Global Project > Communicative Disobedience

Global Project | 30.05.2003 17:34

GlobalProject is a multifaceted project, a location of intersections and multiple interactions that releases itself in three articulations: a monthly publication GlobalMagazine, a radiophonic circuit GlobalRadio, and a television GlobalTV.

GlobalProject is born from a new political condition that is that of the disobbedienti movement; opposite the /democratic/ media imbroglio—impartial, abstract—we claim our belonging to a real and shared political context. Our community practices the contamination prioritizing communicative agitation for the creation of a transversable mediactic public space of the multitudes, with the knowledge that there is no separation from action and communication, from praxis and the production of sense, from life and desires. The media today is the site of political conflict as a means of the production of the real, of economic production, and of the production of collective imagination; of needs and desires. The discussion is therefore not to create a media more correct or more beautiful, but to destroy homogeneous thought to create a new community. In the society of communication, it is not that we need ulterior information, even if they are more “true” and possible objectives, but of creativity, collective myth formation, guerrilla communication. It is a guerrilla communication in continual movement that experiments with new languages, a new collective narration, and an unlimited and effective relation with new technologies.
GlobalProject began in November 2002 in Florence, and from that moment has never stopped crossing boundaries, walking with the Movement of Movements. And now, in what they insist on calling “postwar”, GlobalProject will follow the caravan to Iraq launched by Association Ya Basta that will cross Palestine and Jordan and will be held simultaneously with Evian where the multitudes will demonstrate in protest, refusing the legitimacy of the G8. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd of June 2003 the summit of the G8 will be held in Evian, France, in the heart of Europe but blinded by an enormous red zone. The first reunion of the G8 of the “postwar” period is the occasion to divide and distribute the wealth of Iraq between the world powers. At the same time as all of Europe is reaching Evian to demonstrate--crossing the European frontiers, refusing the legitimacy of the G8--the caravan will simultaneously reach Amman. From Jordan we will enter Iraq to support, with an active and visible presence, the projects of cooperation and solidarity that several associations and NGOs are initiating with the Iraqi social network outside of the partnership with the occupying forces.
