebecca Lee Crumpler understands this, and she decides to write a book. It’s called the “Book of Medical Discourses in Two Parts.” And it’s not addressed to her colleagues in the white medical community or to segregationists in Congress. It’s addressed to the black community, specifically to black mothers and black nurses. And what she tells them in this book is how to take care of themselves, how to prevent diseases like cholera, how to treat basic ailments like hemorrhoids and bronchitis. And what’s so profound about this book is that she’s telling black Americans, you’re not inferior. You’re not going extinct. You can take care of yourself.
-
-
-
-
-Fast forward to January of 1947. President Truman wants a government-run health insurance program that everybody pays into ahead of time and that people can draw from when they need it.
-
-By the time Truman’s giving this address, the nation’s health care system has grown up a bit from the days right after the Civil War, but not by much. All of the hospitals that were created through the Freedmen’s Bureau have been closed down except for one that’s in Washington D.C. And other hospitals have been built, but there’s not nearly enough of them, especially in the South. And to make matters worse, the hospitals that do exist are all segregated. In fact, a “separate but equal” clause had actually been written into the law. And what that meant was black patients had to either go to their own black facilities, which were few and far between in a lot of places, or they were relegated to the basement wards of white hospitals, and those wards were small, and they did not provide as good care as you got in the white facilities.
-
-But it’s not just black Americans who are not getting enough care. It’s many poor white Americans as well. So at that time, most Americans were not insured. And the insurance that did exist was employer-based, which means you had to get a certain type of job where the employer actually offered this benefit, and then you could have it. Basically, the whole system is not working, and Truman sees this as one of the most pressing problems the country is facing. And so he decides that national health insurance is the fix.
-
-But then, days after Truman wins the election, the American Medical Association, which is the largest and arguably the most powerful professional organization for doctors in the country, launches this massive campaign to take it down. What the A.M.A. understands is that a national health insurance program is probably going to hurt their profits.
-
-The A.M.A. hired a P.R. firm. It’s actually the first political consulting firm in the country. And together, they devised this plan to completely torpedo universal health care. What it looks like is all-out war. It’s radio ads. It’s newspaper ads. It’s magazine ads. They’re delivering pamphlets and mailers to people’s homes. In the end, they send some 100 million pieces of literature all across the country. And what’s on that literature and what’s in those ads is a campaign slogan. It says, “Keep politics out of medicine.”
-
-And that campaign works. Popular support for the bill suddenly plummets. It fails to get through Congress, and the health care system the nation is left with at the end of this fight is still too expensive for most Americans to afford and as segregated as it has ever been.
-
-Medicare is actually born from the ashes of Truman’s failed national health insurance program.
-Beginning under President Kennedy and continuing under President Johnson, under Montague Cobb’s leadership, the nation’s black doctors (who had formed the National Medical Association, or the N.M.A., because they were excluded from the A.M.A.) come out in full force to support Medicare. They lead protests, they lobby Congress, and they launch their own public relations campaign explaining to the nation that, in fact, this won’t destroy medicine. This will make medicine more equitable. And their message is what it’s been for a long time: Health care is a human right, and that any program that expands access to health care is the duty of a free and democratic society. Meanwhile, the fight for civil rights is escalating all across the country outside of the medical world.
-
-Of course, that effort culminates in the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which says that discriminating on the basis of race is unconstitutional. And more specifically, it says that the government can pull federal dollars from any facility or entity that does not comply with the law, and that includes hospitals.
-
-And so Medicare passes in 1966, and what happens is within four months of implementation, nearly 3,000 hospitals desegregate. But of course, the health disparities between black Americans and white Americans persist to this day.

-# The Practice
-
-You are now ready to practice The Hologram. The following will offer you the basics. The Hologram remains a work in progress and is designed to be highly adaptable, so you are encouraged to change it and make it your own. A triangle consists of three people who accept an invitation from a hologram to make a formal commitment to supporting her health by participating in seasonal meetings. In these meetings, each member of the triangle focuses on one of the three aspects of her health: physical, psychic, social. The job of each member of the triangle is to ask really good questions, help identify the hologram’s patterns, and to support her with co-research and in-depth knowledge of her health when she needs to make big decisions.
-
-The hologram’s job is to facilitate a conversation with three people who have accepted her invitation to join the triangle. Unlike a patient being treated by a doctor, a hologram’s role is like that of a teacher, helping the Triangle to understand how she achieves her healthiest possible state and also recognize their own patterns, needs and wishes in contrast and conversation. The hologram shares their personal stories, their powers of communication, and their well-articulated vulnerability to teach the triangle how to care for and with her. She shows great respect and gratitude for the members of the triangle, and is also observant of their needs and desires, helping them to become better at offering useful questions.
-
-This guide is written for holograms seeking to assemble triangles, but can also be used for triangle members seeking to find holograms.
-
-## How Will You Identify People For Your Triangle?
-No one knows what will work until it does. Invite people who make you feel comfortable, whose attention and care you enjoy, and people who would like to do it for you. Additionally, you might ask yourself these questions before deciding who to invite:
-
-* Do I want the members to know each other?
-* Do I want to see the members of the Triangle on a daily basis?
-* Do I want the members to all be local?
-* Do I want to use this as an opportunity to develop new relationships, or to add a new layer to already existing relationships?
-
-Finally:
-* “Oh no, I invited the wrong person out of cruel optimism about them or us and it was a bad idea. How do I get rid of them and pick a new person?! We recommend that you provide a trial period where you can experience the group for 1-2 sessions with the awareness among the group members that if the dynamic of the group is not great, there will be a chance to change the group.
-
-## How Much Personal Information do I reveal?
-You can decide. Whether we are online, on the phone, or at work, we are constantly warned to protect our privacy, but it is hard to keep in mind what we are guarding it from. The truth is that there are many types of predators who are seeking to profit off of our information and our vulnerabilities, but those individuals and corporations are not here in this triangle. The goal is to learn to trust, and to want to share as much information as is necessary (but maybe not more) to help your triangle understand where you are coming from and where you may be going, so they can go there with you!
-
-## How Do I Reciprocate?
-Reciprocation is somewhat automatic in this project, but is not a one-for-one exchange, like paying for a hot dog. For The Hologram project to really work, every person must be a hologram as well as a member of someone else’s triangle (not for someone in your triangle, though). The most important healing that you will receive from this project is when you successfully care for someone else. This networked reciprocation means that you will not be directly giving back what you receive from your triangle, but you will be a part of a larger cycle of reciprocation and the production of health, which can never be transactional. For this reason, it is the calling of each hologram to proactively help her triangle all find their own triangles and become holograms themselves. She must also seek to become part of a triangle for someone not in her triangle. The hologram can reciprocate by virally reproducing The Hologram.
-
-## Important Things for The Triangle to Remember
-1. While it is possible that someone might have a medical or social work background, no one in a triangle is an expert, and no one should pretend to be. Being in a triangle is not about offering professional medical advice, it is about learning to ask supportive and transformative questions.
-2. While The Hologram is about asking questions, the triangle members one should not
-disappear their own stories, their needs, or their wisdom. Triangle members are welcome to share anecdotes and stories from their lives that might help the hologram see their situation and clearly state their personal needs.
-3. The triangle, with the hologram, will make group decisions, and will structure the way the group meets.
-4. When called upon in an emergency or a pressing situation, the triangle can choose to
-show up to support The Hologram as individuals or as a trio. The triangle becomes most
-active when the hologram needs to make a big decision. This is when all the accrued knowledge of the triangle, about the hologram, and notes, become valuable. In an emergency, the triangle may support the hologram by providing in-person support, accompaniment to or coaching for important appointments, and cooperative research. The goal of the triangle is to back the hologram to make good decisions with support.
-
-## What Role Does Each Person Play?
-A Hologram begins when the hologram and triangle agree to meet for a certain period of
-time at a certain frequency: once a week for a month; once a month for three months; around the solstices and equinoxes for two years; on the hologram’s birthday for the rest of her life. It might make sense to begin with a shorter period of more frequent meetings then change later, or, if the group does not gel, to reform the triangle with new members. But The Hologram works best when practiced consistently over a long period of time to facilitate pattern recognition and transformation. Within the given period, the three members of the triangle will select one area of focus in the meetings with the hologram. One person will focus on asking questions and taking notes on one of the three zones of health: the physical (body), the psychic (mental, emotional, intellectual), and the social (relationships, work, money, housing). Of course, these health zones of each person are completely entangled and overlapping, and the conversation will be, too. The important thing is that there is a member of the triangle to hold the awareness of each of the various zones of health, who can watch for patterns and feel when something is going well or not. We have not yet experimented with rotating roles within the Triangle, but that is an option.
-
-## What if I Want to Quit? What if I Want Someone Else to Quit?
-The group should decide what to do in the event that one of the members of the triangle wants to quit. Because the project is about constructing new experiences of trust and cooperation, it is ideal if the group can adapt to support each member to stay in a healthy way. When that cannot happen, there needs to be an exit plan in place, wherein the triangle member that exits is replaced, and that the new member is welcomed into the group with care and patience. This exit strategy should be discussed at the first meeting of the Hologram.
-
-## How do we Keep Notes and Records?
-This is up to your group (including the Hologram) to decide. The notes are a tool for the future, to help you remember when something that occurred in the past and help everyone recognize patterns and habits that can only become clear in hindsight. Well-labeled and organized notes can be really useful. The notes can be shared among everyone in the group, or just kept to individuals who wrote them. Since some people find drawings and diagrams more useful, we have built some tools for how to organize and document some patterns visually. Notes can go into a shared folder online if you feel safe doing so, and we are making a safe space for that to happen.
-
-## When do I Become a Hologram?
-As we described in the Time section of the course, each member of the triangle will become a Hologram. This means you will invite three people to make a Triangle for you, and begin the process again. We recommend that this happens shortly after your second or third successful meeting supporting your original Hologram. This is something you can and should discuss with the Hologram you care for. Since you support her, it is in her best interest to support you in getting the care you need.
-
-## Initial group decisions to make
-
-* How will the hologram meet? (Online, in person, where, and by what platform?)
-* How long will this Hologram continue?
-* How frequently will the Hologram meet?
-* How long will each meeting be?
-* How do you want the session to feel and what needs to happen to produce that feeling?
-* How should a meeting begin? How should it end?
-* How should notes be kept?
-* What if someone wants to leave the group, or people can’t work together?
-* How will you deal with conflict?
-* Can the triangle meet without the hologram?

-title: "Part Three: Time"
----
-
-# Part three: Time
-
-**We don’t have time for this!**
-
-Time is the number one barrier to participation in The Hologram project, with good reason: we guard our time against anything that could chip away at the hours and energy we are made to dedicate to work, pleasure or survival. Under capitalism, time has become the most valuable commodity we have, outside of our body. As capitalism becomes more and more punishing and demanding, we have less and less time to imagine a different future. We’ve even heard people say that the ability to “imagine” something outside of work and survival is a “privilege.”
-But as we’ve already seen, capitalism is, among other things, a brilliant technology of weaponized avoidance. For our purposes, it helps us avoid at least three basic truths:
- 1. Humans are fundamentally cooperative and interdependent
- 2. We live on land and are part of that land
- 3. We will die
-
-What would it mean to live without forgetting these truths? Our time would be very different. If we focused on learning how to cooperate without coercion we would have to reorganize what we produce, how we produce it, and why. If we acknowledged that we lived on land, and that land was alive, and we are a part of it, we would laugh at the absurdity of the concept of private property. If we lived our whole lives embracing the knowledge that we will die, we would better consider future generations as we made decisions. We might spend our whole lives carefully considering our uses of materials and time, knowing that our collective material and social traces produce the next generations’ world. We would recognize that the now-dead once did so for our benefit. We would know that, when we die, we become each others’ soil.
-If we remembered and believed these three truths, how would we spend our time? What would our relationships look like? Where would we live and how? What would be our “work” and how would we be valued?
-
-
-### How and why The Hologram wastes your time
-
-The Hologram aims to train us to create and live in a post-capitalist future, when work (as in labour exploited for a wage) is abolished. We will still need to cooperate, but in new ways, motivated by the above truths, not the need for someone else to profit and for us all to compete. When liberated from being confined to a “job,” how would we express and share our passions, skills, powers and dreams? In post-capitalism, we will all contribute our time and energy, but likely in very different ways.
-Today, for many of the readers of this text, participation in the Hologram feels like an impossible time commitment in an already over-busy life, but this is exactly why you should try it. It is a practice for liberating time, though it also takes time. It does so for participants at all stages. The following walks you through three phases of one’s participation to explain.
-
-### You are the hologram
-We suggest that you who are reading this begin participating in The Hologram by inviting three people to act as your Triangle. You, the Hologram, facilitates a conversation where your group decides who should play what role (who is in charge of asking about and holding social, mental/emotional, and physical health information). Next you decide together how long this experiment will last. When will you meet, and for how long?
-
-> *Sample plan: You may meet on the first Wednesday of every third month, or on the day after the seasons change four times per year. You may start with a one year commitment to this process, or something else. Perhaps you meet for two hours each session. This seems possible, right?*
-
-Consider what this would do to your sense of time. The Hologram is an impractical and life-giving social planning technology. How far in the future are you able to imagine right now? What in your life will be in place in three months, in six months, in two years? It may be scary to look into the future. If it isn’t, you may be delusional. In such an unpredictable time, it is hard to know what will remain of our current lives in the future. But if we don’t begin to construct some ideas and practices that will shape our future in ways that serve us, then tech corporations, banks, right wing governments and other anti-social saboteurs will have a complete run of it.
-The Hologram model asks us to put a formal agreement together with people in our community that will extend, outlandishly, into the future. Beyond the multiple overlapping crises that we will face, we can make commitments that structure our future selves and give us a sense of belonging no matter where we are. Making a decade-long plan with your friends seems like heresy while we work daily to survive a deranged and predatory economy, alone and alienated, unable to prepare for the next crisis. This is exactly why you may want to commit to spending a few years with The Hologram, with your triangle.
-
-### You care for your caretakers
-
-Being cared for, and being a hologram is never a one-way street. In order to receive care from other people, it is crucial that you help ensure that those people are cared for. It is not optional, it is required. So, in one of your early meetings you, the hologram, must help your triangle consider the timeline in which they will become holograms and develop their own triangles of support.
-
-> *Sample plan: During your second Hologram meeting, the hologram proposes that each of the members of her triangle begin to invite three people to be their triangle/supports, to make themselves a hologram. It is agreed upon that this will take place before the next meeting. You talk together about what would make for a good triangle member.*
-
-As a practicing hologram, you have created and fulfilled a role for yourself that does not yet exist in our society. In this post-capitalist “job”, in being vulnerable and open to receiving care, you are the expert and the teacher. No one knows more than you about what makes you healthy. Just like starting a new job, you have to create a workspace that is appropriate for the work you need to do. So, it is your job to arrange and coordinate the triangle. Under capitalism, this kind of work is not valued. We value it in The Hologram.
-
-If time is money, then being the hologram, or participating in a Hologram, is like burning money. It’s a sacrifice that reveals your divestment from the accelerationist value system. Through the sacrifice we become different animals that can survive and see beyond the current economic landscape. If we use this collective work as an excuse to disentangle from capitalism’s way of valuing our time, and valuing us, we may begin to see what we are or what we could become without it. How would you identify yourself if you never had to have a “job” again? What would you do all day if you didn’t need to “work” in order to live? How would you value your time if it was disconnected from money? How would you cooperate and contribute if you could do so in the way and in the conditions you chose? What would your role be in the post-work, post-capital future? What would a satisfying day look like?
-
-### You become triangular
-
-When the three members of your triangle each have transitioned to holograms with their own triangle supporting them, it is your chance to transform into a caretaker within someone else’s Hologram. This is the pinnacle of The Hologram project.
-Sample plan: in your third meeting, you, as hologram, inquire if the three members of your triangle have established themselves as holograms. If so, you can ask for their help to become a member of a triangle for a new Hologram. Maybe the new hologram is a co-worker or friend you’ve told about the project, somebody who understand the point of the project is solidarity, not charity. As a future member, you shouldn’t organize a new hologram’s triangle for them, but you can help and offer suggestions. It is important that each hologram take the initiative and responsibility to organize their Hologram and triangle.
-
-## Questions for consideration
-A. In the world we want to create, how will we value our time? Do we measure it? Do we even know it is there? What would we do all the time? How will we value ourselves and each other?
-B. What will your post-capitalist “job” be?
-
-## Activity 4
-Write, walk, think, or draw as you imagine 10 years in the future. If that is overwhelming, here are some questions to help you distill your thoughts.
-
-* What do you know about yourself and your situation at that time?
-* What do you not know about yourself and your situation at that time?
-* What do you look forward to taking place between now and then?
-* What do you fear may take place between now and then?
-* What can you plan?
-* What will make you feel prepared to handle what is coming?
-* What do you wish for yourself?
-* Why? What’s underneath that desire?
-* What do you wish for you and for everyone?
-* How can you be best prepared to make that possible?
-
-*Please do not avoid the global, political, and environmental situation, and your connection to community and society in your thoughts*
-
-## Activity 5
-How did you stay together with your Triangle for 10 years? Write, walk, think, or draw as you imagine 10 years in the future as a Hologram. If that is overwhelming, here are some questions to help you distill your thoughts.
-
-Imagine that you found three people to be in your Hologram, and that you stayed together for 10 years. They each had their own Hologram. You were also part of someone else’s Triangle, maybe two people’s. There is a sense of trust between people, but also something more specific. These are new kinds of relationships that are formal, sustainable and warm. You feel like you are part of something that is different than your previous experiences of family, friendships, work relations, social movements, or professional caretakers. When you are caring for your Hologram, you feel like you are part of something larger.
-
-* How did you stay together with your Triangle for 10 years?
-* What skills did you personally develop to make this possible?
-* What are the benefits, to you, of having been in this group for so long?
-* What are the challenges you already faced together with your triangle?
-* What kinds of processes did you have to develop, and skills did the group have to learn, in order to do this?
-* How does it feel to imagine having this role in the Hologram, versus not having it?

-title: "Housing and Maintenance Struggles"
----
-# Poor design or disinvestment?
-
-Architectural critic Charles Jencks famously wrote that “modern architecture died in St Louis, Missouri on July 15, 1972, at 3.32 pm” when the public housing estate Pruitt Igoe was demolished. In public narratives the design was the one to be blamed for the failure of public housing. In reality, it was disinvestment that created poor maintenance, together with subsidies for individual housing loans. One of the most notorious cases of disinvestment in maintenance has been the case of the Grenfell tower in London. Due to cheap flammable cladding that was used in the refurbishment process, many working-class people lost their lives in the fire.
-
-Nevertheless, maintenance is not only the issue of public housing. In the private rental sector, for instance, investment in maintenance can be regarded as a sign of a new increase in rental prices. Struggles that have addressed the issue of maintenance range from rent strikes to protest and movements against gentrification. Though maintenance hasn’t been spoken about a lot in the past, it is important to recognize that it is as an important factor in housing struggles worldwide.
-
-## Proposed resources
-
-- 
-- **How poor maintenance can cause deaths:** 
-- **How we organize against demolition and displacement:** 
-
-## How to learn together
-
-Read the proposed articles and look into the proposed resources before you come to the session. Organize a collective self-interview. Create a list of questions related to housing maintenance. The questions could tackle issues such as the changing situation at your housing estate, your opinions about the issues that you have read about in the proposed resources, your proposals and solutions etc. Make a round for each question. Make detailed notes. Share your self-interview with other Pirate Care Syllabus users.

-# Let's learn together
-
-## Step 1: Introduction to people (25 min.)
-
-Ask participants to introduce themselves and the reasons why they need to share childcare. Encourage all to be as specific as possible about their circumstances.
-
-## Step 2: Introduction to neighbourhood (25 min.)
-
-Introduce yourself to each other in relation to the neighbourhood. What you know about it? Which spaces and people can be helpful for the project? Where are the green areas? And so on. Be as specific as possible.
-
-## Step 3: Let’s read (30 min.)
-
-Read the Introduction and Chapter 5 of the book “How To Build A Pirate Kindergarten In Your Neighbourhood” (link) together.
-
-## Step 4: Making Consensus (60 min.)
-
-Take the print-outs of [QUIZZ 1](/topic/commoningcare/howtobuildapiratekindergarten/tools/6.QUITZ-01.jpg), [QUIZZ 2](/topic/commoningcare/howtobuildapiratekindergarten/tools/6.QUITZ-02.jpg), [QUIZZ 3](/topic/commoningcare/howtobuildapiratekindergarten/tools/6.QUITZ-03.jpg), [QUIZZ 4](/topic/commoningcare/howtobuildapiratekindergarten/tools/6.QUITZ-04.jpg), [QUIZZ 5](/topic/commoningcare/howtobuildapiratekindergarten/tools/6.QUITZ-05.jpg) and [QUIZZ 6](/topic/commoningcare/howtobuildapiratekindergarten/tools/6.QUITZ-06.jpg). If you are more than ten, divide into smaller groups. You are asked to collectively discuss the statements. Be aware that the statements are not right or wrong per se, the scope is to collectively discuss them in order to find what your specific community believe is right or wrong for you. Also, be aware that ethics can change while practising :)
-
-
-## Step 5: Self-organizing is sexy (30 min.)
-
-Take a print-out of [MAP 6-1](/topic/commoningcare/howtobuildapiratekindergarten/tools/6.MAP-01.jpg) and analyse it together, then divide into smaller groups and make a blueprint of a potential organizational map according to what the people involved and your neighbourhood need. Regroup and discuss. Remember to take photos of the maps and keep them for further steps.
-
-## Step 6: Self-organizing is very very sexy (30 min.)
-
-Now take a print-out of [MAP 6-1](/topic/commoningcare/howtobuildapiratekindergarten/tools/6.MAP-01.jpg) and analyse it together, then divide into smaller groups and write down a list of the offline tools needed to start the project. Regroup and discuss. Remember to take photos of the maps to keep for further steps.
-
-## Step 7: Conclusions (10 min.)
-
-Say goodbye to everybody and be happy because you have started to think together about a common solution to childcare and you are therefore involved in a process of ethical decision making. This is great!
-But before you split, remember:
-- To schedule the next appointment;
-- That the booklet “How To Build A Pirate Kindergarten In Your Neighbourhood” suggested here is not a model. Each community and context will find the best ways to answer its own needs and desires. In fact, one-approach-fits-all-solutions do not exist.
-- Just have fun, listen to people and take care of the planet!

-
-# Setting up a DIY (or better a DIWO) Radio
-
-## Requirements
-
-### Server side
-
-You need a computer machine (personal computer, server, VPS, etc.) that will relay the audio signal to the listeners. The audio signal (e.g. music files played) is sent from your computer to that server, which makes the stream available for others to listen to (in ogg or mp3 formats). That is a broddcast.
-
-We use [icecast2](https://www.icecast.org/) to send (via a virutal private service) a signal to a server running the free [Debian](https://www.debian.org/) operating system.
-
-### Client side
-
-We use [mixxx](https://www.mixxx.org), a free software that allows you to play and mix music, but also to record and send audio to the [icecast](https://www.icecast.org/) server.
-
-### Microphones and vocals
-To add voice, one or more microphones must be connected to the local Client side machine that runs mixxx. You will need an external sound card connected via a USB port.
-
-### Remote audio connection
-To add a remote audio connection, such as a phone call, you will need to attach a telephone patch, connected to an ATA with a VoIP connection, to the external sound card, or use a software such as [jitsi](https://jitsi.org/).
-
-If you also want to receive calls, perhaps from those who are not in front of a computer, you will need to have a telephone line, or a [DID](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_inward_dial) phone number (a VoIP connection is ok), and then send the audio signal to mixxx via hardware (phone attached to the sound card) or software (jitsi).

-## Setup
-
-### Notes from a live radio broadcast
-
-A GNU/Linux computer is connected to the Internet (via cable, WiFi or a smartphone hotspot). We use Mixxx to run and mix a playlist of tracks. Connected to the PC via USB we have an external microphone (or a sound card with multiple microphones). In Mixxx we can adjust volumes, superimpose audio tracks, open mics. Mixxx software receives the audio signal from the mic and finally sends the mixed audio to Icecast2 server. Icecast2 receives the audio and broadcast the signal (making it available to many listeners) through a link, on port 8000, with the name you choose (mount-point) and the file extension of the chosen audio format (e.g. mp3 or ogg).
-
-http://abbiamoundominio.org:8000/lottomarzo.mp3
-
-During the transmission, we can add other audio files to the playlist, for instance, from the Telegram, if Telegram-desktop runs on the same computer as Mixxx. Just save the audio file and add it to the playlist, otherwise the audio files can be moved from one computer to another using a USB thumbdrive. The computer records the mixed audio signal (transmission) in the .mp3 format (for archiving or podcasting pruposes).

-- FAQ
-
-
-# FAQ
-
-- It is better to use Mp3 or Ogg?
-
-> Today Ogg is a freer format than Mp3, but not all smartphones are able to listen to a stream in Ogg format by default.
-
-- Why does the link contain: 8000?
-
-> Because the stream goes through the port 8000, as the default web port (the 80) is already in use by the website. The choice of using 8000 or 72945 is up to you (just don't use an already used port). 8000 is easier to remember.
-
-- Am I obliged to use Mixxx?
-
-> Of course not, if you just have to transmit live audio (without jingles) you can use [Butt](http://danielnoethen.de/butt/).
-
-- Can I do all this without a server?
-
-> Ideally, yes. But you should have a very powerful computer. Moreover, to be reachable for listeners, you must have a public IP network address.
-
-- Can I do everything with a smartphone?
-
-> A smartphone is indeed an audio recorder connected to the Internet. There are apps that allow you to send the audio signal live to an Icecast2 server, like [Coolmic](https://coolmic.net/).
-
-- Where can I find an Icecast2 server?
-
-> Icecast2 is a free software, you can install it on your server or on a server made available by a collective such as [Streampunk](https://streampunk.cc/), [Giss Tv](http://giss.tv/) or [Unit hacklab](https://abbiamoundominio.org).
-
-- I have made an audio (or video) transmission, where can I upload it in order to listen and share it?
-
-> We currently recommend [Internet Archive](https://archive.org/).
-
-- Why the name of the domain is Siamoundominio.org?
-
-> The name of the Internet domain was chosen to criticise the domain name system of the World Wide Web.

-# Razlozi za organiziranje pomoći
-
-Najvažnija mjera koju ljudi pojedinačno mogu poduzeti kako bi smanjili širenje zaraze i smrtnost jest izbjegavanje bliskog kontakta, rad od doma i kućna izolacija. Oni koji pripadaju rizičnim skupina (to su osobe koje su starije od 60 godina i/ili boluju od kroničnih bolesti poput bolesti srca i krvožilnog sustava, visokog ili niskog tlaka, dijabetesa, plućnih bolesti ili poremećaja imunološkog sustava), ne bi trebali izlaziti iz kuće i trebali bi izbjegavati bliski kontakt s drugim ljudima (2 metra u zatvorenom prostoru, 1 metar na otvorenom). Oni koji su nedavno putovali, ili imaju blaže simptome, ili su im određene mjere samoizolaciji da ostanu, prema trenutnim [uputama](https://www.koronavirus.hr/sto-znaci-samoizolacija-i-kako-je-provoditi/84) ne smiju izlaziti iz kuće osim u krajnjoj nuždi. Svi ostali, ako nemaju obavezu odlaska na radno mjesto, moraju svesti izlaske na nužnu nabavu. Time smanjujemo daljnje širenje zaraze.
-
-Međutim, kućna izolacija ima za posljedicu niz komplikacija kako redovito nabavljati hranu, lijekove, sanitarne i druge potrošne proizvode, kao i komplikacije pri obavljanju drugih rutinskih zadataka kao što je iznošenje smeća ili skupljanje pošte. Kućna izolacija iziskuje značajnu reorganizaciju načina svakodnevnog života. A k tome produženo stanje izoliranosti može dovesti i do dezorijentacije, potrebe za društvenim kontaktnom i emocionalnih teškoća.
-
-Ako niste u rizičnoj skupini i želite organizirati grupu ili zasebno pomoći članovima obitelji, prijateljima, susjedima ili naprosto strancima, ovo su stvari koje trebate razmotriti kako biste izradili scenarij kako im pomoći u zadovoljavanju njihovih potreba tijekom kućne izolacije:
-
-# Informirajte da ste spremni pomoći
-
-Osobe u izolaciji možete informirati da ste im spremni pomoći tako da postavite poruku na ulazu u zgradu, ostavite im poruku ispod ili pored vrata, ili ih nazovete. Možete oglasiti svoju spremnost i na društvenim mrežama ili mrežnoj stranici, ali krenite od pretpostavke da starije osobe možda ne koriste internet, dakle primarno ovise o papiru i telefonu. Ostavite broj kontakta i neke minimalne podatke o sebi ili svojoj grupi kako bi ljudi imali povjerenja obratiti vam se. Ako oni ne trebaju pomoć, sugerirajte im da mogu informirati prijatelje i obitelj koji bi mogli trebati pomoć da vi nudite pomoć.
-
-Inicijalna poruka može glasiti ovako (temeljeno na poruci koju je sastavila Facebook grupa [Ljudi za ljude](https://www.facebook.com/ljudizaljude/photos/a.308657829923799/633693170753595/?type=3&theater):

-# Što treba imati na umu pri pripremi pomoći
-
-Kada pripremate pomoć osobi u kućnoj izolaciji, uzmite u obzir sljedeće:
-- Da proučite kroz preporuke [što možete učinit za sebe i za svoje bližnje](https://www.hzjz.hr/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Dodatne-upute-za-pojedince-kolektive-i-poslodavce.pdf), [Vladine preporuke za starije osobe](https://www.koronavirus.hr/sto-moram-znati/o-zivotu/185), [naputke o samoizolaciji](https://www.koronavirus.hr/sto-znaci-samoizolacija-i-kako-je-provoditi/84) i [preporuku za oboljele s blagom kličkom slikom](https://www.hzjz.hr/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Kucna_izolacija_za_potvrdjene_1.pdf) i to prođete s obobom u kućnoj izolaciji kako bi razumjela kako trebaju organizirati život tijekom kućne izolacije i da bi ga mogli tako organizirati?
-- Što joj treba kupiti? Možete li to naručiti preko internetske dostave ili je bolje da joj vi dostavite te potrepštine?
-- Ima li dovoljno higijenskih sredstva poput sapuna i sredstava za dizinfekciju površina? Imaju li sredstva za pranje posuđa i pranje rublja?
-- Ima li lijekove koje treba? Treba li liječnički recept? Možete li joj vi preuzeti i donijeti lijek iz apoteke? Ima li maske, sapun i sredstva za dezinfekciju? Ima li toplomjer te lijekove za snižavanje temperature i kašalj?
-- Može li pripremiti vlastiti obrok ili treba pomoć? Možete li joj vi pripremiti obrok? Ili pomoći joj da dogovori dostavu hrane iz restorana, pučke kuhinje ili solidarne kuhinje?
-- Treba li joj iznijeti smeće ili podići poštu?
-- Ima li kućnog ljubimca kojeg treba izvesti u šetnju?
-- Ima li gotovine? Zna li plaćati preko interneta? Ima li osobu od povjerenja koja joj može podići novac? Treba li financijsku pomoć?
-- Kako biste smanjili vlastito kretanje, planirajte i pokušajte obaviti nabavke za nekoliko dana odjednom.
-
-# Što treba imati na umu pri dostavi stvari
-
-Kada osobi u izolaciji dostavljate stvari, pridržavajte se sljedećeg:
-
-- Izbjegavajte bliski kontakt (u zatvorenom prostoru razmak od 2 metra, na otvorenom razmak od 1 metra, kontakt treba biti kratak) kako biste spriječili prijenos virusa zrakom. Najbolje ostavite stvari pred njenim vratima tako da ih ona preuzme jednom kad ste se odmakli na adekvatnu distancu. Ona isto može učiniti sa smećem ili bilo čime što treba predati vama.
-- Ako ne možete izbjeći bliski kontakt, osoba u izolaciji treba nositi masku. Ako nema masku, prvo joj ostavite masku. U suprotnom držite razmak od barem dva metra i interakciju kratkom.
-- Pažljivo baratajte stvarima kako biste izbjegli prijenos virusa preko površina. Ako imate čiste vrećice i jednokratne rukavice, upotrijebite ih. Koristite ih pri primopredaji.
-
-# Što treba imati na umu ako imate osobu u izolaciji u vašem kućanstvu
-
-Osobe koje moraju biti u izolaciji, bilo iz razloga što su (možda) zaražene ili pripadaju rizičnim skupinama, često žive u zajedničkom domaćinstvu s drugim osobama. Za djecu, starije, teže bolesne, nemoćne ili osobe s invaliditetom koji ovise o pomoći drugih, ali žive u situacijama gdje takvu pomoć ne mogu pružiti institucije i kvalificirani njegovatelji/-ce, preporučeno održavanje distance i izolacija nisu jednostavno izvedivi i dalje će morati dolaziti do bliskog kontakta. Ako imate osobu u izolaciji u vašem kućanstvu ili ste njegovatelj/-ica u istom kućanstvu, pridržavajte se [preporuke za oboljele s blagom kličkom slikom](https://www.hzjz.hr/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Kucna_izolacija_za_potvrdjene_1.pdf).
-
-U situacijama zajedničkog domaćinstva ili osoba koje trebaju njegu, pridržavajte se ovih preporuka:
-- Izolirana osoba se treba smjestiti i ograničiti u zasebnu prostoriju. Prostoriju redovito prozračujte i dizinficirajte.
-- Izolirana bi osoba, po mogućnosti, trebala koristiti zasebne sanitarne prostorije. U suprotnom zajedničke saniterne prostorije treba dezinficirati nakon korištenja.
-- Osoba u izolaciji ne bi smjela dolaziti u kontakt s osobama u kućanstvu koje spadaju u kritične skupine.
-- Ako osoba u izolaciji treba pomoć negovatelja/-ica, ograničite njegovatelje/-ce na što manji broj osoba. Ako je osoba zaražena, pazite da njegovatelji/-ce ne spadaju u rizičnu skupinu.
-- Njegovatelji/-ce trebaju održavati razmak (od najmanje dva metra) ako ne pružaju izravnu pomoć, koristiti masku dok su u istoj prostoriji, koristiti jednokratne rukavice, prati ruke prije i nakon svakog kontakta.
-- Redovito dezinficirajte površine i zasebno odvajajte otpatke, pogotovo maramice i ostale kontaminirane otpatke. Držite kontaminirani otpad zavezan u plastičnoj vrećici u prostoriji gdje je osoba u izolaciji i zasebno ga iznesite neposredno prije skupljanja otpada.
-- Odvojite zasebno suđe i pribor za jelo i zasebno ga perite i dezinficirajte.
-- Odvojite posteljinu, ručnike i rublje, držite ga u zasebnoj vrećici, perite ga zasebno, redovito i na višoj temperaturi.
-
-# Održavajte redovni kontakt i pružite emocionalnu podršku
-
-Redovito se čujte s osobom u izolaciji. Slušajte je i angažirajte je u razgovor. Imajte i sljedeće na umu:
-- Ima li sve što joj treba? Je li zdravstveno dobro? Treba li liječničku pomoć?
-- Ako osoba boravi duže vrijeme u izolaciji od društva, možda joj treba kontakt i emocionalna podrška. Budite spremni provesti neko vrijeme u razgovoru s njom i razumijevanju kako se osjećaju i kako se nose sa situacijom.
-- Ako smatrate da emocionalno nije dobro, imajte spreman [kontakt telefon za psihološku pomoć](https://www.hzjz.hr/priopcenja-mediji/113-novi-pozivni-centar-za-sva-pitanja-vezana-uz-koronavirus/) i savjetujte joj da potraži savjet psihologa.
-- Ako se želite informirati kako pružiti autonomnu emocionalnu pomoć možete pogledati materijale u temi  u našem silabusu Piratske skrbi.

-# Activist Burnout, Trauma within Radical Movements
-
-When resisting forces of domination (from the state, capitalism, patriarchy, coloniolism, the border, etc.) you will be met with repressive forms of violence. Sometimes that comes in the form of physical attacks and real violence, sometimes it comes in the form of psychological warfare. In this session, we want to look at some of the implications of this repressive strategy and some of the ways people have come up with for combatting it or thriving despite it.
-

-## Discussion
-
-- In what ways does state repression manifest as psychological warfare? What are some concrete and documented examples of this that you are aware of? What are the intended impacts of this and how might we work to combat it?
-- The experience of trauma itself does not lead to longterm expression of PTSD symptoms in every case. What are some factors (of the individual, their situation, the event, the follow up from the event, etc.) that might make the experience of trauma more harmful? What are some of the most important things to keep in mind as trauma pass through our world?

-# Two Perspectives on Accountability
-
-Accountability is an ever-elusive principle that we constantly aspire to develop and understand within ourselves and our communities. Why is it so hard? Here we have summarized some of the ongoing conversation around it by presenting two ways accountability can be conceptualized. First is the view that seems common in activist, anarchist, queer, feminist communities. Accountability that is seen as a response to harm, something often invoked as a process for negotiating that of accountability as something that's primarily invoked when one person harms another, often in the form of abuse and sexual violence. Second is accountability as an ongoing practice of care, which may open up some new possibilities and directions.
-
-## Accountability as a reaction to harm
-
-- **Accountability as a reaction to harm**: the accountability process, the conceptualization of accountability as something that can be demanded and taken, the uncomfortable similarities between these negotiations and the carceral system, and the failed processes that only magnify harm.
- - 
- - A collection of articles about various anarchist responses to abuse and interpersonal violence, including transformative justice in practice, an analysis of accountability processes, and reports from those who've chosen instead to directly confront rapists.
- - 
- - This zine looks at the ways rape culture persists in anarchist scenes and how accountability processes often fail to confront abuse in any meaningful way.
- - " particularly the intro and "Safety is an Illusion"
- - A collection of writings on disillusionment with the concept of accountability as it's expressed, expected, and practiced in radical scenes. This can be a difficult piece and I include it here not because I agree with all its contents or approaches, but because it's important to get at the visceral disappointment and rage that many feel over the failure of "accountability" as it's typically been implemented.
- - > The typical proposal for responding to rape, the community accountability process, is based on a transparent lie. There are no activist communities, only the desire for communities, or the convenient fiction of communities. A community is a material web that binds people together, for better and for worse, in interdependence. If its members move away every couple years because the next place seems cooler, it is not a community. If it is easier to kick someone out than to go through a difficult series of conversations with them, it is not a community. Among the societies that had real communities, exile was the most extreme sanction possible, tantamount to killing them. On many levels, losing the community and all the relationships it involved was the same as dying. Let’s not kid ourselves: we don’t have communities.
-
-## Accountability as a harm reduction
-
-- **Accountability as harm reduction***: removed from a model that implicitly positions accountability as punishment, we can start to see it as the building material of interpersonal relationships, of care and affinity towards those we exist in community with (however we define that). The task of addressing harm is never easy, but perhaps when we're approaching it from a foundation of practicing accountability as care for one another, it can be less devastating.
- - "The Secret Joy of Accountability: Self-accountability as a Building Block for Change" by Shannon Perez-Darby, from *The Revolution Starts At Home*
- - *"So often, people jump to an external definition of accountability that is about other people assuming responsibility for their actions rather than imagining accountability as an internal process where each of us examines our own behaviors and choices so that we can better reconcile those choices with our own values. I define (self) accountability as a process of taking responsibility for your choices and the consequences of those choices."*
- - what is harm reduction? in the context of substance use, here's the Harm Reduction Coalition's definition: 
- - 
-
-## Discussion
-
-- Choose a principle of harm reduction, either from the list linked above or your own experience. How can it be applied to mental health and emotional support? What might that look like in practice?
-- What are some conditions that need to be met for accountability to be put into practice?
-- Think about your own interpersonal relationships: what are a few ways you practice accountability that aren't a reaction to harm?

-# Logica per l'organizzazione dell'assistenza
-
-La cosa più significativa che le persone possono fare per ridurre la diffusione del virus e la mortalità è praticare il distanziamento fisico e l'autoisolamento. Tutte le persone appartenenti a gruppi a rischio (oltre i 60 anni e/o affetti da patologie croniche come malattie cardiovascolari e cardiache, pressione sanguigna alta o bassa, diabete, malattie polmonari o del sistema immunitario), le persone che hanno recentemente viaggiato in zone di contagio o le persone con sintomi sospetti a cui il medico ha consigliato l'isolamento, sono altamente consigliate di restare a casa e di evitare il contatto con gli/le altri/e. In tal modo, si evita il rischio di essere infettati/e o di infettare gli/le altri/e.
-
-L'autoisolamento, tuttavia, crea ostacoli significativi per garantire la fornitura regolare di cibo, medicine, articoli da casa e altri materiali di consumo, nonché ostacoli nel partecipare a compiti di routine come estrarre la spazzatura o raccogliere la posta. Ciò implica una revisione radicale del modo in cui coloro che sono isolati/e dovranno organizzare la propria vita. Le condizioni di isolamento potrebbero quindi portare a disorientamento, mancanza di contatto sociale e difficoltà emotive.
-
-Se non fai parte di un gruppo a rischio e desideri organizzarti come gruppo o come individuo per assistere i tuoi familiari, amici/he, vicini/e o estranei, ecco le cose che puoi prendere in considerazione per creare pratiche attraverso cui assistere queste persone nelle esigenze che nascono durante l'isolamento domestico:
-
-# Fai sapere che sei pronto ad aiutare!
-
-Fai sapere che puoi fornire assistenza chiamandoli/e, lasciando un biglietto sotto la porta o attaccando un biglietto all'ingresso dell'edificio. Puoi anche pubblicizzarlo sui social media o su una pagina Web, ma tieni a mente che gli/le anziani/e potrebbero non essere esperti/e di Internet, quindi fai affidamento principalmente alla carta e al telefono. Non dimenticare di lasciare il tuo numero di telefono nel biglietto. Aggiungi anche che sei disposto/a a dare assistenza ad altre persone e, quindi, che sono liberi/e di informare, laddove lo ritenessero necessario, i/le loro amici/he e familiari in zona.
-
-# Cosa devi sapere quando si organizza l'assistenza
-
-Quando organizzi l'assistenza assicurati di:
-
-- Segui la persona che si trova in isolamento seguendo le [linee guida](https://www2.hse.ie/conditions/coronavirus/self-isolation-and-limited-social-interaction.html) intorno a ciò che si può fare durante l'isolamento domestico e ciò di cui si ha bisogno per organizzare la propria vita in isolamento.
-- Chiediti di quali cose le persone in isolamento hanno bisogno. Puoi ordinarle online oppure è meglio che sia tu stesso/a a provvedere?
-- Hanno le medicine di cui necessitano? Hanno bisogno di una prescrizione? Puoi ritirare tu i loro farmaci in farmacia? Hanno disinfettanti di base, maschere, sapone e alcool (con oltre il 60% di alcool) o candeggina (con soluzione al 3%)? Hanno un termometro e medicine base per febbre e tosse?
-- Possono preparare un pasto o hanno bisogno di aiuto? Puoi preparargli tu un pasto? Puoi organizzare che gli venga consegnato il cibo da una cucina solidale nelle vicinanze?
-- Hanno bisogno di qualcuno/a per far uscire la spazzatura o ritirare la posta?
-- Hanno un animale domestico che deve essere accompagnato fuori?
-- Hanno soldi? Hanno contanti? Possono pagare online? Hanno una persona di fiducia che può prelevare denaro per loro? Hanno bisogno di assistenza finanziaria?
-
-# Cosa devi sapere quando si consegnano gli articoli a domicilio
-
-Nel consegnare le cose considera anche quanto segue:
-- Evita il contatto ravvicinato per impedire la trasmissione del virus per via aerea.
-- È meglio lasciare le cose davanti alla porta e chiedere che siano ritirate una volta che ti sei allontanato/a a una distanza di sicurezza di almeno 2 metri.
-- Puoi fare lo stesso con la spazzatura o qualsiasi altra cosa che devi scambiare con loro.
-
-Considera anche quanto segue:
-- Se non puoi evitare il contatto diretto, la persona isolata deve indossare una maschera. Per prima cosa, quindi, lascia loro una maschera se non ne hanno già una a disposizione.
-- Maneggia con cura gli oggetti in consegna per evitare la trasmissione del virus attraverso le superfici: usa i guanti monouso.
-
-# Cosa devi considerare se vivi con la persona in isolamento domestico
-
-Le persone isolate, sia perché infettate o infette sia perché appartengono a uno dei gruppi a rischio, potrebbero vivere in una casa condivisa con altre persone. Per coloro che sono più anziani, gravemente ammalati, malati o disabili che dipendono dall'assistenza di altri/e, ma vivono in luoghi e situazioni in cui tale assistenza non può essere fornita da istituzioni e personale qualificato, il distanziamento fisico e l'isolamento potrebbero non essere facili da assicurare – in particolare, laddove vi è la necessità di un contatto diretto. Se sei un operatore/trice sociale, leggi i consigli per gli assistenti a bamini/e e ad altre figure in isolamento tracciati in questa [guida](https://www2.hse.ie/conditions/self-isolation-and-self-quarantine/how-to-self-isolate.html).
-
-In breve:
-- Se possibile, isolare la persona in una stanza separata.
-- Areare regolarmente la stanza.
-- Se possibile, assegnare alla persona un bagno o un lavandino separato.
-- Isolare la persona dagli altri elementi della famiglia.
-- Se la persona ha bisogno dell'assistenza di altre persone, ridurre il numero degli/lle assistenti/e che si occuperanno di curarlo/a. Se la persona è infetta, assicurati che gli/le assistenti/e non appartengano a uno dei gruppi a rischio.
-- Mantenere la distanza (di almeno un metro) se non si fornisce supporto diretto, utilizzare la maschera per tutto il tempo in cui ci si trova nella stessa stanza e lavarsi le mani prima e dopo il contatto.
-- Disinfetta le superfici, separa i loro rifiuti.
-
-# Mantenere contatti regolari e fornire supporto emotivo
-
-Mantieni contatti su base regolare. Ascolta. Considera quanto segue:
-- C'è tutto ciò di cui la persona ha bisogno? Si sente bene? Ha bisogno di assistenza medica?
-- Man mano che le persone restanno in'isolamento sociale, potrebbero perdere il contatto e il supporto emotivo: sii pronto/a a passare del tempo con loro per parlare e capire come si sentono.
-- Se ritieni che non stiano bene emotivamente, tieni a portata di mano un numero di aiuto psicologico e consiglia loro di chiedere una consulenza.
-- Se desideri essere informato/a su come fornire un supporto psicologico autonomo, considera la sessione [Psycho-social autonomy](topic:psychosocialautonomy.md) che si trova nel syllabus di Pirate Care.

-[^2]: Traduzione di Bue Rübner Hansen: ORGANIZZARE LA SOLIDARIETA' NEL TUO EDIFICIO E/O STRADA - Cosa puoi fare ?: 1. Organizzatevi in gruppi per identificare le persone che hanno bisogno di supporto e aiutare con cose come: fare la spesa, assistenza all'infanzia, ecc.; 2. Per organizzarti, puoi: convocare riunioni di scala o di strada, visitare i piani del tuo edificio per conoscere la situazione in ogni appartamento, installare un pannello informativo all'ingresso; 3. È importante far sapere a tutti/e che non sono soli, che possono contare sull'aiuto del vicinato; 4. Crea canali di comunicazione tra tutte le persone che vivono l'edificio o la strada. Apri canali sia digitali (tramite cellulare) sia fisici (un cartello all'ingresso può essere appeso per tenere tutti/e informati/e e per condividere le esigenze); 5. Tutto ciò dovrebbe essere fatto seguendo i consigli sanitari per evitare di diffondere l'infezione.

-Lo scoppio di COVID-19 nel nord Italia è coinciso con l'8 marzo - la Giornata Internazionale delle Donne. Il movimento transfemminista di giustizia sociale Non Una Di Meno ha dovuto annullare la maggior parte delle mobilitazioni e delle azioni collettive che aveva programmato per l'occasione, incluso lo sciopero che avrebbe dovuto avvenire il giorno seguente, il 9 marzo. Per questo Non Una Di Meno ha organizzato una serie di iniziative alternative dislocate. Alcune offline, come appendere striscioni dagli edifici, altre online. Una azione online di forte impatto è stata la radio Non Una Di Meno, trasmessa sia in [streaming](https://archive.org/details/@non_una_di_meno_-_milano) che in FM attraverso la collaborazione di alcune [radio locali](https://www.radiocittafujiko.it/la-marea-in-onda-lo-sciopero-transfemminista-alla-radio/).

-
-Il 14 marzo, a mezzogiorno, un lungo applauso è scoppiato dalle finestre e dai balconi di molte città italiane. L'iniziativa, diffusa sui social network e nelle chat di quartiere, è stata l'occasione per ringraziare - a distanza di sicurezza - tutti/e coloro che sono in prima linea in questi giorni difficili per il Paese: medici, infermieri/e, specialisti/e, ma anche tutti/e quei/lle lavoratori/trici che vorrebbero rimanere a casa ma non possono perché i loro datori di lavoro rifiutano di chiudere la produzione.
-
-Lo stesso giorno, anche in Spagna, milioni di persone hanno deciso di ringraziare il personale sanitario per l'enorme sforzo che stanno compiendo in questi giorni con lo scopo di fermare l'espansione del Coronavirus. Alle 22:00, poco dopo che il Primo Ministro Pedro Sánchez termina la sua conferenza pubblica, i/le residenti di molte città spagnole, come Barcellona, Madrid, Oviedo e Benidorm, hanno aperto le finestre delle loro case e iniziato ad applaudire con forza e gioia per ringraziare tutti gli/le addetti/e alle pulizie che stanno lavorando oltre i turni per affrontare COVID-19. In alcuni quartieri residenziali di Madrid, come Montecarmelo, dove vivono molte famiglie con bambini/e, il ciclo di applausi era previsto alle 21:00, in modo che anche i/le più piccoli/e potessero partecipare.
-
-In tutta Italia, flash mob a distanza vengono organizzati in diversi momenti della giornata con concerti di musica dal vivo, dj set ed esibizioni improvvisate per facilitare l'isolamento.

-Teheran è in stato di semi-quarantena da settimane. Milioni di persone hanno evitato di uscire la casa per paura di diffondere il Coronavirus. Scuole, università, teatri e palestre sono stati chiusi. Un silenzio crescente è caduto negli spazi pubblici. La paura è aggravata dalle sanzioni statunitensi contro l'Iran, che hanno portato alla carenza di medicinali di base e di forniture sanitarie necessarie per combattere la diffusione del virus. Durante la quarantena, gli iraniani cucinano, condividono ricette, sperimentano nuove e vecchie spezie e idee, trovano gioia nei sapori che mescolano e scoprono. Queste storie sono diventate l'ispirazione per Golrokh Nafisi, un'artista di Teheran la cui ultima serie si chiama "Quarantine Kitchen". Nafisi ha disegnato i ritratti delle sue amiche mentre preparavano nuove ricette, basandosi sulle storie che le avevano raccontato in quarantena. L'artista sta sviluppando la serie e ha chiesto a chiunque abbia una ricetta da condividere di contattarla, in modo da poterla disegnare.

-Dato che milioni di cinesi sono bloccati a casa per l'epidemia di Coronavirus, i locali notturni in tutto il paese li stanno intrattenendo" con dei "cloud raves" online. I clubber si sono sintonizzati su piattaforme video come Douyin, la versione cinese di TikTok, e partecipando a loro volta. Alcuni DJ e Club hanno trasmesso in live streaming su Kuaishou, un'altra piattaforma video molto popolare in Cina. Funziona così: i DJ registrano la loro esibizione dal locale, dallo studi o dalla casa, e la registrazione va in streaming su Douyin. Durante i concerti in cloud, le esibizioni delle band sono proiettate per gli spettatori. Nonostante non sia spettacolo dal vivo, la gente ascolta il concerto insieme condividendo pensieri attraverso i commenti, in tempo reale. Così, dalla quarantena si può sintonizzarsi su qualsiasi evento musicale. Alcuni/e ravers hanno persino pubblicato video di se stessi che ballano a casa con la musica.
-Il format "rave cloud" ha avuto un enorme successo: milioni di spettatori alla volta si sintonizzano agli streaming live. Secondo Vice, quasi 2,3 milioni di persone si sono sintonizzate sul rave cloud di Sir Teen il 10 febbraio, con oltre 100.000 spettatori che si sono uniti nei primi 30 minuti.
-
-Il cloud clubbing pare sia estremamente redditizio. Il 9 febbraio, infatti, uno streaming live della discoteca OneThird riceve quasi 20 milioni di monete TikTok dagli spettatori, il che equivale a oltre 1 milione di RMB ($ 143.000). Un altro evento tenutosi a San Valentino ha attirato 4 milioni di spettatori online, raccogliendo 570.000 RMB ($ 81.500) per il personale medico in prima linea contro il Coronnavirus.

-# Origini ambientali della pandemia
-
-Secondo l'epidemiologo Dennis Carroll, la ricerca in corso di EcoHealth Alliance, un'organizzazione che protegge la fauna selvatica e la salute pubblica dall'emergenza malattie [^0], mostra che gli ultimi quattro decenni hanno visto un aumento dalle due alle tre volte di salti zoonotici di virus, dagli animali all'uomo[^1]. La maggiore incidenza di epidemie come il Coronavirus è una conseguenza, da una parte, della rapida espansione dell'agricoltura agro-alimentare industriale in habitat faunistici e, dall'altra, della crescente inclusione di specie selvatiche nelle catene di capitalistiche [^2]. Le zone limitrofe tra i territori della fauna selvatica devastata e l'agricoltura invasiva sono quelle che facilitano i salti zoonotici dagli animali selvatici agli animali da allevamento, con un particolare contributo dei pipistrelli della frutta [^3]. Da lì si diffondono alle popolazioni umane. I salti dagli animali di allevamento industriale come maiali, polli e cammelli dromedari verso l'uomo sono stati alla radice dell'influenza aviaria, dell'influenza suina, della SARS, del MERS, dell'H5N2 e dell'H5Nx.
-
-Gli ecosistemi degradati, con la loro complessità ridotta a causa dell'agricoltura industriale e delle monocolture, hanno meno capacità intrinseca di arrestare la diffusione di epidemie tra le specie selvatiche. Pertanto, si prevede che la destabilizzazione ecologica planetaria, una combinazione di cambiamento climatico, cambiamento di uso del suolo e fratture biochimiche, genererà nuovi agenti patogeni a un ritmo crescente. In effetti, uno degli indicatori di destabilizzazione dei confini planetari proposti dall'Istituto di Resilienza di Stoccolma sono le nuove entità, che includono materiali non viventi prodotti dall'uomo ed esseri viventi come sostanze radioattive di inquinanti sintetici, nanomateriali, microplastiche o organismi geneticamente modificati e può anche includere i virus mutageni (trasformanti) che emergono dalle condizioni create dalle azioni dell'agricoltura industriale.
-
-# Conseguenze ambientali della pandemia
-
-Nei primi giorni del blocco di Hubei, le immagini satellitari rilasciate dalla NASA hanno suggerito che lo stop alla produzione industriale e al traffico hanno ridotto radicalmente l'inquinamento atmosferico e, potenzialmente, salvato fino a 77.000 vite [^4]. Anche una grande città del Nord Italia come Milano, nota per i loro livelli altissimi di inquinamento atmosferico, ha subito una radicale riduzione dell'inquinamento [^5]. In un'apparente dimostrazione di comportamento del tutto irrazionale, quando i viaggiatori hanno iniziato a interrompere i loro piani di viaggio, gli aerei sono stati lasciati partire senza quasi nessun passeggero a bordo. L'inquinamento delle flotte aeree commerciali è la causa di 16.000 decessi prevenibili in tutto il mondo su base annua [^6]. L'ironia della questione è che l'abbassamento dell'inquinamento atmosferico è vantaggioso per il recupero da Corona. Il rallentamento dell'attività economica durante l'epidemia avrà un impatto importante anche sulla riduzione delle emissioni globali di gas serra.
-
-Tuttavia, la riduzione dell'inquinamento e delle emissioni derivate dalla crisi piuttosto che da una reale transizione politica non è qualcosa per cui gioire troppo. Contate il numero relativo dei morti è malthusianesimo sotto mentite spoglie [^7]. Infatti, quando il mondo farà un passo indietro dalla crisi, le comunità vulnerabili saranno lasciate soffrire, e i modelli di impatto ambientale del sistema di produzione capitalista torneranno a pieno ritmo. Già sauditi e russi stanno portando avanti una guerra dei prezzi spingendo sul mercato mondiale a prezzi bassissimi più petrolio del necessario, in questo contesto di riduzione della domanda. Una volta che questa situazione rallenterà, il mondo potrebbe essere inondato di petrolio a basso costo, cosa che annullerà rapidamente la riduzione delle emissioni che abbiamo vissuto durante la crisi. Per farla breve, una vita sostenibile e giusta per tutt* richiede forti ed efficaci scelte politiche, non una crisi pandemica.
-
-# Lezioni ambientali dalla pandemia
-
-Tuttavia, mentre siamo nel bel mezzo della crisi, si scorge un'apertura che ci permette di riconsiderare l'organizzazione dei nostri sistemi di produzione e di consumo e delle loro priorità. Sembrano ora sorprendentemente possibili richieste radicali di gestione coordinata del sociale come gli enormi sforzi per salvare vite umane, la volontà collettiva di cambiare l'organizzazione delle nostre vite, una redistribuzione delle ricchezze e la volontà di accettare gradi di incertezza a fronte di una situazione emergenziale. La dottrina della TINA sembra improvvisamente, anche se per un momento, ridotta a un ridicolo feticismo storico di un gruppo di sociopatici che hanno beneficiato della compiacenza di un lungo periodo di pace, e della crescente ricchezza, per stagnare intenzionalmente in un esperimento sociale atto a sacrificare vitne sotto le ruote del profitto.
-
-Dall'attuale pandemia abbiamo imparato molte lezioni preziose per una transizione ecologica:
-- le vite a lungo termine hanno la precedenza sull'economia a breve termine
-- le risposte a grosse minacce alla vita umana possono essere solo pianificate e gestite socialmente
-- la mancanza di cooperazione globale può esacerbare la minaccia (o questa poi diventerà un boomerang come l'amministrazione di Trump o UE stanno scoprendo)
-- un pilastro importante nella gestione della minaccia è riprendere il controllo sui servizi e le infrastrutture sociali che sono state privatizzate.
-- le aziende possono essere statalizzate se il loro modello di business non è più praticabile e se c'è la necessità di produrre per esigenze sociali
-- le politiche fiscali sono uno strumento essenziale per orientare l'adattamento sociale
-- la fornitura di alloggi, cibo e salute privatizzata può essere socializzata;
-- nei momenti critici il lavoro di riproduzione sociale, generalmente invisibilizzato e considerato economicamente secondario rispetto alla produzione, emerge come essenziale e prezioso per le società
-- le persone sono disposte a contribuire in massa al lavoro di riproduzione sociale
-- i modelli della vita quotidiana possono cambiare radicalmente dall'oggi al domani di fronte a una grave minaccia ed essere accolti dalle persone
-- ciò che diventa fondamentale per un cambiamento radicale è come organizzare il tempo liberato, per un lavoro socialmente significativo e tempo libero conviviale
-
-Vi sono evidenti parallelismi tra la destabilizzazione ecologica globale e la pandemia di Coronavirus. Entrambe sono processi apparentemente invisibili che rieccheggiano più nelle affermazioni degli scienziati che nella realtà vissuta, fino a quando non abbattono dolorosamente producendo perdita di vite umane e il disfacimento di modi di vita che fino ad allora sembravano immutabili. Tuttavia, la destabilizzazione ambientale globale è distribuita in modo molto disomogeneo in termini geografici e scale temporali. Ovunque, inizialmente, i/le ricchi/e prova a limitare le loro perdite mentre i/le poveri/e, prevalentemente dell'emisfero meridionale, sono già in forti condizioni di sofferennza. Eppure, a un certo punto nessuno/a sfuggirà alla destabilizzazione degli ecosistemi planetari, i tempi di azione non si misurano in settimane ma in anni e decenni.
-
-Grazie al capovolgimento delle condizioni socio-economiche e del senso di ciò che è possibile, possiamo vedere questo momento come un'apertura storica che ha la potenzialità di reimpostare i termini del dibattito politico intorno a una minaccia a lungo termine e di riorganizzare l'azione collettiva per un futuro più giusto e sostenibile per la salvaguardia di vite ed ecosistemi. Ciò che sta accadendo ora è un drastico allontanamento dallo status quo politico, che dimostra che le vite umane vengono prima dell'accumulazione capitalista. Se riusciamo a comprendere la crisi scatenata da un improvviso picco di diffusione virale, ora più che mai, dovremmo essere in grado di visualizzare la crisi provocata dalla lenta e ancor più micidiale destabilizzazione ecologica. Una trasformazione radicale, gestita socialmente, si è dimostrata possibile e, tuttavia, deve diventare un'urgenza a partire dalle condizioni di difficoltà socio-economiche che la pandemia lascerà sulla sua scia.

-# Una storia di lotte per i diritti delle persone con disabilità
-
-Le persone con disabilità o malattie croniche sono state a lungo soggette a una negazione delle cure. Infatti, indipendentemente da dove ci troviamo, abbiamo dovuto far fronte alla carenza di cure mediche, al difficile adattamento all'ambiente architettoninco, al ristretto accesso alle tecnologie di assistenza e all'assistenza personalizzata, e molte altre cose. Allo stesso modo, siamo anche stati soggetti/e all'imposizione di cure. Abbiamo dovuto liberarci dall'iperprotezione familiare, dall'istituzionalizzazione forzata e dalla segregazione in istituzioni specializzate. La storia delle nostre comunità organizzate e in lotta per superare questa doppia disabilità, oggettiva e soggettiva, è una lunga storia.
-
-## Il modello sociale della disabilità e il movimento per i diritti della disabilità
-
-Il momento di snodo di questa storia arriva negli anni '60 e '70, quando il movimento per i diritti della disabilità ha iniziato a far emergere una forte critica al modello medico dominante intorno la disabilità. Questo modello [^ - 1], che sostituiva il precedente modello eugenetico, considerava la disabilità come una afflizione individuale che doveva essere affrontata attraverso cure mediche e istituzioni specializzate. Questo approccio è sempre stato estremamente riduttivo perché non ha mai tenuto insieme la condizione individuale di disailità con il contesto sociale e, quindi, ha perpetuato un modello di esclusione delle nostre comunità dalla maggior parte degli aspetti della vita sociale.
-
-Da questa critica emerge una nuova concezione sociale di disabilità [^0] che considera le menomazioni fisiche, sensoriali, cognitive o psicologiche come appaiono nel mondo delle barriere fisiche, degli atteggiamenti pregiudizievoli, dell'invisibilità e della sfera del lavoro che privilegia l'abilismo. Fattori istituzionali, culturali e ambientali modellati sulla norma del corpi abile convergono per limitare le persone con disabilità nel raggiungere le loro diverse capacità e aspirazioni. È questo stesso processo di disabilità sociale, e non la disabilità stessa, che definisce la disabilità.
-Da questa consapevolezza più allargata, il movimento per i diritti della disabilità negli anni '70 ha avviato un ciclo di proteste, campagne e azioni dirette, ispirate e supportate dai più ampi movimenti di giustizia sociale, civile e dei lavoratori e delle lavoratrici. Questi movimenti hanno contestato interessi economici e istituzioni paternaliste per chiedere un riconoscimento incondizionato dei diritti della disabilità e la creazione di contesti istituzionali inclusivi. Hanno chiesto che le persone con disabilità avessero il diritto di definire individualmente e collettivamente le proprie esigenze e il diritto di perseguire una vita indipendente.
-
-
-
-## Modello radicale della disabilità e continuità nella lotta
-
-Se questa spinta inizialmente aveva enfatizzato l'esclusione strutturale della disabilità e le relazioni di potere che questa esclusione celava, nei decenni successivi, la spinta si chiude sull'idea della disabilità come isolata da altre forme di oppressione strutturale, ignorando anche in gran parte le relazioni di interdipendenza che avevano continuato a essere costitutive non solo delle vite di molte persone disabili bisognose di cure e di assistenza, ma anche del resto della popolazione che, in varie forme e nel corso della loro vita, ne necessitano. Da queste carenze, negli anni '90 è emerso un nuovo pensiero radicale di disabilità che si basa sulla comprensione di questa come uno dei molti modi di essere, mettendo al cenntro l'idea di un'identificazione positiva, l'empowerment, l'intersezionalità e la queerizzazione nei confronti di una società abilista.
-
-Tuttavia, il raggiungimento dei pieni diritti delle persone disabili, formulati secondo un modello sociale della disabilità, rimane una sfida anche in contesti altamente progressivi e ricchi. I nostri diritti, come sempre, dipendono e continueranno a dipendere dalla nostra capacità di organizzare la vita in interdipendenza e di mobilitarci contro la discriminazione, il paternalismo e l'abbandono. La consapevolezza che le battaglie vinte possono anche tornare indietro è racchiusa nel nostro slogan: "Niente su di noi senza di noi!".
-
-Pertanto, dopo una storia di lotte, dovrebbe essere chiaro, in particolare alle autorità sanitarie pubbliche e alla politica, che la comunità delle persone disabili e le comunità alleate di persone con malattie croniche, obesità, corpi spezzati dallo sfruttamento, dalla povertà o dalla disoccupazione, non staranno fermi e in silenzio mentre altri prendono decisioni chiave nella pandemia in corso. Decisioni che, ancora una volta, rischiano di buttare le nostre vite alla mercé di poteri economici e politici abilisti.
-
-# La pandemia e la minaccia sulle nostre vite
-
-L'Organizzazione mondiale della sanità [^1] stima che circa il 15% della popolazione mondiale vive con una qualche forma di disabilità, molte delle quali sono inn più affette da condizioni secondarie come comorbilità, invecchiamento precoce e morte prematura. Queste afflizioni sono aggravate da cure mediche inadeguate, carenti di protezione sociale, disoccupazione, povertà e isolamento sociale.
-
-Tutti questi fattori diventano fattori di rischio aggiuntivo durante le epidemie, poiché queste disuguaglianze di salute creano le condizioni per una trasmissione più rapida e una maggiore probabilità di malattia e mortalità [^2]. Con lo scoppio della pandemia di SARS-CoV-2, dove la criticità della malattia e la sua mortalità sono particolarmente elevate tra le persone con condizioni di salute precarie, le persone con disabilità o malattie croniche affrontano una situazione di estrema vulnerabilità. Per la maggior parte di noi è necessario evitare di contrarre l'infezione.
-
-Tuttavia, tale vulnerabilità può essere amplificata dalla sanità pubblica e dalle decisioni politiche nella pandemia in diversi modi:
-
-## Il perpetuarsi della nostra invisibilità nell'orientamento sanitario pubblico
-
-In primo luogo, le misure, i protocolli e i comunincati della sanità pubblica non includono spesso un'adeguata considerazione delle esigenze specifiche delle persone con disabilità o malattie croniche [^3]. In una situazione di grave pericolo per la nostra vita siamo nuovamente resi irrilevanti e invisibili.
-
-Ad esempio, nell'orientamento pubblico, siamo generalmente raggruppati come "altri gruppi a rischio". Disabilità e malattie croniche spesso vivono di una mobilità limitata e in gran parte confinata a casa, molti/e di noi dipendono da una regolare assistenza professionale o familiare, e quindi non possono semplicemente mantenere le distanze e isolarsi come consigliato dall'orientamento sanitario pubblico. Dato che gli operatori e le operatrici di sostegno in genere assistono più di una persona alla volta e lavorano in diversi istituti, a causa dei bassi salari e di accordi lavorativi precari, sia noi sia loro siamo estremamente a rischio di infezione e trasmissione del virus.
-
-**Per tali motivi, devono essere predisposti protocolli, linee guida, messaggistica e hotline di sanità pubblica specificamente mirati a ridurre il rischio di infezione tra le persone con disabilità e i/le assistenti. Inoltre, devono essere messe in atto misure di protezione sociale per avere assistenti aggiuntivi, per garantire che tutto il lavoro di assistenza - professionale o meno - sia pagato e possa ottenere una retribuzione per malattia nel caso in cui i lavoratori e le lavoratrici siano infettati/e.** [^4]
-
-Inoltre, sentiamo come la nostra invisiiblità sia strutturale quando osserviamo ciò che la società è disposta a fare in questo momento per creare alloggi a persone abili che oggi devono vivere e lavorare confinati nelle loro case e quindi dipendere dal lavoro essenziale degli altri. In circostanze diverse, per le nostre vite, queste sistemazioni semplicemente non si possono avere.
-
-## Disponibilità di forniture e cure mediche intensive
-
-In secondo luogo, le persone con disabilità o malattie croniche spesso richiedono bombole di ossigeno, ventilatori e dispositivi di protezione come maschere e guanti. Tuttavia, al momento queste scarseggiano e **l'incapacità di includere tra i pazienzi prioritari le persone con disabilità o malattie croniche quando si assicurano queste forniture, potrebbe aggravare le condizioni di salute esistenti e aumentarne la vulnerabilità**.
-
-La vulnerabilità aumenta anche per quelli tra di noi che hanno bisogno di visitare gli ospedali per trattamenti medici come la dialisi o la terapia per condizioni acute acute. **Gli ospedali devono pianificare in anticipo tale capacità di emergenza e prendere accordi per ridurre i rischi di trasmissione ai pazienti ambulatoriali disabili**, il che potrebbe diventare difficile se un focolaio travolge le capacità ricettive degli ospedali e/o si annida in essi.
-
-I più a rischio sono quelli/e tra noi che si trovano in case di cura o in collegi. Queste istituzioni dovrebbero disporre di procedure ed essere soggette a una supervisione più rigorosa, in particolare se gestite privatamente, per evitare casi di grave abbandono e defezione del personale infermieristico, come è stato riferito in alcune case di cura in Spagna.
-
-## De-prioritarizzazione e triage
-
-Infine, poiché un improvviso picco nella necessità di letti, ventilatori o personale medico minaccia di sopraffare il sistema sanitario, le autorità sanitarie pubbliche e gli ospedali sono costretti a prendere decisioni difficili sull'assegnazione di risorse tra i pazienti che richiedono cure intensive. In linea di principio, coloro che hanno minori possibilità di recupero a causa delle loro condizioni di salute di base o delle loro prospettive cliniche hanno la priorità. Come ha dimostrato la situazione Lombarda, i medici non hanno altra scelta se non quella di seguire una simile guida quando devono decidere, per la carenza di dispositivi, chi lasciar morire [^5]. Il pericolo qui è che le persone con disabilità o malattie croniche siano implicitamente declassate. In effetti, in alcuni stati degli Stati Uniti, come l'Alabama e il Tennessee, i piani di terapia intensiva escludono esplicitamente la priorità delle persone con disabilità intellettiva o atrofia muscolare spinale, partendo dal presupposto che le loro vite valgano meno. [^ 6]
-
-**Le persone con disabilità o malattie croniche sono quindi declassate in due modi: per primo, a causa delle loro maggiori esigenze in termini di forniture mediche e cure, infine, quando si tratta del loro accesso alle cure intensive.** Per questi motivi, l'American Association of People with Disabilities ha inviato una lettera al Congresso chiedendo "un divieto statutario sul razionamento delle scarse risorse mediche sulla base di esigenze dimostrate" [^6]. Altrimenti, la selezione delle vite sarà fatta attraverso misure progettate per salvare il maggior numero di vite umane in primo luogo.
-
-# "Nothing About Us Without Us!"
-
-Mentre la pandemia di SARS-CoV-2 si diffonde, le comunità di disabili e di malattie croniche si stanno mobilitando e organizzando. Sono spinti dalla consapevolezza che politica e istituzioni sono pronti a trascurare i loro precedenti impegni in materia di diritti della disabilità. La nostra risposta non si limita alle azioni di governi e istituzioni, stiamo contribuendo a reti di solidarietà più ampie che organizzano l'assistenza collettiva e l'aiuto reciproco, fornendo assistenza alle persone con disabilità [^7], malattie croniche [^8] e condizioni come l'obesità [^9].
-
-**Tuttavia, date le pericolose conseguenze dell'abbandono, è essenziale che ci mobilitiamo per chiedere alle autorità sanitarie pubbliche di includerci nei processi decisionali che alla fine rifletteranno sulla nostra sopravvivenza**

-# Storie dell'assistenza sanitaria pubblica
-
-
-Il 17 marzo 2020, il Ministero della Salute spagnolo ha annunciato che il governo sta mettendo sotto il controllo statale [tutti gli ospedali privati del paese](https://publicservices.international/resources/news/spain-nationalises-all-private-hospitals-uk-rents-hospital-beds?id=10645&lang=en) a tempo indeterminato per combattere la diffusione delle infezioni COVID-19. Il 24 marzo, [il Ministro della Sanità irlandese Simon Harris ha dichiarato](https://www.thejournal.ie/private-hospitals-ireland-coronavirus-5056334-Mar2020/): "Per tutta la durata di questa crisi lo Stato prenderà il controllo di tutte le strutture ospedaliere private e gestirà tutte le risorse a beneficio comune della nostra popolazione". Nel Regno Unito, invece, l'NHS (la Sanità pubblica) dovrà ["affittare 8.000 letti di ospedale privati per la somma di £ 2.400.000 al giorno"](https://metro.co.uk/2020/03/16/nhs-rent-8000-private-hospital-beds-2400000-per-day-12406301/). Il portavoce del Dipartimento della Salute del [Sud Africa](https://www.iol.co.za/business-report/economy/no-plan-to-nationalise-private-hospitals-in-wake-of-coronavirus-45187424), Popo Maja, ha dichiarato in un'intervista a Business Report che il governo non sta nazionalizzando gli ospedali privati a causa dell'epidemia.
-
-La pandemia di Covid-19 sta costringendo i governi di tutto il mondo ad affrontare la questione dell'assistenza sanitaria come diritto universale. Un servizio che dovrebbe essere finanziato pubblicamente attraverso la tassazione e che dovrebbe essere facilmente accessibile a tutti/e. A partire da qui, questa sezione mette insieme alcune storie intorno alla nascita dei servizi sanitari nazionali di alcuni paesi (Italia, Inghiltera e USA) e la loro connessionne con importanti lotte sociali.

-
-L'Italia è un caso di successo politico all'interno del sistema di salute pubblica. Secondo i dati OCSE del 2017, l'aspettativa di vita in Italia è di 83,1 anni rispetto agli 80,9 anni della media dell'Unione europea. Eppure la spesa sanitaria totale annua per abitante è di circa 2.483 euro, contro i 2.884 di media dell'UE (un divario del 15%). Vale la pena quindi provare a capire come il paese europeo con l'aspettativa di vita più lunga abbia raggiunto questo risultato con una spesa ridotta.
-
-Le spinte per la creazione nel 1978 di un sistema di assistenza sanitaria pubblica è nata da un'alleanza senza precedenti tra forze politiche di sinistra, pratiche sperimentali di rinnovamento da dentro la pratica medica, attivismo sanitario radicale, lotte sindacali, gruppi di lavoratori e lavoratrici, movimenti studenteschi e femministi.
-
-Il risultato - la riforma del 1978 - è un servizio sanitario universale, pubblico e gratuito, che offre una vasta gamma di servizi al di fuori del mercato, in gran parte modellato sul Servizio Sanitario Nazionale britannico, che rispecchia la definizione della salute pubblica enunciata dall'OMS nel 1946.
-
-Allontanandosi dalla tradizione di un sistema sanitario corporativo, con una insita limitata copertura legata a categorie professionali specifiche, la riforma italiana ha introdotto l'universalità del servizio sanitario pubblico, finanziato attraverso la tassazione generale, gratuitamente accessibile per tutti/e coloro che vivono nel paese, non solo i/le cittadini/e italiani/e.
-
-In diverse aree – come la salute mentale, la salute negli ambienti di lavoro, la salute delle donne e i trattamenti farmacologici – sono emerse nuove conoscenze sulla prevenzione delle malattie, nuove pratiche di erogazione di servizi e nuovi accordi istituzionali innovativi. Tutti aspetti che danno una forte enfasi ai servizi territoriali come modello che tiene insieme i bisogni sanitari con quelli sociali.

-
-
-La riforma sanitaria in Italia è nata grazie a personalità che combinavano una forte competenza sul campo con l'impegno politico. Franco Basaglia e il suo lavoro sulla psichiatria radicale, Giulio Maccacaro il fondatore di 'Medicina Democratica' (un movimento radicale per la salute), Giovanni Berlinguer uno scienziato e membro parlamentare del Partito Comunista, Alessandro Seppilli uno specialista di sanità pubblica e sindaco socialista della città di Perugia, Laura Conti figura chiave del Partito Socialista che ha aperto la strada al movimento ambientalista italiano, Ivar Oddone medico del lavoro e ex partigiano - nonché personaggio a cui Italo Calvino si ispirò nel suo primo romanzo Nidi di Ragno.
-
-Dal loro lavoro emerge una visione integrata della salute: fisica e psichica, individuale e collettiva, legata alla comunità e al territorio. Viene proposto una relazione meno gerarchica tra medico e paziente, inoltre, viene introdotto un modello di un'organizzazione sanitaria decentralizzata, con elementi di partecipazione attiva. Questo porta alla centralità della medicina preventiva rispetto alla cura della malattia. Come sosteneva Giulio Maccacaro nel 1976, la strategia era quella di una "politicizzazione della medicina" dal basso, capace di sfidare il modo in cui il capitalismo industriale stava sfruttando i lavoratori e le lavoratrici, minando le condizioni sanitarie e sociali nel paese.
-
-Questa strategia politica considerava la salute come la combinazione tra una dimensione collettiva e una condizione individuale, pertanto, sono state necessarie lotte collettive per affrontare le radici economiche e sociali delle malattie e dei problemi di salute pubblica. Questo approccio è stato accompagnato fin da subito dal movimento femminista che si è occupato di affrontato le condizioni e i problemi di salute delle donne, anche attraverso nuove istituzioni cliniche sanitarie autoorganizzate: i consultori.
-
-Gli ultimi decenni di riforme manageriali, riduzioni dei fondi e sforzi di privatizzazione hanno effettivamente abbassato gli standard del servizio sanitario pubblico, introdotto "ticket" pagati dai pazienti e frammentato in modo diseguale nelle regioni italiane la capacità del servizio.
-
-Una delle prime azioni del governo italiano quando è scoppiata la pandemia, il 17 marzo 2020, è stata quella di aumentare i fondi per l'emergenza sanitaria di 3 miliardi di euro e assumere 20.000 medici, infermieri e personale di supporto. Questo è stato un riconoscimento degli errori politici passati - tagli, privatizzaziono e mercificazione del serviozio - e, di fatto, ha richiamato la necessità di riconoscere pienamente il ruolo della sanità pubblica universale come alternativa a quella fornita dal mercato.

-Al servizio di oltre un milione e mezzo di pazienti e famiglie ogni giorno, il Servizio Sanitario Nazionale è il più grande sistema di questo tipo al mondo. È universalmente considerato un tesoro nazionale, il risultato più notevole della Gran Bretagna del dopoguerra.
-
-Eppure il Servizio Sanitario Nazionale ha rischiato di non esistere affatto. Nei mesi che hanno portato al suo lancio è stato amaramente opposto dal Partito di Tory e dalla stampa nazionale. Ma i suoi avversari più accaniti sono state le stesse persone da cui dipendeva la sua esistenza: chirurghi/e, infermieri/e, dentisti/e e 20.000 medici/e britannici/he. Per ottenere il Servizio Sanitario Nazionale è stata necessaria la persistenza e la determinazione di un uomo: Nye Bevan, il ministro della salute dei Labour.
-
-Prima del luglio 1948, i 2.700 ospedali britannici erano gestiti da enti di beneficenza o da consigli, e le uniche persone che avevano diritto al trattamento gratuito erano i lavoratori e le lavoratrici.
-
-Nel 1945, il nuovo governo laburista scrisse un manifesto che prometteva una rivoluzione nella sanità. Il Ministro della Salute Nye (Aneurin) Bevan, voleva costruire un servizio sanitario basato su quattro principi: doveva essere gratuito, disponibile a tutti coloro che ne avevano bisogno, finanziato dalla tassazione e usato in modo responsabile.
-
-Bevan, che proveniva da una famiglia di minatori, si ispirò alla Tredegar Workers Medical Aid Society del Galles del Sud, un regime pionieristico di mutuo soccorso che forniva benefici medici, cure dentistiche e spese funebri ai suoi membri per soli pochi centesimi a settimana.

-Questa storia nell'autunno del 1866, con una persona di nome Rebecca Lee Crumpler. Rebecca Lee Crumpler è una giovane donna di colore nata libera e cresciuta in Pennsylvania da sua zia, una donna di medicina. La zia, infatti, andava di casa in casa a prendersi cura dei malati e Rebecca l'accompagnava e aiutava. Le piaceva così tanto che è poi diventata un'infermiera e, successivamente, prende una decisione davvero insolita per quei tempi, ovvero quella di andare avanti con gli studi e diventare un medico. Si trova quindi al New England Female Medical College, un college appositamente costruito per formare le donne in medicina. Nel periodo in cui si laurea, ci sono circa 54.000 medici nel paese e solo 300 di loro sono donne, solo una di quelle donne è nera: quella donna è Rebecca Lee Crumpler. Così, circa un anno dopo aver finito la scuola di medicina, la guerra civile giunge al termine e prende un'altra decisione insolita, sradica completamente la sua vita e si dirige verso il sud del paese, perché quattro milioni di persone sono appena state liberate dalla schiavitù e sono ora in libertà.
-
-Crumpler sa che aiutare queste persone ad integrarsi nella società e ad affrontare i loro numerosi bisogni di base, compresa l'assistenza sanitaria, sarà una sfida complesa. A queste persone, infatti, era stato appena conncessa libertà senza alcuna risorsa. Saranno quindi costrette a risiedere in prigioni abbandonate, ex caserme militari, chiese vuote, campi profughi o costrette insieme in alloggi molto piccoli. Senza le possibilità di mantenere una buona igiene, il risultato è che cominciano ad ammalarsi. Ma non possono attingere a nessun sistema sanitario perché a quel tempo non esiste davvero alcun sistema sanitario organizzato di cui parlare. La maggior parte delle cure mediche è fornita a domicilio da familiari o da medici che fanno visite in casa, inoltre, gli unici ospedali esistenti sono molto più simili a istituzioni per poveri o malati che non hanno familiari che si prendono cura di loro. Sono strutture private e gestite da gruppi di beneficenza che, all'arrivo degli schiavi liberati e le loro patologie, chiudono le porte. Così, un altissimo numeto di ex-schiavi comincia a morire, tanto che in alcune città i loro corpi morti occupano le strade.
-
-Questa vicenda diventa presto una grave crisi di salute pubblica. Così, per fronteggiare questa crisi, il governo federale crea quello che finisce per essere il primo programma federale di assistenza sanitaria della nazione. Si chiamerà divisione medica dell'ufficio del Freedmen. E questo è il progetto verso cui Rebecca Crumpler si sta dirigendo.
-
-La divisione medica dell'ufficio dei Freedmen si fonda inntorno a un'assoluta ambivalenza. I funzionari vogliono che le loro comunità siano abbastanza 'pulite' inn modo da prevenire malattie che potrebbero diffondersi nelle comunità bianche ma, al contempo, non vogliono fornire assistenza gratuita, perché temono che questa possa creare dipendenza tra la comunità afro-americana. Quindi aprono questi ospedali e assumono alcuni dottori, ma al primo segno di progresso li chiudono rifiutandosi di inviare quelle risorse che i loro stessi medici, incluso la Crumpler, richiedono.
-
-Dato che tutte queste persone muoiono di cose che possono essere prevenute, emerge una teoria. E la teoria racconta che l'alto tasso di mortalità è in realtà la natura che fa il suo corso, in poche parole, le persone nere non muoiono per mancanza di beni di prima necessità ma perché biologicamente inferiori ai bianchi e inadatti alla libertà. L'argomento diventa che gli afro-americani si estinguono per natura e, di conseguenza, che fornire qualsiasi tipo di finanziamento o risorsa per la loro salute è uno spreco inutile perché non si può evitare l'inevitabile.
-
-Quuesto è il primo esempio di assistenza sanitaria finanziata dal governo, un esempio creato per fallire.
-
-Rebecca Lee Crumpler lo capisce velocemente e decide di scrivere un libro: A book of medical discourses. Il libro non è rivolto ai suoi colleghi della comunità medica bianca o ai segregazionisti al Congresso, è indirizzato alla comunità nera, in particolare alle madri nere e alle infermiere nere. Ciò che scrive in questo volume è come prendersi cura di se stessi, malattie come il colera, trattare i disturbi di base come le emorroidi e la bronchite. La cosa più importante del suo libro è che sta dicendo alla comuintà nera americana che non è inferiore, che non si estinguerà e che può prenderti cura di sé stessa.
-
-
-
-
-Facciamo un salto veloce al gennaio del 1947. Il presidente Truman vuole un programma di assicurazione sanitaria gestito dal governo che tutte le persone pagano in anticipo in cambio della possibilità di potervi accedere quando necessario.
-
-Dopo che Truman spinge verso questa direzione, il sistema sanitario nazionale cresce un po' dal post guerra civile, ma non di molto. Infatti, tutti gli ospedali creati attraverso l'ufficio dei Freedmen erano stati chiusi, tranne uno che si trovava a Washington D.C. Altri ospedali erano stati costruiti ma non ce ne sono abbastanza, specialmente al sud. A peggiorare le cose, gli ospedali esistenti sono separati tra popolazione bianca e nera. Una clausula di nome "separati ma uguali" è, infatti, innscritta nella legge. Questo significa che i pazienti neri devono recarsi nelle strutture per neri, poche e disperse. Pppure erano relegati nei reparti sotterranei degli ospedali dei bianchi, i reparti erano piccoli e non fornivano la stessa cura che si otteneva ai piani superiori.
-
-Non sono solo gli/le afro-americani/e non ricevevano cure sufficienti, anche gli/le americani/e poveri/e. A quel tempo, infatti, la maggior parte delle persone americane non era assicurata. L'assicurazione che esisteva era basata sul datore di lavoro, il che significa che bisognava trovare un certo tipo di lavoro in cui il datore effettivamente offriva questo servizio. Fondamentalmente, l'intero sistema non funziona e Truman intuisce che questo è uno dei problemi più urgenti che il paese deve affrontare. Per questo si convince che l'assicurazione sanitaria nazionale è la soluzione.
-
-Pochi giorni dopo che Truman vince le elezioni, però, l'American Medical Association, la più grande e probabilmente la più potente organizzazione professionale per medici nel paese, lancia una massiccia campagna per abbattere la proposta di Truman. A.M.A. sa che un programma nazionale di assicurazione sanitaria danneggerà i suoi profitti.
-
-A.M.A. assume una compagnia di P.R., di fatto la prima società di consulenza politica nel paese, per ideare il piano che silurerà la proposta di assistenza sanitaria universale. Ne emerge una guerra totale: annunci radiofonici, annunci sui giornali, annunci di riviste, distribuzione di opuscoli nelle case delle persone. Alla fine, inviano circa 100 milioni di pubblicazioni in tutto il paese che hanno come slogan: "Tieni la politica fuori dalla medicina".
-
-La campagna funziona, infatti, il supporto popolare per il disegno di legge precipita improvvisamente. La legge non riesce a superare il Congresso e, così, il paese rimane con un sistema sanitario ancora troppo costoso per la maggior parte degli/lle americani/e, e più segregato che mai.
-
-Medicare nasce dalle ceneri del fallito programma di assicurazione sanitaria nazionale di Truman. Iniziato con la presidenza di Kennedy, e proseguito con quella di Johnson, e sotto la guida di Montague Cobb, i dottori neri della nazione sono i primi sostenintori di Medicare. Questi avevano costituito la National Medical Association o la N.M.A., perché erano stati esclusi da A.M.A. Cominciano quindi con le proteste, fanno pressioni sul Congresso e lanciano la propria campagna per spiegare alla nazione che, in realtà, Medicare non distruggerà affatto la medicina ma la renderà più equa. Il loro messaggio è quello che è: l'assistenza sanitaria è un diritto umano e qualsiasi programma che espande l'accesso all'assistenza sanitaria è il dovere di una società libera e democratica. Nel frattempo, la lotta per i diritti civili si sta intensificando in tutto il paese, al di fuori del mondo medico.
-
-Questo sforzo culmina nella legge sui diritti civili del 1964, che afferma che discriminare sulla base della razza è incostituzionale. Più specificamente, afferma che il governo può prelevare dollari federali da qualsiasi struttura o entità che non sia conforme alla legge, incluso gli ospedali. Così Medicare diventa attuativa nel 1966 e, già nei primi quattro mesi dalla sua attuazione, quasi 3.000 ospedali si disgregano.
-
-Nonostante ciò, le disparità sanitarie tra americani neri e americani bianchi persistono fino ad oggi.

-# Crisi della domesticità
-
-La domesticità forzata mette a dura prova anche le persone e le famiglie non violente. Per molti/e, infatti, #restaacasa non è affatto un invito rassicurante. Per saperne di più sulla violenza domestica derivante dalla domesticità forzata puoi andare su .
-
-Troppo spesso, però, le vittime più giovani della violenza domestica - i/le bambini/e - rischiano di essere trascurate del tutto. Se nel gruppo domestico ci sono loro, quindi, magari chiusi in case troppo piccole e senza un'area aperta accessibile, la cosa diventa complessa. Di conseguenza, è utile trovare modi per garantire una convivenza pacifica e gioiosa per tutti/e.
-
-# Spiegare la pandemia ai/lle bambini/e
-
-Il primo passo in questa direzione è spiegare, nel linguaggio appropriato all'età dei/lle bambini/e, come stiamo vivendo questo periodo di emergenza e perché si verificano tali situazioni.
-
-Nelle ultime settimane, molte iniziative rivolte ai più piccol* sono state messe in atto per alleviare il tempo speso in casa in auto-isolamento. Tra queste troviamo un diverso uso di tecnologie già esistenti; la richiesta di revoca di paywall per accedere ad archivi digitali; la produzione di contenuti specifici per bambini riguardanti l'emergenza in corso; e, infine, pratiche di assistenza collettiva tra famiglie, quartieri e gruppi più numerosi di persone.

-
-# Mantenere i/le bambini/e attivi
-
-Qui di seguito alcuni consigli:
-
-## Non dimenticarti di ballare!
-Non muoversi è letale per chiunque, in particolare per i più piccoli/e. In quarantena forzata, è utile definire un momento della giornata dove ci si dedica al corpo, ognun* a seconda delle proprie capacità fisiche.
-Se non si può uscire di casa, passeggiare e correre, basta alzare la musica e ballare fino allo sfinimento!
-
-## Condividi storie audio
-Leggi ad alta voce, scandendo bene le parole e senza fretta, le storie per bambin* che vuoi registrare. Hai già un registratore, è il tuo smartphone! Invita altra gente a farlo e apri una mail dove raccogliere il contriuto audio di ciascuni/e. Per diffondere le storie puoi aprire un canale telegram dove caricarle di volta in volta (ma attenzione che due al giorno sono più che sufficienti!), o farle girare nelle chat delle tue comunità. Questo, per [esempio](https://t.me/storiealtelefono), è un canale telegram in lingua italiana, aperto di recente.
-
-Inoltre, esistono già diversi podcast per bamini/e come [questo](https://www.raiplayradio.it/programmi/piccolaradio/archivio/playlist/wt_mc=2.social.fb.radio3_piccolaradio.&wt?fbclid=IwAR0Jv8OJy0ek15nBd4Fm3smvmD0Uon9k49HZ8jUiBf-BKf6rzuxJXtOpFBY).
-
-## Produci o usa contenunti per bambini/e *fatti da bambini/e*
-Capire cosa sta succedendo non è semplice per nessun*, figurarsi per chi non ha chiaro cosa sia un virus e, per questo, capisce solo restrizioni incomprensibili.
-
-Parlare con i più piccoli è quindi importante e può anche portare alla creazione di contenuti e punti di vista inediti intorno all'emergenza. Produrre con loro, o mostrargli questi contenuti, è un modo per collettivizare senza barriere linguistiche d'accesso quello che succede. Inoltre, serve a vincere la paura di ciò che non si conosce.
-Questo [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttfyyQGdZFg&feature=youtu.be) è un utile esempio.
-Questo è un programma radio ["In diretta per le amiche"](http://www.shareradio.it/diretta-le-amiche-gli-amici-quarta/) fatto da bambin*.
-
-Ci sono anche delle prime [guide](https://www.muba.it/files/uploads/2020/03/10/guida-galattica-al-corona-virus-a-curious-guide-for-courageous-kids.pdf) per bambin* sul tema. Ma in rete girano contributi "domestici" molto divertenti e utili per passare il tempo insieme, che possono essere facilmente realizzati insieme con uno smartphone.
-
-Per stimolare bambine e bambini a creare animazioni video, potete mostrargli [EXPERIMENT 120, una playlist di film sperimentali](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKQRV4XKZt4&list=PLXnmdJHep6dS8H1BtTNHjgCm6KUz2L1Q1) selezionati dallo [Studio Walter](https://www.instagram.com/mariepierrebonniol/). EXPERIMENT 120 presenta “120 anni di cinema sperimentale per l’infanzia in 22 film, molti dei quali brevissimi (tra gli 1 e i 4 minuti) che possono essere guardati dai 7 anni in su. I film sono riprodotti in diverse lingue”. Infine, per aiutarli a creare animazioni video, puoi fargli vedere [questo tutorial su Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/tv/B-K2MG7FyuS) creato da Cool Marbles Stuff.

-# Collettivizza la cura dei più piccoli/e
-In questa emergenza, molte famiglie sono in enormi difficoltà finanziarie o lavorative. In alcuni casi, hanno perso mesi di stipendio, in altri, sono costrette ad andare al lavoro nonostante le scuole siano chiuse (Italia). Il ricorso ai nonni è da evitare con fermezza, giacché l'età e alcune patologie preesistenti sono uno dei motivi di mortalità maggiore per Coronavirus. Per queste ragioni, è meglio organizzarsi altrimenti!
-a. Coordinati con le famiglie del condominio per gestire i più piccoli/e insieme.
-b. Organizza un servizio di baysitteraggio di quartiere attraverso persone che mettono a disposizione gratuitamente il loro tempo per giocare. Qui un [esempio](hhttps://www.facebook.com/Ri.make1/photos/a.1461860884067343/2433143390272416/?type=3&theater) milanese messo in piedi attraverso il coordinamento tra persone che hanno necessità, persone che hanno disponibilità di tempo, un semplice exell e il supporto di un legale qualora vi fossero da gestire i blocchi alla mobilità.
-
-# Non rinunciare alla socialità!
-Anche i bambini possono usare le tecnologie. In questo periodo di isolamento, strumenti come [jitsi.org](https://www.jitsi.org) permettono di organizzare video chiamate collettive da cui anche i più piccoli/e possono trarre vantaggio. Organizza con altre famiglie merende collettive virtuali e chiacchiere tra bambini/e. Fai qualcos'altro nel frattempo, rispetta la loro privacy!
-
-# I compiti a casa
-A seconda delle scuole, in questo periodo ai bambii/e sono assegnati più o meno compiti da fare a casa.
-Nella fascia prescolare e scolare il suggerimento è di decidere insieme a loro uno specifico orario del giorno in cui fare i compiti insieme. Non assecondare un eventuale eccessivo carico: meglio leggere un libro in più! Inoltre, alcuni archivi sono stati aperti per l'emergenza come quello della didattica della [Fondazione Reggio Children](https://reggiochildrenfoundation.org/didattica-on-line/).
-
-Nella fascia degli adolescenti le cose sono più complesse perché sono state attivate diverse modalità di lezioni online. Anche qui l'auspicio è quello di considerare l'aspetto emotivo degli studenti e non solo il loro rendimento e tasso di produttività. Anche qui, meglio approfondire e discutere le ragioni della crisi che compilare task neutri.

-# Precarietà, licenziamenti e mancanza di denaro
-
-Man mano che gli eventi pubblici vengono cancellati, le istituzioni educative, culturali e ricreative vengono chiuse, le misure di allontanamento, isolamento domestico e quarantena vengono introdotte, e man mano che l'economia rallenta, l'epidemia crea condizioni di disoccupazione e i/le lavoratori/trici non sono più in grado di coprire l'affitto, la sussistenza e le spese mediche. I primi ad essere colpiti sono i/le lavoratori/trici precari/e - temporanei, a zero ore, su richiesta e liberi professionisti - e tra loro in modo straordinario le [donne] (https://www.actainrete.it/2020/03/03/limpatto-del-coronavirus-sui-freelance-i-risultati-di-un-sondaggio/) e i/le migranti. Successivamente, i genitori con bambini/e che non possono andare all'asilo nido, scuola materna e scuole primarie; le badanti che frequentano gli/le anziani/e; le famiglie isolate con disabili, che dovranno rinunciare al loro lavoro per occuparsi di coloro che hanno bisogno di cure. Man mano che la pandemia si diffonde e persiste, i datori di lavoro licenzieranno lavoratori/trici, aumentando i numeri di coloro che si trovano in una situazione di insicurezza. Allo stesso tempo, molti lavoratori precari che appartengono a gruppi a rischio e che dovrebbero rimanere a casa dovranno continuare a lavorare in condizioni sovraesposte come addetti alle pulizie e badanti, poiché non possono permettersi di non lavorare.
-
-Ciò richiede una serie di misure temporanee, come l'espansione del congedo di malattia a tutti i/le lavoratori/trici, la sospensione dei requisiti di lavoro per il lavoro, le indennità di quarantena per gli assistenti, la sospensione degli affitti e dei pagamenti dei mutui e sovvenzioni del costo della vita. Alcuni governi non hanno altra scelta che implementare tali misure. Ma dobbiamo riconoscere che la situazione è in gran parte la conseguenza dello smantellamento dei diritti sul lavoro in corso da tempo, lo smantellamento delle protezioni sociali, la privatizzazione delle prestazioni di assistenza sociale e la svalutazione sistematica del lavoro di cura. Pertanto, nel più lungo orizzonte post-pandemico, ciò richiede richieste più sistematiche come l'abolizione delle condizioni di lavoro occasionali, l'introduzione di una garanzia di lavoro, l'espansione dell'assistenza sanitaria e della sicurezza sociale a tutti e (migliore) compensazione per l'assistenza opera. O ancora più radicalmente, l'introduzione di un reddito di base universale e di beni di base universali o un ripensamento approfondito degli scopi del sistema economico e della divisione del lavoro in esso.
-
-Tuttavia, al momento, molte persone rimarranno senza soldi, quindi dipenderanno dal sostegno dei loro amici e familiari o dal mutualismo per superare il periodo della pandemia. Ecco alcune idee su come ridistribuire e attenuare le loro difficoltà, ma anche potenzialmente gettare le basi per le reti di supporto e l'economia collaborativa per il futuro:
-
-# Idee per il mutuo aiuto
-
-## Soldi: fondo di solidarietà
-
-All'interno della tua comunità (politica, di quartiere, famiglia, tra un gruppo di amici...) puoi organizzare un fondo comune per redistribuire il denaro al fine di prevenire la fame e sostenere bisogni reciproci. Questo può essere fatto in modo molto semplice creando un foglio di calcolo condiviso con tre colonne: elenco delle persone partecipanti, importo settimanale del denaro versato e un dividendo per ogni persona. Ti consigliamo di concordare in anticipo le modalità per cui ci si divide i soldi a disposizione. Per trasferire denaro, puoi avere una persona che può raccogliere e redistribuire fisicamente, o utilizzare un servizio online bancario che vi permette facilmente di avere una cassa comune. Puoi anche aprire un [portafoglio comune](https://vimeo.com/295537042) dove ognuno/a può caricare e scaricare la sua quota.
-
-## Risorse: acquisti e beni condivisi
-
-Potete anche fare lo stesso per gli acquisti. Create un foglio di calcolo con due tabelle: la prima con un elenco di persone partecipanti e l'importo settimanale dei contributi e la seconda con un elenco di esigenze e prezzi. Mantenete il saldo dei conti. Fate gli acquisti insieme.
-
-Potete anche condividere materiali di consumo come strumenti da lavoro o veicoli, organizzare la distribuzione di una libreria di cose, mantenendo un foglio di calcolo condiviso dove segnare chi presta e chi riceve.
-Affinché la condivisione sia sostenibile, stabilire semplici regole come: restituire le cose pulite e disinfettate (1), in tempo e non danneggiate.
-
-(1) [Cinque semplici regole](https://intercom.help/library-of-things/en/articles/2792457-the-five-simple-rules-of-borrowing)
-
-Quando puoi, compra la spesa dai tuoi produttori locali, chiedi loro di organizzare un ritiro ogni settimana con scatole miste già pronte di frutta, verdura o altro. Cerca di far circolare il denaro nella tua comunità il più a lungo possibile.
-
-## CommonCoin
-
-Tuttavia, dato che attualmente ci sono pochi soldi, si può provare a organizzare uno scambio reciproco di lavoro e servizi all'interno della comunità.
-
-Si può fare, ad esempio, mediante un sistema di registri distribuiti (anche su blockchain) come quello sviluppato da [MACAO](https://www.macaomilano.org) insieme a [Dyne.org](https://www.dyne.org), e altre comunità di attivisti/e, per collettivizzare l'economia e il lavoro all'interno del suo centro culturale. Infatti, con lo scopo di creare un sistema di lavoro condiviso per la comunità, puoi avviare un portafoglio in Common.coin utilizzando [questo tutorial](https://commonfare.net/it/stories/commoncoin-wallet-tutorial-31286f71-f28b-4f36-9739-4f7143f1bdb2) e creare la tua stessa moneta [qui](https://commonfare.net/it/stories/group-currency-tutorial). Per supporto tecnico segui [Dyne.org](https://swapi.dyne.org/).
-
-## Lavoro: Banca del tempo
-
-[La banca del tempo](https://timebanks.org/what-is-timebanking/) è un sistema attraverso cui la valuta viene contabilizzata in tempo, il tempo necessario per fornire un servizio a un'altra persona della comunità. Ogni servizio offerto da una persona equivale a un accredito di tempo che questa stessa persona può ricevere da un altro/a componente della comunità. Le banche del tempo possono essere organizzate da comunità grandi o piccole per aiutare i/le loro membri a coordinare servizi su bisogni collettivi. Esistono molte implementazioni [software di facile utilizzo](https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Timebanking_Software_Platforms) per facilitare processi comunitari di banca del tempo.
-
-## Aprire un canale di supporto legale e sindacale
-
-Organizza un canale di supporto telefonico con avvocati/e e rappresentanti sindacali per fornire ai lavoratori (precari e non) consigli relativi ai loro diritti sul lavoro (es. come evitare di anndare a lavorare laddove ciò comporta rischi o, più in generale, come contrastare i datori di lavoro che stanno caricando i costi della crisi sui/lle lavoratori/trici). [Qui](https://jacobinitalia.it/reddito-e-solidarieta-la-crisi-sanitaria-non-sia-pagata-da-chi-non-lavora/) trovi un elenco dettagliato delle prolematiche che si stanno producendo in questo periodo.

-Le misure di sostegno attuate durante la crisi riguardano il congelamento dei mutui e il blocco degli sfratti, ma non esiste una vera protezione per gli affittuari. Questo problema riguarda gran parte dei paesi del mondo, dove molte persone che hanno perso la propria fonte di reddito sono soggette a questa spesa spesso insostenibile. Dal primo aprile inizierà uno sciopero generale e indefinito richiesto dalle organizzazioni di base e dai sindacati degli affittuari, che coinvolgono sia coloro che non possono permetterselo, sia quelli che, per solidarietà, non vogliono che solo i più deboli vengano colpiti da la crisi economica indotta dai blocchi.
-
-La chiamata a uno sciopero degli affitti è iniziata da due luoghi molto diversi, per coincidenza nell'estremo ovest dell'Europa e dell'America: le Isole Canarie e la costa americana occidentale. Alle Canarie, lo sciopero è stato proclamato da un [sindacato] (https://sindicatodeinquilinasgc.noblogs.org/) nato con le occupazioni delle piazze nel 2011, che per quasi un decennio ha organizzato gli inquilini delle zone più povere della città di Las Palmas per resistere agli sfratti.

-USA: [Rent Strike 2020](https://www.rentstrike2020.org/) è un'organizzazione di attivisti/e con sede negli Stati Uniti che lavora per costruire una comunità nazionale di mutuo soccorso tra la classe operaia durante l'epidemia di Coronavirus. "Siamo un'organizzazione di mutuoaiuto in caso di calamità controllata da normali lavoratori e lavoratrici. Le nostre richieste a tutti i governatori, in tutti gli stati, sono estremamente semplici: congelare l'affitto, l'ipoteca e la riscossione delle bollette per 2 mesi, oppure, affrontare uno sciopero degli affitti".

-ITALY: Un movimento in rapida crescita sta organizzando lo sciopero degli affitti in Italia. Una grande chat di Telegram serve a coordinare numerosi gruppi regionali e supportare le persone in ogni fase del processo.

L'aspetto interessante è che il movimento si rivolge sia agli inquilini che ai proprietari con l'obiettivo di far pagare alle banche la crisi, e non le persone.

Poiché il mercato degli affitti croati è prevalentemente in nero, il collettivo "Diritto alla città - Zagabria" ha anche avviato un [gruppo di sostegno reciproco degli inquilini su Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/groups/podstanarizapodstanare/) per organizzare inquilini e inquiline attorno ai loro diritti.

-# Altre informazioni
-
-Italia: l'Unione degli inquilini [Unione Inquilini](http://www.unioneinquilini.it/index.php?id=9039) ha scritto una lettera aperta al Papa, chiedendo che il Vaticano rinunci a riscuotere gli affitti durante la quarantena e renda disponibili le unità abitative vuote che possiede per i senzatetto e gli infetti. Il Vaticano possiede infatti il 20% del patrimonio immobiliare italiano (circa 115.000 edifici residenziali).
-
-Inoltre, a Milano, il portale di notizie [Off Topic](https://www.offtopiclab.org/) ha risposto alla chiamata del Comune di Milano che cerca appartamenti vuoti per far fronte all'emergente emergenza abitativa in città, con un'infografica che dettaglia tutti i 6489 appartamenti Airbnb vuoti attualmente disponibili. La mappa è stata creata da [Inside Airbnb](http://insideairbnb.com/about.htm), un sito indipendente di strumenti e dati non commerciali che ti consente di esplorare come Airbnb viene realmente utilizzato nelle città di tutto il mondo.

-Con il 59% di americani e americane che vivono giusti giusti sullo stipendio e l'isolamento, è ovvio che molte persone non saranno in grado di pagare gli affitti o i mutui per qualche tempo. Mentre molti Stati hanno rimandato le moratorie di sfratto di 90 giorni e le scadenze dei mutui, ci sono ancora poche protezioni per gli affittuari che stanno rapidamente diventando le persone più vulnerabili della società. Anche molti negozi hanno annunciato che smetteranno di pagare l'affitto. Sicuramente alcuni/e saranno in grado di risolvere le cose con proprietari più compassionevoli, altri/e dovranno unirsi per resistere allo sfruttamento. Questo documento è per tutti voi.

-# Condizioni del lavoro sessuale in pandemia
-
-La pandemia #COVID19 sta influendo drammaticamente sulle vite di chi fa lavoro sessuale. La maggior parte delle e dei #sexworker non è in grado di accedere alle prestazioni sociali istituite come misure di emergenza dal Governo. È un momento di disperazione e di paura: molte delle giovani sex worker donne e persone trans sono migranti, sole e senza una rete familiare a cui far riferimento; molte altre sono madri e con il loro lavoro sostengono tutta la famiglia.
-
-In queste settimane e sempre di più nelle prossime, l’#emergenza che stiamo vivendo sta spingendo sull’orlo del baratro molte/i di loro, dando origine a situazioni di disagio e povertà sempre più gravi. E sarà sempre peggio. Vi sono persone dedite ad attività di prostituzione in forma libera, concordata o costretta, già in condizioni di vulnerabilità umana e sociale, e oggi rischiano di precipitare in condizioni di #povertà estrema. Condizioni di necessità che potrebbero costringerle a lavorare, violando le regole, esponendosi alle relative conseguenze penali e ai rischi per la propria salute e quella collettiva.
-
-Per questa ragione, gruppi, associazioni e sindacati del lavoro sessuale in molti paesi stanno organizzandosi. Oltre alla distribuzione di cibo e di farmaci, diverse iniziative hanno aperto casse di mutuo aiuto e donazioni per sostenere economicamente i/le sex worker che, di fatto, sono tra le persone su cui si ripercuote maggiormente la pandemia, a causa della generalizzata criminalizzazione del lavoro sessuale.

-In un momento come quello attuale, che la tecnologia sia un fatto politico sta diventando molto più evidente di quando le nostre infrastrutture funzionano senza problemi. Molti sono i processi in corso: la comunicazione virtuale, l'uso di piattaforme digitali e l'automazione dei processi produttivi assumono nuovi connotati mentre evitiamo di incontrarci dal vivo o fare acquisti in maniera diretta. Tali cambiamenti sono destinati ad avere effetti a lungo termine sull'ecosistema tecnologico in cui viviamo e ancora maggiori ricadute sull'organizzazione del lavoro. Vecchie preoccupazioni tecnopolitiche sulle barriere all'accesso, la neutralità della rete, la sorveglianza e la proprietà sui dati, la proprietà pubblica delle infrastrutture per le telecomunicazioni e il potere radicato degli oligopoli tecnologici stanno tornano a interrogarci con urgenza.
-
-Questa sessione, a differenza di altre presentate qui, non contiene suggerimenti per entrare in azione (a meno che, forse, chi legge non sia un/a ingegnere), ma offre una raccolta in evoluzione di notizie rilevanti per avviare delle riflessioni comuni su ciò ache dovremmo richiederere attenzione in questa fase e per capire su che cosa si dovrà insistere per ottenere una infrastruttura tecnopolitica più equa e democratica nel prossimo futuro.
-
-
-# Connettività
-
-Durante questa crisi, la videoconferenza online è diventata strumento centrale di socialita' e produttivita'. Molte strategie di gestione della rischio prevedono un maggiore utilizzo di VPN e chat online. Scuole e universita' stanno trasferendo le classi su piattaforme apposite. Tutto questo traffico di dati costituisce pero' un onere aggiuntivo che puo' gravare sulla capacità della rete e dei singoli fornitori. E' importante riflettere su come tutto cio' abbia un impatto diverso sulle persone con accesso più lento o più limitato al web e su coloro che hanno meno competenze informatiche. Inoltre, servizi online più essenziali, ad esempio le teleconferenze tra operatori sanitari e pazienti, si trovano a competere con app e giochi meno essenziali. In Cina, ad esempio, l'internet e' gia' andato [in tilt](https://www.abacusnews.com/culture/worlds-biggest-online-population-staying-home-and-chinas-internet-cant-cope/article/3050947) diverse volte. Questo momento porta anche a riflettere sull'importanza dei data center, che svolgono un ruolo chiave dietro le quinte, fornendo tecnologia cruciale per supportare i servizi di emergenza e di pronto intervento. Anche moltissimi ospedali si affidano ai data center per l'archiviazione e la trasmissione di dati e immagini. Anche i data center sono sotto pressione per continuare a fornire e potenziare i propri servizi, proteggendo al contempo il personale che assicura la manutenzione delle macchine.

-
-Il ruolo della connettività in questa fase merita quindi una riflessione politica colletiva. Un punto di partenza ci viene da Ian Alan Paul:
-
- Sembra che almeno due nuovi tipi di soggettività abbiano già iniziato a prendere forma, entrambi reciprocamente costitutivi, intimamente dipendenti e modellati dalle infrastrutture informatiche e dagli apparati che ora attraversano e organizzano gran parte della nostra società planetaria. Da un lato, abbiamo il soggetto addomesticato / connesso, che nell'essere confinato nella propria casa è spinto a inventare nuovi modi per riconnettersi e partecipare a un'economia virtualizzata. D'altra parte, abbiamo il soggetto mobile / usa e getta che funge da sistema circolatorio della pandemia, un soggetto che diventa sempre più vulnerabile e precario in quanto è costretto a muoversi a velocità sempre maggiori. Affinché i soggetti domestici / connessi si sostengano materialmente, devono essere accoppiati con il soggetto mobile / usa e getta che soddisfa i bisogni materiali minimi della società garantendo al contempo la possibilità sociale di una vita domestica isolata ma in rete.

-# Robot, AI e automazione dell'assistenza sanitaria
-
-Mentre i grandi gruppi multinazionali che si occupano di cura e biotecnologie promuovono l'adozione di strumenti digitali per l'assistenza sanitaria, si rischia di lasciare fuori dai dibattiti questioni politiche fondamentali come quelle relative alla raccolta dei dati sullo stato di salute delle persone (interessantissimi per le assicurazioni private); la proprietà privata di software e strumenti chiave su cui gli ospedali potrebbero trovarsi a fare sempre piu' affidamento in futuro; la perdita di posti di lavoro nel settore dell'assistenza alla persona e le ripercussioni sulla qualità delle cure che i servizi automatici e remoti potrebbero generare.
-
-Tra le notizie recenti che provengono dalla Cina:
-
-Nel mezzo del nuovo scoppio del coronavirus, i giganti della tecnologia cinese stanno accelerando i propri sforzi nel campo della tecnologia sanitaria, in aree che vanno dal cloud computing all'intelligenza artificiale (AI). Aziende come Alibaba, Baidu, Tencent, Huawei e DiDi hanno tutte lanciato nuove soluzuioni tecnologiche volte a diagnosticare casi e trovare un vaccino per il coronavirus.
-- FONTE: [China’s giants from Alibaba to Tencent ramp up health tech efforts to battle coronavirus](https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/04/coronavirus-china-alibaba-tencent-baidu-boost-health-tech-efforts.html)
-
-Gli ospedali in Cina si sono affidati a un trio di robot per aiutare a fermare la diffusione del virus dell'influenza. I robot includono un robot per la consegna di alimenti, un robot igienizzante e un robot guida direzionale che può aiutare le persone a evitare inutili contatti umani. Attualmente sono utilizzati in 10 province negli ospedali cinesi.
--FONTE: [In China’s hospitals, robots are helping to halt the spread of coronavirus](https://www.digitaltrends.com/cool-tech/trio-of-robots-china-hospitals/)
-
-Secondo la Federazione internazionale di robotica di Francoforte, la Cina è diventata il più grande mercato al mondo di robotica industriale e e quello in più rapida crescita, aumentato del 21% ($5,4 miliardi) nel 2019, mentre le vendite globali hanno raggiunto i $16,5 miliardi. La Cina conta oltre 800 produttori di robot, tra cui i principali attori SIASUN e DJI Innovations. La Cina è sulla buona strada per rappresentare il 45% di tutte le spedizioni di robot industriali entro il 2021, rispetto al 39% nel 2019. Un robot in grado di lavorare con un turno di 24 ore può sostituire tre lavoratori e costare da $43.000 a $72.000. Con gli stipendi in Cina che aumentano fino al 20% ogni anno negli ultimi anni, il consulente aziendale cinese Bill Edwards prevede un'inevitabile spinta alla robotica. "I salari in Cina non sono più economici", ha osservato.

-# Accesso libero ai saperi
-
-L'accesso aperto alle conoscenze scientifiche rimane una delle richieste centrali per la giustizia sanitaria. I laboratori di tutto il mondo sono stati in grado di condividere le sequenze del genoma del nuovo virus attraverso [GISAID] (https://www.gisaid.org), un'iniziativa che promuove la condivisione internazionale di tutte le sequenze di virus influenzali per aiutare i ricercatori a capire come i virus si evolvono, si diffondono e potenzialmente diventano pandemie. GISAID agisce superando i disincentivi, gli ostacoli e le restrizioni che scoraggiano o impediscono la condivisione dei dati sull'influenza prima della pubblicazione formale. L'iniziativa garantisce che l'accesso aperto ai dati in GISAID sia gratuito e aperto a tutti. Tuttavia, il GISAID costituisce un'eccezione al modo in cui la ricerca e i dati medico- scientifici vengono tipicamente trattati, ovvero come risorse privatizzate su cui capitalizzare. Gia' nel 2015, per esempio, i funzionari della sanità pubblica della Liberia sono stati co-autori di un articolo apparso sul New York Times che lamentava la quantità di ricerche sull'Ebola che erano inaccessibili agli scienziati e agli operatori sanitari al centro dell'epidemia del 2014.
-
-Per aggirare i paywalls esistenti, nel gennaio 2020 un gruppo di archivisti online ha creato una directory ad accesso aperto di oltre 5.000 studi scientifici sui coronavirus che chiunque può consultare e scaricare. Il download è stato reso possibile tramite [Sci-Hub] (https://www.sci-hub.tw/), un repository gratuito di ricerca scientifica che e' "The Pirate Bay of Science". Il sito di Sci-Hub offre accesso gratuito a oltre 78 milioni di articoli di ricerca scaricando pagine HTML e PDF dal Web, in alcuni casi aggirando i paywall. Per questo motivo, le maggiori case editrici scientifiche - soprattutto Elsevier - hanno ripetutamente citato in giudizio Sci-Hub per violazione dei copyright.

-# Le reazioni della scena makers
-(tramite @zoescope)
-L'Ospedale di Chiari (Brescia) si e' trovato in un'emergenza quando le valvole necessarie per il funzionamento di uno strumento di rianimazione ha iniziato a scarseggiare e i medici si sono accorti e che il produttore aveva esaurito i pezzi di ricambio, a causa dell'elevata domanda. Una società local di stampa in 3D, coinvolta da un fablab milanese, e; stata quindi contattata ed e' stata in grado di produrre una copia della valvola in meno di 6 ore. Tuttavia, il produttore ora sta minacciando di intentare causa. La riproduzione del pezzo di ricambio potrebbe anche comportare altri problemi legali in quanto non è stato certificato dalle autorità sanitarie. La Repubblica italiana, pero', potrebbe fermare o prevenire un'eventuale causa legale con un atto legislativo del 2005 (LD 10 febbraio 2005, n. 30, art. 141) che prevede gli espropri statali di diritti di proprietà industriale registrati o brevettati, se questo fosse nell'interesse della difesa del paese o per altri motivi di pubblica utilità.

-# Il problema del lavoro online
-
-
-Mentre moltissimi incarichi lavorativi e riunioni vengono trasferiti online - incluse le attività di insegnamento - abbiamo urgentemente bisogno di una riflessione guidata dai lavoratori sull'uso e il possesso delle piattaforme che mediano il telelavoro. Questi strumenti rischiano di preparare il terreno per una ristrutturazione radicale e in peggio delle condizioni di impiego, incentivando licenziamenti e aumentando il micromanagement dei lavoratori. È importante sottolineare anche le questioni relative alla proprietà delle infrastrutture di televaloro (di proprietà di società private, anche nel caso di scuole, e quindi entri che stanno profitti non solo tramite le sottoscrizioni, ma anche la raccolta di dati). Si aprono per tantissime lavoratori domande essenziali sulla propria privacy; sul controllo dei contenuti generati (pensiamo ad esempio alle lezioni registrate, che possono poi essere utilizzate per sostituire gli insegnanti). Se fai parte di un sindacato o se il tuo posto di lavoro sta introducendo nuovi strumenti per consentire il lavoro da casa, prendi in considerazione la possibilità di sollevare alcuni di questi questioni e di ottenere che i lavoratori vengano coinvolti nella scelta degli strumenti digitali proposti.
-
-Un insegnante statunitense a cui e' stato chiesto di spostare le proprie lezioni online ha fatto circolare questo invito:
-
-> A tutti i miei colleghi che ora vengono istruiti a mettere in linea parte o tutto il loro semestre di lezioni: è giunto il momento di fare un 'cattivo' lavoro. NON stai costruendo un corso online. NON stai insegnando a degli studenti da cui ci si possa aspettare che siano pronti per imparare online. E, soprattutto, la tua classe NON è la massima priorità della loro ne' della tua vita adesso. Liberati dalle grandi aspettative in questo momento, perché è il modo migliore per aiutare i tuoi studenti ad imparare.
-> Se ti senti affascinato dalla pedagogia digitale o stai scoprendo ora che ci sono alcuni strumenti davvero fantastici per supportare gli studenti online, fermati. Fermati adesso. Chiediti: me ne importa davvero? (Probabilmente no, altrimenti l'avresti esplorato prima). O sto cercando di dimostrare che sono cpaace di giocare in squadra? (Lo sei gia', non permettere alla tua università di sfruttarlo). O sto cercando di calmarmi di fronte a una pandemia facendo qualcosa che fa sembrare la vita piu' normale? (Se lo sei, fermati e usa invece le tue energie in un modo migliore, ad esempio aiutando i blocchi degli sfratti o aiutando a distribuire pasti ai bambini che non mangiano abbastanza perché le scuole pubbliche stanno chiudendo.) ...(continua)...

-# Diritti riproduttivi
-
-Mentre le procedure di routine e non urgenti vengono rinviate nelle aree più colpite dall'epidemia, l'eccezionalità della situazione ha un impatto negativo sul diritto delle donne ad un aborto sicuro. Negli Stati Uniti, ad esempio, i legislatori repubblicani chiedono che qualsiasi nuovo finanziamento per combattere il COVID-19 includa l'emendamento Hyde anti-aborto.

-
-Pertanto, l'organizzazione di reti in grado di mappare quali ospedali stanno garantendo l'accesso all'interruzione volontaria di gravidanza sta diventando una priorità. In Italia, un [Telegram Channel](https://t.me/aborto_emergenzaCOVID19) e una hotline 24/24h (+39 3319634889) sono stati aperti dalla rete di attiviste [Obiezione Respinta](https://obiezionerespinta.info), al fine di fornire un servizio di mappatura (aggiornato quotidianamente) e di informazione, su ospedali e farmacie che garantiscano diritti riproduttivi.
-Un altro esempio è questo [elenco](https://consultoriautogestita.wordpress.com/interruzione-di-gravidanza/?fbclid=IwAR10ukV3ac0-nuUDxb3mfPuVIzkWv0q_sb2HFy94I_usnZbiGkP1b6AlRitor) di servizi reperibili su Milano compilato dalla consultoria autogestita.

-# Violenza Domestica
-
-Attenzione: per molti #restaacasa non è affatto un invito rassicurante. L'aumento della violenza domestica in un momento di domesticità forzata è stato ampiamente evidenziato nel primo epicentro della pandemia in Cina, dove i divorzi sono aumentati e l'hashtag #疫期反家暴 (Anti Domestic Violence During Epidemic) è stato utilizzato oltre 3.000 volte nell'ultimo mese.
-
-Più recentemente, abbiamo visto emergere tendenze simili nel secondo epicentro, l'Italia, un paese tristemente noto, anche in tempi meno difficili, a causa dell'alto numero di femminicidi per mano di "coloro che detengono le chiavi di casa". Negli ultimi giorni, video agghiaccianti di violenza domestica hanno iniziato a circolare sui social media. Video che le sentinelle femministe in rete stanno mappando e cercando di contenere.
-
-L'azione più significativa per combattere la violenza domestica in questi tempi di domesticità forzata è stata messa in atto dalla rete di centri italiani anti-violenza DiRE, con il supporto comuincativo del movimento transfemminista nazionale Non Una Di Meno. Questa rete ha garantito il regolare funzionamento delle hotline nazionali e regionali per la segnalazione di violenza domestica.
-
-In questo contesto, diventa sempre più chiaro come la violenza di genere e del genere sia un dispositivo strutturale contro cui attivare una prospettiva di trasformazione sistemica che va dall'educazione all'organizzazione del lavoro.

-# Lavoro di Cura
-
-I lavoratori e le lavoratrici che affrontano i maggiori rischi per la loro salute in pandemia, sono quelli/e che svolgono gli essenziali compiti di [riproduzione sociale](https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/03/15/business/economy/coronavirus-worker-risk.html), ad esempio gli/le addetti/e alle pulizie, infermieri/e, domestici/he, badanti e cassieri/e dei negozi di alimentari. Tuttavia, come raccontato spesso da attiviste e pensatrici femministe e transfemministe, questi i peggior lavori, anche senza pandemie, in termini di salario, precarietà, tutele e condizioni di sicurezza. Inoltre, massivamente razzializzati e sessualizzati.
-
-Questa dichiarazione anonima di un'operatrice delle pulizie nel settore ospedaliero di Bergamo (una delle città più colpite dalla pandemia) è stata condivisa diverse volte sui social media:
-
-> “Siamo le lavoratrici invisibili. Siamo quelle che si alzano alle 5 del mattino, ma nessuno ci vede. Lasciamo solo il nostro passaggio di pulizia, spesso scontato. Come se non fosse cosi importante. Anche noi ci siamo.
->
-> Anche noi, operatrici addette al servizio di pulizia ospedaliero in questo periodo facciamo di tutto per rendere il nostro presidio più sicuro possibile. Noi ci siamo, nonostante nessuno ne parli, nonostante le paure, stante i rischi in cui anche noi e le nostre famiglie potremmo incorrere.
->
-> Ci siamo e lavoriamo anche se abbiamo un contratto collettivo scaduto da anni, con stipendi ridicoli. Sì, noi lavoriamo incessantemente come gli altri, per noi e per tutta la comunità”.

-Inoltre, anche le misure redistributive stanziate dal governo Italiano dopo alcune settimane dall'inizio della pandemia, il decreto Cura Italia, non sembrano 'vedere' le lavoratrici e i lavoratori del settore domestico e di assistenza. I provvedimenti in favore di questo settore, infatti, sono vaghi e non sufficienti, anche perché molte delle persone che svolgono lavoro di cura sono lavoratori e lavoratrici in nero e spesso migranti. Invece, è proprio da questo settore che dovremmo ripartire per pensare a una nuova forma di democrazia basata sulla cura.

-Questa sessione, a differenza delle altre, non contiene suggerimenti per entrare in azione, ma offre un archivio di notizie rilevanti che possono aiutare ad avviare dibattiti e riflessioni comuni sulle richieste che collettivamente dovremmo fare per un futuro più giusto.

-# Condizioni nelle carceri
-
-Da sabato 7 marzo, in oltre venti carceri italiane i prigionieri protestano e si ribellano. In pochi giorni, decine di persone sono rimaste ferite, dieci prigionieri sono morti (secondo le autorità, sono morte per overdose dopo aver rubato droghe e metadone nelle infermerie, ma questa informazione è stata contestata) e circa una settantina sono fuggiti. Le manifestazioni continuano in diverse carceri e, in alcuni casi, i detenuti occupano ancora varie sezioni del complesso in cui si trovano.
-
-Le ragioni alla base di tutti questi episodi sono diverse e hanno a che fare sia con la nuova emergenza che sta vivendo l'Italia, sia con le emergenze croniche che il sistema carcerario sta vivendo da decenni, come la sovrappopolazione e le risorse insufficienti. Un filo conduttore che collega molti casi è la paura per la nuova infezione da Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) e la rabbia per le misure prese dalle autorità carcerarie per contenerlo. La decisione presa dal Ministero della Giustizia, infatti, ha sospeso, tra le altre cose, il rilascio dei bonus day, i regimi di libertà parziali e gli incontri con i familiari. Le uniche comunicazioni consentite dunque tra coloro che stanno scontando una pena e coloro che aspettano fuori, sono le telefonate e le videochiamate, laddove la prigione è in grado di garantirle. Queste misure hanno scatenato la rabbia dei prigionieri che le leggono come una ulteriore limitazione dei loro diritti, anche perché l'infezione può diffondersi attraverso i lavoratori e la polizia carceraria.

-Mentre restrizioni analoghe sono in vigore in altri paesi, molti gruppi di difesa dei carcerati chiedono amnistie e la liberazione anticipata di prigionieri in attesa di reati minori. Queste associazioni stanno mettendo al centro l'idea di una riforma più completa del sistema giudiziario nell'agenda internazionale, per andare oltre le carceri come meccanismo predefinito al contrasto del crimine, in favore dell'abolizione delle stesse e dell'inserimento opzioni di [giustizia riparativa](https://cain.ulster.ac.uk/issues/law/cjr/chap9.pdf).

-# Emergenza nei campi profughi
-
-Ginevra, 10 marzo 2020 - La risposta del mondo alla crisi COVID-19 deve comprendere e concentrarsi su tutti/e, compresi quelli/e costretti/e a fuggire dalle proprie case. Gli/le anziani/e della popolazione che migra da guerre e carestie sono particolarmente vulnerabili, ha avvertito l'UNHCR, l'Agenzia delle Nazioni Unite per i rifugiati, lanciando il suo appello sull'emergenza COVID-19. L'UNHCR sta cercando urgentemente un importo iniziale di 33 milioni di dollari per aumentare le attività di preparazione, prevenzione e risposta alle esigenze immediate di salute pubblica dei rifugiati. Più di 70 milioni di persone in tutto il mondo sono state costrette da persecuzioni, conflitti, violenze e violazioni dei diritti umani a fuggire dalle loro case. Di questi, oltre 20 milioni sono rifugiati, di cui l'84% è ospitato da nazioni a basso o medio reddito che hanno sistemi sanitari e idrici deboli.

-Le condizioni di vita sovraffollate e orribili nei campi di detenzione che si trovano nelle isole greche, forniscono la tempesta perfetta per uno scoppio violento di COVID-19, avverte Medici senza frontiere (MSF) in una dichiarazione rilasciata il 13 marzo. Poiché il primo caso COVID-19 è stato confermato a Lesbo, altrove sull'isola, l'evacuazione dei campi è diventata più urgente che mai. In alcune parti del campo di Moria, c'è solo un rubinetto per ogni 1.300 persone e nessun sapone disponibile. Le famiglie di cinque o sei nuclei dormono in spazi non superiori ai tre metri quadrati. Ci sono 42.000 richiedenti asilo intrappolati nei cinque hotspot delle isole greche, che hanno la capacità di ospitare solo 6.000 persone in totale. Tra questi, ci sono molti pazienti con malattie croniche come il diabete, quindi estremamente vulnerabili al COVID-19.

-# Senzatetto
-
-Ecco alcune risorse che esaminano l'impatto e l'articolazione delle cure per coloro che affrontano i/le senzatetto durante l'emergenza del Coronavirus. Molti lavoratori/trici in condizioni precarie, liberi professionisti in tutto il mondo, corrono attualmente il grave rischio di diventare senzatetto, a causa della mancanza di reddito e dell'incapacità di pagare l'affitto. Mentre alcuni paesi stanno introducendo alcune misure attenuanti come forme di reddito di quaranntena o come, ad esempio in Italia, la sospensione temporanea dei pagamenti dei mutui e la riduzionne le bollette - altri paesi non hanno o stanno avviando tali misure. Ciò comporta un onere significativo per tutti gli inquilini che, avendo perso il lavoro, non sanno come pagare l'affitto, soprattutto in quelle aree urbane senza limiti di prezzo agli affitti o nessun diritto degli inquilini. Aree in cui la speculazione sugli affitti, la gentrificazione e Airbnb sono lasciati incontrollati. Inoltre, mentre i campus si chiudono, molti studenti stanno affrontando una crisi abitativa.

-Appello ai cittadini per evitare il CONTAGIO - ovvero, contro il "divenire sbirro" di chiunque...
-
-
-Se vedete un venditore ambulante per strada, non chiamate il numero indicato dal governo per segnalarlo. Andate a comprargli qualcosa. Se notate che gli manca una maschera, non rimproveratelo, vedete se potete procurargliene una.
-
-Non fare il poliziotto.

-Se sentite che il vostro vicino ha dei sintomi, non guardate fuori dalla finestra per vedere se lo beccate che esce a fare la spesa. Chiedetegli se ha bisogno di qualcosa.
-
-Non fare il poliziotto.
-
-Se vedete gente per strada che cammina nel vostro quartiere, cercate di non sospettare il peggio, non chiamate il 112. Forse dovevano andare a lavorare. Non tutti hanno il privilegio di chiudersi in casa con il frigorifero pieno.
-
-Non fare il poliziotto.
-
-Se dovete uscire a fare la spesa, non guardate male chi avete intorno per paura di infettarvi. Salutate. Fate conversazione. Non è il vostro nemico.
-
-Non fare il poliziotto.
-
-Se incontri qualcuno che vive per strada, non attraversare l'altro lato della strada per paura. Se potete, uscite di casa con del cibo, una maschera in più, un po' d'acqua in una tanica.

-# Crisis of domesticity
-
-Forced domesticity puts a strain even on non-violent people and families. For many, #stayathome is by no means a reassuring invitation. To read up more on domestic violence resulting from forced domesticity you can go to the session . And too often the youngest victims of the domestic violence - children - risk being overlooked altogether. If a co-habitating group also includes children, perhaps confined to a house that is too small and without accessible outside space, the situation becomes very complex and escalate! Therefore, it is useful to find ways of ensuring a peaceful and joyful coexistence for all.
-
-# Explaining the pandemic to the kids
-
-The first step in that direction for kids is to explain, in the language appropriate to their age, how are we living through this emergency period and why such situations occurs.
-
-In the last weeks, many initiatives aimed at kids have been put in place to ease the prolonged time at home or in self-isolation, including different uses of existing technologies; demands for the lifting of paywalls to access digital archives; the production of children-specific content covering the ongoing emergency; and finally, collective care practices between families, neighborhoods and larger groups of people.
-
-
-*New unthinkable fields of negotiation between adults and children...*
-
-
-# Keeping the kids active
-
-Here are some tips and experiences from the Italian context for inspiration:
-
-## Don't forget to dance!
-Not moving is deadly for anyone, especially for the kids. In forced quarantine, it is useful to define a time of day where you dedicate yourself to the bodily activity, everyone according to your physical abilities. If you can't leave the house to walk or run, just turn up the music and dance to exhaustion!
-
-## Record your own audio stories and share them in your community
-Read aloud stories for children into a recorder, articulating the words well and without haste. You already have a recorder, it's your smartphone! Invite other people to do it as well and open an email to collect the audio content. To spread the stories you can open a Telegram channel where you can upload them from time to time (but be careful that two per day are more than enough!). Or uplaod them to various chats you maintain with your communities. Here is an [example](https://t.me/storiealtelefono) of an Italian Telegram Channnel opened recently.
-
-## Produce and use content *made by children* for children
-Understanding what is happening is not easy for anyone, let alone for children who are not clear on what a virus is and, for this reason, can only perceive the current restrictions as incomprehensible. For this reason, talking with the little ones is important and can also lead to the creation of new points of view and new content around the emergency. Producing some of this content with them (audio recordings, videos, drawings, writings...), or showing them this content, is a way to share what is happening without language barriers. Furthermore, it serves to overcome the fear of the unknown.
-
-There are also guides to the epidemic aimed at kids, such as [Guida Galattica al Coronavirus / A Curious Guide for Corageous Kids](https://www.muba.it/files/uploads/2020/03/10/guida-galattica-al-corona-virus-a-curious-guide-for-courageous-kids.pdf) (in ENG and ITA). On the net, there are many more "homemade" materials that are very funny and useful for spending time together, which can be easily accessed or replicated together with a smartphone.
-
-This [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttfyyQGdZFg&feature=youtu.be) (in ITA) is a useful example. This is an Italia radio channel ["In diretta per le amiche"](http://www.shareradio.it/diretta-le-amiche-gli-amici-quarta/) done by kids.
-
-To get kids inspired to do animation, they can watch through [EXPERIMENT 120 YouTube playlist of experimental films](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKQRV4XKZt4&list=PLXnmdJHep6dS8H1BtTNHjgCm6KUz2L1Q1) selected and aggregated by [Studio Walter](https://www.instagram.com/mariepierrebonniol/). EXPERIMENT 120 presents "120 years of experimental films for children and young people in 22 films, most of them being very short (between 1 and 4 minutes), and which can be watched from the age of 7. The films can be enjoyed by people of all languages." To get them to start creating animation, they can follow [this Instagram tutorial](https://www.instagram.com/tv/B-K2MG7FyuS) created by Cool Marbles Stuff.
-
-# Collectivize the child-care
-In this emergency, many families are facing enormous financial and work-related difficulties. In some cases, they have will lose months of wages, in others, they are forced to go to work despite the fact that schools are closed. Leaving children with their grandparents is to be avoided, since age and underlying health conditions are one of the main reasons for mortality in the case of a Coronavirus infection. Therefore, it is better to organize child care in another way:
-
-a. Coordinate with other neighborhood families to manage the kids together (forming a fixed, closed group would be the best).
-b. Organize a neighborhood baby-sitter service through people who make themselves available for play (check if there is a solidarity group active in your area).
-
-Here's a Milanese [example](hhttps://www.facebook.com/Ri.make1/photos/a.1461860884067343/2433143390272416/?type=3&theater), a simple shared spreadsheet, on how child care can be set up through the coordination between people who need help from people who have time available, and with the support of a lawyer to manage eventual limitations of movement.
-
-
-# Don't give up on kids socialising!
-Even children can use technologies. In this period of isolation, tools like [jitsi.org](https://www.jitsi.org) allow you to organize collective video calls that even kids can participate in. Organize virtual pick-nicks with other families and chats among children. While the children interect with each other, go do something else, respect their privacy!
-
-# Homework
-Depending on the school, children are given more or less homework at this time.For children in the preschool and elementary school groups, the suggestion is to decide together with them a specific time of day in which to do homework without leaving them alone, while not burdening them with an excessive workload. It is better if they read an extra book out of their own will!
-
-For teenagers, things are more complex, because they can use different kinds of online lessons. Here, too, the advice would be to consider the emotional aspect of the students, given the complexity of the situation, and not only their performance and productivity.

-
-# Understanding the invisible labour
-
-
-This workshop aims to collectively visualize the invisible labour taking place within institutions, communities, families, spaces and groups; to analyze the material condition of invisibility of those activities; and, finally, to rethink what are the value and values that those activities bring to the whole context.
-
-The workshop can be conceived as a stand-alone session, however, the suggested follow-up would be the  workshop.
-
-
-## Keywords
-
-Care, Work, Value/s, Power Relations
-
-## Timing
-
-3 hours

-
-# Let's learn together
-
-## Step 1: Introduction
-
-Ask the participants to introduce themselves and to breifly speak about a workplace[^workplace] they are part of (3 minutes each).
-
-## Step 2: Analyzing our daily work-spaces! (20 min.)
-
-Split participants into groups of 3-4 people and ask each of them to choose a workplace they are part of. Ask each group to analyze together their respective workplaces by looking at different tasks involved in sustaining the workers and maintaining the facilities of the workplaces themselves. Ask each group to list each task on a post-it. Guide a discussion to reflect when a given task is visible and acknowledged and when it is not. For instance, you can ask questions such as: “What kinds of workers are invisible in each workplace? (i.e. cleaners, software maintainers, cooks)” or: “What jobs get the best wages?”.
-
-## Step 3: Magical discoveries (40 min.)
-
-Place several print-outs of the [Map 1](/topic/commoningcare/mappingtheinvisible/tools/1.MAP-01.jpg) at the centre of the room and ask each group to report back on the tasks they have identified by placing the post-its within the four areas on the map: visible, invisible, waged, unwaged. Facilitate a collective discussion around each map, in order to reveal those aspects that remain hidden behind visible tasks and activities. At the end, take a photo of all of the maps.
-
-## Step 4: Let’s read (30 min.)
-
-Collectively read Silvia Federici's “Wages Against Housework” pamphlet, changing the reader at the end of each paragraph (20 paragraphs). After each paragraph, ask if there are any words that need to be explained. If there are, stop and collectively discuss them for not more than 5 minutes each.
-
-## Step 5: Rethinking the value of values (30 min.)
-
-After the collective reading, go back to the maps (link) at the centre of the room and instruct the participants that they have the option to move one post-it across one of the maps. Invite them to explain the reasons for their choice. For instance, would they want a task to be more or less visible, more or less waged? Why? Repeat this process until the group has no further changes to make. Take a second photo of all the transformed maps.
-
-## Step 6: Conclusions (20 min.)
-
-Ask participants how they feel about the workshop and invite them to discuss their own institutions, communities, families, spaces and groups based on their first analysis. Send them the two photos of the maps.
-
-
-[^workplace]: workplace here broadly denotes a place where a person is involved in some type of work: office, cultural centre, social centre, home, and so on.

-title: "Mapping the Unspoken"
----
-
-This workshop aims to collectively visualize what remains 'unspoken' in a makerspace or hackerspace; to analyze the invisibility of conditioning deriving from certain habits and practices; and, finally, to think about which behaviours should be encouraged in order to embody the values of diversity.
-
-- Warm-up:
- - Introduce yourself and tell which machines and tools you use or not use in your space - makerspace, fablab or hackerspace - and why (5 minutes per participant).
-- Discussion:
- - For each of the machines and tools, make a list of who is using them, why and how (40 min).
-- Working group:
- - Imagine how to involve a more diverse crowd and make your space more accessible (30 min).
-- Wrap up:
- - Write up the main insights from the discussion in order to activate some concrete practices that can foster equality and accessibility (30 min).

-title: "Micro-Macro Connections"
----
-
-The goal of this session is to reveal the invisible connections between material culture and consumerism (macro) and their molecular origins (micro). These connections are highly politicized because they have been intentionally made invisible by the corporations who manufacture these products. So how can we make visible the harmful molecules that are present in our everyday lives, in what we wear, buy, and consume? How is our shampoo political?
-
-Participants will go on a walk and perform a “xenoestrogen witch hunt” visiting common convenience stores, food markets, and perhaps even residential and industrial sites, depending on the local context of the workshop. Using print and online resources, participants will be able to identify toxic ingredients and molecules and strategize on ways to avoid them in the future.
-
-Connecting this with body and gender politics, the participants are also encouraged to rethink their own bodies and gender subjectivities through the molecular lens. How are our bodies industrially modulated? How is this inextricably tied to corporate and industrial capitalism? How does the presence of these harmful molecules disrupt not only our physical bodies but also on the ideological level, i.e. our prescribed notions of normal and natural? How can and should we act in a permanently polluted world?

-# Precarity, layoffs and moneylessness
-
-As public events are getting cancelled, educational, cultural and recreational institutions closed, measures of distancing, home isolation and quarantine introduced, and the economy slows down, the outbreak creates conditions of unemployment, where workers suddenly face rent, subsistence and medical costs they are no longer able to cover. First affected are the precarious - temporary, zero-hour, on-demand and freelance - workers, and among them inordinately [women](https://www.actainrete.it/2020/03/03/limpatto-del-coronavirus-sui-freelance-i-risultati-di-un-sondaggio/) and migrants. They will be joined by parents with kids that can't go to nurseries, kindergartens and schools or carers attending to the elderly or disabled members of the family in isolation, who will have to give up their work to attend to those who need their care. As the pandemic spreads and persists, the employers will be shedding workers, adding many more to those who already are in a situation of insecurity. At the same time, many precarious workers who belong to at-risk groups and should stay at home will have to continue to work in overexposed conditions as cleaners and carers as they cannot afford not to work.
-
-This calls for a number of temporary measures, such as the expansion of sick leave to all workers, suspension of work requirements for workfare, quarantine allowances for carers, suspension of rent and mortgage payments and subsidy of living costs. Some governments have no choice but to roll-out such measures. But we need to acknowledge that the situation is largely the consequence of a long-term casualisation of labour, dismantling of social protections, privatisation of social care provision and systemic devaluation of care work. Thus, in the longer, post-pandemic horizon, this calls for more systemic demands such as the abolition of casualised labour conditions, the introduction of a job guarantee, the expansion of healthcare and social security to all, and (better) compensation for care work. Or even more radically, the introduction of a Universal Basic Income and Universal Basic Assets, or thorough rethinking of the purposes of the economic system and the division of labour in it.
-
-However, at the moment, many people will be left without money, so they will depend on the support of their friends and family or mutualism to make it through the period of the pandemic. Here are some ideas about how to redistribute and attenuate their hardship, but also potentially lay the groundwork for networks of support and collaborative economy for the future:
-
-# Mutual aid ideas
-
-## Money: solidarity funds
-
-Within your community (political, neighbourhood, household, among a group of friends, or with your family) you can organise a common pot to redistribute money in order to prevent hunger and support each other's needs. This can be done in a very simple manner by creating a shared spreadsheet with three columns: list of participating people, weekly amount of contributed money, and a dividend for each person. Agree on the principles of contribution and dividend in advance. To transfer money, you can either have a messenger who can collect and redistribute physically or use a shared account or a tab in the same bank to send the money around. You can also open a [common wallet](https://vimeo.com/295537042) to collectivise income in a group.
-
-## Resources: shared purchases and goods
-
-You can also do the same for purchases. Create a spreadsheet with two tables: the first with a list of participating people and weekly amount of contributed money, and the second with a list of needs and prices. Keep the balance of accounts. Make the purchases together.
-
-You can also share non-consumables such as tools or vehicles, organise a distributed library of things, by keeping a shared spreadsheet with columns for items, lenders and borrowers.
-For sharing to be sustainable, establish rules such as: return things clean, return on time, learn to use them properly and report damages immediately.
-Source:
-[Five simple rules](https://intercom.help/library-of-things/en/articles/2792457-the-five-simple-rules-of-borrowing)
-
-When you can, buy the groceries from your local producers, ask them to organize a pick-up meeting every week with already mixed boxes of fruits, vegetables or whatever else. Try to keep the money circulating in your community for as long as possible.
-
-## Labour: Common.coin
-
-However, given that currently there is little money that precarious workers can pool together, they can try to organise a mutual exchange of labour they can themselves provide to the community.
-
-This they can do for instance by means of a distributed ledger (i.e. blockchain) system that was developed MACAO Cultural Centre in Milan, together with Dyne.org and a number of other communities, to collectivise economy and labour in the centre. To create a system of shared labour for your group, you can start a Common.coin wallet using [this tutorial](https://commonfare.net/it/stories/commoncoin-wallet-tutorial-31286f71-f28b-4f36-9739-4f7143f1bdb2) and create your own currency [here](https://commonfare.net/it/stories/group-currency-tutorial). For technical support reach out to [Dyne.org](https://swapi.dyne.org/).
-
-## Labour: Timebank
-
-[Timebanks](https://timebanks.org/what-is-timebanking/) are money systems where currency is accounted in time that is needed to provide services to other member of the community. For every service offered by one member, another member needs to agree to credit the time needed to complete that task. Timebanks can be organised by communities larg or small to help their members coordinate allocation of labour to collective needs. There are [many easy-to-use software implementations](https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Timebanking_Software_Platforms) to facilitate exchange on timebanking principles.
-
-## Open a hotline for legal and union support
-
-Organise a telephone hotline for lawyers and union representatives to provide workers (precarious or otherwise) with counsel related to their labour rights (e.g. how to avoid being forced to work where it entails risk or more generally where employers are loading off the cost of the crisis on workers). Find a good overview of labour-related issues in Italian [here](https://jacobinitalia.it/reddito-e-solidarieta-la-crisi-sanitaria-non-sia-pagata-da-chi-non-lavora/).

-
-# Discussion
-
-- What examples of autonomous emotional support are there in your context?
-- Sometimes state-sanctioned and institutional sources of support can be damaging, incomplete, inacessible, exclusionary, or just non-existent. What barriers and gaps pertain in your contexts, and how are these adressed through autonomous provision?
-- Who is offering the support and how? In formal groups or through informal support? Are some people routinely providing more support than others?
-- Sometimes mutual aid is more readily available for people who can be fit into certain categories, such as 'identities', 'symptoms', or 'diagnoses'.
-- For example, people in a certain social setting might be equipped to help each other deal with experiences that can be called 'depression' or 'anxiety', but what about people whose experience includes 'hearing voices', 'unusual beliefs', or other intense emotional or dissociative states?
-- Also, we may feel that we are very good at responding to a crisis, but not the ongoing work of taking care. Or vice versa.

-# Method: Barometer
-
-Barometer is often used method when we want to question our and others’ positionality and attitudes towards a problem or an issue that arises and pertains to our socio-political context. This method is not a debate or an argument but rather a personal positioning and reflecting. Deploying this method requires focus and good facilitation (it can be facilitated by one or more people or by the group itself, although that might be a challenge for those involved).
-
-Barometer is an activity that requires an action coordinating body and mind. It is a physically drawn line in the space with two ends that represent a spectrum agree-disagree. The participants are asked to position themselves along the line in reference to the level of their (dis)agreement with the statement that facilitator(s) reads. Statements are usually provocative and critical, and they might be painful for some participants. Facilitator(s) can decide whether they will go with one or more statements, depending on where the group is at.
-
-In this activity, participants are asked to position themselves and explain their positionality, reflect on their decisions and actions, question their own way of seeing things. They are asked to articulate their thoughts. They are asked not to respond to others but rather use others’sresponses to think about their own repositioning.
-
-Once a statement is read, participants are asked to position themselves, and that is when the “conversation” starts. Facilitator(s) should remind participants not to respond to others. Also, facilitators should ask, after a few people have talked, if someone changed their mind and would like to reposition. It is crucial in this activity to hear voices along the whole spectrum.
-
-Time: 30 minutes to 120 minutes
-
-## Possible statements
-
-> Legal is ethical!
-
-> Solidarity is crime!
-
-> Cops are just doing their job!

-# Biotranslab. Open Laboratory of Hackable Gyna(eco)logy
-
-> "There are not two sexes, but a multiplicity of genetic, hormonal, chromosomal, genital, sexual and sensual configurations. There is no truth about gender, the masculine and the feminine, apart from a set of normative cultural fictions.” - Paul B. Preciado. Testo Junkie. Sex, Drugs, and Biopolitics in The Pharmacopornographic Era[^1]
-
-Biotranslab, articulated and coordinated by [Pechblenda](https://pechblenda.hotglue.me/), one of the multiple disruptive nodes of [Hackteria](https://www.hackteria.org/) is a nomadic laboratory open to experimentation with biomaterials and technology(ies), based on a learning-by-doing approach. As a queer lab, it seeks the opening of a particular space-time, a place for the confluence of cyber-cyborgs, cyber-witches and degenerate alchemists.
-
-With influences ranging from cyberfeminism, posthumanism, trans*activism or new materialism among others, Biotranslab casts light on horizons which are neither non-essentialist nor binary, and which stretch beyond notions of gender, race, sex, species and class. Thus nature is understood as a place of conflict traversed by technology which must be continually re-articulated and hacked.
-
-From a trans-hack-feminist perspective, Biotranslab is a co-laboratory based on Do It Together bio(info)technology — namely, self-managed and collective forms of organisation, work, care, learning, and so on — with which to consider a critical review of gynaecology through tools and technology of biological exploration. With a view to sharing knowledge related to certain practices, beyond social and cultural constructs of reductionist sciences, this workshop looks to create emancipatory techno-bio-political tools that enable control over the access to the body and another gynaecology to be reclaimed, as well as generating DIT materials of diagnoses that form communities of shared knowledge.
-
-**Pedagogical tips:** It is important to generate a comfortable space for dialogue as well as an intimate space where the cervical views can be carried out. Not all participants need to feel comfortable under the same circumstances. It is recommended that the workshop be held over three days. This helps to generate bonds and constituent relationships among the participants. But since resources (both material and temporary) are not always available, this session can be adapted to the availability of each context: from 1 day to 5 days or, why not, a summer long lab.
-
-# Tools
-
-- Cutter / sharp knife
-- Screwdriver, small
-- Hotglue gun
-- Soldering iron (optional)
-
-# Materials
-
-# Microscope (for 1 microscope)
-
-Basics: 1 Webcam/ Cardboard (thick) / Wood, 20 x 30 cm/ Foamboard, 20 x 30 cm/ M4 adjustable screw, approx. 15 cm long, with fitting screw nuts/ Duct tape/ Blu-Tack adhesive/ Hot glue/ Rubberbands.
-
-Optional external LED light source: 1 switch/ 1 white light-emitting diode (LED)/ 1 battery (9V)/ 1 wired battery connection/ 1 resistor (1 k Ω )/ 1 potentiometer (20 k Ω )/ 30 cm insulated wire/ garden wire.
-
-# Preparation
-
-Print copies of reading materials and give one copy to each participant.
-*If you don not want to make copies, and in case you have access to computers and internet, you can consult the online materials/guide.
-
-Making the DIT MICROSCOPE includes converting an ordinary webcam into a microscope. The webcam’s conversion can be quickly carried out manually. The electronics remains unaltered, only the position of the lens is changed. A solid platform enables fixing and accurately focusing on tiny objects of study. The objects are illuminated with a light-emitting diode (LED).
-
-The DIT MICROSCOPE consists of three components, assembled in this sequence:
-- Converted webcam
-- Stable observation platform
-- Illumination with a light-emitting diode (LED)
-
-# Introduction
-
-You can spend some time doing an introduction on transhackfeminist practices, for example, possible issues to keep in mind in the introduction:
-
-Quick overview of some individual and collective research processes. Path towards the technological autonomy of body, mind and environment. Thinking together nature and technology, artificial and not-artificial, and other binomials.
-Body, immersion of the body in technology: crossings, extensions and hybridizations. Potentialities of the technological body, performativity and transgender. Uses of technology /postgender/chimeras and body extensions. Recreate, invent and perform our desires dreaming and fantasizing with new experiences.
-
-# Step 1: Build a microscope
-
-Introduction of the main optics construction technique for the elaboration of a microscope from a webcam.

-# Biononymous_Biogenfutur Protocol to generate Eraser and Replacer Sprays
-
-We generally tend to believe that any type of DNA testing requires hyper-sophisticated technological devices, as well as complex knowledge that requires specific and, in most cases, academic training. This workshop aims to replicate an open protocol to learn how to do a DNA extraction from your cheeks cells, as well as to generate two sprays that, on the one hand, can erase traces of DNA and on the other can replace the traces of DNA left by an individual with a mixture of many DNAs, which prevents an identification process based on a DNA test. Why is that? Because when we talk about surveillance, we are very aware of certain risks and control strategies based on big data or meta data, but generally we are not so aware of the importance of bio data and control techniques that can be implemented with biological data.
-
-This workshop will introduce participants to methods and processes to learn how to extract DNA samples from cheek cells, how to erase your DNA and how to replace it with genetic noise, that is to say: how to articulate tactical tools of counter-surveillance.
-
-Taking evolutionary biology as a reference, if surveillance is a strategy based on struggle, our response is based on mutual aid.
-
-# Overview
-
-- Introduction (30 min)
-- How to extract your DNA (1 hour)
-- How to erase your DNA (1 hour)
-- How to replace your DNA (30 min)
-- Wrap up (30 min)
-
-# Materials
-
-To extract: electric kettle/ shrink wrap/ measuring cups/ 1.5ml micro centrifuge tubes/ 9% saline solution/ 10% chelex solution/ tube racks/ centrifuge (optional)/small cups/ micropipet
-
-To erase: distilled water/ bleach/ measuring cups/ funnel/ spray bottle/ kimwipes tissues or paper towel/ nitrile or latex gloves
-
-To replace: DNA mixture/ distilled water/ DNA perservative (optional) / pipets/ spray bottle
-
-# LTT [Learning Tools Together]
-
-Proposal: to learn how to extract a DNA sample in a simple way, losing the fear related to the specificity of biotechnologies. Development of two tools for bioanonymity: DNA eraser spray / DNA replacer spray.
-
-Learn how to be protected from against new forms of biological surveillance.
-
-## Preparation
-
-Print copies of the reference material (guides/protocols - see below) and give one copy to each participant.
-
-If you don not want to make copies, and in case you have access to computers and internet, you can consult the online protocols.
-
-## Step 1: Introduction (30 min)
-
-Brief introduction to the relationship between biological data and control/surveillance structures.
-
-Recommendation of readings, projects and different resources in relation to this issue (see references section below).
-
-First contact with the protocol to generate the sprays as a trigger for doubts, questions and proposals.
-
-## Step 2: How to extract your DNA (1 hour)
-
-Follow the steps indicated in the protocol developed by Biononymous and Biofutures.
-
-Source: http://biononymous.me/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/EXTRACT.pdf

-## Step 3: How to erase your DNA (1 hour)
-
-Follow the steps indicated in the protocol developed by Biononymous and Biofutures.
-
-Source: http://biononymous.me/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/ERASE.pdf

-## Step 4: How to replace your DNA (30 min)
-
-Follow the steps indicated in the protocol developed by Biononymous and Biofutures.
-
-Source: http://biononymous.me/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/REPLACE.pdf
-
-## Step 5: Wrap up (30 min)
-
-Once the activity has been carried out, we can dedicate time for collective debate/reflection (in case the activity was done in a group) on which issues, concerns, interests and/or surprises we found in relation to bio-surveillance. Are there any care tactics that we can articulate/implement? Or, for example, how do we consider the impact of affection (care) when we share information, resources, tools and take care of each other?

-title: "Part Four: Patterns"
----
-
-# Part four: Patterns
-**Is this the end or is this the beginning?**
-
-Whether actually or ideologically, the things we relied on to help us survive turned out not to work in the ways we hoped they would: financial system, medical system, government. Long before COVID-19, a lot was crumbling (and the effects of the crumbling was always worse for people outside of white heteronormativity), but now it is not possible to avoid it for anyone.
-
-According to an abolitionist framework, whenever broken systems crumble we have two types of work to do. One is to support the destruction of what isn't working and perhaps mourn its loss. The other is to create cooperative systems and ways of living that will work in the future and allow us to thrive. Now and in the coming months, economic recession, many people will experience a kind of end of the world: we will lose jobs, houses, aspirations and a sense of “normal” and many things we thought were necessary. But maybe we well also realize that so much of what we felt was normal and necessary wasn’t working for us, individually or collectively, but we had been made too busy trying to survive to notice. For some of us, the lockdown is the moment when the band-aid gets ripped off and we have an excuse to start fresh. We can demolish in the morning and rebuild in the afternoon.
-
-We are able to reproduce our lives within capitalism and other systems by forming habits of behaviour, of thought, of hope, of fear and of relationship, and these habits also do their part to reproduce those broader systems. These systems keep us so busy and on edge of survival (physical, emotional, social) that we rarely have the consistency of time to examine let alone change our habits, even if they don’t actually serve us well.
-From within the lockdown. we have a chance to change some of our habits and patterns, so we don't have to go back to an expensive and violent normal. It's interesting to think about the world we want to live in in a theoretical way, but now we have a chance to experiment with how we live our daily lives and how we value ourselves and each other, and let those practices define the future.
-Of course, contrary to the new age, self-help industry’s suggestion, simply believing something doesn’t change reality, and that kind of individualism will only reproduce capitalism. Organizing and organization will be required, and we have the fight of our lives ahead of us. But a revolution like the one we need will not come about or stick unless we, as its participants, transform ourselves together. Changing our patterns and habits alone won’t liberate us, but it will help us prepare for liberation, and for the world we will have to build.
-
-## Prediction, cognition and emotion
-> “Predictions are basically the way your brain works. It's business as usual for your brain. Predictions are the basis of every experience that you have. They are the basis of every action that you take. In fact, predictions are what allow you to understand the words that I'm speaking as they come out of my --” Lisa Feldman Barrett
-
-Neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett explains that, while we typically assume prediction is a complex and advanced mental function, it’s actually at the core of how we think, and deeply connected with our emotions. As we experience the world and even in our dreams our brains are constantly making predictions about what will happen next, based on our past experiences. “Predictions are primal” she explains “They help us to make sense of the world in a quick and efficient way. So your brain does not react to the world. Using past experience, your brain predicts and constructs your experience of the world.” This all happens at lightening speed, outside of our conscious mind. A lot of our emotional life stems from this: when our past experience has shaped our brain to expect somethign good from an experience, we can be pleased, calm and satisfied when our predictions about that experience are right, and the opposite is also true. We can become distraught, angry or hostile when our predictions are incorrect.
-
-Ultimately, then, the way our brain experiences and makes sense of the world is through a combination of habit or patterns and emotion. This agrees with a lot of our common experiences of feeling trapped in cycles or stuck in a rut. When we provide support to friends or family, it’s not just about commiseration but helping them recognize patterns and unhelpful emotional responses. If that’s all true, and if the brain is as elastic and changeable as we know it is, then we can repattern and transform the brain, and ourselves, by creating and sustaining new habits and patterns.
-
-What happens when everyone, at the same time, experiences the need to create new habits, when the pressures within which we created our patterns disappear?
-
-## De-habituation from capitalism
-So many of our patterns and habits have been formed as ways to survive within the pressures of capitalism, but in this moment many of those pressures have evaporated. There is a rare opportunity to experiment and build new habits and patterns..
-For example, within capitalism, we have habituated ourselves to imagine that when we receive something, even if it’s a life-giving object or service, we are obligated to reciprocate somethign considered to be of equal value, whether it is for gum or toothpaste, massage or rent. On the one hand, maybe the impulse for fairness comes from a good place, but in many ways this habit is deeply unhelpful. For instance, most of our most important relationships, with friends or parents, are necessarily unequal in terms of the time, energy and “resources” one of us commits relative to the other. Your brain is so programmed that you give something equivalent to what you receive, but that's not always appropriate. Sometimes people give and they don’t want anything in return. In fact, this inclination is absolutely essential to society and life. It works because, as the saying goes, what goes around comes around: giving without the need for reciprocal exchange is something we all benefit from and we all do, but not always with the same people. But in spite of the fact this is central to our lives, it's hard to see and trust because our brains are so patterned by our experience of capitalism that insists that all value comes from competitive exchange. We feel compelled to give, or even guilty if you don’t reciprocate. This is a big gross pattern.
-I have a friend in Palestine and she told me that until recently her mom had never bought food. She had only grown it or raised it or was given it. To spend money on food was, for her, absurd. I have only ever bought food. This made me consider how deeply limiting my experience and patterns have been, formed as they are in a transactional culture.
-
-## Creating new patterns
-
-The Hologram necessarily relies on and makes possible the creation of new patterns. When three people turn their care and attention on one it fundamentally challenges many of the habits we have formed to survive under capitalism. We cannot change our habits alone. It is partly for this reason that we consider the hologram a teacher and not just a subject of care: when she allows herself the vulnerability and generosity to accept help in identifying, breaking and forming new patterns, she offers an opportunity for the whole triangle to learn how such a process might work. Even accepting such care, or learning to provide it, necessarily means we have to break many patterns and habits. In The Hologram we quite literally rewire our brains, together.
-Here are some examples of patterns we transform:
-
-**Complicating reciprocity**
-You receive care but you don't give back to the person or people who gave it to you. There is no equal exchange, tit for tat. There's a chance here to reprogram our ideas about reciprocation and transaction within a caring network of people, when we know that care is being well distributed and that reciprocation is always happening, and it isn’t a mystery how to do it well. Importantly, The Hologram as a distributed social technology, “works” when many hologram groups are interlinked, so that reciprocity isn’t a two-way street but a network: those who provide care do, in the end, also receive it, but from others.
-
-**Learning to see each others’ patterns**
-This is the primal idea of the hologram: even after a short time, but especially after a long time (10 years), a triangle is likely to be able to see a hologram’s patterns and help her move past them if they do not serve her. There is something profoundly powerful and transformative about observing and identifying others’ patterns and they help us recognize our own patterns and habits which, while they might be very different, perhaps emerged from similar pressures and circumstances. This is one important reason why the hologram is a teacher, not a patient.
-
-**Creating new patterns**
-Within the hologram we have chances to think about creating new patterns for each other. A lot of us have had really shitty experiences receiving attention, care, commitment or asking for support. We build up psychic defence mechanisms based on these bad experiences, which makes it harder and harder to receive support. In the Hologram we have the opportunity to give ourselves and each other positive experiences of these things, outside of our family, friendship and professional commitments.

-## Activity 6
-To give yourself healing hands, so you can heal anyone or anything, even time.
-* Rub the palms of your hands together briskly for 3-5 minutes.
-* Then stretch your arms out to the sides, parallel to the floor, palms up, thumbs pointing back as if you are balancing a dish on each hand. Set a timer and do the “Breath of Fire” for 3 minutes: forcefully exhale from your nostrils in a rapid, rhythmic way (your body will automatically inhale between breaths). You can start by letting your tongue hang out and pant like a dog, then close your mouth and keep breathing through your nose.
-* After three minutes, inhale and hold the breath in and, with your arms still out to your sides, bend your wrists so your palms are facing out (away from the body), as if you were pushing out the walls on either side of you. Feel the energy in the center of the palms flowing to your entire body. Exhale and relax the breath.
-* Rub your hands together again for 2 minutes and continue Breath of Fire.
-* Inhale and hold your breath. With your arms still out to the sides, turn your elbows so your hands are in front of your chest, like you’re holding an 8-inch ball a few inches in front of your diaphragm, with the right hand flat on top of the ball and the left supporting it from below. Meditate on the exchange of energy between the palms of the hands for a few minutes.

-# Photocopying
-
-The session introduces learners to a long history of cultural and knowledge piracy. The practice of illegal copying and dissemination of works of culture and knowledge did not emerge with the digital networks. The purpose of this session is to discuss piracy as a long-standing practice emerging in response to the economic regulation of cultural production, creative labour and economic inequalities. Learners will find out more about the history of copying, copyright and unevenness in the creative and knowledge economy between the Global North and the Global South.
-
-The session introduces learners to:
-- a) a long history of illegal copying and historical transformations of what actually constitutes the illegal act of copying,
-- b) a workflow to scan and copy texts using a photocopier,
-- c) a workflow to prepare on paper and in digital texts for the next sessions.
-
-The example proposed as a point of entry into these historical legacies will be the legal case filed by a group of Britain-based academic publishers against the Rameshwari Photocopy Services, a print shop providing students at the Delhi School of Economics with the copied textbook materials from these publishers at a price an average Indian student can actually afford. In a surprising decision, a Delhi court has decided that the right of access to knowledge in the context of education trumps the commercial right of the publishers.
-
-The hands-on aspect will be learning to use a photocopier to scan and copy reading materials for the next session.
-
-
-## Session
-
-**Duration:** 90 minutes
-
-**Methods:** reading and discussing, learning by doing, learners have to use a photocopier
-
-
-**Task 1:**
-
-Learners should read in advance the following two texts:
-
-- Liang, Lawrence. “Academic Freedom and the Ownership of Knowledge.” Café Dissensus (blog), September 15, 2016.
-
-- Mars, Marcell, and Tomislav Medak. “System of a Takedown: Control and De-Commodification in the Circuits of Academic Publishing.” In Archives, edited by Andrew Lison, 47–68. Minneapolis, MI: University of Minnesota Press & meson.press, 2019.
-
-The discussion should start from learners' own experiences of copying and sharing in their education, how did their institutions tolerate, encourage or participate in the practice of sharing of texts, discuss if that illegal or legal
-
-**Task 2:**
-
-Learners should access a photocopier and:
-- learn how to copy on the machine so as to create and export a PDF
-- print copies of the texts for the next session

-# On the concept of piracy

-> The image of the pirate is at once spectral and ubiquitous. It haunts the imagination of international legal scholars, diplomats and statesmen involved in the war on terror. It returns in the headlines of international newspapers as an untimely ‘security threat’. It materializes on the most provincial cinematic screen and the most acclaimed works of fiction. It casts its shadow over the liquid spatiality of the Net, where cyber-activists, file-sharers and a large part of the global youth are condemned as pirates, often embracing that definition with pride rather than resentment. Today, the pirate remains a powerful political icon, embodying at once the persistent nightmare of an anomic wilderness at the fringe of civilization, and the fantasy of a possible anarchic freedom beyond the rigid norms of the state and of the market. And yet, what are the origins of this persistent ‘pirate myth’ in the Western political imagination? Can we trace the historical trajectory that has charged this ambiguous figure with the emotional, political and imaginary tensions that continue to characterize it? What can we learn from the history of piracy and the ways in which it intertwines with the history of imperialism and international trade? Drawing on international law, political theory, and popular literature, The Pirate Myth offers an authoritative genealogy of this immortal political and cultural icon, showing that the history of piracy – the different ways in which pirates have been used, outlawed and suppressed by the major global powers, but also fantasized, imagined and romanticised by popular culture – can shed unexpected light on the different forms of violence that remain at the basis of our contemporary global order.

-> "Piracy" is a concept that seems everywhere in the contemporary world. From the big screen with the dashing Jack Sparrow, to the dangers off the coast of Somalia; from the claims by the Motion Picture Association of America that piracy funds terrorism, to the political impact of pirate parties in countries like Sweden and Germany. While the spread of piracy provokes responses from the shipping and copyright industries, the reverse is also true: for every new development in capitalist technologies, some sort of "piracy" moment emerges. This may be most obvious in the current ideologisation of Internet piracy, where the rapid spread of so called pirate parties is developing into a kind of global political movement. While the pirates of Somalia seem a long way removed from Internet pirates illegally downloading the latest music hit, it is the assertion of this book that such developments indicate a complex interplay between capital flows and relations, late modernity, property rights and spaces of contestation. That is, piracy emerges at specific nodes in capitalist relations that create both blockages and leaks between different social actors. These various aspects of piracy form the focus for this book. It is a collection of texts that takes a broad perspective on piracy and attempts to capture the multidimensional impacts of piracy on capitalist society today. The book is edited by James Arvanitakis at the University of Western Sydney and Martin Fredriksson at Linköping University, Sweden.

-> Dissecting the conflicting views of the golden age of pirates—as romanticized villains on one hand and genuine social rebels on the other—this fascinating chronicle explores the political and cultural significance of these nomadic outlaws by examining a wide range of ethnographical, sociological, and philosophical standards. The meanings of race, gender, sexuality, and disability in pirate communities are analyzed and contextualized, as are the pirates' forms of organization, economy, and ethics. Going beyond simple swashbuckling adventures, the examination also discusses the pirates' self-organization, the internal make-up of the crews, and their early-1700s philosophies—all of which help explain who they were and what they truly wanted. Asserting that pirates came in all shapes, sexes, and sizes, this engaging study ultimately portrays pirates not just as mere thieves and killers but as radical activists with their own society and moral code fighting against an empire.

-https://library.memoryoftheworld.org/#/book/549a0aa1-6b3f-4c96-a020-97667345b89e
-> Pack your cutlass and blunderbuss--it's time to go a-pirating! The Invisible Hook takes readers inside the wily world of late seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century pirates. With swashbuckling irreverence and devilish wit, Peter Leeson uncovers the hidden economics behind pirates' notorious, entertaining, and sometimes downright shocking behavior. Why did pirates fly flags of Skull & Bones? Why did they create a "pirate code"? Were pirates really ferocious madmen? And what made them so successful? The Invisible Hook uses economics to examine these and other infamous aspects of piracy. Leeson argues that the pirate customs we know and love resulted from pirates responding rationally to prevailing economic conditions in the pursuit of profits.
-The Invisible Hook looks at legendary pirate captains like Blackbeard, Black Bart Roberts, and Calico Jack Rackam, and shows how pirates' search for plunder led them to pioneer remarkable and forward-thinking practices. Pirates understood the advantages of constitutional democracy--a model they adopted more than fifty years before the United States did so. Pirates also initiated an early system of workers' compensation, regulated drinking and smoking, and in some cases practiced racial tolerance and equality. Leeson contends that pirates exemplified the virtues of vice--their self-seeking interests generated socially desirable effects and their greedy criminality secured social order. Pirates proved that anarchy could be organized.

-> It has long been held that humans need government to impose social order on a chaotic, dangerous world. How, then, did early humans survive on the Serengeti Plain, surrounded by faster, stronger, and bigger predators in a harsh and forbidding environment? Pirates, Prisoners, and Lepers examines an array of natural experiments and accidents of human history to explore the fundamental nature of how human beings act when beyond the scope of the law. Pirates of the 1700s, the leper colony on Molokai Island, prisoners of the Nazis, hippie communes of the 1970s, shipwreck and plane crash survivors, and many more diverse groups—they all existed in the absence of formal rules, punishments, and hierarchies. Paul and Sarah Robinson draw on these real-life stories to suggest that humans are predisposed to be cooperative, within limits.
-What these “communities” did and how they managed have dramatic implications for shaping our modern institutions. Should today’s criminal justice system build on people’s shared intuitions about justice? Or are we better off acknowledging this aspect of human nature but using law to temper it? Knowing the true nature of our human character and our innate ideas about justice offers a roadmap to a better society.

-> In bold and intelligently written essays, historian Peter Linebaugh takes aim at the thieves of land, the polluters of the seas, the ravagers of the forests, the despoilers of rivers, and the removers of mountaintops. From Thomas Paine to the Luddites and from Karl Marx—who concluded his great study of capitalism with the enclosure of commons—to the practical dreamer William Morris who made communism into a verb and advocated communizing industry and agriculture, to the 20th-century communist historian E. P. Thompson, Linebaugh brings to life the vital commonist tradition. He traces the red thread from the great revolt of commoners in 1381 to the enclosures of Ireland, and the American commons, where European immigrants who had been expelled from their commons met the immense commons of the native peoples and the underground African American urban commons, and all the while urges the ancient spark of resistance.

-> At the end of the twentieth century, intellectual property rights collided with everyday life. Expansive copyright laws and digital rights management technologies sought to shut down new forms of copying and remixing made possible by the Internet. International laws expanding patent rights threatened the lives of millions of people around the world living with HIV/AIDS by limiting their access to cheap generic medicines. For decades, governments have tightened the grip of intellectual property law at the bidding of information industries; but recently, groups have emerged around the world to challenge this wave of enclosure with a new counter-politics of "access to knowledge" or "A2K." They include software programmers who took to the streets to defeat software patents in Europe, AIDS activists who forced multinational pharmaceutical companies to permit copies of their medicines to be sold in poor countries, subsistence farmers defending their rights to food security or access to agricultural biotechnology, and college students who created a new "free culture" movement to defend the digital commons. Access to Knowledge in the Age of Intellectual Property maps this emerging field of activism as a series of historical moments, strategies, and concepts. It gathers some of the most important thinkers and advocates in the field to make the stakes and strategies at play in this new domain visible and the terms of intellectual property law intelligible in their political implications around the world.

-Vandana Shiva. Protect or Plunder? Understanding Intellectual Property Rights. Zed, 2001.
-> Intellectual property rights, TRIPS, patents - they sound technical, even boring. Yet, as Vandana Shiva shows, what kinds of ideas, technologies, identification of genes, even manipulations of life forms can be owned and exploited for profit by giant corporations is a vital issue for our times. In this readable and compelling introduction to an issue that lies at the heart of the socalled knowledge economy, Vandana Shiva makes clear how this Western-inspired and unprecedented widening of the concept does not in fact stimulate human creativity and the generation of knowledge. Instead, it is being exploited by transnational corporations in order to increase their profits at the expense of the health of ordinary people, and the poor in particular, and the age-old knowledge and independence of the world's farmers. Intellectual protection is being transformed into corporate plunder. Little wonder popular resistance around the world is rising to the WTO that polices this new intellectual world order, the pharmaceutical, biotech and other corporations which dominate it, and the new technologies they are foisting upon us.

Since the land, the forests, the oceans, and the atmosphere have already been colonized, eroded, and polluted, she argues, Northern capital is now carving out new colonies to exploit for gain: the interior spaces of the bodies of women, plants and animals.

-> As technological progress marches on, so anxiety over the shape of the public domain is likely to continue if not increase. This collection helps to define the boundaries within which the debate over the shape of law and policy should take place. From historical analysis to discussion of contemporary developments, the importance of the public domain in its cultural and scientific contexts is explored by lawyers, scientists, economists, librarians, journalists and entrepreneurs. The contributions will both deepen and enliven the reader's understanding of the public domain in its many guises, and will also serve to highlight the public domain's key role in innovation. This book will appeal not only to students and researchers coming from a variety of fields, but also to policy-makers in the IP field and those more generally interested in the public domain, as well as those more directly involved in the current movements towards open access, open science and open source.

-> Intellectual property law, or IP law, is based on certain assumptions about creative behavior. The case for regulation assumes that creators have a fundamental legal right to prevent copying, and without this right they will under-invest in new work. But this premise fails to fully capture the reality of creative production. It ignores the range of powerful non-economic motivations that compel creativity, and it overlooks the capacity of creative industries for self-governance and innovative social and market responses to appropriation. This book reveals the on-the-ground practices of a range of creators and innovators. In doing so, it challenges intellectual property orthodoxy by showing that incentives for creative production often exist in the absence of, or in disregard for, formal legal protections. Instead, these communities rely on evolving social norms and market responses—sensitive to their particular cultural, competitive, and technological circumstances—to ensure creative incentives. From tattoo artists to medical researchers, Nigerian filmmakers to roller derby players, the communities illustrated in this book demonstrate that creativity can thrive without legal incentives, and perhaps more strikingly, that some creative communities prefer, and thrive, in environments defined by self-regulation rather than legal rules. Beyond their value as descriptions of specific industries and communities, the accounts collected here help to ground debates over IP policy in the empirical realities of the creative process. Their parallels and divergences also highlight the value of rules that are sensitive to the unique mix of conditions and motivations of particular industries and communities, rather than the monoculture of uniform regulation of the current IP system.

-> Popular Culture, Piracy, and Outlaw Pedagogy explores the relationship between power and resistance by critiquing the popular cultural image of the pirate represented in Pirates of the Caribbean. Of particular interest is the reliance on modernism's binary good/evil, Sparrow/Jones, how the films' distinguish the two concepts/characters via corruption, and what we may learn from this structure which I argue supports neoliberal ideologies of indifference towards the piratical Other. What became evident in my research is how the erasure of corruption via imperial and colonial codifications within seventeenth century systems of culture, class hierarchies, and language succeeded in its re-presentation of the pirate and members of a colonized India as corrupt individuals with empire emerging from the struggle as exempt from that corruption. This erasure is evidenced in Western portrayals of Somali pirates as corrupt Beings without any acknowledgement of transnational corporations' role in provoking pirate resurgence in that region. This forces one to re-examine who the pirate is in this situation. Erasure is also evidenced in current interpretations of both Bush's No Child Left Behind and Obama's Race to the Top initiative. While NCLB created conditions through which corruption occurred, I demonstrate how Race to the Top erases that corruption from the institution of education by placing it solely into the hands of teachers, thus providing the institution a "free pass" to engage in any behavior it deems fit. What pirates teach us, then, are potential ways to thwart the erasure process by engaging a pedagogy of passion, purpose, radical love and loyalty to the people involved in the educational process.

-> Today, when it seems like everything has been privatized, when austerity is too often seen as an economic or political problem that can be solved through better policy, and when the idea of moral values has been commandeered by the right, how can we re-imagine the forces used as weapons against community, solidarity, ecology and life itself? In this stirring call to arms, Max Haiven argues that capitalism has colonized how we all imagine and express what is valuable. Looking at the decline of the public sphere, the corporatization of education, the privatization of creativity, and the power of finance capital in opposition to the power of the imagination and the growth of contemporary social movements, Haiven provides a powerful argument for creating an anti-capitalist commons. Not only is capitalism crisis itself, but moving beyond it is the only key to survival.

-
-> In this enlightening book James Boyle describes what he calls the range wars of the information age—today’s heated battles over intellectual property. Boyle argues that just as every informed citizen needs to know at least something about the environment or civil rights, every citizen should also understand intellectual property law. Why? Because intellectual property rights mark out the ground rules of the information society, and today’s policies are unbalanced, unsupported by evidence, and often detrimental to cultural access, free speech, digital creativity, and scientific innovation. Boyle identifies as a major problem the widespread failure to understand the importance of the public domain—the realm of material that everyone is free to use and share without permission or fee. The public domain is as vital to innovation and culture as the realm of material protected by intellectual property rights, he asserts, and he calls for a movement akin to the environmental movement to preserve it. With a clear analysis of issues ranging from Jefferson’s philosophy of innovation to musical sampling, synthetic biology and Internet file sharing, this timely book brings a positive new perspective to important cultural and legal debates. If we continue to enclose the “commons of the mind,” Boyle argues, we will all be the poorer.

-> The Swedish Pirate Party emerged as a political force in 2006 when a group of software programmers and file-sharing geeks protested the police takedown of The Pirate Bay, a Swedish file-sharing search engine. The Swedish Pirate Party, and later the German Pirate Party, came to be identified with a free culture message that came into conflict with the European Union's legal system. In this book, Patrick Burkart examines the emergence of Pirate politics as an umbrella cyberlibertarian movement that views file sharing as a form of free expression and advocates for the preservation of the Internet as a commons. He links the Pirate movement to the Green movement, arguing that they share a moral consciousness and an explicit ecological agenda based on the notion of a commons, or public domain. The Pirate parties, like the Green Party, must weigh ideological purity against pragmatism as they move into practical national and regional politics. Burkart uses second-generation critical theory and new social movement theory as theoretical perspectives for his analysis of the democratic potential of Pirate politics. After setting the Pirate parties in conceptual and political contexts, Burkart examines European antipiracy initiatives, the influence of the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, and the pressure exerted on European governance by American software and digital exporters. He argues that pirate politics can be seen as cultural environmentalism, a defense of Internet culture against both corporate and state colonization.

-> In Pirate Philosophy, Gary Hall considers whether the fight against the neoliberal corporatization of higher education in fact requires scholars to transform their own lives and labor. Is there a way for philosophers and theorists to act not just for or with the antiausterity and student protestors -- "graduates without a future" -- but in terms of their political struggles? Drawing on such phenomena as peer-to-peer file sharing and anticopyright/pro-piracy movements, Hall explores how those in academia can move beyond finding new ways of thinking about the world to find instead new ways of being theorists and philosophers in the world.
-Hall describes the politics of online sharing, the battles against the current intellectual property regime, and the actions of Anonymous, LulzSec, Aaron Swartz, and others, and he explains Creative Commons and the open access, open source, and free software movements. But in the heart of the book he considers how, when it comes to scholarly ways of creating, performing, and sharing knowledge, philosophers and theorists can challenge not just the neoliberal model of the entrepreneurial academic but also the traditional humanist model with its received ideas of proprietorial authorship, the book, originality, fixity, and the finished object. In other words, can scholars and students today become something like pirate philosophers?

-
-> The free exchange of microbial genetic information is an established public good, facilitating research on medicines, agriculture, and climate change. However, over the past quarter-century, access to genetic resources has been hindered by intellectual property claims from developed countries under the World Trade Organization's TRIPS Agreement (1994) and by claims of sovereign rights from developing countries under the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) (1992). In this volume, the authors examine the scientific community's responses to these obstacles and advise policymakers on how to harness provisions of the Nagoya Protocol (2010) that allow multilateral measures to support research. By pooling microbial materials, data, and literature in a carefully designed transnational e-infrastructure, the scientific community can facilitate access to essential research assets while simultaneously reinforcing the open access movement. The original empirical surveys of responses to the CBD included here provide a valuable addition to the literature on governing scientific knowledge commons.

-> Protest, Property and the Commons: Performances of Law and Resistance examines the occupation of space as a mode of resistance. Drawing on the phenomena of social centres, as radical political communities that use the space of squatted, rented, or owned property, the book considers how such communities offer an alternative form of law to that of the state. It then goes on to address the relationship between this form of law recent protest phenomena, such as the Occupy movement. How does the performance of an alternative law enact a e~commonse(tm)? How and why is this manifested in the legal occupation of space? And what does this relationship between space and the commons indicate about the criminalisation of the occupation of space? Contributing to an ongoing re-imagination of the law of property, Protest, Property and the Commons will be of interest to anyone concerned with the role of law in political protest.

-> When thousands marched through ice and snow against a copyright treaty, their cries for free speech on the Internet shot to the heart of the European Union and forced a political U-turn. The mighty entertainment industries could only stare in dismay, their back-room plans in tatters. This highly original analysis of three attempts to bring in new laws to defend copyright on the Internet - ACTA, Ley Sinde and the Digital Economy Act - investigates the dance of influence between lobbyists and their political proxies and unmasks the sophistry of their arguments. Copyright expert Monica Horten outlines the myriad ways that lobbyists contrived to bypass democratic process and persuade politicians to take up their cause in imposing an American corporate agenda. In doing so, she argues the case for stronger transparency in copyright policy-making. A Copyright Masquerade is essential reading for anyone who cares about copyright and the Internet, and to those who care about freedom of speech and good government.

-
-> The movement against restrictive digital copyright protection arose largely in response to the excesses of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) of 1998. In The Digital Rights Movement, Hector Postigo shows that what began as an assertion of consumer rights to digital content has become something broader: a movement concerned not just with consumers and gadgets but with cultural ownership. Increasingly stringent laws and technological measures are more than incoveniences; they lock up access to our "cultural commons." Postigo describes the legislative history of the DMCA and how policy "blind spots" produced a law at odds with existing and emerging consumer practices. Yet the DMCA established a political and legal rationale brought to bear on digital media, the Internet, and other new technologies. Drawing on social movement theory and science and technology studies, Postigo presents case studies of resistance to increased control over digital media, describing a host of tactics that range from hacking to lobbying. Postigo discusses the movement's new, user-centered conception of "fair use" that seeks to legitimize noncommercial personal and creative uses such as copying legitimately purchased content and remixing music and video tracks. He introduces the concept of technological resistance--when hackers and users design and deploy technologies that allows access to digital content despite technological protection mechanisms--as the flip side to the technological enforcement represented by digital copy protection and a crucial tactic for the movement.

-> The recording industry's panic over illegal downloads is nothing new; a century ago, London publishers faced a similar crisis when pirate editions of sheet music were widely available at significantly less cost. Similarly, the debate over pharmaceutical patents echoes an 18th-century dispute over the origins of Epsom salt. These are just two of the historical examples that Johns (_The Nature of the Book_) draws upon as he traces the tensions between authorized and unauthorized producers and distributors of books, music, and other intellectual property in British and American culture from the 17th century to the present. Johns's history is liveliest when it is rooted in the personal—the 19th-century renegade bibliographer Samuel Egerton Brydges, for example, or the jazz and opera lovers who created a thriving network of bootleg recordings in the 1950s—but the shifting theoretical arguments about copyright and authorial property are presented in a cogent and accessible manner. Johns's research stands as an important reminder that today's intellectual property crises are not unprecedented, and offers a survey of potential approaches to a solution.

-> In this essay I will argue that as peer-to-peer (p2p)-based file-sharing increasingly becomes the norm for media acquisition among the general Internet public, entities such as The Pirate Bay and associated quasi-institutional entities such as Piratbyrån, Zeropaid, TorrentFreak, etc. have begun to appear less as a reactive force (i.e. ‘breaking the rules’) and more as a proactive one (‘setting the rules’). In providing platforms for sharing and for voicing dissent towards the established entertainment industry, the increasing autonomy gained by these piratical actors becomes more akin to the concept of ‘positive liberty’ than to a purely ‘negative,’ reactive one. 1 Rather than complain about the conservatism of established forms of distribution they simply create new, alternative ones. Entities such as The Pirate Bay can thus be said to have effectively had the ‘upper hand’ in the conflict over the future of copyright and digital distribution. They increasingly set the terms with regard to establishing not only technical protocols for distribution but also codes of behaviour and discursive norms. The entertainment industry is then forced to react to these terms. In this sense, the likes of The Pirate Bay become – in the language of French philosopher Michel de Certeau (1984) – strategic rather than tactical. With this, however, comes the added problem of becoming exposed by their opponents as visible perpetrators of particular acts. The strategic sovereignty of sites such as The Pirate Bay makes them appear to be the reason for the wider change in media distribution, not just an incidental side-effect of it.

-> Today, copyright is everywhere, surrounded by a thicket of no trespassing signs that mark creative work as private property. Caren Irr’s Pink Pirates asks how contemporary novelists—represented by Ursula Le Guin, Andrea Barrett, Kathy Acker, and Leslie Marmon Silko—have read those signs, arguing that for feminist writers in particular copyright often conjures up the persistent exclusion of women from ownership. Bringing together voices from law schools, courtrooms, and the writer's desk, Irr shows how some of the most inventive contemporary feminist novelists have reacted to this history. Explaining the complex, three-century lineage of Anglo-American copyright law in clear, accessible terms and wrestling with some of copyright law's most deeply rooted assumptions, Irr sets the stage for a feminist reappraisal of the figure of the literary pirate in the late twentieth century—a figure outside the restrictive bounds of U.S. copyright statutes. Going beyond her readings of contemporary women authors, Irr’s exhaustive history of how women have fared under intellectual property regimes speaks to broader political, social, and economic implications and engages digital-era excitement about the commons with the most utopian and materialist strains in feminist criticism.

-> Widespread distribution of recorded music via digital networks affects more than just business models and marketing strategies; it also alters the way we understand recordings, scenes and histories of popular music culture. This Is Not a Remix uncovers the analog roots of digital practices and brings the long history of copies and piracy into contact with contemporary controversies about the reproduction, use and circulation of recordings on the internet.Borschke examines the innovations that have sprung from the use of recording formats in grassroots music scenes, from the vinyl, tape and acetate that early disco DJs used to create remixes to the mp3 blogs and vinyl revivalists of the 21st century. This is Not A Remix challenges claims that 'remix culture' is a substantially new set of innovations and highlights the continuities and contradictions of the Internet era. Through an historical focus on copy as a property and practice, This Is Not a Remix focuses on questions about the materiality of media, its use and the aesthetic dimensions of reproduction and circulation in digital networks. Through a close look at sometimes illicit forms of composition-including remixes, edits, mashup, bootlegs and playlists-Borschke ponders how and why ideals of authenticity persist in networked cultures where copies and copying are ubiquitous and seemingly at odds with romantic constructions of authorship. By teasing out unspoken assumptions about media and culture, this book offers fresh perspectives on the cultural politics of intellectual property in the digital era and poses questions about the promises, possibilities and challenges of network visibility and mobility.

-
-> In Ghana, adinkra and kente textiles derive their significance from their association with both Asante and Ghanaian cultural nationalism. Adinkra, made by stenciling patterns with black dye, and kente, a type of strip weaving, each convey, through color, style, and adornment, the bearer’s identity, social status, and even emotional state. Yet both textiles have been widely mass-produced outside Ghana, particularly in East Asia, without any compensation to the originators of the designs. In The Copyright Thing Doesn’t Work Here, Boatema Boateng focuses on the appropriation and protection of adinkra and kente cloth in order to examine the broader implications of the use of intellectual property law to preserve folklore and other traditional forms of knowledge. Boateng investigates the compatibility of indigenous practices of authorship and ownership with those established under intellectual property law, considering the ways in which both are responses to the changing social and historical conditions of decolonization and globalization. Comparing textiles to the more secure copyright protection that Ghanaian musicians enjoy under Ghanaian copyright law, she demonstrates that different forms of social, cultural, and legal capital are treated differently under intellectual property law. Boateng then moves beyond Africa, expanding her analysis to the influence of cultural nationalism among the diaspora, particularly in the United States, on the appropriation of Ghanaian and other African cultures for global markets. Boateng’s rich ethnography brings to the surface difficult challenges to the international regulation of both contemporary and traditional concepts of intellectual property, and questions whether it can even be done.

-> Johns, an expert in the field of intellectual property and piracy, walks us through the history of pirate radio. Pirate radio stations were most famously a British phenomenon (although many other countries had their own versions of these outlaw broadcasters); they operated from offshore sites, usually a boat, skirting the British regulations regarding license fees, broadcast rights, etc. The BBC saw them as illegal and disreputable, but the pirate broadcasters and their listeners (and even many artists) thought they were exciting and indispensable. The end of British pirate radio came soon after a partnership between two colorful station owners, Oliver Smedley and Reg Calvert, ended in violence, property theft, and death.

-> This updated edition of Noam Chomsky's classic dis-section of terrorism explores the role of the U.S. in the Middle East, and reveals how the media manipulates -public opinion about what constitutes "terrorism." This edition includes new chapters covering the second Palestinian intifada that began in October 2000; an analysis of the impact of September 11 on U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East; a deconstruction of depictions and perceptions of terrorism since that date; as well as the original sections on Iran and the U.S. bombing of Libya. Chomsky starts by tracing the changing meaning of "terrorism," examining how it originally referred to violent acts by "governments designed to ensure popular submission." He calls its current application "retail terrorism," practiced by "thieves who molest the powerful." Chomsky argues that appreciating the differences between state terror and nongovernmental terror is crucial to stopping terrorism, and understanding why atrocities like the bombing of the World Trade Center happen. In comparing the "war on terror" launched by George W. Bush to that of his father and Ronald Reagan's administrations, Chomsky recalls Winston Churchill's summation of the terror by the powerful: "The rich and powerful have every right to demand that they be left in peace to enjoy what they have gained, often by violence and terror; the rest can be ignored as long as they suffer in silence, but if they interfere with the lives of those who rule the world by right, the 'terrors of the earth' will be visited upon them with righteous wrath, unless power is constrained from within." Pirates and Emperors is a brilliant account of the workings of state terrorism by the world's foremost critic of U.S. imperialism.

-> When capitalism spread along the trade routes toward the Indies…when radio opened an era of mass communication . . . when the Internet became part of the global economy…pirates were there. And although most people see pirates as solitary anarchists out to destroy capitalism, it turns out the opposite is true. They are the ones who forge the path. In The Pirate Organization, Rodolphe Durand and Jean-Philippe Vergne argue that piracy drives capitalism’s evolution and foreshadows the direction of the economy. Through a rigorous yet engaging analysis of the history and golden ages of piracy, the authors show how pirates form complex and sophisticated organizations that change the course of capitalism. Surprisingly, pirate organizations also behave in predictable ways: challenging widespread norms; controlling resources, communication, and transportation; maintaining trade relationships with other communities; and formulating strategies favoring speed and surprise. We could learn a lot from them—if only we paid more attention. Durand and Vergne recommend that rather than trying to stamp out piracy, savvy entrepreneurs and organizations should keep a sharp eye on the pirate space to stay successful as the game changes—and it always does.
-First published in French to great critical acclaim and commercial success as L’Organisation Pirate: Essai sur l’évolution du capitalisme, this book shows that piracy is not random. It’s predictable, it cannot be separated from capitalism, and it likely will be the source of capitalism’s continuing evolution.

-> In Crypto Anarchy, Cyberstates, and Pirate Utopias, Peter Ludlow extends the approach he used so successfully in High Noon on the Electronic Frontier, offering a collection of writings that reflects the eclectic nature of the online world, as well as its tremendous energy and creativity. This time the subject is the emergence of governance structures within online communities and the visions of political sovereignty shaping some of those communities. Ludlow views virtual communities as laboratories for conducting experiments in the construction of new societies and governance structures. While many online experiments will fail, Ludlow argues that given the synergy of the online world, new and superior governance structures may emerge. Indeed, utopian visions are not out of place, provided that we understand the new utopias to be fleeting localized "islands in the Net" and not permanent institutions.
-The book is organized in five sections. The first section considers the sovereignty of the Internet. The second section asks how widespread access to resources such as Pretty Good Privacy and anonymous remailers allows the possibility of "Crypto Anarchy" -- essentially carving out space for activities that lie outside the purview of nation states and other traditional powers. The third section shows how the growth of e-commerce is raising questions of legal jurisdiction and taxation for which the geographic boundaries of nation-states are obsolete. The fourth section looks at specific experimental governance structures evolved by online communities. The fifth section considers utopian and anti-utopian visions for cyberspace.

-> A detailed historical look at how copyright was negotiated and protected by authors, publishers, and the state in late imperial and modern China.
-In Pirates and Publishers, Fei-Hsien Wang reveals the unknown social and cultural history of copyright in China from the 1890s through the 1950s, a time of profound sociopolitical changes. Wang draws on a vast range of previously underutilized archival sources to show how copyright was received, appropriated, and practiced in China, within and beyond the legal institutions of the state. Contrary to common belief, copyright was not a problematic doctrine simply imposed on China by foreign powers with little regard for Chinese cultural and social traditions. Shifting the focus from the state legislation of copyright to the daily, on-the-ground negotiations among Chinese authors, publishers, and state agents, Wang presents a more dynamic, nuanced picture of the encounter between Chinese and foreign ideas and customs.
-Developing multiple ways for articulating their understanding of copyright, Chinese authors, booksellers, and publishers played a crucial role in its growth and eventual institutionalization in China. These individuals enforced what they viewed as copyright to justify their profit, protect their books, and crack down on piracy in a changing knowledge economy. As China transitioned from a late imperial system to a modern state, booksellers and publishers created and maintained their own economic rules and regulations when faced with the absence of an effective legal framework.
-Exploring how copyright was transplanted, adopted, and practiced, Pirates and Publishers demonstrates the pivotal roles of those who produce and circulate knowledge.

-
-> The United States ushered in a new era of small-scale broadcasting in 2000 when it began issuing low-power FM (LPFM) licenses for noncommercial radio stations around the country. Over the next decade, several hundred of these newly created low-wattage stations took to the airwaves. In Low Power to the People, Christina Dunbar-Hester describes the practices of an activist organization focused on LPFM during this era. Despite its origins as a pirate broadcasting collective, the group eventually shifted toward building and expanding regulatory access to new, licensed stations. These radio activists consciously cast radio as an alternative to digital utopianism, promoting an understanding of electronic media that emphasizes the local community rather than a global audience of Internet users.Dunbar-Hester focuses on how these radio activists impute emancipatory politics to the "old" medium of radio technology by promoting the idea that "microradio" broadcasting holds the potential to empower ordinary people at the local community level. The group's methods combine political advocacy with a rare commitment to hands-on technical work with radio hardware, although the activists' hands-on, inclusive ethos was hampered by persistent issues of race, class, and gender. Dunbar-Hester's study of activism around an "old" medium offers broader lessons about how political beliefs are expressed through engagement with specific technologies. It also offers insight into contemporary issues in media policy that is particularly timely as the FCC issues a new round of LPFM licenses.

-> Creativity and Its Discontents is a sharp critique of the intellectual property rights (IPR)–based creative economy, particularly as it is embraced or ignored in China. Laikwan Pang argues that the creative economy—in which creativity is an individual asset to be commodified and protected as property—is an intensification of Western modernity and capitalism at odds with key aspects of Chinese culture. Nevertheless, globalization has compelled China to undertake endeavors involving intellectual property rights. Pang examines China's IPR-compliant industries, as well as its numerous copyright violations. She describes how China promotes intellectual property rights in projects such as the development of cultural tourism in the World Heritage city of Lijiang, the transformation of Hong Kong cinema, and the cultural branding of Beijing. Meanwhile, copyright infringement proliferates, angering international trade organizations. Pang argues that piracy and counterfeiting embody the intimate connection between creativity and copying. She points to the lack of copyright protections for Japanese anime as the motor of China's dynamic anime culture. Theorizing the relationship between knockoffs and appropriation art, Pang offers an incisive interpretation of China's flourishing art scene. Creativity and Its Discontents is a refreshing rejoinder to uncritical celebrations of the creative economy.

In Praise of Disobedience draw on works from a single miraculous year in which Oscar Wilde published the larger part of his greatest works in prose — the year he came into maturity as an artist. Before the end of 1891, he had written the first of his phenomenally successful plays and met the young man who would win his heart, beginning the love affair that would lead to imprisonment and public infamy. In a witty introduction, playwright, novelist and Wilde scholar Neil Bartlett explains what made this point in the writer's life central to his genius and why Wilde remains a provocative and radical figure to this day.

-A Duty to Resist: When Disobedience Should Be Uncivil
-Authors: Candice Delmas
-Publisher: Oxford University Press
-Year: 2018
-> What are our responsibilities in the face of injustice? How far should we go to fight it? Many would argue that as long as a state is nearly just, citizens have a moral duty to obey the law. Proponents of civil disobedience generally hold that, given this moral duty, a person needs a solid justification to break the law. But activists from Henry David Thoreau and Mohandas Gandhi to the Movement for Black Lives have long recognized that there are times when, rather than having a duty to obey the law, we have a duty to disobey it.
-Taking seriously the history of this activism, A Duty to Resist wrestles with the problem of political obligation in real world societies that harbor injustice. Candice Delmas argues that the duty of justice, the principle of fairness, the Samaritan duty, and political association impose responsibility to resist under conditions of injustice. We must expand political obligation to include a duty to resist unjust laws and social conditions even in legitimate states. For Delmas, this duty to resist demands principled disobedience, and such disobedience need not always be civil. At times, covert, violent, evasive, or offensive acts of lawbreaking can be justified, even required. Delmas defends the viability and necessity of illegal assistance to undocumented migrants, leaks of classified information, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, sabotage, armed self-defense, guerrilla art, and other modes of resistance. There are limits: principle alone does not justify law breaking. But uncivil disobedience can sometimes be not only permissible but required in the effort to resist injustice.

-Civil Disobedience: Protest, Justification and the Law
-Authors: Tony Milligan
-Publisher: Bloomsbury Academic
-Year: 2013
-> Civil disobedience is a form of protest with a special standing with regards to the law that sets it apart from political violence. Such principled law-breaking has been witnessed in recent years over climate change, economic strife, and the treatment of animals. Civil disobedience is examined here in the context of contemporary political activism, in the light of classic accounts by Thoreau, Tolstoy, and Gandhi to call for a broader attitude towards what civil disobedience involves. The question of violence is discussed, arguing that civil disobedience need only be aspirationally non-violent and that although some protests do not clearly constitute law-breaking they may render people liable to arrest. For example, while there may not be violence against persons, there may be property damage, as seen in raids upon animal laboratories. Such forms of militancy raise ethical and legal questions.
-Arguing for a less restrictive theory of civil disobedience, the book will be a valuable resource for anyone studying social movements and issues of political philosophy, social justice, and global ethics.

-Civil Disobedience
-Authors: William E. Scheuerman
-Publisher: Polity
-Year: 2018
-> What is civil disobedience? Although Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King helped to bring the idea to prominence, even today it remains unclear how we should best understand civil disobedience. Why have so many different activists and intellectuals embraced it, and to what ends? Is civil disobedience still politically relevant in today's hyper-connected world? Does it make sense, for example, to describe Edward Snowden's actions, or those of recent global movements like Occupy, as falling under this rubric? If so, how must it adapt to respond to the challenges of digitalization and globalization and the rise of populist authoritarianism in the West?
-In this elegantly written introductory text, William E. Scheuerman systematically analyzes the most important interpretations of civil disobedience. Drawing out the striking differences separating religious, liberal, radical democratic, and anarchist views, he nonetheless shows that core commonalities remain. Against those who water down the idea of civil disobedience or view it as obsolescent, Scheuerman successfully salvages its central elements. The concept of civil disobedience, he argues, remains a pivotal tool for anyone hoping to bring about political and social change.

-Occupy: Three Inquiries in Disobedience
-Authors: W. J. T. Mitchell, Bernard E. Harcourt, Michael Taussig
-Publisher: University of Chicago Press
-Year: 2013
-> Mic check! Mic check! Lacking amplification in Zuccotti Park, Occupy Wall Street protestors addressed one another by repeating and echoing speeches throughout the crowd. In Occupy, W. J. T. Mitchell, Bernard E. Harcourt, and Michael Taussig take the protestors’ lead and perform their own resonant call-and-response, playing off of each other in three essays that engage the extraordinary Occupy movement that has swept across the world, examining everything from self-immolations in the Middle East to the G8 crackdown in Chicago to the many protest signs still visible worldwide. “You break through the screen like Alice in Wonderland,” Taussig writes in the opening essay, “and now you can’t leave or do without it.” Following Taussig’s artful blend of participatory ethnography and poetic meditation on Zuccotti Park, political and legal scholar Harcourt examines the crucial difference between civil and political disobedience. He shows how by effecting the latter—by rejecting the very discourse and strategy of politics—Occupy Wall Street protestors enacted a radical new form of protest. Finally, media critic and theorist Mitchell surveys the global circulation of Occupy images across mass and social media and looks at contemporary works by artists such as Antony Gormley and how they engage the body politic, ultimately examining the use of empty space itself as a revolutionary monument. Occupy stands not as a primer on or an authoritative account of 2011’s revolutions, but as a snapshot, a second draft of history, beyond journalism and the polemics of the moment—an occupation itself.

-The Coming Swarm: DDOS Actions, Hacktivism, and Civil Disobedience on the Internet
-Authors: Molly Sauter
-Publisher: Bloomsbury Academic
-Year: 2014
-> What is Hacktivism? In The Coming Swarm, Molly Sauter examines the history, development, theory, and practice of distributed denial of service actions as a tactic of political activism. The internet is a vital arena of communication, self expression, and interpersonal organizing. When there is a message to convey, words to get out, or people to unify, many will turn to the internet as a theater for that activity. As familiar and widely accepted activist tools-petitions, fundraisers, mass letter-writing, call-in campaigns and others-find equivalent practices in the online space, is there also room for the tactics of disruption and civil disobedience that are equally familiar from the realm of street marches, occupations, and sit-ins? With a historically grounded analysis, and a focus on early deployments of activist DDOS as well as modern instances to trace its development over time, The Coming Swarm uses activist DDOS actions as the foundation of a larger analysis of the practice of disruptive civil disobedience on the internet.

-Authors: Henry David Thoreau
-Publisher: Emereo
-Year: 2012
-> Encompassing aspects of autobiography, spiritual treatise, political declaration, and historical commentary, Henry David Thoreaus Walden is one of the classic greats to be revisited by all audiences as an example of achievement in both breadth and beauty. Thoreau masterfully blends his personal opinions on topics from economy and education with elegant prose describing his peaceful paradise at Walden. Walden makes the rare presentation of an idealist viewpoint in a far from ideal world.

-Civil Disobedience in Focus
-Authors: Hugo Adam Bedau
-Publisher: Routledge
-Year: 1991
-> Although the issue of civil disobedience has been discussed as early as 399 B.C., this topic continues to be at the center of much recent debate in the wake of events such as Tiananmen Square and the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa. "Civil Disobedience in" "Focus" assembles all the basic materials, both classic and contemporary, needed for the philosophical assessment of this controversial subject. The first part of this work explores the three most influential classic arguments: Plato in the "Crito," Thoreau in the 1840s, and Martin Luther King, Jr. in the 1960s. The second part of this book shifts to a contemporary philosophical discussion setting forth the most important reflections by a number of today's leading thinkers. Included is John Rawls's definition and justification of civil disobedience in liberal democracy which has provoked much dicussion. The other essays, written by contemporary British and American thinkers, bring into sharp relief the issues -- conceptual, normative, and political -- raised in the classic arguments. A stimulating edition, "Civil Disobedience in" "Focus" will be invaluable to students of ethics, social/political philosophy, and philosophy of law, as well as to activists.

-# Session 1: Pirates of the Central Mediterranean
-
-**Introduction**
-
-The European states have created a zone at their margins, where all their proclaimed values, their human and civil rights are suspended: A state of exception that reduces the sea to a weapon, people to bargaining chips - and the fluid southern border of the European Union to the deadliest migration route in the world. This is where activists organized to respond immediately in a solidary way. What can we learn from the brief history of thousands of years of migrations in the Mediterranean and that of six years of civil sea rescue?
-
-**Let’s learn together**
-
-**Step 1: Words we think with (30 mins)**
-
-Hand out post-it papers (the bigger ones). Ask participants to write words or phrases that come to their mind for each of the following concepts: piracy, migration, duty to rescue, socially organized death, freedom of movement, humanitarian crisis, solidarity; one after another, giving them 3 minutes for each. Assemble papers by theme (concept), sticking them to a wall.
-
-**Step 2: Let’s watch and read (70 mins)**
-
-Participants read:
-
-* 
-
-* Some paragraphs from the “Who will Go “a Pyrathing”, chapter 3 in 
-, starting with “Who became a pirate after the War of Spanish Succession?” and ending with “Men who went “upon the account” were familiar with a single-sex community of work and the rigors of life—and death—at sea.”
-
-And watch the following videos:

-
-* https://youtube.com/watch?v=jTVnUGqGkk4
-
-* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MN8fjAjLLpg
-
-**Step 3: New meanings? (45-60 mins)**
-
-Repeat the process from Step 1. Then look back at two sets of post-its (those made before reading and watching, and those made after); give participants 15-20 minutes to reflect and discuss these concepts and how their thinking about them has been changed by the reading, in small groups. Have the groups report to the full group (sitting in a circle if viable). Randomize who is speaking by using a speaking-ball, if viable. Let the speakers freely pass the ball to whomever wants to add on what is being said; moderate the discussion in terms of relevance but allow personal accounts if they happen.

-title: "Psychiatry and Control: Collaboration with the State, the Border, the Prison"
----
-
-Here we want to explore some of the ways that the practice of psyciatry is connected to other regimes of control, such as the state apparatus, the border regime, and the prison industrial complex. When defying power is seen as a disorder unto itself, the logic of psychiatry upholds the systems that organize our social life while reinforcing and exacerbating structural inequalities.

-# Recommended Reading
-
--  (Chapter 6, pages 232-234)
- - This excerpt from The Dispossessed focuses on the character Tirin, who either disagreed with society or fell mentally ill, or both. Bedak and Shevek discuss the asylum as a prison.
-
--  (pg. 89-122)
-
-- The Hiawatha Asylum
- - https://web.archive.org/web/20110711164717/http://www.hiawathadiary.com/HiawathaAsylum.html
- - The story of the Hiawatha Asylum is one of few recorded examples of 'mental illness' being weaponized by colonizers to silence and inflict harm upon a population. In this case, indigenous people deemed insane, were kept at this facility in South Dakota with unasnitary and inhumane conditions, many not able to go outside.
-
-- 
- - This short and straightforward zine poses some somatic exercises to help us better connect with our bodies while under stress, or in the difficult situations we might find ourselves in when we live in this sick world.
-
-# Further Reading
-
-- https://restforresistance.com/zine/resting-in-unsafe-spaces
- - Rest for Resistance is a collective of seven trans people of color organizing to uplift marginalized communities that rarely get access to adequate healthcare and support. They published this essay by Ky Peterson, a black trans man currently incarcerated for defending himself against a violent attacker. It looks at the value of rest in an unsafe space.

-# Discussion
-
-- The Dispossessed poses an image of an anarcho-syndicalist society, with all its beauty and its setbacks. There are no prisons, and in the absense of a formal court system, social ostracization is powerful. What is your opinion of Tirin's fate? What do you think about the prospect of abolishing the asylum and the prison altogether? How might questions of 'mental illness' be negotiated in a society without incarcertion or institutionalization?
-
-- "Soaring Beyond the Walls" outlines some somatic exercises that folks can do even from within the confines of a cell to connect with our bodies and negotiate whats ahead of us. What are some other possible ways that we might act in solidarity with those on the inside who might be lacking in the connection and emotional support we all crave?

-# Our everyday use of time, material conditions of our activities, rethinking value(s)
-
-
-This workshop aims to visualize our everyday use of time; to analyze the material condition of our activities; and, finally, to rethink what are the value and values that those activities bring to the whole context.
-This workshop can be conceived as a stand-alone session, however, we suggest to take a second collective moment in order to organize the workshop .
-
-## Timing
-
-3 hours
-
-## Keywords
-
-Work, Time, Value/s, Power Relations
-
-## Tools
-
-Tables, Chairs, Pen, Print-outs of [Map 2-1](/topic/commoningcare/radicalredistribution/tools/2.MAP-01.jpg) and [Map 2-2](/topic/commoningcare/radicalredistribution/tools/2.MAP-02.jpg)
-
-
-
-# Learning together
-
-## Step 1: Introduction
-
-Ask participants to introduce themselves and to answer the following questions (8 minutes each):
-- How many hours do you work per day?
-- Thinking of your day, are there some activities that you consider to be work that are not considered as such?
-- If yes, are you able to quantify them in terms of time and fatigue (whether physical or emotional)?
-
-## Step 2: Analyzing our 24-hour clock! (20 min.)
-
-Split participants in smaller groups if necessary and ask them to fill [Map 2-1](/topic/commoningcare/radicalredistribution/tools/2.MAP-01.jpg) by unpacking their everyday rhythms. Involve them in adding categories where necessary, and in defining different categories with specific actions, by writing inside the slices of pie.
-
-## Step 3: Magical discoveries (40 min.)
-
-Put the completed maps at the centre of the room and ask participants to report back on what they have noticed while compiling the 24-hour clock. Guide a collective discussion asking questions around the balancing of everyday life. For instance, “Are you resting enough?”; “Is travelling to work taking too much time?”. Take a photo of all the maps.
-
-## Step 4: Let’s read (30 min.)
-
-Collectively read the zine “The Abolition of Work” Black’s book (link). Enjoy!
-
-## Step 5: Rethinking our 24-hour clock (15 min.)
-
-Split participants again and ask them to fill out [Map 2-2](/topic/commoningcare/radicalredistribution/tools/2.MAP-02.jpg) by rebalancing their everyday rhythms in a way that reflects their ideal scenario.
-
-## Step 6: Let’s strike! (30 min.)
-
-Put all second filled maps at the centre of the room and ask participants to explain the reasons for their choices. Guide a group discussion on the rebalancing of the 24-hour clock maps. This should lead to a collective exploration of values beyond value. Take a photo of all the second maps.
-
-## Step 7: Conclusions (20 min.)
-
-Ask participants how they feel about the workshop and to imagine collective strategies in order to balance their life more accordingly to the second map. Send them the two photos of the maps.

-The measures of support during the crisis concern the freezing of mortgages and the blocking of evictions, but often there is no real protection for renters. This problem affects a large part of the countries of the world, where many people who have lost their source of income are subjected to this often unsustainable expense. From the first of April, a general and indefinite strike called for by grass roots organizations and renters unions will begin, involving both those who cannot afford it but also by those who, out of solidarity, do not want only the weakest to be hit by the economic crisis induced by the lockdowns.
-
-The call to a rent strike started from two very different places, coincidentally in the far west of Europe and America: the Canary Islands and the West Coast. In the Canaries, it was proclaimed by a [trade union](https://sindicatodeinquilinasgc.noblogs.org/) born with the occupations of the squares in 2011, which for almost a decade organized the tenants of the poorest areas of the city of Las Palmas to resist evictions.

-ITALY: A fast-growing movement is organizing Italian rent strike. A large Telegram chat serves to coordinate numerous regional groups and support people every step of the way. [Instructions](https://scioperodegliaffitti.noblogs.org/files/2020/04/ScioperoAffitti2020_materiali01042020_ENG.pdf) are available on a [website](https://scioperodegliaffitti.noblogs.org/), and there are regular collective calls using Jitsi.

-
-With 59% of Americans living paycheck-to-paycheck and so many confined in isolation, it is obvious that many people are just not going to be able to pay their rents or mortgages for some time. While many states have passed 90-day eviction moratoriums and stays for mortgage holders, there are still few protections for renters, who are fast becoming among the most vulnerable people in our society. Even many leading retailers have announced they will stop paying rent. Surely some will be able to work things out with compassionate landlords, but many will need to band together to resist predation. This document is for all of you.

-# What is the politics of rental relations?
-
-Rent. It arrives every month and it takes a portion of the value of our labour, handing it over to our landlord. Rent that is negotiated on the market is usually perceived as a question of two-way agreement between two actors in the market - landlord and a tenant. But renting a home is not the same as renting a bike or a yacht, and it should be a subject of strict regulation. States and local municipalities in some cases, enforce rent control that protects tenants against eviction and price increase. Market apologists argue against rent control by claiming that if the state and/or municipal administration push for the rent control, developers will not invest into new housing and therefore we will have a shortage. This, however, has never been proven true. As rent is taking up a large portion of our incomes, it is not surprising that tenant unions are one of the main forms of organizing. Because tenants usually don't live in the same place, organizing tenants calls for innovative tactics. In rent struggles, as our experience shows, it can prove a challenge to collectively secure something that is deemed the most fundamentally existential thing: a home.

-## Proposed resources
-
-- **Read the basic info about what we fight for when we fight for better tenant rights:**
- - 
- - 
-
-## For inspiration on how we organize rent struggle check out
-
-- [London Renter Union](https://londonrentersunion.org/)
-- [Glasgow living rent](https://www.facebook.com/LivingRentGlasgow/)
-
-## How to learn together
-
-Read the proposed articles and look into the proposed material before you come to the session. Create together a fictional story about a renter struggle. Create different characters and determine their roles in the overall narrative. You can use one of these deeply embodied typologies: estate agent, landlord, local government representative, tenant etc. Your story could tackle issues such as the history of rent struggle in Glasgow, a 30-minute meeting of renters facing eviction in the place where you come from, description of renters' protest set in the near future etc. Use the information from the reading resources. Write it up. Share your story with other Pirate Care Syllabus users.

- * In order to suppress the rate of infection, people should be staying within those households as much as possible, ideally only leaving to replenish necessary supplies.
- * As available spaces for households to get their supplies (ie grocery stores) grows increasingly limited, those spaces become increased vectors of virus transmission.
- * The current shelter-in-place reality may be our norm for the next 12-18 months.
-
-# Collaboration
-
-* How might small business restaurants serve the needs of their communities and simultaneously maintain their businesses and workers?
-* Can we alleviate the dependency on grocery stores and decrease peoples’ need to leave their homes and potentially spread the virus?
-* Can we provide relief to households who are having to juggle too many tasks while living through a fearful situation?
-* Can we help workers who need income and support?
-
-# Could a small business restaurant embedded within a community could provide all meals for [X] amount of households per week at an average of $[X]?
-
-Restaurants might develop a new model for this time by providing a full meal plan for households to pay a fixed weekly cost to have all their food needs covered. Households could pick up their food in a touchless system, quickly and efficiently in staggered times.
-
-A neighborhood focused model could be adapted and used in a multiplicity of contexts to incisively develop sustained communities that might push back against the spread of the virus.
-
-# Benefits
-
-* Small business restaurants
- * A subscription service could provide more consistent and forecastable income.
- * Cooking larger serving sizes of food would allow more exact product orders and less food waste.
- * Less dependence on single serving packaging would lower costs and waste.
- * An opportunity to organize larger scale support for business.
-* Households
- * Less time spent worrying about buying food and preparing meals for the week.
- * Complete meals would ideally mean better nutrition to weather illness.
- * Less time spent in potentially dangerous shared spaces.
- * Reduce kitchen injuries and food handling issues to keep people out of hospitals.
- * Increased access to safely handled food with a reduction in the amount of touches on food products.
- * By organizing as a community to support a small business restaurant, individual costs go down when compared to ordering takeaway food on a per-meal basis.
-
-# Considerations
-
-* Could multiple restaurants work together to share workload and provide variety for their communities?
-* Could the week’s provisions be a combination of prepared food and essential grocery items?
-* How might this system meet a multiplicity of dietary needs and restrictions?
-* What is the physical and technological infrastructure needed to facilitate this system?

-# Conditions of sex work in the pandemic
-
-COVID-19 pandemic is dramatically affecting the lives of sex workers. Due to the generalized criminalization of sex work, sex workers fall into the group of people most affected by the pandemic. Most of the #sexworkers are unable to access the social benefits set up as emergency measures by the governments. It is indeed a moment of despair and fear: many sex workers, some of them young, mostly women and trans people, are migrants, alone and without a family network to rely on; many are mothers and with their job they support the whole family.
-
-In these weeks and even more in the weeks ahead, the #emergency will be pushing many of them to the brink of the abyss, giving rise to increasingly grave conditions of hardship and poverty. And it is bound to get worse. People who are engaging in prostitution activities in free, agreed or forced form are already in a position of human and social vulnerability, but now they face the risk of falling into extreme poverty. They might be forced to resume work out of sheer necessity, disregarding the epidemiological measures, exposing themselves to the prosecution and risking their own and collective health.
-
-For these reasons, sex work support groups, associations and unions in many countries are organizing. In addition to distributing food and medicines, various initiatives have opened mutual aid and donation funds to financially support the sex workers. These are some examples:

-# Reflections from Cooperation Birmingham[^1]
-
-# Covid-19, a "not-so-natural" disaster
-
-The global Covid-19 pandemic is being faced by governments and covered by the media as a natural disaster. And in a way they are right: as scientists predicted, the rapid change in climatic conditions has created a favourable environment for the virus to spread. However, other factors have also contributed to the transmission and mortality of the disease. Global capitalism and the frenetic movement of people and goods that it entails; an endemic lack of funding (or plain privatisation) of public healthcare systems all over; cultural inclination to frequently socialising; and most importantly, widespread lack of access to basic goods such as healthy food or clean water and air. Critical geographers already discovered decades ago that natural disasters are not purely natural, but to a great extent they are socially constructed. Or as Neil Smith, in his account of hurricane Katrina, puts it – natural disasters don’t just create indiscriminate destruction, “[r]ather they deepen and erode the ruts of social difference they encounter”.[^2]
-
-# From disasters to solidarity
-
-But there’s a more hopeful side to natural disasters which seems to be reproduced across temporal and geographical scales: the outstanding popular responses based on solidarity and cooperation. In this extreme situations in which the social order is temporarily broken, people tend to organise together in order to fulfil each other’s basic needs and ensure their collective survival.[^3] Whilst there’s goodwill in all the help being offered, the current pandemic is proving that it’s not enough. A clear lack of experience in political involvement and structured organising by most of the population is decimating mutual aid efforts in the UK.
-
-Take as an example WhatsApp groups created to connect residents of the same street or area in several cities, which have become the locus of popular self-organisation in times of Covid-19. Whereas they might be useful to help some people in self-isolation access basic goods, their reach is very limited. They embody a type of solidarity which, even if necessary, is insufficient because it is exclusively based in locality, which is translated in a lack of coordination among networks. Moreover, unequal access and ability to use technology or lack of time to follow conversations are factors that, when not taken seriously, prevent many members of the community from being actively involved. In the end, these groups tend to become taken over by a few residents who dominate the interactions and/or modify the scope of the group – and with it its potential effectiveness.
-
-
-
-# How to organise a solidarity kitchen
-
-Aware of these dynamics, and of the fact that structure and purpose are key factors in mutual aid efforts, Cooperation Birmingham has recently brought together several grassroots organisations and workers’ cooperatives to create a solidarity kitchen. Funded with donations collected through an online platform,[^4] we offer warm meals to people in self-isolation in Birmingham. We ask no questions and we take no money, we practice solidarity without conditions.
-
-## Securing access to a professional kitchen
-
-Two infrastructural dimensions are basic in the organisation of the Cooperation Birmingham solidarity kitchen: physical and political infrastructures. As obvious as it may sound, in order to provide cooked meals you need a kitchen, the bigger and better suited, the more meals you will be able to provide. Key to the success of the project, thus, is the participation of the Warehouse Cafe, a centrally located cafe, organised as a workers’ cooperative and home base to several leftist and environmental organisations. The temporary closure of the business when the pandemic started has given us access to a professional kitchen.
-
-## Social measures encourage solidarity
-
-Not only that, but many of the workers of the cafe (including the chefs) who are currently furloughed, are contributing with their labour to the project. But not only cafe workers, over 40 people contribute regularly to the project by cooking food, cleaning the kitchen, delivering meals and doing backroom work. This constantly expanding group is mostly composed of people who are not able to engage in waged labour in the current situation. This fact shows the real importance of adopting social measures directed to covering the basic needs of workers, as they encourage solidarity and mutual aid and have an impact that surpasses economic calculations.
-
-## Organising - horizontal, practical and open
-
-As for political infrastructures, the experience in organising of most of our members is key for the success of the project. We work on an ideally horizontal but practically layered structure of decision-making in which decisions are made by a mix of consensus and pressing-need. The main decisions are made in open online meetings that take place usually three times a week. For smaller issues related to the daily operations we have created working groups that have a certain degree of autonomy and specific tasks assigned. The assessment of the operations in the open meetings allows all members to reflect on the general direction of the project, but also on specific practical matters.
-
-Thus, the fluid interaction between open meetings and working groups avoids the accumulation of power and ensures that the political orientation of the project remains in the correct path. It is important to acknowledge that all political infrastructures are open, and we encourage both volunteers and users of the kitchen to join a working group and attend to the open meetings.
-
-## Communication
-
-Crucial for the correct functioning of our political infrastructures is technology. We have an open online forum[^5] where whoever is interested in joining the solidarity kitchen, or just curious about it, is able to see at a glimpse the form of our political structure, join a working group and read the minutes of the meetings. We also make use of social media, which is key for ensuring transparency, reaching new users and recruiting volunteers. And of course, instant messaging apps provide a much needed bridge between political and physical infrastructures.
-
-# Councils externalising social services onto the commons
-
-As nice as it may sound, our solidarity kitchen is far from perfect, and we try to learn from our mistakes and fill our gaps. It has been difficult to deal with a huge workload different levels of involvement that have led some organisers to the edge of burnout very soon. However, we have been put in a very difficult situation by the Birmingham city council, which is denying responsibility and relying on the commons to respond to the crisis. Instead of setting a relief operation of sufficient scale that would reach most of the vulnerable population in Birmingham, the city council has been directing people to community efforts like ours. After our second day of operation, the council started referring calls to us, which meant a surge of over 500% in food requests from one day to next. At the same time we received a call from a council worker offering support to our solidarity kitchen, but our scope was always filling gaps, not taking over. Since then, we have had to cap food deliveries at around 100 daily meals and we’re trying to involve new members and recruit volunteers, that ensure the sustainability of the project and a controlled expansion. In this situation, we are overburdened with a responsibility that should not fall on us and is disproportionate with our capacity, which has a toll on our physical and emotional well-being.
-
-# A perspective beyond the current crisis
-
-At the same time, though, this systemic externalisation of social services onto the commons makes the existence of politicised mutual aid projects like ours more important than ever. Because our purpose is not just to respond to the current crisis, we need to look beyond. What awaits after the immediate public health emergency is an economic crisis of unprecedented magnitude that will change the capitalist system as we know it. Socio-economical reconfigurations that follow disasters and crises traditionally offer “an opportunity for elites to recapture and even intensify their power”.[^6] However, there’s also a window of opportunity that we should try to seize. We need popular mutual aid efforts such as Cooperation Birmingham to become strong alternative institutions that take power from political elites and redistribute it among the working class. We need to have a major role in writing the new rules of the world to come. A world defined by the worst economic crisis of our times and by climate change, an uncertain world in which the elaborate system of social ordering will start to crack.[^7] A world of hope.

-# Is squatting part of the housing movement?
-
-Squatting is a practice of claiming space without seeking permission which has a long tradition dating back to the pre-capitalist times. Squatting has been a response to the urgent situations of lack of housing and is an act that shifts the political terrain. In debates around squatting there has been a tendency to differentiate squatting into squatting out of necessity and political squatting as a militant act and part of social movements. During the so-called housing crisis, the housing movement has embraced the use of empty buildings for shelter and housing, as a response to homelessness due to foreclosures and urgent need for shelter. This has led to repolitisation of squatting as such, but also to renewed interpretation of squatting out of necessity as a political act.

-title: "Struggles for Social Housing"
----
-
-# Universal care or charity?
-
-The system of public housing as it was established in the mid 20th century had to be dismantled and privatized to make way for financialization of housing and proliferation of debt via housing loans. Even though the systems of public, that is social housing, are different from country to country, they were all designed to offer an alternative to the market-based housing provision. One of the prevailing models of dismantling the public housing system was the politics of the so-called right-to-buy that originated in the UK in the 1980’s and was transferred to many other countries. This means that social housing stock has been sold off to tenants living in them. The programs were dubbed as one of the most ingenious conservative revolutions. By making the tenant the individual owner of property - workers were supposed to become proprietors. To paraphrase General Franco’s Minister of housing in 1954, such strategies turn the nation of workers into the nation of owners. Struggles for social housing range from collective anti-gentrification action of tenants, rent strikes as well as the transnational demands for abolishing the neoliberal idea that the market can provide us with housing and demanding more investment into public housing stock. These struggles teach us that the right to housing, similar to the right to health protection, should be understood as the universal care established through the systematically arranged program of solidarity.

-# Case Studies, Aspirations, and Provocations
-
-The forms of care that we want to see don't exist yet, so we can't cite them, but we are trying. Here are some of the things that keep us going when we are feeling down, that inspire us to act when we feel trapped, or that motivate us to find each other. We want to build the aspirational supportive queer commune, too, but where can we put it? What does it look like to turn illness into weapon? What is missing and what will the future of autonomous support look like?

-- Sick Women Theory
- - Sick Woman Theory http://maskmagazine.com/not-again/struggle/sick-woman-theory
- - Not every form of resistance will take place in the streets, because it can't. "Sick Woman Theory is an insistence that most modes of political protest are internalized, lived, embodied, suffering, and no doubt invisible." Care for ourselves and one another as protest and as refusal of the capitalist logic that declares all of us who are "sick" (physically ill, mentally ill, traumatized, oppressed) to be disposable, not meant to survive.

-The politics of technology at a time like this can become much more apparent than when our digital infrastructures runs smoothly. Massive transition to digital communication, platform infrastrcutures and automated processes as we avoid meeting live, doing shopping and direct human contact are bound to have long-term knock-on effects on technological ecosystem and yet larger effects on labour. The perennial technopolitical concerns over lock-ins, net neutrality, dataveillance, ownership over data, public ownership over communication infrastructure and the entrenched power of technological oligopolies are staring at us back.
-
-This session, unlike others presented here, does not contain tips for moving into action (unless, perhaps, if you are an engineer), but it offers an archive of relevant news that can help to start common debates and reflections on what demands we should collectively place for a more just technopolitical future.

-# Connectivity
-During this crisis, online video conferencing has come to the fore. Many management strategies for COVID-19 involve increased use of VPNs and online video chats that rely on digital infrastructure. A growing number of colleges are moving classes to online platforms. Yet few of us pay attention to extra burden than the increased data traffic is placing on the capacity of the net and the individual providers and how this will impact differently those with slower or more limited access. Also, more essential online services, for example conference calls between healthcare practitioners and patients, find themselves competing with less essential apps and games. In China, for instance, several [crashes](https://www.abacusnews.com/culture/worlds-biggest-online-population-staying-home-and-chinas-internet-cant-cope/article/3050947) have been reported.
-
-Public health and safety are the top priorities in managing the COVID-19 outbreak. Data centers play a key behind-the-scenes role, providing mission-critical technology to support emergency communication for public agencies, emergency services and 911 systems. Major hospitals also rely upon data centers for data and images storage and transmission. Few are aware that data centres too are under pressure to continue to provide seamless services while also protecting their staff.

-
-The role of connectivity is something that merits some collective reflection. One point of departure comes from Ian Alan Paul,
-
-> It appears that at least two new kinds of subjectivity have already begun to take shape, both of which are mutually constitutive, intimately dependent upon, and shaped by the informatic infrastructures and apparatuses that now run through and organize much of our planetary society. On the one hand, we have the domesticated/connected subject, who in being confined to their home is pushed to invent new ways to reconnect to and participate in a virtualized economy. On the other hand, we have the mobile/disposable subject that serves as the circulatory system of the pandemic, a subject that becomes increasingly vulnerable and precarious as it is compelled to move at ever greater velocities. In order for domesticated/connected subjects to materially sustain themselves, they must be coupled with the mobile/disposable subject that fulfills the minimum material needs of society while ensuring the social possibility of isolated yet networked domestic life.

-# Problems with corporate tools
-
-
-Many of the connectivity and remote working tools that have become widely adopted during the lockdowns, some have come under public scrutiny for having policies that might damage their users.
-
-Gennie Gebhart, associate director of research for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a leading nonprofit digital rights group, warned that “As we move more of our everyday lives onto these platforms, we’re going to be looking at new and different and maybe even greater privacy risks in terms of corporate surveillance and employer surveillance".

-
-ZOOM: According to Jamie Zawinski, one of the founders of Netscape and Mozilla.org, Zoom is particularly 'terrible':
-
-> Zoom's privacy page states: "Whether you have Zoom account or not, we may collect Personal Data from or about you when you use or otherwise interact with our Products." This includes, but is not limited to, your physical address, phone number, your job title, credit and debit card information, your Facebook account, your IP address, your OS and device details, and more." Further, the app allows your boss to spy on you far beyond what's okay in an office setting (Zoom has an attention-tracking feature that can alert hosts if you look away (update: as of April 2, 2020, Zoom have removed the attendee attention tracker feature due to widespread protests).. From EFF: [...] "Admins have the ability to join any call at any time on their organization's instance of Zoom, without in-the-moment consent or warning for the attendees of the call."
-
-> Zoom Meetings Aren't End-To-End Encrypted, Despite Misleading Marketing:
-> The meeting is secured with end-to-end encryption, at least according to Zoom's website, its security white paper, and the user interface within the app. But despite this misleading marketing, the service actually does not support end-to-end encryption for video and audio content, at least as the term is commonly understood. Instead it offers what is usually called transport encryption. [...]
-
-> Without end-to-end encryption, Zoom has the technical ability to spy on private video meetings and could be compelled to hand over recordings of meetings to governments or law enforcement in response to legal requests. While other companies like Google, Facebook, and Microsoft publish transparency reports that describe exactly how many government requests for user data they receive from which countries and how many of those they comply with, Zoom does not publish a transparency report.

-
-We are very aware that engaging, experimenting with and learning about different tools and alternative technologies is something that not everyone is able to do, as conditions of work and life vary and often are not supportive of such extra efforts. However, the technopolitical aspect of the pandemic is calling for a very serious collective reflection around our technological futures. Could mainstream technological infrastructures be created beyond corporate solutions that extract data and provide employers and governments with biased surveillance tools? There are many initiatives out there that have been producing some amazing alternatives which go in the direction of empowering users and communities in their relationship with tech. While we are not purist in our approach, as our online presence is part of broad ecosystems and connectivity is in this time more important than ever, we hope some of the resources linked here will inspire and sustain others in become less entangled with set ups we don't want nor consent to.

-# Robots, AI and the automation of healthcare
-While the corporate sector emphasizes the benefits of digital tools for healthcare, they are usually less keen to speak about issues such as the politics of surveillance and data collection; the private ownership of key software and tools which hospitals might end up relying upon; the loss of jobs in the care sector and the repercussions on the quality of care that automated, remote services might generate.
-
-IN CHINA:
-Chinese technology giants are accelerating their efforts in the field of health-care technology in areas from cloud computing to artificial intelligence (AI) amid the new coronavirus outbreak. Giant companies such as Alibaba, Baidu, Tencent, Huawei and DiDi have all launched new health tech features aimed at diagnosing cases and finding a vaccine for the coronavirus.

-
-Hospitals in China have turned to a trio of robots to help halt the spread of the flu-type virus. The robots include a food delivery robot, sanitizing robot, and directional guiding robot that can help people avoid unnecessary human contact. They are currently being utilized across 10 provinces in Chinese hospitals.
-- SOURCE: [In China’s hospitals, robots are helping to halt the spread of coronavirus](https://www.digitaltrends.com/cool-tech/trio-of-robots-china-hospitals/)
-
-China has become the world’s largest market for industrial robotics and the fastest-growing market worldwide, surging 21% to $5.4 billion in 2019, while global sales hit $16.5 billion, according to the International Federation of Robotics in Frankfurt. China counts more than 800 robot makers, including major players SIASUN and DJI Innovations. China is on track to account for 45% of all industrial robot shipments by 2021, up from 39% in 2019. One robot that can work a 24-hour shift can replace three workers and cost in the range of $43,000 to $72,000. With salaries in China going up as much as 20% annually in recent years, China business consultant Bill Edwards foresees an inevitable push to robotics. “Wages in China are no longer cheap,” he observed.

-
-# Open Access
-Open access to scientific knowledge remains one of the central demands for healthcare justice. Laboratories around the world have been able to share genome sequences of the newly emerging coronavirus (hCoV-19) through [GISAID](https://www.gisaid.org), an initiative that promotes the international sharing of all influenza virus sequences to help researchers understand how the viruses evolve, spread and potentially become pandemics. GISAID does so by overcoming disincentives/hurdles or restrictions, which discourage or prevented sharing of influenza data prior to formal publication. The Initiative ensures that open access to data in GISAID is provided free-of-charge and to everyone. However, the GISAID is an exception to the way medical/scientific research and data are kept as privatized assets to be capitalized upon. In 2015, Liberian public health officials co-authored a New York Times op-ed that lamented the amount of critical Ebola research that was unknown or inaccessible to scientists and health workers at the center of the 2014 epidemic.
-
-To bypass existing paywalls, in January 2020 a group of online archivists have created an open-access directory of over 5,000 scientific studies about coronaviruses that anyone can browse and download. The download was made possible via [Sci-Hub](https://www.sci-hub.tw/), a free scientific research repository sometimes called “the Pirate Bay of science.” Sci-Hub's site says it provides free access to over 78 million research articles by downloading HTML and PDF pages off the web, in some cases bypassing paywalls. Because of this, major scientific publishing companies—most prominently Elsevier—have repeatedly sued Sci-Hub for copyright infringement.

-# The responses of the maker scene
-Amid the global shortage of medical supplies and equipments, various makerspaces and fablabs have been discussing and mobilising around certain areas of intervention, calling attention once again to the political tension between autonomous technologies and the necessity of regulations and standards. This is a tension that is not resolved with quick deliberation, but one that merits a large collective reflection moving forward.
-
-A key example from Italy took place at the Chiari Hospital (Brescia), which had to face an emergency within the emergency, when the medical staff realized that the supply of valves necessary for the functioning of a resuscitation tool was running out and that the manufacturer had run out of spare parts due to the high demand. A local 3D printing company, involved by a Milanese fablab, was contacted and they were able to produce a copy of the valve in less than 6 hours. However, the manufacturer is now menacing to sue and technically producing this piece of equipment could also incur in legal troubles as it has not been certified as safe by the health authorities. The Italian Republic, like many others, could stop or prevent an eventual lawsuit via a legislative act of 2005 (LD 10 February 2005, n. 30, Art. 141) regulating state expropriations of registered or patented industrial property rights if this is "in the interest of the country's military defense or for other reasons of public utility."

-# The problem with working online
-
-As many tasks and meetings are moved online, including, crucially, teaching activities, we urgently need a workers-led reflection on the use and owneership of online platforms. These tools risk to prepare the terrain for a restructuring of working conditions that might justify further layoffs and increase worker's surveillance. Importantly, issues of ownership of these technological infrastructure (owned by companies that are making profit via the licences and the reselling of the data collected); questions of privacy and opt-out options for users; and of control over the generated contents (let's think for example, at lectures being recorded which can then be used to replace teachers) feature strongly here. If you are part of a union or if your workplace is introducing tools for remote workflows, consider raising some of the issues and launching an equiry into what tool are deployed and how.
-
-Here is a reflection from a teacher on the rush to move all teaching online:
-
-> For my colleagues who are now being instructed to put some or all of the remainder of their semester online, now is a time to do a poor job of it. You are NOT building an online class. You are NOT teaching students who can be expected to be ready to learn online. And, most importantly, your class is NOT the highest priority of their OR your life right now. Release yourself from high expectations right now, because that’s the best way to help your students learn.
-> If you are getting sucked into the pedagogy of online learning or just now discovering that there are some pretty awesome tools out there to support students online, stop. Stop now. Ask yourself: Do I really care about this? (Probably not, or else you would have explored it earlier.) Or am I trying to prove that I’m a team player? (You are, and don’t let your university exploit that.) Or I am trying to soothe myself in the face of a pandemic by doing something that makes life feel normal? (If you are, stop and instead put your energy to better use, like by protesting in favor of eviction freezes or packing up sacks of groceries for kids who won’t get meals because public schools are closing.)

-The Dutch government is exploring the use of an app meant to offer you insight into whether you have been in the proximity of someone infected with the COVID-19-virus. Should the authorities deploy such an app, then it should meet with the following requirements. These requirements have been drawn up by experts in the fields of information technology, computer security, privacy and the protection of constitutional rights. We believe these principles to be necessary for the protection of our freedoms and rights as well as our safety and social cohesion. Should these principles not be met, we don't have confidence in any such app and we will resist its implementation.

-# Is the use of technology in housing neutral?
-
-Over the last decade(s), rapidly shifting technological landscapes have combined with the trends of financialization affecting the housing in myriads of ways. Although technology as such is represented as neutral, it is not neutral and has significant implications on the social and economic relation, including the impact it has on the financial accumulation, where extraction is facilitated by use of technology, and the housing governance where technology obscures human agency.
-
-Digital technology, in particular, comprises a terrain struggle over housing that has been emerging as central in the last couple of years. Proposed resources will help in opening the discussion about the politics of digital technologies in the domain of housing, about new forms of accumulation through tech, and about new terrains of struggle in which a confrontation is aimed at the effects of technology.
-
-## Proposed resources
-
-- **Read about the impact of different tech practices on housing:**
- - 
- - 
-- **How to use tech in housing struggles:**
- - [Housing Data Coalition](https://www.housingdatanyc.org/)
-
-## How to learn together
-
-Read the proposed articles before you come to the session. Split into smaller groups. Each group has to choose one project of Housing Data Coalition and look into it closely. Make notes. Come back together and report back what you have learned. Discuss the differences in the impacts of technology that you have mapped. Write down the questions that you were unable to answer. Share your notes with other Pirate Care Syllabus users.

-# The rules
-
-- A game for one or more teams
-- There are no winners, but there may be any or all of the following: alliances, tactics, strategy, fierce love and unrequited competition
-- No umpires, no referees, no priests, no judges, no jury, no prison, no police, no police, no police
-- Play seriously
-- If you don't like the rules devised by your team, consider making your own team.
-- If you don't like the way your team follows or interprets the rules, you need to address this together. The game is paused, tentatively forfeit, while this division is not being guided towards resolution.
-- Herecies / Factions are possible. See below. Are they desireable? They still follow the rules.
-- When you do the [beginning ritual] you are in the team and the game has started.
-
-- The team's goal is to differentiate itself from other teams, whether these be social scenes, cultural groupings, religions, nation states, corporations, institutions, etc..
-- It achieves this by learning to mimick or parody certain elements it chooses from other teams, and distorting, stretching, exagerrating or inverting those elements
-
-- Your team is accountable to each member, and to certain core values
-- Your team must elaborate and map these accountabilities; this may be based on the examples set out in 'Friends Make the Best Medicine', 'The Accountability Model' (PMS), or other sources...
-
-- These core values must be exalted. But must they? What are we doing when we elevate the needs of the play above the needs/desires/will of the player?
-
-- If your team was a religion or spirituality, would it have any sacred texts?
-- If your team was a political vanguard would it have a manifesto?
-- If your team was a band of travelling players, what would its repetoir be?
-- Sacred/Special texts may only be chosen, edited, or removed, by consensus of the whole team
-- How do you access, reflect on, and share these texts? Do you evangelise? Do you perform? Do you hand out pamphlets on street corners?
-
-- What about sounds, sights, textures, smells, tastes, dreams, etc? How does it share these things?
-- How else might your team build and nourish relations with the more-than-human? Can more-than-human beings be in your team?
-- If your team was a conspiracy, how would it disguise itself in plain sight?
-- If it needed to disguise its communications, or write in code, how would it do this?
-
-- If your team competed in a sport, what would its go-to strategies be? Would it be strong on offensive, or defensive play?
-
-- If your team was a criminal gang, what crimes would it commit, and how?
-
-- If your team wore something discrete, in public, so that members can notice each other, what would this be?
-- If your team wore something ceremonial, in private, to celebrate being together out of the view of outsiders, what would it do?

-# Reproductive rights
-
-While routine and non-urgent procedures are being postponed in the areas most affected by the epidemic, the exceptionality of the situation is negatively impacting women's right to a safe abortion. In the USA, for instance, Republican lawmakers are demanding that any new funding to combat COVID-19 include the anti-abortion Hyde Amendment.

-
-
-Therefore, organising networks that can map which hospitals are guaranteeing access to abortion is becoming a priority. In Italy, a [Telegram Channel](https://t.me/aborto_emergenzaCOVID19) and a 24h hotline (+39 3319634889) were opened by the activist network [Obiezione Respinta](https://obiezionerespinta.info), in order to provide a mapping service (updated daily) and information about hospital and farmacies that guarantee reproductive rights.

-# Domestic violence
-
-Warning: for many, #stayathome is by no means a reassuring invitation. An increase of domestic violence at a time of forced domesticity, something that we can easily imagine, was plentifully in evidence in the first epicenter of the pandemic in China, where [divorces](https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/world/2020/03/coronavirus-spike-in-divorces-as-fighting-couples-forced-into-isolation-report.html) have been spiking and the hashtag [#AntiDomesticViolenceDuringEpidemic #疫期反家暴#](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-51705199) was used over 3,000 times in the first month of the epidemic.
-
-More recently, we have seen similar trends emerging in the second epicentre, Italy, a country notorious even in less difficult times for its high numbers of femicides at the hands of "those who hold the house keys". During the last few days, chilling videos of domestic violence have begun to circulate on social media. These are videos that we will not link here, but that feminist sentinels on the net are mapping and trying to contain the cases.
-
-The most significant action to combat domestic violence in these times of forced and prolonged proximity was put in place by the network of Italian anti-violence centers [DiRE](https://www.dire.it/12-03-2020/432907-coronavirus-violenza-donne-veltri-d-i-re-chiamateci-noi-ci-siamo/), with the support of the national transfeminist movement Non Una Di Meno. This network has so far secured the regular operation of national and regional domestic violence hotlines.
-
-In this context, it becomes increasingly clear how gender violence is a structural device against which a perspective of systemic transformation must be activated, with initiatives ranging from educational prevention to workplace measures.

-# Carework
-
-Workers who face the greatest health risks during the pandemic are the workers that carry out essential [social reproduction tasks](https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/03/15/business/economy/coronavirus-worker-risk.html), such as cleaners, nurses, homecarers, cashiers and sexworkers. Yet, as feminist critiques explained many times over, these job are often worse off in terms of salary, hardship, precarity and safety conditions. They are also most often performed by women and migrants.
-
-The statement of anonymous hospital cleaner from Bergamo (one of the cities hit hardest by the pandemic) has been shared many times on social media:
-
-> We are the invisible workers. We are the ones who get up at 5am in the morning, but nobody sees us. The only trace of our existence is the cleaning we do, which often goes unnoticed, as it is taken for granted. But we exist, we are here too. We too, the workers of the hospital cleaning service, are doing everything we can to make our organization as safe as possible during this period. We are here, despite the fact that no one talks about us, despite the fears, given the risks that we and our families are facing. We are here and we work, even if our collective bargaining agreement expired years ago, leaving us with ridiculous wages. Yes, we are working too, unceasingly like others, for ourselves and for the whole community.

-
-Furthermore, even the economic redistributive measures set aside by the Italian government after a few weeks from the start of the pandemic, the "Cura Italia" decree, do not seem to 'see' care workers in the domestic and assistance sector. The measures in favor of this sector, in fact, are vague and not sufficient, also because many of the people who carry out these tasks are unregular workers and mostly migrants. Instead, it is precisely from this sector that we should start again to think of a new form of 'care democracy'.

----
-
-# Part three: Time
-
-**We don’t have time for this!**
-
-Time is the number one barrier to participation in The Hologram project, with good reason: we guard our time against anything that could chip away at the hours and energy we are made to dedicate to work, pleasure or survival. Under capitalism, time has become the most valuable commodity we have, outside of our body. As capitalism becomes more and more punishing and demanding, we have less and less time to imagine a different future. We’ve even heard people say that the ability to “imagine” something outside of work and survival is a “privilege.”
-But as we’ve already seen, capitalism is, among other things, a brilliant technology of weaponized avoidance. For our purposes, it helps us avoid at least three basic truths:
- 1. Humans are fundamentally cooperative and interdependent
- 2. We live on land and are part of that land
- 3. We will die
-
-What would it mean to live without forgetting these truths? Our time would be very different. If we focused on learning how to cooperate without coercion we would have to reorganize what we produce, how we produce it, and why. If we acknowledged that we lived on land, and that land was alive, and we are a part of it, we would laugh at the absurdity of the concept of private property. If we lived our whole lives embracing the knowledge that we will die, we would better consider future generations as we made decisions. We might spend our whole lives carefully considering our uses of materials and time, knowing that our collective material and social traces produce the next generations’ world. We would recognize that the now-dead once did so for our benefit. We would know that, when we die, we become each others’ soil.
-If we remembered and believed these three truths, how would we spend our time? What would our relationships look like? Where would we live and how? What would be our “work” and how would we be valued?
-
-
-### How and why The Hologram wastes your time
-
-The Hologram aims to train us to create and live in a post-capitalist future, when work (as in labour exploited for a wage) is abolished. We will still need to cooperate, but in new ways, motivated by the above truths, not the need for someone else to profit and for us all to compete. When liberated from being confined to a “job,” how would we express and share our passions, skills, powers and dreams? In post-capitalism, we will all contribute our time and energy, but likely in very different ways.
-Today, for many of the readers of this text, participation in the Hologram feels like an impossible time commitment in an already over-busy life, but this is exactly why you should try it. It is a practice for liberating time, though it also takes time. It does so for participants at all stages. The following walks you through three phases of one’s participation to explain.
-
-### You are the hologram
-We suggest that you who are reading this begin participating in The Hologram by inviting three people to act as your Triangle. You, the Hologram, facilitates a conversation where your group decides who should play what role (who is in charge of asking about and holding social, mental/emotional, and physical health information). Next you decide together how long this experiment will last. When will you meet, and for how long?
-
-> *Sample plan: You may meet on the first Wednesday of every third month, or on the day after the seasons change four times per year. You may start with a one year commitment to this process, or something else. Perhaps you meet for two hours each session. This seems possible, right?*
-
-Consider what this would do to your sense of time. The Hologram is an impractical and life-giving social planning technology. How far in the future are you able to imagine right now? What in your life will be in place in three months, in six months, in two years? It may be scary to look into the future. If it isn’t, you may be delusional. In such an unpredictable time, it is hard to know what will remain of our current lives in the future. But if we don’t begin to construct some ideas and practices that will shape our future in ways that serve us, then tech corporations, banks, right wing governments and other anti-social saboteurs will have a complete run of it.
-The Hologram model asks us to put a formal agreement together with people in our community that will extend, outlandishly, into the future. Beyond the multiple overlapping crises that we will face, we can make commitments that structure our future selves and give us a sense of belonging no matter where we are. Making a decade-long plan with your friends seems like heresy while we work daily to survive a deranged and predatory economy, alone and alienated, unable to prepare for the next crisis. This is exactly why you may want to commit to spending a few years with The Hologram, with your triangle.
-
-### You care for your caretakers
-
-Being cared for, and being a hologram is never a one-way street. In order to receive care from other people, it is crucial that you help ensure that those people are cared for. It is not optional, it is required. So, in one of your early meetings you, the hologram, must help your triangle consider the timeline in which they will become holograms and develop their own triangles of support.
-
-> *Sample plan: During your second Hologram meeting, the hologram proposes that each of the members of her triangle begin to invite three people to be their triangle/supports, to make themselves a hologram. It is agreed upon that this will take place before the next meeting. You talk together about what would make for a good triangle member.*
-
-As a practicing hologram, you have created and fulfilled a role for yourself that does not yet exist in our society. In this post-capitalist “job”, in being vulnerable and open to receiving care, you are the expert and the teacher. No one knows more than you about what makes you healthy. Just like starting a new job, you have to create a workspace that is appropriate for the work you need to do. So, it is your job to arrange and coordinate the triangle. Under capitalism, this kind of work is not valued. We value it in The Hologram.
-
-If time is money, then being the hologram, or participating in a Hologram, is like burning money. It’s a sacrifice that reveals your divestment from the accelerationist value system. Through the sacrifice we become different animals that can survive and see beyond the current economic landscape. If we use this collective work as an excuse to disentangle from capitalism’s way of valuing our time, and valuing us, we may begin to see what we are or what we could become without it. How would you identify yourself if you never had to have a “job” again? What would you do all day if you didn’t need to “work” in order to live? How would you value your time if it was disconnected from money? How would you cooperate and contribute if you could do so in the way and in the conditions you chose? What would your role be in the post-work, post-capital future? What would a satisfying day look like?
-
-### You become triangular
-
-When the three members of your triangle each have transitioned to holograms with their own triangle supporting them, it is your chance to transform into a caretaker within someone else’s Hologram. This is the pinnacle of The Hologram project.
-Sample plan: in your third meeting, you, as hologram, inquire if the three members of your triangle have established themselves as holograms. If so, you can ask for their help to become a member of a triangle for a new Hologram. Maybe the new hologram is a co-worker or friend you’ve told about the project, somebody who understand the point of the project is solidarity, not charity. As a future member, you shouldn’t organize a new hologram’s triangle for them, but you can help and offer suggestions. It is important that each hologram take the initiative and responsibility to organize their Hologram and triangle.
-
-## Questions for consideration
-A. In the world we want to create, how will we value our time? Do we measure it? Do we even know it is there? What would we do all the time? How will we value ourselves and each other?
-B. What will your post-capitalist “job” be?
-
-## Activity 4
-Write, walk, think, or draw as you imagine 10 years in the future. If that is overwhelming, here are some questions to help you distill your thoughts.
-
-* What do you know about yourself and your situation at that time?
-* What do you not know about yourself and your situation at that time?
-* What do you look forward to taking place between now and then?
-* What do you fear may take place between now and then?
-* What can you plan?
-* What will make you feel prepared to handle what is coming?
-* What do you wish for yourself?
-* Why? What’s underneath that desire?
-* What do you wish for you and for everyone?
-* How can you be best prepared to make that possible?
-
-*Please do not avoid the global, political, and environmental situation, and your connection to community and society in your thoughts*
-
-## Activity 5
-How did you stay together with your Triangle for 10 years? Write, walk, think, or draw as you imagine 10 years in the future as a Hologram. If that is overwhelming, here are some questions to help you distill your thoughts.
-
-Imagine that you found three people to be in your Hologram, and that you stayed together for 10 years. They each had their own Hologram. You were also part of someone else’s Triangle, maybe two people’s. There is a sense of trust between people, but also something more specific. These are new kinds of relationships that are formal, sustainable and warm. You feel like you are part of something that is different than your previous experiences of family, friendships, work relations, social movements, or professional caretakers. When you are caring for your Hologram, you feel like you are part of something larger.
-
-* How did you stay together with your Triangle for 10 years?
-* What skills did you personally develop to make this possible?
-* What are the benefits, to you, of having been in this group for so long?
-* What are the challenges you already faced together with your triangle?
-* What kinds of processes did you have to develop, and skills did the group have to learn, in order to do this?
-* How does it feel to imagine having this role in the Hologram, versus not having it?

-# Follow the kids' lead
-
-
-This workshop is designed for a group of families who are planning to build a pirate kindergarten in order to common childcare. The workshop can be conceived as a stand-alone session, however we suggest to take a second collective moment in order to organize the workshop .
-
-## Timing
-
-2 hours
-
-## Keywords
-
-City, Relation, Power Relations, Voice
-
-## Tools
-
-Bits of paper
-
-# Let's learn together
-
-## Step 1: Introduction (15 min.)
-
-Decide a specific spot in the city where to meet with all the families involved and their children. Prepare numbered pieces of paper according to the number of people involved and casually distribute them. Before starting the walk, every person (adult and children) should have a piece paper with a number indicating the progression with which the group will be guided.
-
-## Step 2: Just follow! (60 min. Or more according to the group length and strength)
-
-The first person who starts moving decides where to go for the first five minutes. The rest of the group follows behind silently. After every five minutes, the person leading the walk will change. Repeat this operation until everyone has had the chance to guide the group once. Do not be afraid to be led by babies on their feet or strollers. Just collectively listen to their needs and desires. Follow each other!
-
-## Step 3: Conclusions (45 min.)
-
-Find together a place where to rest or drink something. Discuss with children what you have discovered about the city and its inhabitants.

-title: "Part One: Trust"
----
-
-# Part one: Trust
-In 2014 I went to a payday lender in my neighborhood to borrow $750 to pay rent and buy groceries. It took me 2 years and $1600 to pay that debt. I did not ask a friend for the money I needed because I could not accept that anyone I trusted would want to help me, or that they could afford to help me. I didn’t know when or how I would be able to pay back the loan, and I wouldn’t want anyone to have to share my precarity with me. I also didn’t know whom I could explain my situation to without feeling ashamed. I didn’t want to undergo a negotiation that could expose my private economic failure, or to invite someone else to expose their private financial status to me. Instead, I went to a storefront debtshop I knew was hideously exploitative and extortionate and asked a stranger for money from behind thick glass. These days, I could do it over an app without seeing another human being, assuming that I could afford my phone bill.
-As more people fall below the poverty line or live in a state of constant economic emergency, “fringe” financial service companies have developed a multitude of easy and anonymous systems to offer fast loans through impersonal systems that sanitize exchange. This level of automation may reduce a feeling of shame for needing financial help, but it also eliminates the potential for experiencing care or practicing negotiation. There are a million ways to get quick money without feeling like a burden on any one. In an age where we are taught we can’t trust anyone but ourself, and when asking another to trust us is deeply uncomfortable, the quality of social bonds, and even our ability to imagine and create those social bonds corrodes. This doesn’t just happen in the debt industry, but across a world reshaped by capitalism as we’re constantly told to trust corporations and politicians we know are ripping us off just so we don’t have to learn to trust ourselves and one another. I have identified three of the toxic lessons experiences like these teach us that we need to unlearn if we are going to build a post-capitalist future.
-
-
-## Three toxic lessons to unlearn
-
-
-**Bad support**
-
-Bad support, which is usually given by corporations but also sometimes by austerity-minded governments, begins when you’re led to believe that you are receiving some kind of help that will allow you to thrive, but then this ‘help’ reveals itself to take more than it ever gives. Often and obviously this comes in the form of extortionate debt, a life line that’s actually a noose, but it can come in other forms too: a dream job that turns into a nightmare, etc. The worst part of this lesson is that it trains us to expect bad support or unexpected punishment when we are most in need, so we may start to avoid seeking any kind of support and believe in self reliance which is impossible for a cooperative species. Worse still, we may reproduce this pattern when we are asked for support, because it is all we know: we become bad support for others. This may happen because we fear our support for others will be bad and so we never learn to offer it. Or when we offer support, we’re so scared of making a mistake that we overdo it and exhaust ourselves, or offer non-transformative support that maintains the status quo.
-
-
-**The atrophy of the sharing muscle**
-
-If we can only receive help from corporations or institutions, we lose the skills and practices involved in asking for and offering help from people in our community. Having relationships where our central resources are carefully shared is fundamentally intuitive to humans, a cooperative species. Like language these practices are far from innate. They take energy, time, and practice. Central resources include housing, money, and our skilled labour. Sharing them requires lifelong practices of communication and negotiation. Unfortunately, since sharing is so devalued in this society, we are led to believe that it’s easy or automatic. But when we do not actively practice sharing our resources, we lose the muscles needed to do so, and we may even forget that this kind of hard core interdependence is possible or desirable. Indeed, it can seem like a threat. Attention and care are also central resources, and, while we all have the capacity to produce and receive them it’s not automatic and requires practice and structure.
-
-**Failienation**
-
-If we don’t have experiences sharing resources, or sharing our stories of struggle in an unfair financial and social landscape, we may feel like we alone are failures: failienation. If we feel that our inability to thrive is our personal responsibility and that we alone have failed (instead of realizing that the systems of support have failed all of us), we may not want to share our story or ask for help because we assume that we would be a burden on other people (if we assume they are not feeling like failures themselves). This is a self-defeating defense mechanism and often manifests in everyday life as being anti-social or even incurious towards others.
-It’s vital to recognize that falienation also affects the fortunate. Say that you’ve worked out a way to survive well enough in this brutal financial landscape and your material needs are covered or exceeded. This can be alienating in part because your security comes largely from your ability to purchase what you need, rather than rely on others, and partly because you are living in a society where some people’s comfort comes at the expense of others. In a system where only some are permitted to thrive, we come to resent one another, in all directions, which maximizes distrust and makes it even harder to learn to share central resources.
-
-
-## Learning to trust ourselves again for the first time
-
-The Hologram is a social technology to rebuild the social trust that has been dissolved by living in and with Capitalism. Decades of neoliberalism and austerity have taught us that our health is our personal responsibility. Most governments’ responses to the current pandemic have allowed whatever trust we had in them to look out for our welfare to melt like salt in hot water, and now we have to gargle with this stuff. Many people have lost their jobs and their ability to pay rent, and the state (in most cases) has done little to nothing to support them. The last crystals of trust in society have dissolved.
-
-This is (always already!) the time to ask: How do we imagine our own care, before or during an emergency, within a set of completely unstable conditions?
-
-The Hologram creates a space where it is possible to have repeated social experiences of commitment and attention from people who are doing so without economic motivation. It is a practice-ground where these invaluable experiences can be given and received, accepted and sanctioned. The assumption of The Hologram is that we can train ourselves to trust each other and to trust ourselves.
-We are in for the fight of our lives in the years to come to save the world from capitalism, but whatever post-capitalism we hope to build can’t be magicked into existence and will not be handed to us. To better be able to join the struggle for it, and to prepare to take our place within it as cooperative, interconnected animals, we need to practice new forms of trust. It is simple as an idea and much harder as a practice, because we have all been taught toxic lessons. So, experimenting with sharing hardcore resources, starting with time and energy, may feel uncomfortable or dangerous. It is only with repetition and persistence that we can “remember” or rebuild some of these skills that we had to shed to survive a hyper individualistic financial landscape. We believe this is a practice that anyone can participate in.
-
-
-### Questions for consideration
-
-* Can we do this without experts?
-* Can we do this without space?
-* Can we do this without money?
-* Can we do this without stability?
-* Can we do this when we are all a little sick?
-* Can we do this when we have been taught that we can only trust experts?
-* Can we do this when we don’t even trust ourselves?
-
-
-## Activity 1
-
-1. On paper make a T chart. On the left side write a list of who you call when you are really stuck but need to make a decision.
-2. On the right side list all the people who come to you for the same reason.
-3. Which side has more people?
-4. What’s the difference between the people who you trust, and those who trust you?
-5. What would it take to help the people who need support to be able to become people who you could go to for support? Or, what would help your supporters become better at what they do for you? And, what would make you better at offering support?
-6. For each person, and in relationship to you, consider the following:
- a. Boundaries (positive and negative)
- b. Courage (yours and theirs)
- c. Skills (yours and theirs)
-7. Based on your considerations, circle the three people you might approach to be your triangle, if you were to be a hologram.
-8. Based on your considerations above, circle the three people whom you might learn from if they were a hologram and you were in their triangle.

-# Session 4: Undoing the division carer / cared for
-
-**Introduction**
-
-In this session, we look at the strategies used by Sea Watch to make visible own biases in terms of latent sexism and racism as well as their influence on organizational practices and structures. We reflect on the potential pitfalls of power implicit in the giving and receiving different kinds of caring, restraints and limits to undoing of the division between care givers and recipients, and available ways to puncture and dilute these diving lines.
-
-## **Let’s learn together**
-
-**Step 1: Lets’s read**
-
-Participants read aloud:
-
-* The chapter “Talking Race and Racism”, starting with last paragraph on the page 29, from
-
-
-
-* The paragraph “And we learn-teach” from
-
-
-* Pages 120-127 from 
-
-
-
-* Statements from :
-
- - “An aim of the ethics of care is to promote the responsible autonomy of the cared-for where this is appropriate.” p.84
-
- - “Ethics of care...demands that meeting the needs of the vulnerable be seen as valuable” p.132
-
-
-**Step 2: Let’s talk about how we talk**
-
-Share mixed experiences, lessons learned, and strategies of the activist group / organization as well as those of the activists, related to sexism and racism. Look into:
-
-(1) unstructured, spontaneous or ad hoc conversations around sexism and/or racism,
-
-(2) internal organizational mechanisms for responding to denounced instances of sexism/racism on the ship,
-
-(3) conversations among carers (crew) and cared for (guests) that touch issues of sexism/racism,
-
-(4) interventions of the carers (crew) in situations of sexism/racism among cared for-s (guests), and
-
-(5) working groups active on the issues of sexism/racism. Give examples. Open for discussion.
-
-**Step 3: Guests and hosts**
-
-Explain the constraints on the undoing of the carer/cared for division. On the Sea Watch 3, these are:
-
-(1) temporal dimension of the relationship between the crew and the guests on board – short time spans, at least before the times of long stand-offs,
-
-(2) logistical, skilled workload, security and safety issues that are basis for control mechanisms (e.g. taking away lighters from guests, not allowing them to certain spaces in/on the ship, not including them in work that requires specific skills) and coordination mechanisms, and
-
-(3) issues of psychosocial and physical vulnerability – different survivors need different care, all carry traumas, some require specific medical care…
-
-
-Think which of these, and to what extent, should and can be undone or modified in a way that introduces more mutuality, and which should not and/or cannot. Examples of challenging the clean division of recipients and givers of care on the ship: including guests in the searching for boats in distress with binoculars, in ship maintenance tasks and preparation of meals.

-# "Living to work" and "working to live"
-
-
-This workshop aims to collectively visualize the boundaries and the overlapping material and social conditions between "living to work" and "working to live". Playing with parody and simulating our recurrent attitudes related to work, it is a way to subvert and transform our ‘natural’ and ideologically constructed relation with the impossibility of not working.
-The workshop can be conceived as a stand-alone session, however, it is suggested as a pair with the workshop .
-
-
-## Timing
-
-3 hours
-
-## Keywords
-
-Ethics of Work, Production, Productivism, Performance
-
-## Tools
-
-Chair, Mattress, Candles, Paper, Pen, Dark Environment, Print-outs of [Paper 1](/topic/commoningcare/unproductiveresistance/3.PAPER-01.jpg), [Paper 2](/topic/commoningcare/unproductiveresistance/3.PAPER-02.jpg) and [Paper 3](/topic/commoningcare/unproductiveresistance/3.PAPER-03.jpg)

-
-# Let's learn together
-
-## Step 1: Introduction (10 min.)
-
-Welcome everybody and thank them for taking this time out from their daily life-work routines. Ask participants to be silent, to sit on the floor or to lay down on the mattress, to breath in and out deeply. Guide the session.
-
-## Step 2: Living for work or working to live? (15 min.)
-
-Keeping silence, ask participants to think about the following three questions and to write down the answers on three different papers:
-- Do you work more than what you could honestly do? [Paper 1](/topic/commoningcare/unproductiveresistance/3.PAPER-01.jpg)
-- If yes, who/what is making you do so (anxiety, fear of losing your job, I like it!, I don’t know, …)? [Paper 2](/topic/commoningcare/unproductiveresistance/3.PAPER-02.jpg)
-- Can you define which advantages your over-working is bringing to the rest of your life (try to answer anyway)? [Paper 3](/topic/commoningcare/unproductiveresistance/3.PAPER-03.jpg)
-
-## Step 3: Ritual n. 1 (20 min.)
-
-Put on a rhythmic background music. Ask participants to parody the language associated with their condistions of over-work. This should become a choir of complaints related to time, impossibility and anxiety (mainly Paper 3-2). Guide participants to open up and voice their contributions with determination.
-
-## Step 4: Ritual n. 2 (20 min.)
-
-Keep a rhythmic music playing in the background. When the group is ready, ask participants to continue repeating the same complaints but as if they were having sex and/or an orgasm. This should become something like a porn film sound-track made by complaints related to time, impossibility and anxiety. Guide participant to perform their sex voice by doing it yourself loudly.
-
-## Step 5: Let’s read (60 min.)
-
-Bring at the centre of the room printouts from the suggested bibliography (see bottom of this page) and ask participants to look through the materials and choose a paragraph they will like to read to the group. After reading each paragraph take 5 minutes to discuss it.
-
-## Step 6: Ritual n. 3 (15 min.)
-
-Put all Papers 3 at the centre of the room and ask participants one by one to take a paper and read it aloud for all.
-
-## Step 7: Ritual n. 4 (20 min.)
-
-Guide a discussion around the advantages written on Papers 3, analyzing the boundaries between personal desires and expectations generated by the context.
-
-## Step 8: Conclusions (15 min.)
-
-Ask participants how they feel about the workshop, share with them the bibliography by asking their email contact. Say godbye to everyone, thanking them for taking this time out from their daily life-work routines.

-title: "Urine Hormone Extraction Action"
----
-
-Using a basic understanding of chemistry principles such as polarity and solubility, participants will build and perform a urine-hormone extraction protocol using cheap and easy-to-find materials. This protocol was generated through the project [Estrofem! Lab](http://maggic.ooo/Estrofem-Lab-2016), dedicated to the collaborative production of hormone hacking protocols for citizen investigation of bodies and environments. In addition, the participants will be encouraged to think of the protocol as a kind of cooking recipe, referring to the fact that we have always been biohackers.
-
-The results of this short experiment will be a brown sticky substance that is a collection of all kinds of steroidal-like molecules, and will be followed by a reflective discussion: What kinds of queer, disobedient embodiments can we find in urinary hormones? How can we generate new subjectivities around hormones? Can we imagine speculative scenarios where we recycle hormones produced in the body?
-
-# Materials
-- Paper towels
-- Scissors
-- Cups (for urine)
-- Glass bottle cutter
-- Tweezers with needle nose
-- U-post fence bracket
-- Angle bracket
-- 2 metal threaded rods per bracket (500mm/9.5mm)
-- Zip-ties (large, colorful prefered)
-- Pipe clamp with black rubber and threaded nail (various diameters)
-- Any glass bottle, recycled
-- Cigarette filters, variety of brands to compare
-- Blue to Pink Silica Gel (bulk on Amazon)
-- Parafilm
-- Methanol
-- Falcon Tubes (50mL)
-- Falcon Tube Rack (able to boil)
-- Hotplate
-- Aquarium air pump with ¼” tubing
-- Pot for boiling
-
-# DIY Column Construction
-Two metal rods are fixed to a bracket by zip ties.
-One pipe clamp per metal rod is then fixed by zip ties.
-Make an incision around a glass bottle using the glass bottle cutter.
-Pour hot water around the incision, then cold water. This should cause the two pieces to separate. The cut glass bottle will be the column.
-Wrap the neck opening with parafilm.
-Poke a small hole with tweezers.
-Pack column with a layer of cigarette filters (preferably to take off the wrapper). This will be the nonpolar environment.
-Pack column with a layer of silica gel (amount depends on volume of bottle). This will be the polar environment.
-
-# Urine Extraction
-Collect a urine sample in a plastic cup.
-Place a new plastic cup underneath the column (waste collection).
-Pour methanol (5-10mL) down the column. This is the “conditioning” step.
-Now pour water down the column, washing any excess methanol.
-Dispose the waste down the drain if it gets too full at this point.
-Pour your urine sample down the column. This is called “loading the sample.” Repeat at least 5 times to ensure binding of hormones to the stationary phase.
-Pour the waste down the drain.
-Now “elute” the hormones (get them off the stationary phase) by pouring methanol (4-5mL) down the column. (Methanol is a solvent described in many scientific papers as having effective binding properties for steroidal molecules). Repeat at least 5 times to ensure efficient elution of hormones. Make sure the final elution ends up in a 15mL falcon tube.
-Place the falcon tube of methanol-hormones in a pot of boiling water. Use air pump to facilitate the evaporation of methanol. This process varies depending on amount of methanol.
-Once you see a dry, brown, sticky substance, you can take the tube off the hot water. The final product is a collection of hormones, or steroidal molecules in general. To isolate only estrogen would require an additional step of purification, which needs to be further investigated.
-Smell and share with your friends!

-# Session 2: We are all on the same ship, aren’t we?
-
-**Introduction**
-
-At their very best, responses to a problem perceived as external to particular (individual or group) agency - in origin at least, and possibly of such a scale that it gets called a “crisis” - include intensified emphasis on community organizing. It is one of this charged words, rich in history yet elusive in its contemporary forms in capitalist societies: a community. (Mostly reduced to the following prefixing contexts: indigenous, gated, activist.)
-A community can be conceptualized as an ongoing process/action of co-producing relationships, values, material resources, infrastructures, needs, preferences, commitments, identities, and beings. In the words of John A. Schumacher (
-
-), making community is never over: community is the making of it. On a search and rescue ship, with crews of 22 most of whom change for each mission - every three weeks or so – there is a strong overlap between missions and communities. So-called virtual communities, on the other hand, can stretch longer in time but lack a connection to a place and sustenance and are perhaps always affinity groups rather than communities.
-
-## Let’s Learn Together
-
-
-**Step 1: Introduce ourselves**
-
-**Step 2: Let’s read (30 min.)**
-
-Participants take turns reading aloud a paragraph each of the introduction to the Camille’s stories in  (pages 137-143).
-The facilitator reads out the following statements of the interviewees from
-:
-
-* Sea Watch crews see abuses of people in Lybia (torture, slavery, rape, etc.) as intolerable, human life and freedom of movement as valuable irrespective of race, and it runs the ship in their own way, operating “outside of the wishes of the states, not outside of the law.” (Kim)
-
-* It is exactly the common goal and common cause that has also led to failure of crew care in some cases, according to Ruben, “because we always put the mission first, and sometimes we should say crew first”, not as regards safety on board but giving time off to hard-working volunteers.
-
-* In the words of Daniel: “Without the ship being in good order, we’d be in trouble. That focuses people on being a good community, cleaning, being responsible.” There is a common understanding that consequences of lack of care for the ship can mean a “a bad rescue, where our actions could contribute to people dying” (Daniel), or inability to stay operational, if the organization fails to comply with legal standards regarding the condition of the ship.
-
-* (Kim) pointed out that everyone’s voice is heard – although whether one would voice an opinion is up to an individual crew member – and that this has been “built into the organization from the beginning, and not something that grew organically on the ship. It was consciously decided to have as flat a hierarchy and as inclusive environment as possible.
-
-* (Lorenz) observed that opinions and proposals of crew members who are shy or disliked are less likely to be heard. Lorenz also noted that skill-sharing acts as an equalizing mechanism: everyone is invited to learn new skills.
-
-* Due to the large number of people participating in the weekly teleconference call, which is the decision making forum, discussions are difficult and decisions are de facto made about ideas that had been discussed first in small circles of friends.
-
-
-**Step 3: Vessels of the times past (30 min.)**
-
-Ask participants to map out their experience that comes closest to their notion of community along the vectors of relationships, values, material resources, infrastructures, needs, preferences, commitments, identities and beings. Ask them to discover what was missing in each plane, where they overlap, and what alternative ways of connecting these planes exist. Guide participants in the analysis of the above concepts that enables mapping to be as concrete as possible. Ask how features internal to the community (e.g. size of the community, communication structures, decision-making structures) and those external to it (e.g. place where it was situated, climate, political context) shaped the experience.
-
-**Step 4: Ce ci n’est pas un bateau (45 min.)**
-
-Ask participants to imagine a community that would come closer to a functional community along the same vectors as mentioned above, and to map them out one by one, without reference to others. Then, ask them to put these mini maps together. Guide a discussion around what has happened.
-
-Bring back the maps made in the Step 2 and contrast them with new maps. Solicit observations and thoughts on this process as well as what participants find as interesting discoveries in their maps, guide a discussion. Examine the choices of each of internal and external features of community making/maintenance and ideas underlying those choices.
-
-
-**Step 5: Who are we (45 min.)**
-
-Ask the participants to list those who would be excluded or have trouble accessing their imagined community, as well as grounds and modes of exclusion/limited access. Then, ask them to revisit the maps and identify spaces where exclusion originated.

-title: "Situating Care"
----
-
-
-# What is care, where is it and what can it do?
-
-The term care can refer to a broad variety of activities and hold different meanings for different people. And yet, all depend on its provision to some extent, all practice it , albeith in widely different conditions, and all experience its effects, in negative and positive ways. Below you will find an activity that can help situating one’s experience of care; followed by some key definitions of care and a list of resources to unpack its various meanings and implications, organised in four groups: Care Ethics, Care of the Self, Caring as a Way of Knowing, Care Labour and Social Reproduction.
-
-
-## Introduction exercise: Care in your languages?
-
-This exercise can be practice also by those whose only language is English.
-Other languages have more than one word to express the meaning of care. If you are in a group where people speak different languages (or yourself do), it can be generative to list how care and similar concepts are expressed in these languages, how and when are these used, and what aspects of care they capture. Try to think of different context for when these words might be used and by whom, and what impressions or images are associated with them.
-
-If for you or your group the only language is English, you can skip this first passage and move to the second moment of this reflection.
-
-The second step in this introductory exercise would consist of finding synonyms of the world ‘care’ or ‘caring’. Can you group them in different categories? Are there particular places of people associated with them?
-
-Finally, generate a list of activities that you associate with ‘care labour’. Do these activities share some characteristics? What kinds of skills are necessary for each? And what kind of resources and tools? Can you group the different kind of work together in different sub-groups? What might be different criteria for doing so? Are particular places or persons excluded from this listed activities?
-
-This exercise can be used as entry points to initiate a collective reflection on care for a group who might want to revisit its own way of perceiving, distributing and valuing its labour. The literature on care is vast, and it is therefore important to ask oneself what do we need to learn in the process of engaging with it? What needs change?
-
-**
-Some definitions of care and social reproduction:**
-
-- Joan Tronto and Berenice Fisher. "Toward a feminist theory of caring." Circles of care: Work and identity in women’s lives (1990), 35-62:
-
-> In the most general sense, care is a species activity that includes everything we do to maintain, continue and repair our world so that we may live in it as well as possible. That world includes our bodies, ourselves and our environment, all of which we seek to interweave in a complex, life-sustaining web.
-
-- Yeates, Nicola. 2004. “Global Care Chains. Critical Reflections and Lines of Enquiry” International Feminist Journal of Politics, 6 (3): 369–91:
-> a range of activities and relationships that promote the physical and emotional well-being of people “who cannot or who are not inclined to perform these activities themselves
-
-- Camille Barbagallo, [The Impossibility of the International Women’s Strike is Exactly Why It’s So Necessary]( https://novaramedia.com/2017/03/06/the-impossibility-of-the-international-womens-strike-is-exactly-why-its-so-necessary/), Novara Media, 6th March 2017:
-> All the work we (mostly women) do that makes and remakes people on a daily basis and intergenerationally.
-
-- David Graeber (twitter):
-> Caring labour is aimed at maintaining or augmenting another person’s freedom.
-
-- Nacy Fraser. ["Contradictions of capital and care."](https://newleftreview.org/issues/II100/articles/nancy-fraser-contradictions-of-capital-and-care) New Left Review 100.99 (2016), 117:
-
-
-> interactions that produce and maintain social bonds.
-
-- María Puig de la Bellacasa "‘Nothing comes without its world’: Thinking with Care." The Sociological Review 60.2 (2012), 197-216:
-
-> To care about something, or for somebody, is inevitably to create relation. Caring is more than an affective-ethical state: it involves material engagement in labours to sustain interdependent worlds, labours that are often associated with exploitation and domination.
-
-
-## Grounding exercise: Organisational Mapping of Care
-
-(Alone or as a group)
-
-The purpose of this activity is to become more away of the complex and intertwined webs of care that support or shape our lives, and to the different kinds of conditions and skills that characterise care labour.

-Map a typical day in your everyday life across the different organizations/institutions within which your various activities take place. (For example, your home, public transport, school, shop, gym, etc…). There is no one way to map your organisational life. It can be as detailed or as broad as it feels useful to you. Some people prefer more abstract diagrams, some use concentric circles or arrows, others chose more intricate ways of drawing and representing the various organizations.
-
-As a second step, add into the map (some or all) the main people with whom you interact in the different organisations.
-
-Now consider the following definition of care offered by Evelyn Nakano Glenn (author of [Forced to Care: Coercion and Caregiving in America](https://library.memoryoftheworld.org/#/book/ab05564f-e1b0-4172-94ac-39efe920768f), Harvard University Press, 2010):

-> Caring can be defined most simply as the relationships and activities involved in maintaining people on a daily basis and intergenerationally. Caring labor involves three types of intertwined activities. First, there is direct caring for the person, which includes physical care (e.g., feeding, bathing, grooming), emotional care (e.g., listening, talking, offering reassurance), and services to help people meet their physical and emotional needs (e.g., shopping for food, driving to appointments, going on outings). The second type of caring labor is that of maintaining the immediate physical surroundings/milieu in which people live (e.g., changing bed linen, washing clothing, and vacuuming floors). The third is the work of fostering people's relationships and social connections, a form of caring labor that has been referred to as "kin work" or as "community mothering." An apt metaphor for this type of care labor is "weaving and reweaving the social fabric." All three types of caring labor are included to varying degrees in the job definitions of such occupations as nurses' aides, home care aides, and housekeepers or nannies. Each of these positions involves varying mixtures of the three elements of care, and, when done well, the work entails considerable (if unrecognized) physical, social, and emotional skills.
-
-
-Keeping the three types of care labour described by Evelyn Nakano Glenn, chose a way of representing them and ascribe them to the people in the map in relation to you (giving/receiving care).
-
-
-**Reflection Questions:**
-
-* Is care spread evenly across your organisational map?
-
-* What are the organisations where you identified more care activities? Do they have similarities between them? (for instance, the way they are organised, their social purpose, their size, the kind of space they occupy?)
-
-* What are the people from who you receive most care? The ones to whom you give most? Do these people have similarities with you (age, class, race, gender, education levels, etc.)? Do these people have similarities between themselves?
-
-* Are your interactions more involved in one kind of care activities than others? Can you think of the reasons for why this is the case?
-
-* Are people from whom you receive care always the same as those who also are recipient of your care actions?
-
-* Let's now consider the three different kinds of care activities? Which ones are takin gplace as part of a paid job or service? Which ones are unpaid? Which ones are visible and valued socially? Which ones are not?
-
-* Are there people in your map with whom you don't have any care interaction? What is their position in relation to you?
-
-Different ways of thinking about care:

-# Care Ethics
-
-
-“The moral theory known as “ the ethics of care” implies that there is moral significance in the fundamental elements of relationships and dependencies in human life. Normatively, care ethics seeks to maintain relationships by contextualizing and promoting the well-being of care-givers and care-receivers in a network of social relations. Most often defined as a practice or virtue rather than a theory as such, “care” involves maintaining the world of, and meeting the needs of, ourself and others.”

-> Winner of the 1988 Before Columbus Foundation National Book Award, this path-breaking collection of essays is a clarion call to build communities that nurture our spirit. Lorde announces the need for a radical politics of intersectionality while struggling to maintain her own faith as she wages a battle against liver cancer. From reflections on her struggle with the disease to thoughts on lesbian sexuality and African-American identity in a straight white man's world, Lorde's voice remains enduringly relevant in today's political landscape. Those who practice and encourage social justice activism frequently quote her exhortation, "Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare."

-> The risk of dominating others and exercising a tyrannical power over them arises precisely only when one has not taken care of the self and has become the slave of one’s desires. But if you take proper care of yourself, that is, if you know ontologically what you are, if you know what you are capable of, if you know what it means for you to be a citizen of a city... if you know what things you should and should not fear, if you know what you can reasonably hope for and, on the other hand, what things should not matter to you, if you know, finally, that you should not be afraid of death – if you know all this, you cannot abuse your power over others.

-
-> There are several reasons why “know yourself” has obscured “take care of yourself.” First, there has been a profound transformation in the moral principles of Western society. We find it difficult to base rigorous morality and austere principles on the precept that we should give more care to ourselves than to anything else in the world. We are more inclined to see taking care of ourselves as an immorality, as a means of escape from all possible rules. We inherit the tradition of Christian morality which makes self-renunciation the condition for salvation. To know oneself was, paradoxically, a means of self-renunciation.

-title: "Part Two: Wishes"
----
-
-# Part two: Wishes
-Nothing makes me feel more alive than helping solve other people’s problems. It makes me feel powerful, useful, connected and of service. It is necessary work, and it uses all my skills: deep attention, creative problem solving, vengeful empathy. But the focus on problems, which tend to arise in moments of or approaching crisis, means we can never plan very far into the future. Because most of my loved ones have very little money or security, we use chewing gum to plug the leaks only long enough to get us to the next disaster. This is the way most of us must live right now at the intersection of many multi layered crises. We feel we can’t dare to wish for anything in case it distracts us from the crisis at hand, as if wishing were an unacceptable indulgence. Sybille Peters is an artist who has theorized wishes as a fundamental part of rigorous research practices. If it wasn’t for her work I think I would be unable to use the word without rolling my eyes at the same time.
-But what if we challenge ourselves to see through these emergencies and to go towards our wishes despite all the holes in our boats? After all, those holes are only going to get plugged, not really fixed, until we reach some sort of destination. Right now we keep going in circles. I think that in some way we use our own personal crises as a distraction when we are afraid of what we might wish for. So long avoided in the name of survival, we may not know our wishes, or we may not recognize them, especially if our wishes do not comply with what is on offer. We may feel like our wishes are not utterable, or that we don’t deserve to have wishes, either because we’re obviously a failure or because we already have too much. We may feel that our wishes don’t make sense in a capitalist context. We may have never seen a good wish come to fruition. We may feel that our wishes are too weird or individualistic or simple to talk about in the company of people we respect, who appear to have much better wishes. Or maybe there simply isn’t time to talk about this bullshit, which will keep us from the work of survival... and inevitably lead us to more disappointment. Making wishes in the apocalypse feels risky. But maybe the apocalypse in one way came from too many neglected wishes.
-
-***If all our crises are connected, then all our wishes are conspiring***
-
-I have a sixth or seventh sense that your deepest wishes may not be that different from mine. It takes time to be able to understand and articulate them. Even if I knew my wishes I may not be able to describe them because there aren’t many opportunities to practice that type of thinking or speaking. I don’t think wishes can live in a vacuum. Wishes are social. We create them together as we survive and learn what we want to escape and what we want to go towards. We hold them together.
-It is hard to wish for what we haven’t yet seen. And what if all we know is that we don’t want any more of what we have been exposed to? This is very scary. We may sometimes fixate on solving problems as a way to avoid having dangerous wishes. Our wishes might demand that we abolish this society and create a new one, one that can meet all our wishes. An honest wish can make it hard or even impossible to continue to participate in this society. How are you going to go to work for minimum wage if you know it is completely disconnected from what you want or believe in? What if the only way to meet your wish in our present society is to do something or benefit from something you hate? Me too. But the dangerous wishes are there, under the bed like a monster designed by you for you.
-
-## The wish beneath the wish
-
-As a member of a Triangle in the Hologram there is an opportunity to see someone’s struggles in relationship to their spoken or unspoken wishes. In isolation it can be really hard to remember our larger goals and wishes, especially when we have learned to be placated with bad news, untrustworthy information and massively unequal and unfair living conditions. This project asks all participants to uphold a forceful optimism: we will survive better together. We can create a world where our wishes are contingent on each others’ fulfillment, not on endless competition. And we suspect that the wishes we each have, when put together, can give us the energy and sustenance we need to engage in the coming crisis. We can solve each others’ problems as we go towards our dreams, and getting closer to what we want will give us the energy to continue to deal with the never-ending list of emergencies.
-The Hologram is one methodology for unpacking our wishes, because I suspect that there is always a wish hiding below our wishes.
-For example, you wish for a house on a nice piece of land, somewhere quiet and beautiful. Many people do. But the first level of unpacking includes the following questions: Why might you wish for that? Had you been taught to want that? What are you reproducing? Who else benefits from that wish? Who suffers at the hand of this wish?
-Is another layer beneath that? It’s important not to get caught up in beating ourselves up for our wishes, but ask deeper questions, to understand what they are trying to say. What kind of person is constructed by this wish? A taxpayer? A head of household? A gardener? A home decorator? A mother? Does the wish produce the character that you need and want to become, in the conditions that we are living in?
-What is below this wish? Is it that you seek stability? Do you desire safety? Do you want to experience natural beauty every day? Do you want to ensure your access to food? Do you want to be able to create a safe space for others in your community?
-There is always a multitude of wishes below the original wish. Maybe it’s wishes all the way down. By looking below the wish without shame, we may be able to understand what it is that is non-negotiable, and how we can meet the wish without compromising our values. Because if we fail to question and complicate our wishes, most of us at some point will have a hard time striving to meet our unquestioned wish within a system that is actually killing us or others so that only a handful can have their wish fulfilled, if indeed it is their wish and not a proxy.
-The work of excavating our wishes, of carefully and optimistically discovering our wishes beneath our wishes, and the ways our wishes are connected, is some of the work we can do in the Hologram.
-
-
-## Questions for consideration
-
-* What have you been taught to want?
-* What do you wish you wanted?
-* What do you want not to want?
-* What do you pretend to want?
-* What if you do not want what is on offer?
-* What do you want?
-
-## Activity 2
-
-Move your arms as if you are swimming freestyle, extending one, then the other, in constant motion in big circles, elbows pulling the arms above your shoulders.
-
-As you swim imagine yourself in a vast ocean. Night is falling and a storm is coming. You can’t see the shore, so you use your intuition to orient you. Project yourself in that direction, and swim vigorously so that the motion will naturally put your breath into rhythm. Continue for 7 minutes.
-
-Now, make a list of the three biggest challenges you currently face. If you overcame each of these challenges, recovered your energy, and realized you could safely make a wish, what would that wish be?
-
-What would it feel like to have support confronting these challenges? How would the three people you listed in Activity 1 offer you the kind of support you need to get to the wish? Create an invitation to your triangle that describes the type of support you would like to receive if they would join your Hologram.

-# Conditions in prisons
-
-### Prison Riots
-
-Since Saturday 7 March, in more than twenty Italian jails prisoners have been protesting and rioting. In just a few days, dozens of people got injured, ten prisoners died (according to the authorities, of an overdose after stealing drugs and methadone in the infirmaries, although this information has been disputed) and about seventy have escaped. Demonstrations continue in several institutions, and in some cases detainees are still occupying various sections of the prison complex.
-
-The reasons behind all these episodes are different and have to do both with the new emergency that Italy is experiencing, and with the chronic emergencies that the prison system has been experiencing for decades, such as overpopulation and under-resourcing. A common thread linking many cases is the fear of the new Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) infection and anger over the measures taken by prison authorities to contain it. The decision taken by the Ministry of Justice suspended, among other things, bonus day releases, partial freedom regimes and meetings with family members from 9 to 22 March. The measures have been prolonged. The only communications allowed between those who are serving a sentence and those who wait outside are phone and video calls, where the prison is able to guarantee them. The measures sparked the anger of those who thought it was yet another limitation of their rights, given that the infection could also spread through the workers and the prison police.

-# Emergencies in refugee camps
-
-Geneva, 10 March 2020 – The world’s response to the COVID-19 crisis must encompass and focus on all, including those forced to flee their homes. The elderly among the world’s forcibly displaced population are particularly vulnerable, warned today UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, launching its initial COVID-19 appeal. UNHCR is urgently seeking an initial US$33 million to boost the preparedness, prevention and response activities to address the immediate public health needs of refugees prompted by COVID-19.
-More than 70 million people globally have been forced by persecution, conflict, violence and human rights violations to flee their homes. Of those, more than 20 million are refugees, of whom 84 per cent are being hosted by low or middle-income nations which have weaker health and water and sanitation systems.

-The overcrowded and horrific living conditions in the hotspot camps on the Greek islands provide the perfect storm for a COVID-19 outbreak, warns Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)/Doctors Without Borders in a statement released on 13th March. As the first COVID-19 case has been confirmed on Lesbos, elsewhere on the island, evacuation of the camps has become more urgent than ever.In some parts of Moria camp there is just one water tap for every 1,300 people and no soap available. Families of five or six have to sleep in spaces of no more than three square metres.
-There are 42,000 asylum seekers trapped on the five hotspots on the Greek islands, which only have the capacity to host 6,000 people in total. Among them are many patients with chronic diseases such as diabetes, who are extremely vulnerable to COVID-19.

-# Facing homelessness
-
-Here are some resources that look at the impact and articulation of care for those facing homelessness during the coronavirus emergency. Many workers in precarious conditions, freelance and zero hours contract worldwide are at severe risk of becoming homeless at the moment, due to the lack of income and inability of paying rent. While some countries are introducing some mitigating measures - for example in Italy, where the government temporarily suspended mortgage payments and reduced household bills (and is considering a suspension of rents too) - in many areas such measures are not in place and add a significant burden to those tenants already stretched for making ends meet, especially in urban areas without rent caps or tenants rights, where speculation on rents, gentrification and airbnb-fication are left unchecked. Moreover, as campuses close down, many students are facing a housing crisis.

While the casinos are deserted and thousands of hotel rooms are empty. But when the city needed space for a temporary homeless shelter, officials chose an outdoor parking lot.

+title: "Pirate Care: Practices"
+---
+
+> We live in a world where captains get arrested for saving people’s lives on the sea; where a person downloading scientific articles faces 35 years in jail; where people risk charges for providing safe pregnancy terminations to those who live in countries where abortion is illegal. Folks are getting in trouble for giving food to the poor, medicine to the sick, water to the thirsty, shelter to the homeless. And yet our heroines care and disobey. They are pirates.
+
+The exhibition Pirate Care is a survey of the increasingly present forms of activism at the intersection of “care” and “piracy”, which are trying to intervene in new and interesting ways in one of the most important challenges of our time: the “crisis of care” in its many interconnected dimensions.
+
+We live in a time in which care, as a political and collective capacity of societies to attend to the most fundamental needs of humans and their living environments, is becoming more difficult or criminalised. Against this state of affairs, a number of autonomous, bottom-up initiatives share a willingness to openly disobey laws, regulations and dominant social norms whenever these stand in the way of solidarity and life. Crucially, they politicise their disobedience to contest the status quo. That disobedience and that politicisation are what defines these practices as ‘pirate care’.
+
+The exhibition presents a survey of both contemporary and historical cases. It builds on the online Pirate Care Syllabus (https://syllabus.pirate.care), created with the aim of supporting collective learning from these initiatives. The Syllabus comes integrated with a library of all references mentioned in its sessions. It lives on the experimental publishing platform Sandpoints, initially developed for this project and designed to support processes of publishing collaborative writing.
+
+Pirate Care was first exhibited in the context of Rijeka European Capital of Culture 2020, produced by Drugo More. While in Rijeka we presented the disobedient initiatives documented in the Syllabus, here in Zagreb we are sharing a broader range of pirate care practices that we came across during our four-year study.
+
+Inevitably, there is no claim to comprehensiveness to our survey. Since our process of investigation is grounded in networks of activism in which we are also implicated, this is reflected in the geographical partiality and situatedness of the practices we were able to research.

-# Introduction
-
-
-The topic “Commoning care” emerged from a set of creative methods and collective "rituals" used to escape the capitalist hegemony that were experimented with in a context of collectivizing childcare and explore different pedagogies. "Commoning care" here is also broadly intended as a statement, to say that the only work that has to be done immediately is the one which aims to undo capitalism altogether. The first 4 sessions of this topic are therefore focused on the questions of life/work balance and unpaid labour, while the last two are related to the experience of creating a pirate kindergarten in Milan.
-
-Both “commoning” and “care” are concepts around which many theories (and practices) have emerged and grown in the last decades. Therefore, it is risky – and indeed it may sound confusing – to bring these terms together. At the same time however, this can also be a strategy to create a perspective, a viewpoint from which to navigate these concepts without making them abstract and, as a consequence, delivering them to capitalistic uses. Such reterritorialization happens frequently: one just has to think of terms such as "queer" or "participation", to name just a couple, which have been quickly appropriated by market investment strategies and state's practices of control on propriety. However, the battle over language is never settled: we always lose and take back concepts, inventing and reinventing meanings and perspectives through which a word can show its worlds.
-
-Thus, instead of trying to give a stable and yet imprecise definition of “Commoning Care”, this introduction start from some useful quotes to explore these terms and their possible meanings when conjoined:
-
-> “Care is everything that is done (rather than everything that 'we' do) to maintain, continue, and repair 'the world' so that all (rather than 'we') can live in it as well as possible. That world includes . . . all that we seek to interweave in a complex, life-sustaining web (modified from Tronto 1993, 103).” - Maria Puig de la Bellacasa
-
-> “To speak of the commons as if it were a natural resource is misleading at best and dangerous at worst – the commons is an activity and, if anything, it expresses relationships in society that are inseparable from relations to nature. It might be better to keep the word as a verb, an activity, rather than as a noun, a substantive.” - Peter Linebaugh
-
-Therefore:
-
-> “Being-in-common – that is, community – can no longer be thought of or felt as a community of humans alone; it must become multi-species community that includes all of those with whom our livelihoods are interdependent and interrelated.”- Katherine Gibson
-
-Let's talk a bit about the context now. In the last decades, the organization of social reproduction – the daily and generational reproductive labour occurring in households, schools, hospitals, communities, lands, etc. – has become a subject of inquiry and a central topic from the perspective of capital investments and the labour market: a battle-ground of privatization, regulation and power dynamics along the lines of gender, race, and class.
-
-Within a western perspective, the one I am working and thinking from, it has become evident that the crisis of the welfare system has resulted in many people being "left behind." One response has been a market-oriented “techno-solutionist” hope (Evgeny Morozov, 2013) that digital technologies will help society address the reorganization of care needs (i.e. through health and disease prevention apps). These technologies are mostly developed for individual connected users while they confer a special status to the technologisits involved in defining and solving societal problems. Another response has seen people turn to more common ways of organizing care themselves. Such is the case of the rising platform cooperativism movement; of the transnational collectives experimenting with “Instituting Otherwise” methods (BAK, 2016); and of practices of radical redistribution of income, time, space, and knowledge. These communities are positioning care within specific forms of situated, embodied practices tinkering with technologies. They are refusing the exploitation of the present labour conditions and expressing a transformative vision through commoning wealth and health. They are practicing a different conceptualization of value and values and, finally, they are rethinking assemblages and kinships from a non-human centric perspective.
-
-However, the practices of commoning care have been marginalized, criminalized, and restricted by governments around the world: from collective spaces evacuated through the strategic use of conservative bureaucracy, to the individual criminalization of participants in collective actions. In this sense, the framework of “Pirate Care” can provide a clear understanding of the link between the emerging practices of commoning care and the response of capital.
-
-Despite repression, from the perspective of common strategies to survive and create more livable lives, it is easy to see a renewed need and interest in autonomous practices of education throughout Europe. Indeed, these material experimentations are spreading, both because of a limited access to public services, as well as the necessity to rethink pedagogies as a battleground through which to maintain the possibility of livable futures open. We can look at these practices as the creation of collective tools through which to undo what we have been taught and to collectively rebuild awareness of our needs, while escaping “the hegemony of Capitalocentrism” (J. K. Gibson-Graham, 1996).
-
-The capacity to change perspective depends on a collective redefinition of value, based on our understanding of the asymmetries and differences that exist between us. Moreover, there is an urgent “ethical and political obligation” (Puig de la Bellacasa, 2017) of keeping together (and alive) complicated more-than-human assemblages.
-
-# Sessions in this topic
-
-The following sessions are therefore based on a workshopping practice that makes use of tools from radical play, creative and visual methods for social research and speculative interventions. Sessions come from readings and reflections made within the communities of [Macao](http://macaomilano.org) and [Soprasotto](http://soprasottomilano.it/), which I am part of. The first community is a cultural center organized by art workers since 2012 in Milan (there are several articles online, however, I wrote [this](http://hcommons.org/deposits/item/hc:19821/) about it). The second commuinty is a pirate nest organized by parents since 2013 in Milan ([here](http://commonfare.net/it/stories/soprasotto-asilo-autogestito?story_locale=en) a short description), last two sessionin are specifically dedicated to this experiment.
-
-These workshops are straightforward, although able to foster discussions around complex topics (such as social reproduction, the refusal of work, the normativity of social organization). Their aim is to collectively visualize and understand in playful ways:
-- the present relations of power and their asymmetries:  and ;
-- the capacity of our decisions to determine common futures and the power dynamics at play when decisions are organized and displayed:  and ;
-- and finally, the potential that different ways of “commoning care” are able to unfold  and .

-# An Emerging Practice Model for Anti-Oppressive Pedagogy Embracing Cultural Diversity
-
-(**Note:** ***This is a kernel of a topic on "Creating Community Safety from Racialized Policing Using Contextual Fluidity". The sessions other than  are yet to be written.***)
-
-
-This topic will lay the groundwork for creating community safety using contextual fluidity[^1] amid the increasing criminalization of care, cultures of violence, and on-going genocide. It will generate discussion centering on margins and inspire those who resist being excluded, oppressed, and live under the constant threat of violence. Tatum states that a subordinate group has to focus on survival in a situation of unequal power[^2]. Borrowing from black abolition feminist scholar Andrea Ritchie, movements against police violence should promote “…nurturing values, visions, and practices”.[^3] Freire’s underlying message of conscientization in *Pedagogy of the Oppressed* is that it is everyone’s responsibility to respond to the situation positively and thoughtfully.[^4]

-# An invitation to join the collective note-taking
-
-This is a collective note-taking effort to document and learn from the organising of solidarity in response to the urgency of care precipitated by the pandemic of Coronavirus (SARS-Cov-2). The first round of notes, thoughts, protocols and propositions, or sessions as we categorise them here in the syllabus, reflects, largely, the experience of organising amidst outbreak and lockdown in Italy. In keeping with the spirit of this syllabus, we focus on those practices that foreground care, labour, technology and disobedience. They are meant to offer both practical guidance and inspiration to organising and living with the outbreak elsewhere. But are also meant to help articulate demands to shift our societies from capitalism, productivism, patriarchy and racism to societies centred on collectivising the shared task of regenerating the interdependent well-being of humans and nature.
-
-Unlike the remaining topics in this Pirate Care Syllabus, this one is closely following developments that are unfolding. It is thus partial and provisional to the Italian, Croatian and British contexts from which we write. However, we encourage others to contribute to building a larger body of notes documenting solidarity in the time of quarantine. Please get in touch with us and propose practices you would like to document, you can reach us through the following channels:

-# Flatten the curve, grow the care
-
-
-
-"Flatten the Curve" has become both a guiding principle for public health responses and a rallying call encouraging people to actively pursue phyisical distancing. The spread of the virus should be slowed down so that around 20% of those who hospitalisation and around 5% of those who require intensive care remain at any moment low enough in number so that hospitals have enough of staff and equipment to provide everyone with the best chances of recovery and survival. The spikes caused by the exponential spread of the virus and medical cases have cripled the healthcare systems in Wuhan and across Italy, and this is what we want to avoid. Hence, "Flatten the Curve".
-
-However, we want to claim that "Flatten the Curve" is not enough. Not only do we want to keep the spread of the contagion within the limits of health care system's capacity, but rather that the social crisis resulting from the response to and the aftermath of the pandemic will require a re-focusing of societies on modalities and capacities of care. Something that we think is already pre-figured in the practices and forms of organisation documented here. Hence, "Grow the Care".
-
-## A common health care crisis
-
-The Coronavirus outbreak has demonstrated the weaknesses of the public health system that has far too few ICU beds and ventilator and respirators to deal with the sudden spike in infections, thus contributing to increased mortality from the outbreak. In Italy, the system is so overstretched that the ERs are not able to timely attend to acute conditions such as heart attacks and many surgeries have been postponed, leading to many additional preventable deaths. Time-critical procedures as pregnancy terminations are being postoponed too.
-
-Medical staff at hospitals is working under conditions of war-like duress - under-equipped, overworked and overexposed - leading to a growing number of them getting infected and having to go into isolation and requiring assistance. Service workers - particularly, cleaners, carers, domestic workers, deliverers, workers in grocery stores, just as many others who can't work from home - are exposed to the contagion.
-
-The vulnerability of many at-risk groups is contributing to the crisis. First, there is the elderly and those living with other health conditions. Then there are those who are undocumented migrants and can be refused medical care. Those who don't have medical care coverage and face a crippling debt if they need testing or end up in hospitals. Those who don't live in a home of their own: homeless, refugees, elderly in retirement homes, women in safe houses or foreign students on campuses. But also many who cannot avoid to work: cleaners, workers in grocery stores, food industry and transport, carers - and industrial workers, who are asked to continue as nothing is happening.
-
-## A combined crisis of care, work and environment
-
-Over the last few decades, capitalist development has privatised, defunded and undercut the public mission of the healthcare systems across the world. It has surrendered to market forces many other institutional and non-institutional aspects of social reproduction, such as cleaning, cooking, child care, elderly care, and education. These sectors depend on a large army of labour, frequently consisting of women and migrants, who work in precarious conditions of low wages, limited benefits, zero-hour or on-demand contracts, informal arrangements and illegality. As the societal tasks of care have been subsumed to capitalist accumulation, the forces of labour have been fragmented and individualised, excising their own reproduction from the networks of mutual support and social action. Isolation is already a prevalent condition.
-
-The last four decades have seen a two-to three-fold increase in zoonotic leaps of viruses from animals to humans. The zoonotic leaps such as Coronavirus, which seems to have originated from bats (and is found also in other animals), are a consequence of the incursion of industrial agriculture and farming into natural habitats and of growing inclusion of wild species into capitalist food commodity chains that have created conditions for such spillovers. Degraded ecosystems, with their complexity reduced to benefit industrial agriculture, have a lower capacity to halt the spread of epidemics. This will only worsen as planetary ecological destabilisation is expected to spawn new pathogens at an increasing rate. Recent studies are also highlighting the correlation between the severity of the impact of coronavirus and the rates of air pollution in affected areas.
-
-For the majority of people on this planet, who are deemed expendible from the point of view of capital, to die from epidemics or even common viruses has been the norm for a very long time. The pre-existing conditions of neo-colonial poverty, poor health, malnutrition and degraded habitat can weaponise viruses and epidemics. It is believed that 60% of deaths from the Spanish Flue was in Western Bengal. The worst is, however, that many of these diseases have known cures and vaccines. In the UK, for instance, the life expectancy between the richest and the poorest kids is today of [18 years](https://www.ft.com/content/35003f82-565d-11ea-abe5-8e03987b7b20?fbclid=IwAR3bBaG61uScXBsqFIvK8cub7AhbBKiJMVCoSM2DwOGe5z9Ee18AI2funvg). What Coronavirus is introducing is a class-less variable in the disposition of care provisions, making it impossible, for the moment, to sort out the damned from those who can be saved along the usual axes of discrimination. This condition will not last for long.
-
-## A crisis of domesticity
-
-Due to the advised physical distancing and the cancellation of many public activities, many precarious workers are now facing weeks and months without work and income. Compensation for self-isolation does not exist in many places. Staying at home in deepening poverty is a horrific prospect. They will be joined by armies of laid-off workers.
-
-Nurseries, kindergartens and schools are closed, creating an impossible situation for many parents who are required to work. In many cases, the elderly, who are most at-risk from the pandemic, are forced to stay with kids, creating an emotionally difficult situation in homes and families.
-
-But there are also who suffer mentally ill, disabled and suffering severe conditions for whom remaining isolated to home is not feasible. And then there are those who face domestic violence for whom the lockdown equals continued abuse. The violence will only grow as neither adults nor kids can pursue their interests outside of home nor can socialise. The isolation without a radical rethink of how we organise self-determinative work, free time and conviviality will start to leave its psychological toll.
-
-## Organizing for an alternative future
-
-The pandemic is likely to push an already unstable global economy into a tailspin, triggering measures to restore capitalist accumulation that will, judging from the past, might bring about further reductions to the public care system, dismantling of labour protections, discouraging civic life and deepening inequality and poverty. The fallout might set back efforts to counter and adapt to climate change that might lead to comparable disasters. Against these prospects, the loss of organising capacity to effectively make political claims while the outbreak is ongoing might prove crippling.
-
-We are living through a time of deep transformation that will impact our collective future beyond the emergency of containing the epidemic. It is both a time of acceleration, a time of uncertainty expressed in statistical predictions, a time of suspension. The shape of what is to come is not written in stone, but it will greatly depend upon our joint reflection and capacity to organise political actions. There will be an urge to simply "go back to normal, quickly". And that tendency or hope, however understandable on the psychological level, will need to be collectively addressed, and also healed.
-
-But we also live in a time where we have been provided with a peek into an alternative future.
-
-
-
-The challenge today and in the next period of time is and will be how to keep the surge in solidarity provoked by this multiple crisis - that is, as a force motivating people to come together and make demands for systemic changes in public health and for the environment, for moving beyond the capitalist addiction to growth, speed and consumption. This last point is what has been in the back of our mind as, like many others, we began to sieve and collect some of the stories and information gathered here. Experiences and examples linked here are taken from different places in the world, in the spirit of internationalism and translocalism, which might be one of the lessons we re-learn from the virus.

-When Cédric Herrou was handcuffed and taken to jail by a few police officers, the news worldwide portrayed him as a criminal. One didn't even have to ask why but assumed that helping illegal crossings of migrants from Italy to France was terribly wrong. The mere fact that he helped an *illegal* migrant move justified the ways the repressive apparatus of the state treated him - publicly handcuffed and subjected to further punitive procedures. Accused of smuggling and taken into four-month custody, Herrou was brought to a trial. The trial was turned against Herrou both in the courtroom and publicly as helping the illegal crossings of refugees was strongly condemned. However, a few months later, the principle of *fraternity* enshrined in the French constitution lead to Herrou's [release](https://www.reuters.com/article/us-europe-migrants-france-court/french-farmer-who-helped-migrants-showed-fraternity-court-rules-idUSKBN1JW25S), as it conferred the freedom to provide humanitarian assistance and help others regardless whether they were legally or illegally present on the territory.

-A recently published report  discusses prosecution of more than 40 individuals who dared to assist migrants and refugees in crossing the sea or land borders irregularly. It covers case studies that speak to the rigidity of migration management and regulation of civic disobedience-in-solidarity with migrants and refugees. A recent [case of a war veteran Dragan Umičević](https://www.portalnovosti.com/dragan-umicevic-kazna-meni-je-poruka-drugima) of [Are You Syrious](https://euractiv.jutarnji.hr/en/politics-and-society/migrations/humanitarian-ngos-under-assault-from-radicals-spurned-by-authorities/8078207/), who helped a group of refugees including six children freezing in winter at the Croatian-Serbian border, or [Scott Warren of No more deaths](https://www.thenewhumanitarian.org/news/2019/06/07/creeping-criminalisation-humanitarian-aid) in Arizona who helped two undocumented migrants along the US-Mexico border, or a volunteer and Syrian refugee [Sarah Mardini of Emergency Response Centre International](https://www.thenewhumanitarian.org/feature/2019/05/02/refugee-volunteer-prisoner-sarah-mardini-and-europe-s-hardening-line-migration), who was arrested for her humanitarian work in Moira camp, or a ship captain [Carola Rackete of Sea-Watch](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-p8_V40Wvk), who docked the migrant rescue ship in the port of Lampedusa without authorization, or a [mayor of Riace Domenico Lucano](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/oct/02/pro-refugee-italian-mayor-arrested-suspicion-aiding-illegal-migration-domenico-lucano-riace), who was arrested under accusation of aiding illegal immigrants - all those events speak strongly of clampdown on solidarity actions with migrants and refugees. These people and their organization, just as numerous others that stay invisible and hidden from public sight, have come under state prosecution instrumentalizing the rigid anti-smuggling legal provisions. Fekete notes that "The emergence of autonomous migrant and refugee solidarity movements and the lengths individuals were prepared to go to help were perceived by states as a threat to their control of borders."
-
-The border control and the *security obsession* as coined by Mattelart (2010) have been strongly inscribed in the current European, American and global migration regimes. They have been labelling migrants and refugees as threats and creating an industry *enemizing* them and those who identify and solidarize with them.
-
-Illegal or irregular crossings of migrants represent one of the most serious violations of entering foreign sovereign territory within the complex web of punitive technologies entailed in the migration management regimes. Both migrants who are perceived as bodies carrying the culture of criminality (cf. [Harvest of Empire](http://harvestofempiremovie.com/)) and helpers, whether they help crossings for the intrinsic reasons or for the extrinsic reason of money, are represented as criminals. The current migration regime treats them all as smugglers and criminals alike so that the logical and only next step is incarceration and punishment. That representation is perpetual due to its productive spread - it is not only centralized in state actors but among the public too. We sure can notice the spill-over effects within societies, where the fear of danger and unsafety stoked by intense propaganda we have been exposed to in our everyday lives (remember Viktor Orbán or Matteo Salvini's political agendas) mobilized defence mechanisms. Drawing on the Foucauldian approach, the *governmentality* of criminalization of migration (i.e. crimmigration) and criminalization of solidarity has permeated different spaces.
-
-Criminalization of solidarity through humanitarian assistance represents violation of the international humanitarian law and international human rights law as well as a violation of constitutions and legislations of liberal democracies. It is also deeply counter-human and counter-social. Yet, the production of fear and danger has been extremely pervasive, thus deteriorating social trust and deepening the harm perpetuated against refugees and migrants.
-
-Such political tendencies call for anti-hegemonic counter-actions that can create openings for envisioning possibilities of creating solidarity and radicalizing both political spaces and our responses. The sessions that follow offer a pedagogy that invites people and groups who are willing to act locally in this transnationally connected political space to reconsider how to tackle the complexities of criminalization of solidarity. The pedagogical ideas here are calling for a critical shift and a politicization of these troubled realities.

-# Eine Einladung, beim gemeinsamen Notieren mitzumachen
-
-Dies ist ein kollektives Unterfangen. Es ist darauf ausgerichtet - angesichts der Dringlichkeit, die Care-Praktiken und -Strategien durch die Coronavirus-Pandemie (SARS-Cov-2) gewinnen - das Organisieren von Solidarität zu dokumentieren und aus verschiedenen Ansätzen zu lernen. Die erste Runde von Notizen, Gedanken, Protokollen, Vorschlägen und Sessions, die hier publiziert ist, spiegelt schwerpunktmässig die Erfahrungen in Italien während der vergangenen Wochen wieder. Im Einklang mit dem Fokus des Pirate-Care-Syllabus konzentrieren wir uns auf jene Praktiken, die Pflege, Arbeit, Technologie und ziviles Ungehorsam in den Vordergrund stellen. Die hier gesammelten Notizen bestehen aus praktischen Vorschlägen und einordnenden Reflektionen. Sie möchten als Inspiration für die Organisation und das Leben mit dem Ausbruch über Italien hinaus wirken. Des Weiteren sollen sie dabei unterstützen, dringende Forderungen zu formulieren: Die Verschiebung von Gesellschaften, die von Kapitalismus, Produktivismus, Patriarchat und Rassismus dominiert sind, hin zu Gesellschaften, in denen die gemeinsame Aufgabe im Mittelpunkt steht, das voneinander abhängige Wohlergehen von Mensch und Natur neu zu gestalten.
-
-Im Gegensatz zu den übrigen Themen dieses Pirate-Care-Syllabus verfolgt dieses Thema laufende, im Werden begriffene, Entwicklungen mit. Die versammelten Inhalte sind daher partiell und provisorisch – entstanden aus den italienischen, kroatischen und britischen Kontexten, in denen wir schreiben. Wir ermutigen jedoch andere, zum Aufbau eines größeren Korpus von Notizen beizutragen, die die Solidarität in der Zeit der Quarantäne dokumentieren. Bitte setzt euch mit uns in Verbindung und schlagt Praktiken und Strategien vor, die ihr gerne dokumentieren möchtet. Ihr könnt uns über die folgenden Kanäle erreichen:

-# Flatten the curve, grow the care
-
-
-
-Die "Abflachung der Kurve" ist sowohl zu einem Leitprinzip für die Strategien des öffentlichen Gesundheitswesens als auch zu einem Aufruf geworden, der die Menschen zu aktiver Distanzierung auffordert. Die Ausbreitung des Virus sollte verlangsamt werden, so dass etwa 20% derer, die in ein Krankenhaus eingeliefert werden, und etwa 5% derer, die eine Intensivpflege benötigen, zu jedem Zeitpunkt zahlenmäßig niedrig genug bleiben, damit die Krankenhäuser über genügend Personal und Ausrüstung verfügen, um allen die besten Heilungs- und Überlebenschancen zu bieten. Die durch die exponentielle Ausbreitung des Virus haben die Gesundheitssysteme in Wuhan und in ganz Italien lahmgelegt, und das soll vermieden werden. Daher: "Flacht die Kurve ab".
-
-Wir sagen jedoch, dass "die Kurve abflachen" nicht ausreicht. Wir möchten nicht nur, dass die Ausbreitung der Seuche innerhalb der Kapazitätsgrenzen des Gesundheitssystems gehalten werden kann, sondern wir fordern auch, dass die soziale Krise, die aus der Reaktion auf die Pandemie und ihre Folgen resultiert, eine Neuausrichtung der Gesellschaften antreibt: Und zwar in Hinblick auf die Modalitäten und Kapazitäten von Care. Dies ist etwas, das unserer Meinung nach in den hier dokumentierten Praktiken und Organisationsformen bereits vorweggenommen ist. Daher: "Wachsende Pflege".
-
-
-## Eine allgemeine Krise im Gesundheitswesen
-
-Der Ausbruch des Coronavirus hat die Schwächen des öffentlichen Gesundheitssystems aufgezeigt – etwa den Bettenmangel auf Intensivstationen und fehlende Beatmungsgeräte und Ventilatoren, um mit dem plötzlichen Anstieg der Infektionen fertig zu werden. Dies trägt zu einer erhöhten Sterblichkeit bei. In Italien ist das System so überlastet, dass die Notaufnahmen nicht in der Lage sind, sich rechtzeitig um akute Erkrankungen wie Herzinfarkte zu kümmern, und viele Operationen wurden verschoben, was zu vielen zusätzlichen (prinzipiell vermeidbaren) Todesfällen geführt hat. Auch zeitkritische Eingriffe wie etwa Schwangerschaftsabbrüche werden zur Zeit verschoben
-
-Das medizinische Personal in den Krankenhäusern arbeitet unter kriegsähnlichen Bedingungen – unterausgerüstet, überlastet und überexponiert – was dazu führt, dass sich eine wachsende Zahl von Gesundheitspersonal infiziert wird, isoliert werden muss und Hilfe benötigt. Mitarbeiter im Dienstleistungssektor – insbesondere Reinigungskräfte, Pflegende, Hausangestellte, Zustelle_innen, Mitarbeitende in Lebensmittelgeschäften – wie auch viele andere, die nicht von zu Hause arbeiten können – sind der Gefahr einer Ansteckung ausgesetzt.
-
-Die Verwundbarkeit vieler Risikogruppen trägt zur Krise bei. Da sind zunächst die älteren Menschen und diejenigen, die gesundheitlichen Problemen leben. Dann gibt es diejenigen, die als Migrant_innen ohne Papiere leben und denen die medizinische Versorgung verweigert werden kann (und verweigert wird). Diejenigen, die keine medizinische Versorgung haben und sich verschulden müssen, wenn sie Tests benötigen oder in Krankenhäusern landen. Diejenigen, die nicht in einem eigenen Haus leben: Obdachlose, Flüchtlinge, ältere Menschen in Altersheimen, Frauen in Frauenhäusern oder ausländische Studierende auf dem Campus. Aber auch viele, die es nicht vermeiden können, zu arbeiten: Reinigungskräfte, Arbeiter_innen in Lebensmittelgeschäften, in der Lebensmittelindustrie und im Transportwesen, Pfleger_innen – und Industriearbeiter_innen, die gezwungen werden, weiterzumachen, als sei nichts passiert.
-
-## Eine kombinierte Krise von Pflege, Arbeit und Umwelt
-
-In den letzten Jahrzehnten wurde im Zuge der kapitalistische Entwicklung die öffentliche Aufgabe von Gesundheitssystemen weltweit privatisiert, de-finanziert und untergraben. Ausserdem wurden zahlreiche institutionelle und nicht-institutionelle Aspekte der sozialen Reproduktion, wie Putzen, Kochen, Kinderbetreuung, Altenpflege und Bildung, den Kräften des Marktes unterworfen und überlassen. Diese Sektoren sind von einem großen Heer von Arbeitskräften abhängig, das häufig aus Frauen und Migrant_innen besteht, die unter prekären Bedingungen arbeiten: d.h. niedrige Löhne, begrenzte Leistungen, Null-Stunden- oder Abrufverträge, informelle Vereinbarungen und Illegalität. Da die gesellschaftlichen Aufgaben der Fürsorge wurden der kapitalistischen Akkumulation untergeordnet wurden, sind diese Arbeitskräfte zunehmend fragmentiert und individualisiert worden. Ihre eigene Reproduktion wurde aus den Netzwerken der gegenseitigen Unterstützung und des sozialen Handelns gleichsam herausgeschnitten. Isolation ist hier bereits ein vorherrschender Zustand.
-
-In den letzten vier Jahrzehnten haben die zoonotischen Sprünge der Viren vom Tier auf den Menschen um das Zwei- bis Dreifache zugenommen. Wie das Coronavirus, das von Fledermäusen zu stammen scheint (und auch bei anderen Tieren vorkommt), sind sie eine Folge des Eindringens der industriellen Landwirtschaft und des Ackerbaus in natürliche Lebensräume und der zunehmenden Einbeziehung wilder Arten in kapitalistische Lebensmittel-Warenketten. Denn degradierte Ökosysteme, deren Komplexität zugunsten der industriellen Landwirtschaft reduziert wurde, haben eine geringere Kapazität, die Ausbreitung von Epidemien zu stoppen. Dieser Effekt wird sich verstärken: Es ist zu erwarten, dass die planetarische ökologische Destabilisierung mit zunehmender Geschwindigkeit neue Krankheitserreger hervorbringen wird. Jüngste Studien unterstreichen auch den Zusammenhang zwischen der Schwere der Auswirkungen des Coronavirus und der Rate der Luftverschmutzung in den betroffenen Gebieten.
-
-Für die Mehrheit der Menschen auf diesem Planeten, die aus Sicht des Kapitals als entbehrlich gelten, ist es seit langem die Norm, an Epidemien oder sogar an ganz gewöhnlichen Viren zu sterben. Die bereits bestehenden Bedingungen neokolonialer Armut, schlechter Gesundheit, Unterernährung und degradierter Lebensräume können Viren und Epidemien zu einer Waffe werden lassen. Man geht davon aus, dass 60 % der Todesfälle durch die Spanische Grippe in Westbengalen zu verzeichnen waren. Das Schlimmste ist jedoch, dass für viele dieser Krankheiten Heilmittel und Impfstoffe bekannt sind. Im Vereinigten Königreich beispielsweise liegt die Differenz in der Lebenserwartung zwischen den am reichsten und am ärmsten Geborenen heute bei [18 Jahren](https://www.ft.com/content/35003f82-565d-11ea-abe5-8e03987b7b20). Was das Coronavirus momentan (zumindest in Europa) bewirkt, ist eine klassenlose Variable in der Disposition der Pflegeleistungen: Im Moment ist es unmöglich, die Kranken – wer stirbt und wer nicht – entlang der üblichen Achsen der Diskriminierung zu trennen. Dieser Zustand wird nicht lange andauern.
-
-## Eine Krise der Häuslichkeit
-
-Aufgrund der empfohlenen physischen Distanzierung und der Absage vieler öffentlicher Aktivitäten bleiben viele prekäre Arbeitnehmer_innen wochen- und monatelang ohne Arbeit. Eine Entschädigung für die Selbstisolierung gibt es vielerorts nicht. Zu Hause zu bleiben und dabei immer ärmer zu werden, ist eine schreckliche Perspektive. Zu diesen Menschen werden sich zahlreiche entlassene Arbeiter_innen gesellen.
-
-Kinderkrippen, Kindergärten und Schulen werden geschlossen, was für viele Eltern, die arbeiten müssen, eine unmögliche Situation schafft. In vielen Fällen sind ältere Menschen, die am stärksten von der Pandemie bedroht sind, gezwungen, bei den Kindern zu bleiben. Dies trägt zur ohnehin schon emotional schwierigen Situation in Hausgemeinschaften und Familien bei.
-
-Aber es gibt auch psychisch Kranke, Behinderte und Schwerstkranke, für die es nicht möglich ist, isoliert zu Hause zu bleiben. Und dann gibt es diejenigen, die mit häuslicher Gewalt konfrontiert sind, für die der Rückzug in die eigenen vier Wände gleichbedeutend mit unbegrenztem Missbrauch ist. Die Gewalt wird zunehmen, da weder Erwachsene noch Kinder ihre Interessen außerhalb des Hauses verfolgen oder sich sozialisieren können. In der Isolation zu verharren ohne dabei radikal umzudenken (etwa in Hinblick auf die Organisation von selbstbestimmter Arbeit, Freizeit und Geselligkeit), wird einen psychischen und körperlichen Tribut fordern.
-
-## Organisieren für eine alternative Zukunft
-
-Es ist zu erwarten, dass die Pandemie die bereits instabile Weltwirtschaft ins Trudeln bringen wird. Dadurch werden wohl Maßnahmen zur Wiederherstellung der kapitalistischen Akkumulation ausgelöst. Diese könnten zu weiteren Kürzungen des öffentlichen Versorgungssystems, zum Abbau des Arbeitsschutzes, zur Schwächung von Zivilgesellschaften und zur Vertiefung von Ungleichheit und Armut führen. Auch könnten die Bemühungen zur Bekämpfung des Klimawandels und zur Anpassung an ihn, die zu vergleichbaren Katastrophen führen könnten, zurückgeworfen werden. Angesichts dieser Aussichten könnte sich ein Verlust der Organisationskapazität zur wirksamen Durchsetzung alternativer politischer Forderungen während des Ausbruchs als lähmend erweisen.
-
-Wir durchleben eine Zeit tiefgreifender Veränderungen, die unsere gemeinsame Zukunft bis weit über die akute Notlage hinaus beeinflussen werden. Wir befinden uns in einer Periode der Beschleunigung, der Unsicherheit (die sich etwa auch in statistischen Vorhersagen ausdrückt), wir befinden uns aber auch in einer Zeit der temporären „Aufhebung“, des Innehaltens, der Verzögerung. Die Gestalt dessen, was kommen wird, ist nicht in Stein gemeißelt: Sie hängt von unseren gemeinsamen Überlegungen und von unserer Fähigkeit ab, politische Aktionen zu organisieren und ihnen Aus- und Nachdruck zu verleihen. Während und nach der Krise wird der Drang erwachen, einfach "zur Normalität zurückzukehren, und zwar schnell". Und diese Tendenz, diese Hoffnung – so verständlich sie auf psychologischer und wirtschaftlicher Ebene ist – muss kollektiv verhandelt, diskutiert und gemeinsam „geheilt“ werden. Denn wir leben auch in einer Zeit, die uns einen Blick in eine alternative Zukunft gewährt.
-
-
-
-Die Herausforderung heute und in der nächsten Zeit ist es und wird es sein, wie man den durch diese Mehrfachkrise hervorgerufenen Solidaritätsschub aufrechterhalten kann ¬– als eine Kraft, die die Menschen dazu motiviert, gemeinschaftlich Forderungen nach systemischen Veränderungen im Bereich des öffentlichen Gesundheitswesens und der Umwelt zu stellen, um die kapitalistische, Drang nach Wachstum, Geschwindigkeit und Konsum zu überwinden. Dieser letzte Punkt ist das, was uns im Hinterkopf geblieben ist, als wir, wie viele andere, begannen, einige der hier gesammelten Geschichten und Informationen zu filtern und zu sammeln. Die Erfahrungen und Beispiele, die hier miteinander verbunden sind, stammen aus verschiedenen Orten der Welt. Sie spiegeln den Geist des Internationalismus und Translokalismus – sind dies die Lehren, die wir aus dem Virus ziehen können?

-# Una invitación para unirse a la toma de notas colectiva
-
-Este es un esfuerzo colectivo para documentar y aprender de la organización de la solidaridad en respuesta a la urgencia de cuidados que la pandemia del coronavirus (SARS-Cov-2) ha precipitado. La primera ronda de notas, pensamientos, protocolos y proposiciones–o sesiones tal como las categorizamos aquí en el programa–refleja la experiencia de organizarse en medio de brotes y encierros en Italia. De acuerdo con el espíritu de este programa, nos centramos en aquellas prácticas que destacan el cuidado, el trabajo, la tecnología y la desobediencia. Su objetivo es ofrecer orientación práctica e inspiración para organizar y vivir la crisis en otros lugares. Al mismo tiempo, este programa o plan de estudios intenta ayudar en la articulación de demandas para alejar nuestras sociedades del capitalismo, el productivismo, el patriarcado y el racismo, y mutar hacia sociedades centradas en la colectivización de la tarea compartida que significa regenerar el bienestar interdependiente de los humanos y la naturaleza.
-
-A diferencia de los temas restantes en estos Pirate Care Estudios, éste sigue de cerca los eventos que se están desarrollando. Es, por lo tanto, provisional y parcial a los contextos italiano, croata y británico desde los que escribimos. Sin embargo, alentamos a otras personas a contribuir a la construcción de un conjunto más amplio de notas que documenten la solidaridad en el momento de la cuarentena.

-# Aplanar la curva, aumentar el cuidado
-
-
-
-"Aplanar la curva" se ha convertido tanto en el principio rector de las respuestas de salud pública como en el llamado al distanciamiento físico entre personas. En efecto: la propagación del virus debe reducirse para que el número de personas hospitalizadas y de quienes requieren cuidados intensivos esté en proporción con los recursos de salud disponibles, aumentando así las posibilidades de recuperación y supervivencia. El gran número de casos que algunos países han tenido ha paralizado sus sistemas de salud, y esto es lo que queremos evitar. Hay, por lo tanto, que "aplanar la curva."
-
-Sin embargo, aplanar la curva no es suficiente. No sólo queremos mantener la propagación del contagio dentro de los límites de la capacidad del sistema de atención médica. La crisis social resultante de la respuesta y las secuelas de la pandemia requerirá un nuevo enfoque de las sociedades en las modalidades y capacidades de cuidado. Se trata, por lo tanto, no sólo de aplanar la curva, pero de "aumentar el cuidado."
-
-## Una crisis de salud común
-
-El brote de coronavirus ha demostrado las debilidades de los sistemas de salud pública, que cuentan con muy pocas camas de UCI y respiradores para lidiar con el gran y repentino número de infecciones, contribuyendo así a una mayor tasa de mortalidad por el brote. En Italia, por ejemplo, el sistema está tan sobrecargado que las salas de emergencias no pueden atender oportunamente las afecciones agudas (como los ataques cardíacos) y se han pospuesto muchas cirugías–lo que lleva a muchas muertes evitables adicionales. Los procedimientos de tiempo crítico, como las interrupciones de embarazos, también se posponen.
-
-El personal médico de los hospitales en algunos países está trabajando en condiciones de guerra: poco equipado, sobrecargado de trabajo y sobreexpuesto. Esto que lleva a que un número creciente de estas personas se infecten, y necesiten a su vez aislamiento y asistencia. Trabajadore/as de servicios, en particular de limpieza, cuidadore/as, doméstico/as, repartidore/as, de supermercados, al igual que muchas otras personas que no pueden trabajar desde casa, se exponen al contagio.
-
-La vulnerabilidad de muchos grupos en riesgo contribuye a la crisis: las personas mayores y quienes viven con preexistentes condiciones de salud; los inmigrantes sin documentos y a quienes se les puede negar la atención médica; las personas que no tienen cobertura de atención médica y enfrentan deudas paralizantes si necesitan exámenes o terminan en hospitales (dependiendo del contexto). Las personas que no viven en una casa propia también son especialmente vulnerables: personas sin hogar, en situación de asilo, personas mayores en hogares, mujeres en casas de seguridad o estudiantes extranjero/as en residencias. A estas personas se le unen quienes no pueden dejar de trabajar: personas que trabajan en limpieza, supermercados, en la industria alimentaria y de transporte, cuidadores y trabajadores industriales a quienes se les pide que continúen, ya que no pasa nada.
-
-## Una crisis combinada de cuidado, trabajo y medio ambiente.
-
-En las últimas décadas, el desarrollo capitalista ha privatizado, desfinanciado y socavado la misión pública de los sistemas de salud alrededor del mundo. Se han entregado a los intereses de mercado muchos otros aspectos institucionales y no institucionales de la reproducción social como la limpieza, la cocina, el cuidado infantil, el cuidado de personas mayores y la educación. Estos sectores dependen de un gran ejército de mano de obra, frecuentemente compuesto por mujeres y migrantes que trabajan en condiciones precarias de bajos salarios, beneficios limitados, contratos de cero horas o bajo demanda, acuerdos informales e ilegalidad. A medida que las tareas sociales de cuidado se han subordinado a la acumulación capitalista, las fuerzas del trabajo se han fragmentado e individualizado, eliminando su propia reproducción de las redes de apoyo mutuo y acción social. El aislamiento es ya una condición frecuente.
-
-Las últimas cuatro décadas han visto un aumento de dos a tres veces en los contagios zoonóticos de virus de animales a humanos. Los saltos zoonóticos, como en el caso del coronavirus (que parece haberse originado en murciélagos y se encuentra también en otros animales) son consecuencia de prácticas disruptivas en hábitats naturales–como la agricultura industrial y la creciente inclusión de especies silvestres en las cadenas de productos alimenticios capitalistas que han creado las condiciones para tales efectos. Los ecosistemas degradados, con su complejidad reducida para beneficiar la agricultura industrial, tienen una menor capacidad para detener la propagación de epidemias. Esto sólo empeorará en la medida que la creciente desestabilización ecológica planetaria genere nuevos patógenos. Estudios recientes también destacan la correlación entre la gravedad del impacto del coronavirus y las tasas de contaminación del aire en las áreas afectadas.
-
-Para la mayoría de las personas en este planeta–un gasto desde el punto de vista del capital–morir por epidemias o incluso virus comunes ha sido la norma durante mucho tiempo. Las condiciones preexistentes de pobreza neocolonial, mala salud, desnutrición y hábitat degradado pueden potenciar virus y epidemias. Aunque en lugares con apropiados sistemas de salud pública el virus pareciera no hacer distinción de clase, las diferencias están apareciendo rápidamente en países con salud privatizada y diezmada.
-
-## Una crisis de domesticidad
-
-Debido al distanciamiento físico recomendado y la cancelación de muchas actividades públicas, trabajadore/as precario/as se enfrentan ahora a semanas y meses sin trabajo e ingresos. La compensación por el autoaislamiento no existe en muchos lugares. Quedarse en casa para profundizar la pobreza es una perspectiva horrible, y a estas personas se les unirán la gran cantidad de nuevo/as se unirán ejércitos de personas despedido/as.
-
-Las guarderías, jardines de infancia y escuelas están cerradas, creando una situación imposible para muchos padres que deben trabajar. En muchos casos, los ancianos, que están en mayor riesgo por la pandemia, se ven obligados a quedarse con los niños, creando una situación difícil emocional y sanitariamente en los hogares y las familias.
-
-También hay quienes sufren enfermedades mentales, discapacitado/as o que padecen condiciones severas, para quienes permanecer en aislamiento en el hogar no es factible. Y luego están aquello/as que enfrentan violencia doméstica y para quienes el encierro equivale a abuso continuo. La violencia sólo crecerá ya que ni los adultos ni los niños pueden perseguir sus intereses fuera del hogar ni socializar. El aislamiento sin un replanteamiento radical de cómo organizamos el trabajo, el tiempo libre y la convivencia, comenzarán a dejar su costo psicológico.
-
-## Organizando un futuro alternativo
-
-Es probable que la pandemia empuje a la ya inestable economía global a caer en picada, desencadenando medidas para restaurar la acumulación capitalista que, a juzgar por el pasado, podría generar nuevas reducciones en el sistema de atención pública, desmantelar las protecciones laborales, desalentar la vida cívica y profundizar desigualdad y pobreza. Las consecuencias podrían retrasar los esfuerzos para contrarrestar y adaptarse al cambio climático que podría conducir a desastres comparables. Frente a estas perspectivas, la pérdida de la capacidad de organización para hacer reclamos políticos de manera efectiva mientras el brote está en curso podría resultar paralizante.
-
-Estamos viviendo un momento de profunda transformación que impactará nuestro futuro colectivo más allá de la emergencia de contener la epidemia. Es a la vez un tiempo de aceleración, un tiempo de incertidumbre expresado en predicciones estadísticas, un tiempo de suspensión. La forma de lo que está por venir no está solidificada y dependerá en gran medida de nuestra reflexión conjunta y de nuestra capacidad para organizar acciones políticas. Habrá una necesidad de simplemente "volver a la normalidad, rápidamente." Aunque comprensible a nivel psicológico, esa tendencia (o esperanza) deberá abordarse colectivamente–y también sanarse.
-
-Pero también vivimos en una época en la que se nos ha proporcionado un vistazo a un futuro alternativo.
-El desafío hoy, y del próximo período, es y será acerca de cómo mantener el aumento de la solidaridad provocado por esta crisis múltiple. Es decir, cómo mantener la fuerza que motiva a las personas a unirse y exigir cambios sistémicos en la salud pública y medio ambiente, yendo más allá de las tendencias capitalistas de crecimiento, velocidad y consumo. Este último punto es lo que nos empuja a tamizar y recopilar algunas de las historias e información reunidas aquí. Las experiencias y ejemplos vinculados aquí se toman de diferentes lugares del mundo, en el espíritu del internacionalismo y el translocalismo, que podría ser una de las lecciones que reaprendemos del virus.

-# Introduction
-Pirate Care is an emergent phenomenon where a growing number of initiatives related to health and care find themselves inhabiting grey regulatory zones, which pop-up more and more often. At the same time, a lot of projects born within the maker community, intersecting with hacker culture, are using open source and digital technologies to co-create solutions in situations where public or private institutions are idle.
-
-These initiatives share the vision that technology can be redirected toward new purposes and grounded to sustain different narratives, in which citizen perceive themselves as “contributors” rather than “consumers” of technology and science. Actively countering the deterministic trends of both these domains, the makers’ approach enhances the relation with the world through concrete material engagement, by challenging normative views of knowledge production and expertise.
-
-Hackers and Makers ideally embrace an egalitarian vision of making, but very often, in practice, we see that at the level of access and opportunities such values lack a concrete application, because making always takes place in spaces and times influenced by institutional, societal, and individual histories.
-
-This contribution to the Pirate Care Syllabus is a tentative effort to start a process of sharing resources and practices to recognise, on one side, how science and technology have been playing a leading role in the toolbox of the powerful, by limiting the self-empowerment of historically marginalized communities and/or reinforcing existing values and biased ideologies. On the other side, this tpoic hopes to spread a set of resources and tools within the maker community, to help it avoid the same mistakes other disciplines have done in the past and to bring awareness on the different opportunities unfolding with a more diverse approach.
-
-From an activist perspective, the word “decolonising” is becoming more and more useful for naming and understanding broader implications of phenomena that have a long history in shaping the social, much beyond physical borders. As [Beatrice Martini](https://beatricemartini.it/blog/decolonizing-technology-reading-list/) highlights in the introduction of her reading list:
-
-> ”One example of this kind of ‘borderless colonial’ phenomenon comes from digital technology. While many technical innovations are asserted as universally positive and beneficial to communities worldwide, beyond borders and across cultures, a closer analysis of who holds the power, who has agency, and whose interests are promoted, can often reveal a very different picture.” <
-
-Therefore we need to pay deeper attention to what constitutes a "community" and how the unequal distribution of agency impacts the way learning and making can take shape across the borders of gender, race, and class.
-
-In recent years, the science and tech community has been taking a self-reflexive look at the role these fields of expertise played historically and presently in society, to prevent perpetuating mistakes and address patterns of exclusion. In the same way, this syllabus topic is an invitation for the maker/hacker community to embed this perspective in our practices because even science, which is first of all a method, but soon became an industry and a dispositive of power, has proved to be harmful, if not guided by ethical principles of equity.
-
-As makers and hackers, developing a perspective look at our places and practices means being aware that people can simultaneously experience privilege and oppression depending on the context. The image below shows the framework by the **Intersectionality** concept which was coined by lawyer and civil rights advocate Kimberlé W. Crenshaw in 1989, and rooted in the research and activism of women of color, extending back to Sojourner Truth’s [“Ain’t I a Woman”](https://www.nps.gov/articles/sojourner-truth.htm) speech in 1851. It reveals how the most pressing social justice issues can't be productively addressed through traditional frameworks or by explaining these problems as the product of just one axis of exclusion. We need to take a deeper look at the interconnected factors that influence power, privilege and oppression and the intersectional approach helps focus on systems and contexts to be decolonised.
-
-In the makerspaces, hacking and fablab context, this means considering who is impacted (or not) by the work that we do, whose voices are missing, questioning assumptions made in activities, while we engage the community or design our educational programs.
-
-Below, you will find a series of publications, links and media to explore different points of view addressing the issue.

-This topic has (so far) three sessions, where I proposed 3 possible activities to inspire action:

-# The Hologram: An open-source, peer-to-peer, viral social technology for dehabituating humans from capitalism
-
-The following is a short course to prepare us to become holograms, which is to say to develop and practice The Hologram as a method of organized social care and collective liberation. In a world where caring is criminalized when not performed by the proper authorities, while racial capitalism ensures that everyone is a little sick, we need pirate practices that do not comply with the for-profit, nationalist, carceral healthcare systems . This peer to peer practice offers a structured set of instructions for how to distribute the labour of care and to reveal that everyone is a healer and can be healed. We can produce health with stuff we have, hidden in plain sight. It is a pirate practice in that it is proactive and disobedient, it is a formalization of what people already know what to do-- it just gives us permission and helps us remember how . It does so with a wish to create a network of healthy and cooperative people who can use their collective power to demolish capitalism and to build a new world.
-This curriculum is the residue of a four-part Hologram workshop designed and delivered once per week by Cassie Thornton and Lita Wallis online with a group of 28 participants from around the world in April 2020 during the Covid-19 lockdown. These texts are currently used in all of our ongoing Hologram training courses, and anyone who is interested in the project or course is welcome to read and work with these materials.
-The objective of the past, present and future Hologram courses is to create a laboratory to experiment with building social and communicative skills and practices that would be useful to starting and maintaining a Hologram. The group practices specific verbal and somatic communication skills and experiments with vulnerability, trust and cooperation, all contextualized in a theoretical framework. Throughout each course, all participants attempt to use the personal pronoun “we” when describing their own or another person’s experiences, thoughts or feelings.
-
-
-## New patterns for a post-capitalist now
-
-At its broadest and most ambitious scale The Hologram is intended as an open-source, peer-to-peer, viral social technology for dehabituating humans from capitalism. Capitalism is not only an economic system, it's a cultural and social system as well, which deeply influences how we relate to one another, how we interact, how we imagine ourselves and one another, even how we talk and feel. The Hologram relies on us disentangling ourselves from capitalism’s influence, and that of white supremacy, colonialism, (cis hetero) patriarchy and other systems of domination, and it also helps us in this untangling.
-For this reason, in addition to the social practices involved in forming groups of four and doing the work of “social holography,” The Hologram is also a delivery mechanism for ideas about how we can reinvent our world by developing new daily habits that incorporate radical re-interpretations of these four themes: Trust, wishes, time and patterns.
-The following is an abbreviated set of materials from the April workshop to help readers reflect on and transform their habits and approaches to these important themes. This is meant to be group work, but we are alone right now, so we hope that these ideas and practices may inspire or contribute to how we already imagine and organize our care labor. Each unit includes a brief series of reflections as well as several exercises we can do to prepare for practicing the Hologram model in the future.
-
-## A note on terminology
-
-The Hologram refers to the project as a whole, whereas a Hologram (capitalized but not italicized) names a group of four people, made up of the hologram (not capitalized) who receives the care of a triangle of three people. This wording is intentionally ambiguous as it aims to sensitize us to the fluid boundaries between us.

-# Introduction
-
-Since the rise of industrial capitalism (petrochemical, agricultural, and pharmaceutical) in the mid to late 1800s, synthetic molecules have been produced and manufactured at an alarming and unrelenting pace and now pervade every aspect of the planet. These synthetic molecules are synonymously known as persistent organic pollutants (POPs), endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs), and xenoestrogens because of their estrogen-mimicking and estrogen-displacing properties. From the discovery of PCBs in the Mariana’s Trench, the deepest parts of the Earth, to whole populations of birds, frogs, and fish failing to produce viable offspring, to the trans-generational cancers inherited from grandmothers who were prescribed diethylstilbestrol during pregnancy to prevent miscarriage, this microscopic moment on the scale of geologic time is already (and continues) to be marked by unprecedented levels of environmental toxicity, drastic planetary changes and collective species mutations.
-
-Writer Rob Nixon has called this phenomenon of the Anthropocene a kind of  that is everywhere yet difficult to perceive. In contrast to blatant catastrophic events such as the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, the effects of environmental toxicity are gradual and therefore imperceptible in a way similar to climate change. The effects of these synthetic molecules on the human body have been linked to neurological (autism, lower IQ, mood disorders) and physiological effects (diabetes, obesity, early-onset puberty, worldwide sperm count drop), as well as various reproductive cancers. These molecules drift, seep, wander, flow, invade wherever they please, carried by both air and water in invisible and unimaginable ways. Furthermore, the presence of these molecules are unequally distributed, reflecting pre-existing lines of inequality and more often affecting black, indigenous, and marginalized communities.
-
-So what does it mean if our bodies are industrially modulated, that our sex, gender, and reproduction are not as fixed and recalcitrant as we were told they would be? How do we situate our bodies, identities, and fears in the midst of toxic and alienating environments? Most importantly, how do we discard old notions of the normative body so that we can breed new subjectivities that include ALL ways of being? Despite many lobbying and activist efforts to change legislation on their production, molecules continue to queer, risk, and harm both humans and non-humans. At the same time, we have the State policing of non-normative bodies on the basis of oppressive gender constructs, from violent intersex surgeries to the denial of hormonal healthcare to trans individuals. Therefore in the spirit of Pirate Care and the formation of micro-resistances, we must take back sovereignty of our bodies from patriarchal and hegemonic forces, and refigure strategies for living, acting, and caring in a permanently polluted world. Intersecting between body and gender politics and environmental toxicity, this topic and its sessions call on participants to undo the trap of eco-heteronormativity, reassess toxicity without rhetorics of purity, neutralize fears, decolonize somatic fictions, demystify hormones, and ultimately rewrite a future that undoubtedly embodies queerness.

-# Approach
-
-Housing today constitutes a new terrain for expansion of financial capital and financial speculations. These changes have brought about an increase in the prices of housing and land and, as a consquence, an unprecedented rise in household debt. Due to speculation, the number of empty flats waiting to be sold only when the price is right has been growing. In this situation housing has been increasingly changing function from someone's home to a place for investment, savings, or collateral for someone's pension. Some of the consequences of such a system have been a growing housing precarity, an army of evicted and homeless, and entire generations unable to attain home of their own. In our opinion, as long as housing continues to be treated as an asset these problems will prevail.
-
-We believe that the housing question can be understood only in dialectical relation between economy and grassroots struggles. It is about unlearning the mainstream cynical narratives and relearning housing from the perspective of the struggles. We want to connect knowledge around housing to power relations. Our aim is to create grounds for a collective learning process about housing that could lead to better understanding how to take constructive action and bring about necessary change towards a universal access to housing.
-
-# Sessions
-
-In this topic, sessions have been organized around two focuses: critical perspective on certain issues related to housing and examples of organizing. The issues that we have chosen are just some of the building blocks that make a complex story about housing.
-
-We have organized this topic in eight sessions:
-
-- 
-- 
-- 
-- 
-- 
-- 
-- 
-- 
-
-The sessions are organized around a basic question: Is the housing issue an issue of collective care or a means of profit? It is clear for us. Housing is a form of collective care that has to be fought for through mutual aid and in constant disobedience to neoliberal privatization tendencies. We hope that we have managed to make that argument and that those of you who will be working with this topic will feel the same.

-# Un invito a collaborare a queste prime note collettive
-
-Questo è un documento comune che prova a mettere in fila alcuni primi spunti intorno a ciò che stiamo imparando dall'orgainzzazione della solidarietà che si è mossa in risposta all'urgenza di cura data dalla pandemia di CORONAVIRUS (SARS-Cov-2). Un primo giro di note, riflessioni, protocolli e indicazioni, o – come li organizziamo all'interno del syllabus – di "sessioni" che riflettono in larga parte ciò che è avvenuto in Italia dall'inizio dei focolai di contagio e le prime misure di contenimento. Mandenendo la specificità del syllabus di Pirate Care, ci siamo concentrati/e sulle pratiche che mettono al centro la cura, il lavoro, la tecnologia e l'attivismo politico. Le diverse sessioni che compongono il syllabus sono pensate per offrire delle guide pratiche ma anche come ispirazione per l'organizzazione di pratiche di solidarietà in altre aree e contesti che presto verranno investiti da nuovi focolai di contagio e, di conseguenza, da misure di contenimento. Hanno anche lo scopo di aiutare ad articolare le istanze che si muovono verso una transizione radicale della nostra società: dal capitalismo, il produttivismo, il patriarcato e il razzismo, verso forme societarie incentrate sulla collettivizzazione del lavoro di rigenerazione del benessere, sempre interdipendente, tra umani e natura.
-
-A differenza degli argomenti che compongono il syllabus di Pirate Care, "CoronaNotes" segue da vicino gli sviluppi che si stanno producendo. Di conseguenza, è un oggetto parziale, provvisorio e in crescita, a partire dai contesti italiano, croato e britannico da cui ci troviamo a scrivere. Per questo, vogliamo incoraggiare chiunque a contribuire alla costruzione di un più ampio corpus di note che possano aiutare a documentare la solidarietà al tempo della quarantena.
-Se hai voglia di proporre e raccontare pratiche di mutualismo e solidarietà, mettiti in contatto con noi:

-# Abbassare la curva, alzare la cura
-
-
-
-"Flatten the Curve" (appiattire la curva) è diventato un principio guida per la salute pubblica, come anche un appello che incoraggia le persone ad adottare attivamente comportamenti di distanza necessari al conntenimento del contagio. La diffusione del virus, infatti, dovrebbe essere rallentata in modo tale che le percentuali di posti letto negli ospedali – circa il 20% di coloro che sono ricoverati in ospedale e il 5% di coloro che necessitano di cure intensive – rimangano abbastanza basse da consentire alle strutture sanitarie pubbliche di disporre di personale medico e di attrezzature sufficienti a fornire le migliori possibilità di recupero e sopravvivenza per tutti/e. I picchi causati dalla diffusione esponenziale del virus, anche tra il personale ospedaliero, hanno danneggiato i sistemi sanitari a Wuhan e in tutta Italia: questo è ciò che vogliamo evitare, quindi, "Flatten the Curve".
-
-Tuttavia, vogliamo ribadire che "Flatten the Curve" non è sufficiente. Non solo vogliamo mantenere la diffusione del contagio entro i limiti delle capacità del sistema sanitario, ma vogliamo anche che la crisi sociale derivante la risposta e le conseguenze della pandemia in corso, sia capace di lottare nella direzione di una ri-orgainzzazione della società sulle sue capacità di prendersi cura. Qualcosa che pensiamo sia già insito nelle pratiche e nelle forme di organizzazione documentate qui dentro. Per abbassare la curva è per noi necessario "alzare la cura".

-## Una crisi sanitaria collettiva
-
-L'epidemia di Coronavirus ha dimostrato le debolezze del un sistema sanitario pubblico che, provato da anni di privatizzazioni, ha attualmente troppi pochi posti letto in terapia intensiva, ventilatori e respiratori, per far fronte all'improvviso picco di infezioni. Una situazione drammatica che sta producendo un'aumento nella mortalità da Coronavirus dallo scoppio dell'epidemia. In Italia, il sistema è così in crisi che molti/e dottori/e denunciano l'impossiilità di occuparsi tempestivamente anche di altre condizioni di salute gravi come gli infarti e interventi chirurgici urgenti, portando all'aumento di decessi aggiuntivi e prevenibili. Anche procedure come l'interruzione volontaria di gravidanza, estremamente critiche in termini di tempo, sono posticipate.
-
-Il personale medico degli ospedali sta lavorando in condizioni di coercizione simili a quelle di una guerra: è poco equipaggiato, oberato di lavoro, non protetto e sovraesposto. Questa situazione sta portando a un numero crescente di persone infettate all'interno del personale medico e ospedaliero. Gli/le addetti/e all'assistenza – in particolare addetti/e alle pulizie, badanti, domestici/he, addetti/e alle consegne, lavoratori/trici nei negozi di alimentari, così come molti/e altri/e che non possono lavorare da casa - sono tutte figure lavorative estremamente esposte al contagio.
-
-La vulnerabilità di molti gruppi a rischio sta contribuendo alla crisi. Innanzitutto, ci sono gli/le anziani/e e coloro che vivono con patologie di salute preesistenti. I/le migranti/e senza documenti a cui può essere rifiutata l'assistenza medica. Coloro che non hanno una copertura sanitaria e che devono affrontare un debito paralizzante laddove avessero bisogno di ricorrere a tamponi o ospedalizzazione. Infine, coloro che non vivono in una casa propria: senzatetto, rifugiati/e, anziani/e nelle case di riposo, donne in case protette e studenti/e stranieri/e nei campus.
-Ma anche molti/e che non possono evitare di lavorare, come lavoratori/e nei negozi di alimentari, personale dell'industria alimentare e dei trasporti, badanti e, infine, lavoratori/e industriali a cui viene chiesto di continuare a far finta di nulla.
-
-## Una crisi congiunta di cura, lavoro e ambiente
-
-Negli ultimi decenni, lo sviluppo capitalista ha privatizzato, saccheggiato e ridotto il ruolo pubblico dei sistemi sanitari in tutto il mondo. Il forte processo di privatizzazioni ha coptato nel mercato anche molti altri aspetti istituzionali e non della riproduzione sociale, come la pulizia, la cucina, la cura dei bambini, l'assistenza agli anziani e l'istruzione. Questi settori dipendono da un esercito di manodopera, composto spesso da donne e migranti, che lavorano in condizioni precarie e con salari infimi, tutele ridotte, contratti a cottimo o a chiamata, accordi informali e illegalità. Poiché questi servizi sociali di cura sono stati fortemente privatizzati e sfruttati, i/le lavoratori/trici che lo compongono sono stati frammentati e individualizzati, eliminando anche la loro stessa riproduzione all'interno di reti di mutuo supporto e di azione sociale. L'isolamento è già una condizione prevalente.
-
-Inoltre, negli ultimi quattro decenni si è quasi triplicato il fenomeno del "salto di specie" di virus tra animali e umani. La zoonosi, di cui quella che ha prodotto il Coronavirus sembra aver origine nei pipistrelli (ma si ritrova anche in altre specie), è la conseguenza dell'occupazione selvaggia, da parte di industria agroalimentare e agricoltura, di habitat naturali. Come anche della crescente inclusione di specie selvatiche nelle catene alimentari capitaliste, fattore che ha creato le condizioni ideali per tali "salti di specie". Gli ecosistemi degradati, con la loro complessità ridotta in funzione dell'agricoltura industriale, hanno una capacità molto inferiore di arrestare la diffusione delle epidemie. Inoltre, questo sarà un fenomeno in crescita, siccome si prevede che la destabilizzazione ecologica planetaria attuale genererà nuovi agenti patogeni a ritmo crescente. AAlcuni studi recenti, inoltre, stanno evidenziando la correlazione tra la gravità dell'impatto del coronavirus e i tassi di inquinamento dell'aria delle aree colpite.
-
-Per la maggior parte delle persone su questo pianeta, quelle ritenute sacrificabili dal punto di vista del mercato, morire per epidemie o persino per virus comuni è la norma da molto tempo. Le condizioni preesistenti di povertà neo-coloniale, di cattiva salute, di malnutrizione e di habitat degradati, possono aumentare lo sviluppo di virus ed epidemie. Si ritiene, che il 60% delle morti dovute alla canna fumaria spagnola siano avvenute nel Bengala occidentale. Tuttavia, il peggio è che molte di queste malattie hanno cure e vaccini applicabili. Nel Regno Unito, ad esempio, la differente aspettativa di vita tra bambini ricchi e poveri attualmente si attesta intorno ai [18 anni](https://www.ft.com/content/35003f82-565d-11ea-abe5-8e03987b7b20). Ciò che il Coronavirus sta introducendo è una variabile senza classi nell'accesso alle disposizioni sanitarie, rendendo per il momento impossibile dividere i "dannati" da coloro che possono essere salvati lungo i soliti assi della discriminazione economica e razziale. Questa condizione, però, non durerà a lungo.
-
-## Una crisi della domesticità
-
-A causa della distanza sociale consigliata e della cancellazione di molte attività pubbliche, molti lavoratori e lavoratrici precari/e stanno affrontando settimane e mesi senza lavoro né reddito. Una forma di compensazione economica al blocco delle attività è una misura che non si sta verificando nella maggioranza dei paesi. Stare a casa, e in povertà, è una prospettiva devastante. A queste persone, si uniranno poi gli eserciti di lavoratori e lavoratrici licenziati/e a causa della crisi economica causata dal Coronavirus.
-
-Inoltre, asili nido, scuole materne, scuole e università sono chiuse, creando una situazione impossibile per molti genitori a cui è chiesto di continuare a lavorare. In molti casi gli/le anziani/e, ovvero i soggetti più a rischio in questa pandemia, sono costretti/e a stare con i/le bambini/e, creando una situazione emotivamente difficile all'interno di case e famiglie.
-
-Ma ci sono anche persone che soffrono di disturbi mentali, persone disabili o che soffrono di gravi condizioni per le quali non è possibile rimanere isolati in casa. Inoltre, ci sono tutte quelle persone per le quali il confinamento nelle case equivale a continui abusi e a un'impennata di violenza domestica senza precedenti. Di conseguenza, l'isolamento senza un ripensamento radicale sulle forme organnizzative del lavoro, del tempo libero e della convivialità, presenterà presto il suo conto alla nostra stabilità psichica.
-
-## Organizzare alternative
-
-La pandemia di Coronnavirus con molta probabilità spingerà una già instabile economia globale a una svolta, innescando misure per ripristinare l'accumulazione finanziaria che, a giudicare dal passato, potrebbero portare a ulteriori riduzioni del sistema di assistenza pubblica, allo smantellamento delle tutele del lavoro, a una stretta della vita sociale e, dunque, a un'accelerazione delle disuguaglianze e della povertà. La crisi potrebbe rallentare gli sforzi fatti per contrastare il cambiamento climatico, un rallentamento che potrebbe facilmente portare a nuove catastrofi di simili natura. Dall'altra parte, contro questa prospettiva, è importante riaffermare la nostra capacità organizzativa nel lottare per misure politiche necessarie che, in questo momento di eccezione, stanno risultando evidenti ai più. Farlo adesso per non rischiare di paralizzarsi poi.
-
-Ci sembra vivere un periodo di profonda trasformazione, che avrà un impatto sul nostro futuro ben oltre la gestione dell'emergenza dell'epidemia in corso. Un tempo di incertezze espresso in previsioni statistiche: un tempo di sospensione. La forma di ciò che verrà non è prevedibil né già scritta, ma dipenderà anche dalla nostra capacità di articolare una riflessione comune e di organizzare azioni politiche "eccezionali". Infatti, ci sarà un bisogno di "tornare alla normalità" rapidamente, una tendenza o speranza che, per quanto comprensibile sul piano psicologico, dovrà essere messa in discussione collettivamente, curata e, infine, guarita.
-
-Ma questo è anche e soprattutto il tempo di forti accelerazioni, di possiilità di alternative e immaginari di futuro.
-
-
-
-A nostro avviso, la sfida di oggi, e del prossimo periodo, è capire come mantenere quest'impennata di solidarietà provocata dalla crisi - ovvero, come usare la forza collettiva che si è prodotta, per fare richieste di cambiamenti sistemici, dalla salute pubblica all'ambiente, oltre la dipendenza capitalista e il suo modello unico di crescita, velocità e consumo. Questo è ciò a cui stiamo pensando, come molti/e altri/e, da quando abbiamo cominciato a raccogliere alcune delle storie e delle informazioni qui riportate. E' importante per noi sottolineare come queste esperienze e queste pratiche arrivano da diversi luoghi del mondo, nello spirito dell'internazionalismo e del translocalismo, che potrebbe essere una delle ulteriori lezioni che il virus ci sta mostrando.

-# Introduction
-
-This Introduction gives an overview of the main questions and concerns voiced by the expression ‘pirate care’, which also the gathering principle for bringing together the different knowledges, techniques and tools shared in this collective syllabus.
-
-Pirate Care primarily considers the assumption that we live in a time in which care, understood as a political and collective capacity of society, is becoming increasingly defunded, discouraged and criminalised. Neoliberal policies have for the last two decades re-organised the basic care provisions that were previously considered cornerstones of democratic life - healthcare, housing, access to knowledge, right to asylum, freedom of mobility, social benefits, etc. - turning them into tools for surveilling, excluding and punishing the most vulnerable. The name Pirate Care refers to those initiatives that have emerged in opposition to such political climate by self-organising technologically-enabled care & solidarity networks.
-
-# On the Concept of Pirate Care
-
-Punitive neoliberalism (Davies, 2016)[^5] has been repurposing, rather than dismantling, welfare state provisions such as healthcare, income support, housing and education (Cooper, 2017: 314)[^3]. This mutation is reintroducing 'poor laws' of a colonial flavour, deepening the lines of discrimination between citizens and non-citizens (Mitropoulos, 2012: 27)[^13], and reframing the family unit as the sole bearer of responsibility for dependants.
-
-Against this background of institutionalised *'negligence'* (Harney & Moten, 2013: 31)[^12], a growing wave of mobilizations around care can be witnessed across a number of diverse examples: the recent Docs Not Cops campaign in the UK, refusing to carry out documents checks on migrant patients; migrant-rescue boats (such as those operated by Sea-Watch) that defy the criminalization of NGOs active in the Mediterranean; and the growing resistance to homelessness via the reappropriation of houses left empty by speculators (like PAH in Spain); the defiance of legislation making homelessness illegal (such as Hungary's reform of October 2018) or municipal decrees criminalizing helping out in public space (e.g. Food Not Bombs' volunteers arrested in 2017).
-
-On the other hand, we can see initiatives experimenting with care as collective political practices have to operate in the narrow grey zones left open between different technologies, institutions and laws in an age some fear is heading towards 'total bureaucratization' (Graeber, 2015: 30)[^8]. For instance, in Greece, where the bureaucratic measures imposed by the Troika decimated public services, a growing number of grassroots clinics set up by the Solidarity Movement have responded by providing medical attention to those without a private insurance. In Italy, groups of parents without recourse to public childcare are organizing their own pirate kindergartens (Soprasotto), reviving a feminist tradition first experimented with in the 1970s. In Spain, the feminist collective GynePunk developed a biolab toolkit for emergency gynaecological care, to allow all those excluded from the reproductive medical services - such as trans or queer women, drug users and sex workers - to perform basic checks on their own bodily fluids. Elsewhere, the collective Women on Waves delivers abortion pills from boats harboured in international waters - and more recently, via drones - to women in countries where this option is illegal.
-
-Thus pirate care, seen in the light of these processes - choosing illegality or existing in the grey areas of the law in order to organize solidarity - takes on a double meaning: Care as Piracy and Piracy as Care (Graziano, 2018)[^9].
-
-There is a need to revisit piracy and its philosophical implications - such as sharing, openness, decentralization, free access to knowledge and tools (Hall, 2016)[^11] - in the light of transformations in access to social goods brought about by digital networks. It is important to bring into focus the modes of intervention and political struggle that collectivise access to welfare provisions as acts of custodianship (Custodians.online, 2015)[^4] and commoning (Caffentzis & Federici, 2014)[^2]. As international networks of tinkerers and hackers are re-imagining their terrain of intervention, it becomes vital to experiment with a changed conceptual framework that speaks of the importance of the digital realm as a battlefield for the re-appropriation of the means not only of production, but increasingly, of social reproduction (Gutiérrez Aguilar et al., 2016)[^10]. More broadly, media representations of these dynamics - for example in experimental visual arts and cinema - are of key importance. Bringing the idea of pirate ethics into resonance with contemporary modes of care thus invites different ways of imagining a paradigm change, sometimes occupying tricky positions vis-à-vis the law and the status quo.
-
-The present moment requires a non-oppositional and nuanced approach to the mutual implications of care and technology (Mol et al., 2010: 14)[^14], stretching the perimeters of both. And so, while the seminal definition of care distilled by Joan Tronto and Berenice Fisher sees it as 'everything that we do to maintain, continue, and repair "our world" so that we can live in it as well as possible' (Tronto & Fisher, 1990: 40)[^7], contemporary feminist materialist scholars such as Maria Puig de La Bellacasa feel the need to modify these parameters to include 'relations [that] maintain and repair a world so that humans and non-humans can live in it as well as possible in a complex life-sustaining web' (Puig de La Bellacasa, 2017: 97)[^6]. It is in this spirit that we propose to examine how can we learn to compose (Stengers, 2015)[^15] answers to crises across a range of social domains, and alongside technologies and care practices.
-
-If confronting the unequal provision of care has long been a focus of progressive political organising, today’s hyper-interconnected and heavily exhausted world calls for radical approaches and tools for militant caring that, while might not provide readymade, one-size-fits-all answers, might allow us to prefigure different forms of co-inhabitation on this planet.
-Pirate Care is therefore interested in researching how to re-conceive care provisions across the tensions between autonomous organising and state institutions, between insurgent politics and commoning, and between holistic and scientific methods.

-# A Pirate Care Syllabus: why, how and with whom?
-
-A point of entry into the practices of pirate care for us is pedagogy - how these practices can be taught and studied with fellow pirate care practitioners, activist communities and beyond. To that end, we have started building a collaborative online syllabus on Pirate Care, covering each practice through a dedicated topic and a number of sessions that are concrete proposals for learning. Our vision that such a syllabus is technologically architected so that it can be easily adapted to different contexts and activated by interested groups elsewhere to collectively learn from it.
-
-This syllabus was inspired by the recent phenomenon of crowdsourced online syllabi generated within social justice movements (see below). In November 2019 we held a writing retreat to create the first version of a pirate care syllabus. We were hosted by the cultural centre [Drugo More](http://drugo-more.hr/en/) and supported via the Rijeka European Capital of Culture 2020 programme. The contributors were: Laura Benítez Valero, Emina Bužinkić, Rasmus Fleischer, Maddalena Fragnito, Valeria Graziano, Mary Maggic, Iva Marčetić, Marcell Mars, Tomislav Medak, Memory of the World, Power Makes Us Sick (PMS), Zoe Romano, Ivory Tuesday, Ana Vilenica.
-
-The different topics covered were written by practitioners active across a number of pressing issues, including: feminist approaches to reproductive healthcare; autonomous mental health support; trans health and well-being; free access to knowledge; housing struggles; collective childcare; the right to free mobility; migrant solidarity; community safety and anti-racist organising.
-
-We worked through group discussions; sharing of texts, materials and zines; presentations and workshops (including one on how to use gitlab and one on making baskets with pine needles); informal conversations, cooking for each other and walking together; playing karaoke and telepathy games; mutual feedback and friendship that carried on in the following months. New sessions are to be developed in Vienna with new collaborators during a residency at *studio das weisse haus* in cooperation with Kunsthalle Wien (March-April 2020).
-
-Work on syllabus is the extension of the [Memory of the World](https://library.memoryoftheworld.org/#/books/) shadow library and it espouses a certain technopolitics. We have developed an online publishing framework allowing collaborative writing, remixing and maintaining of the syllabus. We want the syllabus to be ready for easy preservation and come integrated with a well-maintained and catalogued collection of learning materials. To achieve this, our syllabus is built from plaintext documents that are written in a very simple and human-readable Markdown markup language, rendered into a static HTML website that doesn’t require a resource-intensive and easily breakable database system, and which keeps its files on a git version control system that allows collaborative writing and easy forking to create new versions. Such a syllabus can be then equally hosted on an internet server and used/shared offline from a USB stick.
-
-In summer 2020, the Pirate Care Syllabus will be activated through an exhibition (June) and a summer camp (September) as part of [Rijeka European Capital of Culture 2020](https://rijeka2020.eu) programme [Dopolavoro](https://rijeka2020.eu/en/program/dopolavoro/)(HR).

-# A Collective Statement
-
-These below are some shared statements that emerged from the collective process building the first version of the syllabus:
-
-* Ours is inevitably as a partial group, who came together in a supportive context, but who also faced a limited amount of time in co-presence. The contributors did not all know each other in advance and we do not form a stable community in the everyday. Our composition reflects the limits of the resources, relationships and awareness available to the organisers and the participants, as well as their commitments and stakes. We do not represent others nor share a unified political position; however we worked in such a way as to allow differences to remain generative and inform different topics and sessions in the syllabus, which were therefore not ‘unified’ in style.
-
-* Many issues are under-represented here. We started to write from our practices and from our situated knowledges and experiences. We hope that the syllabus might become a useful tool for others who might want to add new topics and perspectives to it in the future.
-
-* Language is a technology that needs to be decolonized. While we strive to write for accessibility, we are conscious of our educational and professional biases in using and modulating the way we use language. We are aware our common language was English and that this leaves out a number of other possibilities of communication. Whenever we felt this was important, we have included some references in other languages in the first version of the syllabus.
-
-* Writing for an online imagined reader is a challenging task because it does not allow to speak to specific persons and collectives immersed in actual circumstances. The question ‘who are we speaking with’ in the case of an online syllabus becomes very tricky to answer. Our approach has been to write as if to friends with whom we share key ethical and political values, but who might not be familiar yet with the specific crafts of care we practice or with the background data and knowledge that inform our actions.
-
-* The specificity and partiality of our composition is also reflected on the resources we reference. Most texts are from Western academe or activist spaces. We are committed to address this and learn from others in an ongoing efforts to diversify our sources and imaginaries.
-
-* We encourage everyone to freely use this syllabus to learn and organise processes of learning and to freely adapt, rewrite and expand it to reflect their own experience and serve their own pedagogies. We do not believe that the current licence system supports the world we want to live in, and that is a world in which knowledge is not privatized. However, the current system automatically copyrights our work, so we state here that all the original writing contained in this syllabus is under CC0 1.0 Universal (CC0 1.0), Public Domain Dedication, No Copyright. This means that: “The person who associated a work with this deed has dedicated the work to the public domain by waiving all of his or her rights to the work worldwide under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights, to the extent allowed by law. You can copy, modify, distribute and perform the work, even for commercial purposes, all without asking permission.” https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/
-
-* We encourage you to get in touch, to learn together, to organise, assist and act collectively. Lets mirror each other in solidarity.

-# On Making a Syllabus: technopolitical pedagogies
-
-On the technological and technopolitical side, developing tools and workflows for syllabus is an extension of our work on the [Memory of the World](https://memoryoftheworld.org/) shadow library. As amateur librarians we want to provide a universal public access to a meticulously maintained catalogue of digital texts, making available those texts that are behind paywalls or are not digitised yet. (It is worth noting that shadow libraries themselves are a pirate care practice: in contravention of the copyright regulation, they are assisting readers across a highly unequal world of education and research.) With the tools and workflows for the syllabus we want to offer social movements a technological framework and pedagogical process that helps them transform their shared analysis of present confrontations and reflections on past mobilisations into a learning material that can be used to help others learn from their knowledge.
-
-The technological framework that we are developing should allow other similar movements to avail themselves of these syllabi freely in their own learning processes. But also to adapt them to their own situation and the groups they work with. We want that the syllabi can be easily preserved, that they include digitised documents relevant to the actions of these social movements, and that they come integrated with well-maintained and catalogued collections of reading materials. That means that we don’t want that they go defunct once the dependencies for that Wordpress installation get broken, that the links to resources lead to file-not-found pages or that adapting them requires a painstaking copy&paste process.

-To address these concerns, we have made certain technological choices. A syllabus in our framework is built from plaintext documents that are written in a very simple and human-readable [Markdown markup language](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown), rendered into [a static HTML](https://www.getlektor.com/docs/what/) website that doesn’t require a resource-intensive and easily breakable database system, and which keeps its files on a [git version control system](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Version_control) that allows collaborative writing and easy forking to create new versions out of the existing syllabi. This makes it easy for a housing struggles initiative in Berlin to fork a syllabus which we have initially developed with a housing struggles initiative in London and adapt it to their own context and needs. Such a syllabus can be then equally hosted on an internet server and used/shared offline from a USB stick, while still preserving the internal links between the documents and the links to the texts in the accompanying searchable resource collection.

-The Pirate Care Syllabus is the first syllabus that we’ll bring to a completion. It has provided us both with an opportunity to work with the practitioners to document a range of pirate care practices and with a process to develop the technological framework.

-# Online Syllabi & Social Justice Movements
-
-In putting together a collective pirate care syllabus, open to new contributions and remixes, we were inspired, alongside many other popular education initiatives, by the recent phenomenon of hashtag syllabi (or, simply, #syllabi) connected with social justice movements, many of which are U.S. based and emerging from anti-racist struggles led by Black American and feminist activists.
-
-For an introduction to the phenomenon online syllabi, see the text: ‘Learning from the #Syllabus, Graziano, V., Mars, M. and Medak, T., in [State Machines: Reflections and Actions at the Edge of Digital Citizenship, Finance, and Art.](http://www.statemachines.eu/books/state-machines-reflections-and-actions-at-the-edge-of-digital-citizenship-finance-and-art/) Institute of Network Cultures, 2019.

-**#FERGUSONSYLLABUS**
-
-In August 2014, Michael Brown, an 18 year old boy living in Ferguson, Missouri, was shot to death by police officer Darren Wilson. Soon after this episode, as the civil protests denouncing police brutality and institutional racism begun to mount across the US, Dr. Marcia Chatelain, Associate Professor of History and African American Studies at Georgetown University, launched an online call urging other academics and teachers 'to devote the first day of class to hold a conversation about Ferguson' and 'to recommend texts, collaborate on conversation starters, and inspire dialogue about some aspect of the Ferguson crisis’ (Chatelain, 2014). Chatelain did so using the hashtag #FergusonSyllabus.

-**GAMING AND FEMINISM SYLLABUS**
-
-In August 2014, using the hashtag #gamergate to coordinate, groups of users on 4Chan, 8Chan, Twitter and Reddit instigated a misogynistic harassment campaign against game developers Zoë Quinn and Brianna Wu, media critic Anita Sarkeesian, as well as a number of other female and feminist game producers, journalists and critics. In the following weeks, The New Inquiry editors and contributors compiled a reading list and issued a call for suggestions.

-**TRUMP SYLLABI**
-
-In June 2015, Donald Trump announced his candidacy to become President of the United States. In the weeks after he became the presumptive Republican nominee, The Chronicle of Higher Education introduced the syllabus ‘Trump 101’ The Chronicle of Higher Education, 2016). Historians N.D.B Connolly and Keisha N. Blain found ‘Trump 101’ inadequate, 'a mock college syllabus… suffer[ing] from a number of egregious omissions and inaccuracies', failing to include 'contributions of scholars of color and address the critical subjects of Trump's racism, sexism, and xenophobia’. They assembled the ‘Trump Syllabus 2.0’.

-
-**#BLKWOMENSYLLABUS and #SAYHERNAMESYLLABUS**
-
-August 2015 also saw the trending of #BlkWomenSyllabus and #SayHerNameSyllabus on Twitter. The hashtag #BlkWomenSyllabus began when the historian Daina Ramey Berry, PhD tweeted on August 11 "given #CharnesiaCorley time 4 #blkwomensyllabus...". Charnesia Corley, a 21-year-old black female Texas resident, was pulled over at a Texaco gas station on June 21, 2015, accused of running a stop sign. After the deputy allegedly smelled marijuana coming from Corley's car, the woman was forced to remove her clothing, bend over and later was held face down to the ground as police officers probed her vagina while forcing her legs open. #SayHerName is an activist movement that strives to end brutality and anti-Black violence of Black women and girls by the police. The #SayHerName movement is designed to acknowledge the ways in which police brutality disproportionally affect Black women, including Black girls, queer Black women and trans Black women. #SayHerName, coined as a call to action in February 2015 by the Africa American Policy Forum, was created alongside #BlackLivesMatter, which was created as a response to the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the fatal shooting of Black teen, Trayvon Martin. #SayHerName gained attention following the death of Sandra Bland, a Black woman found dead in custody of police, in July 2015.

-
-In April 2016, members of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe established the Sacred Stone Camp and started the protest against The Dakota Access Pipeline, whose construction threatened the only water supply at the Standing Rock Reservation. The protest at the pipeline site became the largest gathering of native Americans over the past 100 years and earned significant international support for their ReZpect our Water campaign. As the struggle between protestors and armed forces unfolded, a group of indigenous scholars, activists and settler / PoC supporters, gathered under the name The NYC Stands for Standing Rock Committee, put together the #StandingRockSyllabus (NYC Stands for Standing Rock Committee, 2016).

-# Politicising piracy - making an unconditional demand
-
-Politicising Piracy topic has a double goal: to understand cultural piracy as a form of politics and to look at various practices of piracy from their specific socio-economic context of emergence, their technological underpinnings and their specific forms of political intervention.
-
-
-## Piracy in technological context
-
-There is a tendency to conceive of cultural and knowledge piracy as a phenomenon of recent date, largely in connection with the pirating of popular cultural or scholarly works, where such copying is done by means of an industrial-grade, home or personal copying device. However, the material practice of copying is of older date and is co-originary with the techniques and technologies of writing. A cultural expression is created from collective meaning-making, and thus writing and recording always has a pre-requisite reproduction and dissemination.
-
-Before the introduction of the printing press, the manuscripts were hand-copied, copying was laborious, and dissemination limited to precious few copies. With the introduction of movable type print, the books could be mass-produced, and copying and dissemination became easier. However, it was reserved for the few who had access to a printing press. Tape and optical media democratised that ability to copy, but dissemination remained difficult and costly. In the age of digital networks, the act of copying exploded as every action – downloading and opening a file, visiting a web page, editing a text – now entails copying from one part of a computer environment to another. And dissemination to a global network is always only a click away. The gist of this technological change is that before, very few actors had access to a copying device, whereas nowadays, copying devices are ubiquitous and networked, so the boundaries between writing, reading, copying, and sharing are more permeable.
-
-## Piracy in legal context
-
-However, the context of piracy is only partly defined by technologies. It is equally defined by law, which nowadays treats cultural works as a form of property and protects them by means of copyright. Copyright essentially regulates who has a right to copy, distribute, and access cultural works and under what terms. It parcels out collective meaning-making into individualised acts in order to create property titles and enable commodification of culture. Digitisation has both expanded the accessibility of cultural works beyond the limitations of physical items, allowing for an item to be copied and disseminated almost at zero marginal cost. It has also allowed for various forms of control of access and enforcement of copyright by technological means, including copy-protection measures and centralised streaming platforms. The attempts to stop sharing have largely proven inefficient, unless there is a high level of control over communication channels and draconian fines.
-
-In a telling example, in the 1984 Betamax case, the Universal Studios and the Walt Disney Company sued Sony for aiding copyright infringement with their Betamax video recorders. Sony won. The court’s decision in favour of fair use rather than copyright infringement laid the legal ground for home recording technology as the foundation of future analogue, and subsequently digital, content sharing. Five years later, Sony bought its first major Hollywood studio: Columbia Pictures. In 2004 Sony Music Entertainment merged with Bertelsmann Music Group to create Sony BMG. However, things changed as Sony became the content producer, and we entered the age of the discrete and the digital. Another five years later, in 2009, Sony BMG sued Joel Tenenbaum for downloading and then sharing 31 songs. The jury awarded US$675,000 to the music companies (US$22,000 per song).
-
-## Piracy in economic context
-
-More fundamentally still, piracy is a consequence of the social regulation of access to culture that is primarily rooted in the commodity-based system of cultural and knowledge production. The central instrument in that regulation over the last two centuries is the intellectual property. Copyright has a fundamentally economic function – to unambiguously establish individualised property in the products of creative labour. Once a legal title is unambiguously assigned, there is a person holding the property right with whose consent the contracting, commodification, and marketing of the work can proceed (Bently 1994). By the beginning of the twentieth century, copyright expanded to a number of other forms of creativity, transcending its primarily literary and scientific ambit and becoming part of the broader set of intellectual property rights that are fundamental to the functioning and positioning of capitalist enterprise. The industrialisation and corporatisation of the production of culture and knowledge thus brought about a decisive break from the Romantic model that singularized the authorship in the person of the author. The production of cultural commodities nowadays involves a number of creative inputs from both credited (but mostly unwaged) and uncredited (but mostly waged) contributors.
-
-However, copyright has facilitated the rise of rights-holding monopolies, who can neither provide a viable subsistence for the authors nor optimal access to the cultural works, as their mission is primarily defined by their business bottom line. The level of concentration in cultural and knowledge industries based on various forms of intellectual property rights is staggeringly high. The film industry is a US$136 billion industry dominated by six major studios. The recorded music industry is an almost US$20 billion industry dominated by only three major labels and four streaming platforms. The publishing industry is a US$120 billion industry where the leading ten companies earn more in revenues than the next forty largest publishing groups. Academic publishing in particular draws the state of play in stark relief. It is a US$10 billion industry dominated by five publishers and is financed up to 75 percent from library subscriptions (Larivière 2015).
-
-Furthermore, the commodified cultural and knowledge production is part and parcel of the global economy, where the most affluent economies also command the bulk of global science and research investment - and are able to use their intellectual property rights to maximise the value they can extract in the international division of labour. As already pointed out, the transition to digital networks has expanded the accessibility of cultural works beyond the distribution of physical items. Yet, in that expansion of access, the traditional institutional avenues of decommodified access to culture and knowledge. For instance, libraries and universities were drastically limited (American Library Association 2012) in providing free access to the works in digital form. The new digital cultural and knowledge industry, resulting from wedlock of centralised digital platforms and copyright monopolies, exploited territorial, institutional and economic divides to deny access to culture and knowledge to a mass of people across the world. This motivated them to create their own piratical systems of access. They thus collectively built the largest globally accessible repositories of culture and knowledge, doing for access in the digital world what public institutions were not allowed to do. At the same time, the industry ended up denying wages to a growing number of cultural and knowledge producers, who thus became doubly locked out: both the access to the works they themselves require access to so as to be able to produce their work and the wages needed to buy them. It thus comes as no surprise that, particularly in the domain of knowledge production, the authors are the most ardent advocates of universal open access and many accept the piracy as the next-best solution to the systemic denial they are subjected to.
-
-## Defining piracy, historically
-
-Piracy is an illicit act of copying and disseminating of works of culture and knowledge that is done in contravention of authority and/or law. When we speak today of illegal copying, we primarily mean an infringement of the legal rights of authors and publishers. There is an immediate assumption that the infringing practice of illegal copying and distribution falls under the domain of juridical sanction, that it is a matter of law. Yet if we look back at the history of copyright, the illegality of copying was a political matter long before it became a matter of law. Publisher's rights, author's rights, and mechanisms of reputation – the three elements that are fundamental to the present-day copyright system – all have their historical roots in the context of absolutism and early capitalism in the seventeenth and eighteenth century Europe. Before publishers and authors were given a temporary monopoly over the exploitation of their publications in the form of copyright, they were operating in a system where they were forced to obtain a privilege to print books from royal censors (Biagioli 2002). The transition from the privilege tied to the publisher to the privilege tied to the natural person of the author would unfold only later.
-
-In the United Kingdom this transition occurred as the guild of printers, Stationers' Company, failed to secure the extension of its printing monopoly and thus, in order to continue with its business, decided to advocate the introduction of the copyright for the authors instead. This resulted in the passing of the Copyright Act of 1709 (Rose 2010), also known as the Statute of Anne. The censoring authority and enterprising publishers now proceeded in lockstep to isolate the author as the central figure in the regulation of literary and scientific production. Not only did the author receive exclusive rights to the work, but the author was also made the identifiable subject of scrutiny, censorship and political sanction by the absolutist state. (Foucault 1980)
-
-Before the efforts to internationalise and harmonise intellectual property rights got underway with the 1883 Paris Convention on the Protection of Industrial Property and the ensuing 1886 Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works, the copyright was protected only as far as the jurisdiction of the copyright-granting national authority reached. Copyrighted works and patented inventions were reproduced freely in foreign markets, contributing to the edification of people and the economic development of societies. Over the next century, and then in particular with the post-socialist economic globalisation instituted in free trade agreements, the internationalisation and harmonisation of intellectual property rights started to codify and enforce the unequal exchange between unevenly developed economies and create legal justification for enclosure of intangible commons (Midnight Notes Collective 1990). Making a cultural expression an exclusive property of someone was always a dubious proposition. It might have been justified to secure autonomy from patronage. But as an instrument to secure livelihood in the generalised market relations, for most artists it proved a pitiful substitute for wages. And even worse, as a mechanism of protection of collective rights and larger social interests in the conditions of asymmetry of economic power, it failed miserably (Shiva 2001, Perleman 2001) continuing colonial and neocolonial histories of plunder by means of other forms of property (Bhandar 2018). As a mechanism of exclusion, it granted large intellectual property holders concentrated in the Global North a capacity to concentrate economic power to the detriment of both creators and recipients across the globe.
-
-Against this historical background, cultural and knowledge piracy as a practice assumes a different relief. It is not merely reducible to free-riding aimed at gaining access to something that is the property of others but can be viewed as a challenge to the property-form as a form of regulation of social production of culture and knowledge. In that way, it is not different in nature, but only in kind from the different challenges to how privatisation, property, and exclusion regulate social production of food, housing, health, or education. The rise of digital networks and expansion of accessibility has only exacerbated that eminently political tension. The neoliberal rollback of the socialised access to those services and goods, and the public institutions tasked with providing that access, have precipitated that tension into a full-blown crisis of social reproduction.
-
-## Piracy as a politics of prescription
-
-The sessions in this topic start from an understanding of piracy as a form of politics. Piracy calls for the abolition of property and commodification as regimes of regulating exclusion from the socially produced communal wealth. The implication of this demand is a radical socialisation of the system of cultural and knowledge production. Piracy is then neither appealing to a grey-zone nor asking for a conditional toleration of infringing practice, but is issuing an unconditional demand. That makes it eminently political. In this view, piracy can be understood as a form of politics of prescription (Hallward 2005) that re-articulates the terms of the debate and divides the political terrain in two - one can only be for or against the unconditional demand it makes. Such political intervention does not seek to open a "middle of the road" perspective but demands that everyone takes a side.
-
-In the face of an historic opening for a socialisation of the cultural and knowledge production, created, in this case, by the technological change, that necessity of taking sides becomes more apparent than it was before. Rather than expanding commodification, it is easy to imagine that the cultural and knowledge production become socialised in order to produce a common wealth. Yet this is also urgent in the face of Googles and Amazons of this world that are rising to aposition of new, platformed rentiers controlling the levers of cultural and knowledge production. Such situations of having to take sides are not unprecedented. For instance, the revolutionary events of the Paris Commune of 1871, its mere "working existence" (Marx 1871), a brief moment of "communal luxury" set in practice (Ross 2010), demanded that, in spite of any circumstances and reservations, one took a side. And such is our present moment too.
-
-# Sessions
-
-The sessions that follow are propositions to learn from various forms of cultural and knowledge piracy. Each of them approaches exemplary cases of cultural and knowledge piracy from three angles: a) what are the politicising interventions into the terrain of struggle over cultural and knowledge production and access that they make, b) what are the technological principles they base their strategy on, and c) what are the forms of legal persecution they face. In contrast to politics of counter-surveillance and leaking, which reserves counter-power only for a small number of savvy hacker figures, they look to piracy as a form of mass politics of redistribution and socialisation of production that everyone can practice.

-Power Makes Us Sick (PMS) is an international collective that researches and supports autonomous health from an insurrectionary, anti-authoritarian, and feminist perspective. PMS seeks to understand the ways that our mental, physical, and social health is impacted by imbalances in and abuses of power. We want to share the good news of folks coming together to overcome that while supporting our collective health and wellbeing. We understand that mobility, forced or otherwise, is an increasingly common aspect of life today. PMS is motivated to develop free tools of solidarity, resistance, and sabotage that are informed by a deep concern for planetary well-being.
-
-Our stated interest in autonomous health encompasses the mental, physical, and social aspects. Increasingly, though, we've been focused on collecting resources to support emotional health and wellbeing. There are a few practical reasons motivating this. Perhaps firstly, some of us suffer from mental health conditions that can make it difficult to function. Fighting back, bashing back, and generally creating visibility around this are actions that feel healing and so we do them.
-
-Second, we love responding to calls from social movements and vulnerable communities, and a big part of these have been requests for this kind of support or info. So we've been putting together as many resources as we can muster, redestributing them and remixing them, while having a lot of conversations with folks as we go. Some of our friends have said that the lack of resources simply points to the fact that 'emotional support' is basic and obvious. To that point, we wonder: if it is so obvious, then why isn't corresponding care happening more often and why do many of us fuck up so much? A lot of folks tend to be really insensitive to mental illness, write off certain types of people as being 'aggressive', 'lazy' or 'needy', conflate discomfort and harm, or maybe we all just aren't that great at actually building accountability and conflict resolution. We think that to lay more of that foundation together is vital and important.
-
-This brings us to the third major reason. While we were on this quest for info, guides, best practices, etc. around autonomous emotional support, we didn't really find whatwe were looking for. We were already really inspired by the Icarus Project and in touch with groups like Mutual Aid Disaster Relief, and others. There were various bits and pieces: essays focusing on burnout or de-escalation, some handouts given to us at actions about how to support each other through crisis, a lot of zines on accountability processes for sexual assault, some best practice guides from the non-profit sector that didn't really address the problems we saw. So we wanted to compile a guide based on our own experiences from doing this work, informed by our own approach, to help fill the gaps in the literature around this topic.
-
-Much of our work happens through trial and error, is embodied and starts in small conversations that we try to translate back for a wider audience. When we got invited to work on the Syllabus, though, it seemed natural that we could use that time and space to organize all of our material, get a better grasp on the history of the work of autonomous emotional support and where it has come from, and really have some dedicated time to scour and wade through it all. We were suprised to find that when we did that, we found that others might have already attempted to put out a 'best practices' guide before, but perhaps in a very different time and place or in different waves of social upheaval. All in all, we loved the opportunity to put this together for others to use, and to work on it alongside some other really amazing people and projects.
-
-We'll come out with a publication focused on autonomous emotional support sometime in the coming months that delves more into some of the ways we've seen folks already practicing this right now, contains more of the guidelines we have put together, and generally mirrors the kind of content you're more used to seeing come from PMS. This syllabus stands alone as a way to step ones toes into the work of developing autonomous emotional support. We think it would be best served for those who want to pick a few of the sessions and go through them with others who want to do this work together; the discussion questions could serve as a jumping off point for some of the conversations that will need to happen.

-# Sea Rescue as Care
-
- ## Context
-
-> Piracy in the early eighteenth century was, at bottom, a struggle for life against socially organized death.[^1]
-
-This definition of piracy, however, was surely not the one that former Italian minister of interior Matteo Salvini had in mind, when he proclaimed "yet another act of Piracy by an outlaw organization", in June 2019, after the crew of Sea-Watch 3 had rescued 52 people from a rubber boat in distress.[^2] And yet, the struggle that has been going on for five years in the central Mediterranean Sea is just that: a struggle for life against socially organized death. European states have created a zone at their margins, where all their proclaimed values, their human and civil rights are suspended; a state of exception that reduces the sea to a weapon, people to bargaining chips – and the fluid southern frontier of EUrope to the deadliest border in the world.[^3]
-
-The European activists who oppose this state of exception are of course neither pirates in the historical, nor in the legal or ideational sense: If, according to Markus Rediker, historical piracy was a (class) struggle for the pirate's own life, which presupposed sheer defiance of death itself[^4], then civil sea rescue activism is primarily a fight in solidarity, starting off from the privileged position that it is not the activist's own life that is at stake. Nonetheless, the parallels that Matteo Salvini's repeated accusations of piracy unintentionally point to can't be ignored when looking at civil sea rescue as an act of pirate care: "the term pirate has been highly ideological from antiquity forward, functioning more or less as the maritime equivalent of barbarian—that is, anyone who was an enemy of the Romans."[^5]
-
-While the sea rescuers were surely declared public enemy Numero Uno in Rome, at least in the first half of 2019, the question arises; does their intervention represent a modern act of symbolic piracy (in the best sense)? Or, in other words: can humanitarian emergency aid also be an act of political resistance? The state's reaction surely suggests so. While the Atlantic pirates of the golden age – a tellingly short time from 1716 until 1727 – were quickly faced with a campaign of terror by "royal officials, attorneys, merchants, publicists, clergymen, and writers who created, through proclamations, legal briefs, petitions, pamphlets, sermons, and newspaper articles, an image of the pirate that would legitimate his annihilation"[^6] the modern nation states of the EU undertook their very own campaign to 'cleanse the seas'. But let's start from the beginning.
-
-## From Illegal Immigration to Humanitarian Border Management
-
-After heavily relying on low-cost migrant labour in the years after the second world war, due to reconstruction and a lack of 'manpower', the Oil Shock in 1973 turned the tables and brought the economical boom to an abrupt end. One of the reactions of the countries affected was to restrict labour immigration[^7]. The tightening of the visa regime not only laid the foundation for today's European border policy – and thus the so-called "refugee crisis in the Mediterranean" – but also set its constitutive dispositif: illegality. As Philippe Fargues summed it up for the International Organization for Migration (IOM): "It is common sense to state that illegality is a product of how legality is defined and the law enforced, and this applies to migration just as to any other phenomenon."
-
-The illegalisation however, didn't stop the migratory flow, for reasons which Italian journalist and human rights activist Gabriele del Grande tried to explain to former Italian interior minister Matteo Salvini, in simple capitalist terms: "[T]here are two market laws that continue to be ignored. The first is that demand generates supply. The second is that prohibition supports the mafias. In other words, as long as someone is willing to pay to travel from Africa to Europe, someone will offer them the opportunity to do so. And if the airlines won't do it, the smugglers will."[^8]
-
-Consequently, since the mid 1970s far more than 2.5 million [^9] migrants have crossed the Mediterranean Sea "illegally" on three main routes: The Western Route, with only 15 kilometres from northern Morocco to southern Spain. The Eastern Route, from Turkey to Greece, particularly busy between 2014 and 2016, when over a million refugees, mostly from Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq, beat their way towards central Europe. And the Central Mediterranean Route, which actually includes a number of long-distance routes through the Sicilian Channel, with Libya as the main hub of embarkation. [^10]
-
-The Central Mediterranean route is by far the most dangerous passage, with more than 15.900 official reported deaths, since 2014, compared to 3.476 in the west and east, making it the deadliest border crossing in the world. [^11] (At the same time, there are indications that the unknown number of lives lost in the Sahara, on the way to the Mediterranean Sea, could be even higher.[^12])
-
-The EU's reaction to the mass dying on their southern border changed over time, as Paolo Cuttitta outlines: "until 2013 state authorities in the Mediterranean used to systematically discourage all seafarers – mainly fishing boats and cargoes – from accomplishing their duty to rescue people in distress at sea, in the frame of what has been called the 'governing of indifference'"[^13]. By the end of 2013 however, a few days after the shipwreck of October 3, which left around 390 dead off Lampedusa and sparked international concern, Italy launched its own large-scale sea rescue operation. Named after an ancient Roman term for the Mediterranean – Mare Nostrum: Our Sea – it was "the most significant step in the process of institutional humanitarianization of the EU sea border, in whose framework humanitarian arguments are deployed to support exclusionary policies and practices." [^14]
-
-Due to major success – the efforts of the Italian navy and coast guards led to the safe arrival of over 150.000 people within the first year – the operation was quickly cancelled and replaced with a less efficient successor (Frontex Triton).
-
-## From Depoliticisation to Repoliticisation
-
-For many people within the sea rescue movement, and many observers, the past five years have been a constant revelation about the EU states' intentions: whereas initially, from the tragic boat accident in October 2013 until the "refugee crisis" in 2015, one could still assume incompetence of European institutions, the developments in the years since have patently shown that supposed accidents and catastrophes were no accidents and catastrophes whatsoever. Everything from boats sinking, over thousands upon thousands dying on the externalized EU-borders,[^15] to further thousands held captive on Greek islands; all of that was intentional or, at the very least, accepted with approval. "It should act as a deterrent for other refugees; it should stop them from fleeing. Europe is using dead refugees to shield itself from refugees."[^16]
-
-The civilian sea rescue didn't change this policy. In fact, it might have even assisted it, in so far as it provided operational support and – before it started to be criminalised – it provided a humanitarian and de-politicising legitimation to the very border regime it sought to criticize.[^17] However, from the very beginning there have also been re-politicising, resistant elements in the NGO's modus operandi. Cuttitta concretely names their constant role as uneasy witnesses, Sea-Watch's long-time refusal to take people in distress aboard their own ship, and instead only secure the scene and wait for state actors to do their job, finalize the rescue and bring the survivors to land.[^18] The re-politicising tendency prevailed particularly in the first half of 2019, in the form of a constant and open confrontation with authorities and repeated breach of the Italian port entry restrictions.
-
-Forensic Oceanography in its inquiry Blaming the Rescuers reached a less ambivalent conclusion. It suggests that the resistant character of sea rescue is already inscribed in the act itself, irrespective of its discursive implications – in so far as this act keeps the Mediterranean route open.[^19]
-
-Both Cuttitta and Forensic Oceanography's inquiries, however, disregard the symbolic aspect: a ship, as Michel Foucault argued, can not be reduced to its functional aspect. It also offers "the greatest reserve of the imagination."[^20]
-
-Relatively independent from how de-politicising the embedding of civilian sea rescue into a - what might have at the time seemed humanitarian - border management regime, the image of the rescue ship was nonetheless seized upon by a number of re-politicising movements. As Beppe Caccia and Sandro Mezzadra of Mediterranea write: "Our ship has been appropriated and somehow reinvented from a wide range of standpoints that go from occupied social centers to parishes, universities and schools, from small town circles to metropolitan assemblies."[^21]
-
-The most recent culmination of that story, the arrest of Carola Rackete, added a strong, rebellious-feminist layer to the projection screen, as Georg Seeßlen outlined in Jungle World:
-First, it was a man who fared the seas and ventured into the world, leaving his docile and lamenting wife back home on firm land. But now it is men that stay back lamenting [...] Vile, hysterical men that barricade themselves up with their followers in ever narrower confines and that understand less and less of the world that surrounds them the more they get worked up by it – the world of far-travelled, brave, cool and autarchic women-captains. For sure, the reality is more complicated than that, and after all it is the bad guys that mostly win. But at least we again have a story that instils hope and awakens the spirit of rebellion to life.[^22]
-
-Ships such as Aquarius, Mare Jonio, Iuventa or Sea-Watch 3 have not only served as vessels for people but also as a vessel for an idea of another Europe – a Europe of solidarity. As such they hold enormous significance and resistant character, or in Foucault's words: "in civilizations without boats, dreams dry up, espionage takes the place of adventure, and the police take the place of pirates." [^23]

-# Transhackfeminism
-
-When we use the term in the context of this syllabus, we mean a re- politicization of feminism through (bio)practice, as a multiplicity of methods. This proposal has its origin in the [transhackfeminist manifesto](https://pechblenda.hotglue.me/?transhackfeminism_en) by Pechblenda and to the first Transhackfeminist meeting [THF!](http://transhackfeminist.noblogs.org/), as well as its subsequent versions, nodes and tentacles and presence in [Hack the Earth](https://calafou.org/en/content/hack-earth-simbiotica-22-24-april). In general terms, “transhackfeminism” refers to hacking_with_care, using hacking with a meaning of (active) resistance and transformation to generate transversal knowledge through transdisciplinary artistic, aesthetic or cultural practices/ proposals. To work on producing knowledge collectively: without differentiating between theory and practice; as well as to embrace, protect and advance in free culture. To create communities where people meet, exchange, experience and share knowledge. To work on human and non-human alliances and solidarity through DIY/DIWO/DIT biotechnology, artistic and cultural practices.
-
-*To stay in touch* with the material-affective dimensions of doing and engaging (bio)practices.
-
-# Decolonizing Technologies
-
-To take as a starting point the assumption that colonialism has invaded and embedded the digital realm and our technologies in general. Jodi Dean calls part of this process “communicative capitalism”[^1]. Ulises Mejias warns us how the network broadens participation yet also exacerbates disparity, increasing exclusion rather than inclusion[^2]. Nicole Starosielski talks about the inherent and continuous colonial relationships embedded in the undersea cables[^3]. Meanwhile, we are reminded of the materiality of technologies in Parks and Starosielski’s work Signal Traffic[^4].
-
-How then can we imagine the decolonization of technologies and of cyberspace? What would such processes, epistemologies, and practices entail? How can feminist anti-colonial, post-colonial, and/or indigenous frameworks shape and strengthen our analysis in our collective reflection on such questions? At the methodological level, can radical speculative fiction or storytelling a la Octavia’s Brood (2015)[^5] help us produce our vision(s) of decolonized technologies? In this stream we will explore the intricacies of colonial technologies while at the same time trying to conceive what decolonial technologies mean.
-
-# Queer, Feminist and Anti-Racist Pedagogies
-
-What are the queer, feminist and anti-racist pedagogies that inform our work? How, in turn, are theses pedagogies informing and shaping the direction of our queer, feminist and anti-oppressive hacker movement? What are the relationships between queer, feminist and anti-racist pedagogies and the technologies we aim at using and creating (whether decolonial, autonomous, transfeminist, etc.)? What differentiates the pedagogie(s) we embrace from the pedagogies of other hacker culture(s)? What is the significance of using such pedagogies in our work? This topic will allow us to question, deepen and share such pedagogies. Our ultimate desire for this topic is to start the co-production of a manual about what we mean by queer, feminist and anti-racist pedagogies. Such a manual will be invaluable for our work (teaching FemCrypt, gender and tech institutes, etc.). Clearly articulating the pedagogies that sustain our work will help us take stock of where we are, who we are and where we want to go.
-
-# Hacking with Care
-
-The issue of care is central for and integral to queer, feminist and anti-racist hackers. In this topic, the concept of hacking with care is understood as a practice which foregrounds the art(s) of well-being as powerful means to encourage, mirror and sustain connexions to ourselves, altruism, and to embody a web of trust. With Hacking with Care, we wish to contribute to the resiliency and “prosperity” of what we see as an extended network of caregivers: hackers-activists, lawyers, journalists, artists, whistle-blowers, and many others with or without a “profession” or a “name”, distant and near, free and imprisoned, each and everyone of us a node in this human support network.
