Reclaim the Streets: The Film and Other Media Tactics
The Disorganisation
Reclaim the Streets (RtS) cannot be understood as a campaign, although
some of its methods are very similar. There are now RtS groups in
thirty cities organising illegal street parties. Most of these groups
only exist for the event, and many of the activists are involved in
local campaigns during the rest of the year. There is no membership or
official line although many would like to see a wider global strategy.
As a movement, RtS is only four years old, and it could grow in
unpredictable ways.

Tactics of Protest Now
This discussion explores tactical media in contemporary culture and social movements. In response to a deep economic, political, and cultural crisis, new social movements are challenging the dominant political and economic order. Tactical media, David Garcia says, has emerged through, 'the impact of the rise of small-scale DIY media, tools and networks in art, social and political activism, and the rise of new social movements.' How can tactical media connect with and re-contextualise the traditional methods of propaganda and create new alternative forms of action for the future?

ReadPaul Virilio
Paul Virilio (b. 1932 in Paris) is a world-renowned philosopher,
urbanist, and cultural theorist. His work focuses on urban spaces and
the development of technology in relation to power and speed. He is
known for his coining of the term 'dromology' to explain his theory of
speed and technology. Paul Virilio is of mixed ancestry, being the son
of an Italian father (who identified as a Communist) and a Breton
mother. As a small child in France during the Second World War, Paul
Virilio was profoundly impacted by the blitzkrieg and total war;
however, these early experiences shaped his understanding of the
movement and speed which structures modern society. In order to escape
the heavy fighting in the city, he fled with his family to the port of
Nantes in 1939.
