public events – a blog

Spring has arrived, and the horror of the Israeli war and so many other wars are still here. We must not stop studying and discussing the intensification of militarization in our collective lives in the West and beyond. This week in Turin and in Milan, I will take part in three exciting public events, open to all (discussion will be in Italian).

On Monday, the 25th, at 20:30 in Turin (at OST Barriera), there will be a meeting on the capitalistic mode of production and the fragmentation of international markets. It is the launch of a very interesting book by the Rete dei Comunisti, upon which I will offer some reflections, among others.

On Tuesday, the 26th, at 16:00 in Milan (at the Universitá Statale di Milano, Legnaia), I will be discussing my book Universitá e Militarizzazione and be talking about the relationship between the university and the military sector with students and comrades.

Finally, on Thursday, the 28th, at 18:30 in Turin (at the Kontiki place via Cigliano), I will discuss a book, with others, about the Boycott, Disinvest, Sanction campaign and the involvement of Italian authorities in doing all sorts of problematic (read: militarized) dealings with the Israeli state.

I look forward to all of this! Posters and info are below.

I’m happy to take part to two important events taking place under the auspice of the City of Naples this week.

Tomorrow, Wednesday 7 June we are going to have a discussion with the talented Sarah Gainsforth on #housing, #housing and housing struggles.

Events will continue on Thursday 8 with a second meeting I will also be part of, organised by the City of Naples on ‘Housing Precarity and Access to Housing’.

I would also like to mention the public demonstration tomorrow afternoon against the touristification of the city:

The housing emergency is an issue that has returned, after years, to national prominence. The Municipality of Naples has joined a network of local administrations that in recent weeks have put forward a proposal to the national government for 𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗴𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗱𝗿𝗼 𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗹’𝗘𝗱𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗶𝗮 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘇𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮, a policy of free assignment of unused state or parastatal properties to municipalities, the refinancing of the National Rental Fund and the National Fund for the Blighted, a national law to regulate tourist platforms, and a national measure that structurally recognises emergency housing and homelessness.

On these topics, the Municipality of Naples is organising a series of meetings with the theme of housing, through round tables, conferences and thematic discussions.
