| <nettime> period after |
dear friends, we are currently in the preparation of the launch of the Period After website. a brief proposal can be found below in english, serbian and german. consider this as a private invite, not a public mailout. i would like to ask you, or invite you to contribute three to ten lines for the opening of Period After. especially the understanding of 'after' in the context of contemporary politics might provide an extensive ground for thought. it would be great to receive some statements we could use for the 'period after' column on the Period After site. if you could think of other ways to contribute, we would be very happy to host your thoughts and work. i do apologise for the 'bureaucratic' language used in the texts below, but when dealing with issues of integration we decided to go down the welcoming lane. looking forward to hear from you, micz flor ####################################### PERIOD AFTER - support now for the period after Period After is a web based project, focussing on the urgency, the development and the long term effects of the Balkan crisis, with a main interest in the potential and real consequences. It will primarily support and collaborate with independent voices and organisations in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia who are momentarily under severe pressure caused by war activities, rumours, political and media propaganda, shortages, disintegration of the social and material environment and the humanitarian catastrophe. Issues of multi-ethnic collaboration and integration are of the main concern of Period After. The project will work as an information base, an opinion forum and a meeting point. Period After will provide moral support, for the sake of the courage of those independent voices and intends to work for a continuation of a free flow of independent uncensored information and communication on all sides, about key political developments and issues of security and economic development in the context of the democratisation process in any possible 'period after'. It will identify and mediate social, economic and political conditions after the war which can cause new dislocations. Period After applies mostly to the territory of Austria where we would raise public awareness about the situation faced by refugees among the Austrian citizens, Serb and Albanian non-refugee communities. This will mean to work for a reduced likelihood of social tension and increase dialogue. Through public access, freedom of expression and professional information accessible through new information technology, the Internet, we can help people in Austria as well as in Yugoslavia to understand the processes and establish modes of orientation in this movement of culture and political actions on the Balkan and across Europe. The long term aim is to develop an informed network with individual opinions, towards the development of an integrated and tolerant, peaceful Europe. The website will be in English, German and Serbian in the initial phase. Albanian translations are currently being seeked. TITLE: PERIOD AFTER support now for the period after PROJECT BEARER: Public Netbase t0 Institute for New Culture Technologies LOCATION: Vienna, Austria DURATION: 12 months MEDIA: Website with other Media Outlets URL: http://periodafter.t0.or.at (15/05/99) ####################################### Period After / Period posle support now for the period after / danas mislimo na sutra "Period posle" je zamisljen kao web sajt, posvecen istovremeno aktuelnim dogadjanja kao i razvoju dugorocnih posledica krize na Balkanu. Pratice posledice koje je kriza vec izazvala kao i one moguce u buducnosti. U pitanju je projekat koji ce prvenstveno okupljati one nezavisne glasove pojedinaca i organizacija u SRJ koje su momentalno pod velikim pritiscima izazvanim ratnim sukobima, glasinama, politickoj i medijskoj propagandi, kao i posledicama raspada socijalnog i ekonomskog okruzenja i posledicama humanitarne katastrofe. Mogucnosti multi-etnicke saradnje i integracije bice jedan od glavnih interesa ovog projekta. Projekat je zamisljen kao baza informacija, slobodan forum za razmenu misljenja i u tom smislu specificno mesto susretanja. Pokusace da pruzi moralnu podrsku i ohrabri nezavisne glasove, neometan i slobodan protok necenzurisanih informacija i komunikacije svih strana u sukobu, posvecujuci posebnu paznju temama vezanim za politicke procese, pitanja bezbednosti i ekonomskog razvoja u kontekstu pomoci procesu demokratizacije u "periodu posle". U okviru projekta pokusacemo da identifikujemo socijalne, ekonomske i politicke procese koji bi mogli posle rata da budu uzrok novih dislokacija stanovnistva. "Period posle" jednim delom se odnosi na teritoriju Austrije gde ce pokusati u siroj javnosti, medju austrijskim gradjanima, kao i u srpskoj i albanskoj zajednici u Austriji, da skrene paznju na situaciju izbeglica u Austriji. Prakticno, to znaci raditi na smanjenju socijalnih tenzija i pospesenju dijaloga. Kroz Internet, kao jezik nove tehnologije svakome dostupan bez ogranicenja, putem slobodno izrazenog misljenja i profesionalne informacije verujemo da mozemo pomoci ljudima u Austriji kao i u Jugoslaviji da bolje shvate procese i pronadju sigurnije puteve u kulturnim i politickim pomeranjima koja se dogadjaju na Balkanu i u Evropi. Dugorocni cilj projekta je uspostavljanje neformalne mreze za izrazavanje individualnih, slobodnih razmisljanja i stavova koji mogu pomoci stvaranje integrisane, tolerantnije i mirne Evrope. Website ce biti dostupan na engleskom, nemackom i srpskom jeziku. Mogucnost albanskog prevoda se trenutno razmatra. Naziv projekta: PERIOD POSLE /original Period After/ Nosilac projekta: Public Netbase t0 Institute for New Culture Technologies Mesto: Vienna, Austria / Bec, Austrija Trajanje: godinu dana Mediji: website u interakciji sa srodnim medijima URL: http://periodafter.t0.or.at (15/05/99) ####################################### PERIOD AFTER support now for the 'period after' Period After ist ein Internetprojekt, das sich mit der Entwicklung und den längerfristigen Effekten der Balkankrise beschäftigt, mit den potentiellen und realen Konsequenzen. Period After wird mit unabhängigen Stimmen und Organisationen aus der Bundesrepublik Jugoslawiens kooperieren und unterstützen, die sich derzeit unter extremen Druck durch Kriegsaktivitäten, politische und mediale Propaganda, Engpässe, Disintegration sozialer und materieller Gegebenheiten und der humanitären Katastrophe befinden. Hauptanliegen von Period After ist ein multi-ethnisches Umfeld der Kooperation und Integration. Das Projekt fungiert als Anlaufstelle und Vermittler von Informationen, dient dem offenen Meinungsaustausch und soll virtueller Treffpunkt werden. Period After wird für die Courage unabhängiger Stimmen moralische Unterstützung bieten und mit seinen Mitteln an einer grenzüberschreitenden Weiterführung unabhängiger und unzensierter Information und Kommunikation zwischen allen Seiten arbeiten. Das Projekt ist dabei mittel- bis längerfristig angelegt, mit Hinblick auf die 'period after', die politischen, ökonomischen und sozialen Entwicklungen innerhalb eines Demokratisierungsprozesses. Dabei geht es darum Realitäten zu vermitteln, um neuen Diskontinuitäten entgegenzuwirken. Period After bezieht sich hauptsächlich auf Österreich, wo es darum geht die Aufmerksamkeit der Öffentlichkeit auf die Situation von Flüchtlingen zu lenken und serbische sowie albanische Gruppen, die keinen Flüchtlingsstatus haben. Das Projekt möchte kommunikativ und informativ möglichen sozialen Spannungen entgegenwirken und den produktiven Dialog zu fördern. Durch öffentlichen Zugang zu Medien, Meinungsfreiheit und professionelle Information die durch neue Kulturtechnologien wie das Internet zugängig werden, möchte Period After seinen Teil zum Verständnis der lokalen und trans-europäischen Entwicklung in Österreich und Jugoslawien beitragen. Es geht darum Orientierungen in den kulturellen und politischen Bewegungen zu definieren. Längerfristig hoffen wir ein informiertes Netzwerk individueller Meinungen zu entwickeln, mit dem Blick auf ein tolerantes, integriertes und friedliches Europa. Die Netzseite wird in Englisch, Deutsch und Serbisch entwickelt. Albanische Übersetzungsmöglichkeiten werden momentan gesucht.
