Dear Friends,
We would like to announce the Urban Study Group
mailing list for research and discussions on urbanism
in South Asia. The South Asian metropolis, like many
other global cities, has been rapidly remade in the
past fifteen years. The urban environment has
experienced dizzying shifts in regimes of property,
notions of citizenship/urban politics, and the very
physical familiarity of the street or neighborhood.
Just as we witness the new elite urbanism of malls,
multiplex cinemas, and gated residential communities,
we also observe growing counter claims to urban
territory in a politics that is rooted in daily life.
In what ways do people make claims to the city? What
challenges do new forms of urbanism and urban politics
pose to existing understandings of the city?
There are many forums of discussion currently taking
place in India and abroad on the city and its many
processes. We hope this list will build on these
existing local networks of researchers, students and
practitioners. We are also seeking dialogue from other
Asian and Third World contexts in order to generate
new inquiries and draw critical linkages between
analogous urban experiences.

This list is a member of Sarai.net, based in Delhi.

programs, please see:

Curt Gambetta and Solomon Benjamin, list
administrators, Bangalore, India.

PRECAIR FORUM: flexible labour/migration/the city
A one-day series of forums and workshops examining the precarisation of
everyday life within and beyond the Netherlands ? intersecting the
changing nature of work (flex/temp/contingent) and production
(knowledge-based and immaterial), migration and informal economies, and
new strategies for metropolitan struggles.
Issues include: flexibilisation, social exclusion, migration and
illegalisation, urban regeneration and gentrification, tactics for
re-appropriating the city, organising toward EuroMayDay 2005 and
demanding social rights to open citizenship, housing and income and
more.
Featuring: (to be confirmed): local groups such as Vrije Ruimte, OKIA,
SASH, NextGenderation and international speakers including Precarias a
la Deriva (Madrid, Spain), Maurizio Lazzarato (France), London
Particular (London, UK), and P2P Fightsharing (Rome, Italy) and more
(tbc)
When: 12 February 2005, 14:00 ? 19:00
Where: Plantage Doklaan 12, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
The Forum is free, but email <contact@precairforum.nl> to register.

??????????..
Background:
Recent years have seen the rise of a knowledge-based economy based on
immaterial production (of information and services etc) and flexible
labour. This economy is one that requires us to permanently school
ourselves, to adapt and move to its rhythms - animated as these are (it
is said) by technology, innovation and other codewords for permanent
improvement. Yet, as is clear to those put to work in it, it is an
economy that operates by producing various kinds of ?precarity? - or
social and economic insecurity ? as a structural feature of everyday
life.
Precarity ? which literally means to be continually uncertain of your
own future - and the neoliberal organisation of work are tightly
interconnected. Whether as legal or illegalised migrants, as unemployed
workers without welfare-state guarantees or as freelancers, temps,
part-timers, students or flexworkers, ?flexibility? means the permanent
fragility of one?s income, job or housing.
It is migrants, undocumented and illegalised workers that
disproportionately bear the burden of precarisation. From factory work
to agricultural production, domestic labour to sex work, irregular work
through familial networks to various forms of self-employment, migrant
workers are forced to endure a situation of perpetual social and job
insecurity - that is neither temporary nor exceptional ? under the
continual threat of blackmail, detention or expulsion. Yet traditional
unionization and appeals to citizenship rights are failing to resolve
these problems, and there is a pressing need to forge new strategies.
And so we find ourselves in a precarious city - a metropolis shaped by
processes of gentrification, social exclusion, speculation and mobility,
while marked by the erosion of public space, privatization of social
housing, by displacement and eviction. Yet, in the Netherlands, the
term ?precarity? is little known and rarely used by those most affected
by the worst excesses of neoliberalism.
Across the rest of Europe, various groups have used the idea of
precarity tomake connections between conflicts and to allow them to
communicate and circulate. For example, in France it is ?intermittents?
(temp workers in the cultural industries), ?sans-papiers? (undocumented
workers) and ?chomeurs? (unemployed) who recognise themselves in each
others? struggles and situations. In Spain and Italy a number of groups
are campaigning around the issue of precarity, such as the flexworkers?
syndicate Chainworkers (Milan) and the research collective Precarias a
la Deriva (Madrid). In 2004, the First of May was celebrated in Milan
and Barcelona by 100.000 people protesting against their precarity and
exploitation in the so-called "flexible, modern" neoliberal economy

Meta-CC.net Progress Report
January 7, 2005 - the innerweb of conglomco
Meta-cc is a project deisgned to allow for realtime, dynamic commentary
creation, criticising mainstream television news.
Meta-cc is in its final phases of testing and integration. Conglomco
estimates a full launch of the Meta-cc engine by mid-January/early
February 2005. Currently we have a fully functioning searchable
rss-cache, a user editable keyword database, and have implemented
functioning video streaming solutions. For more information about the
project and how all of this relates, visit http://meta-cc.net
In preparation for the site launch, we would like to invite early
adopters to participate by adding to our database their blogs, the
blogs of those they admire/despise, and keywords they feel appropriate
to properly parse the murky waters of cable news.
Interested parties should contact one of the project leaders from the
contacts page
at http://meta-cc.net
Cheers,
Conglomco
