Two public events in Turin – thinking about war and anti-militarism with connessioni precarie and Potere al Popolo

Today and tomorrow I will take part into two public events in Turin to discuss about the militarization of our society in Italy and Europe, and the relationship of the military-industrial-complex in our Universities.

The first is the discussion of the book “Nella Terza Guerra Mondiale” (In the Third World War), written by the collective connessioni precarie.

The other is an event organised by Potere al Popolo, in preparation of the national strike against the war and for Palestine taking place on the 29th of November in Italy.

Three events this week on war economies, the militarization of education & BDS-Palestine in Turin and Milan

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.

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’.

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.
