În episodul de astăzi stăm de vorba cu Cristina Praz, activistă în cadrul Centrului Filia, despre raportul intitulat „Hărțuirea sexuală și discriminarea de gen în spațiul universitar”, la întocmirea căruia a luat parte. În prima parte discutăm despre tema mai largă a hărțuirii sexuale și a discriminării de gen, atât în universități, cât și în viața de zi cu zi. Vorbim despre raport, cum a fost el formulat și mai apoi distribuit în universități și despre tăcerea sau lipsa totală de interes din partea acestora. În partea a doua discutăm despre metodele de combatare a hărțuirii, abuzul și discriminării propuse în cadrul raportului, prin campanii, cursuri sau workshopuri despre ce înseamnă și cum pot arăta acestea. Vorbim și despre problema reglementărilor interne, întrucât multe universități nu oferă nici măcar un formular standard de raportare a hărțuirii. În ultima parte extindem ideea combaterii, de la metodele birocratice și până la cursurile de auto-apărare.

In today’s episode we sit down and talk with Benedik Kern, about the asylum system in Germany and the EU. Our guest tells us about the work that his organization is doing organizing so-called “church asylums” and “citizen asylums”, wherein churches and individual citizens offer safe places for people avoiding the Dublin system to hide from authorities. The main topic of the discussion is the coming change in the EU asylum system. It entails the outsourcing of the entire asylum procedure outside the EU, to camps in bordering countries that are considered safe. With this, there will be no more asylum procedure within the EU borders per se, fundamentally changing the whole movement landscape. The new law first has to be voted in the EU parliament and then implemented by individual countries in their national legal system, thus taking some years to come into effect. We talk with Benedikt about ways we can fight the consolidation of Fortress Europe, and how this must necessarily entail at least regional cooperation between groups and movements.

In today’s episode we talk with human rights activist Jamal about the colonial occupation of Western Sahara by Morocco and the decades-long decolonial struggle of the Sahrawi people. We start the discussion by going over the chronology of the occupation, discussing the main international actors and their interests in the region, and how these interests ignore the rights and demands of the majority local Sahrawi population. We talk about the imperial and extractivist logic that drives Morocco, and how the EU is failing to uphold international law in exchange for access to fisheries, green energy and other benefits. In the second part we talk about the Polisario Front, the organization leading the resistance of the Sahrawis, and how people can support the cause.

În episodul de azi vorbim despre situația generală din învățământul Românesc, și în particular despre protestul sindical din 10 mai și greva generală anunțată începând cu 22 mai. Episodul este înregistrat la cald după participarea noastră la protest. Discuția începe de la reflecții personale asupra sindicatelor din mediul universitar, unde activează unx dintre noi. Continuăm cu experiențe de la fața locului de la protestul din 10 mai organizat de federațiile mari de sindicate din învățământul preuniversitar și universitar. Discutăm apoi despre cauzele, legate mai ales de nivelul de salarizare, care au generat situația actuală și citim revendicările sindicatelor. La final, atingem și tema personalului care asigură curățenia și pază, trendul de a externaliza aceste servicii către firme private și efectul pe care l-ar avea externalizarea asupra acestor muncitorx.

În episodul de azi vorbim cu Cosmin Popan despre munca de livrator în cadrul gig economy. Discuția pornește de la munca de cercetare făcută de Cosmin în trei orașe: Manchester, Cluj și Lyon. Perspectiva alternează între observații teoretice, conceptuale despre modurile în care acest tip de muncă afectează conștiența lucrătorilor și câmpul muncii în general, respectiv observații pragmatice de pe teren. În cursul discuției atingem subiecte precum tipul contractelor sub care lucrează livratorii, inițiative legislative la nivel național și EU și tipurile ascunse de coerciție care vin la pachet cu felul acesta de muncă. Discutăm, în particular, despre felul în care expansiunea acestui model de muncă ne constrânge nu doar posibilitățile economice dar și capacitatea de imagina lumi diferite.

In today’s episode we talk with author, professor, and activist Ashley Dawson about the neoliberal city in the context of climate change and the liberatory potential inherent in community solar energy projects. The first half of the episode follows our guest’s book, Extreme Cities. The discussion starts from observations on the usual scale of reporting and perception of climate change – global or national, but not the urban scale. We talk about how large climate projects are often designed with planned obsolescence in mind, and first of all serve the interests of the elites; about the unequal impact of climate change and how communities often respond through what Ashely calls disaster communism; and about community solar energy as an example of such a collective (preventive in this case) response in the face of crisis. The second half of the ep. is based on Ashley’s book, People’s Power, and makes a case for community managed solar energy projects as a progressive tool through which to tackle the issue of energy poverty and the looming climate apocalypse. The topics that we cover include the solar commons as an analytical and discursive tool, issues of accessibility (financial, technological etc) surrounding solar projects, and reflections on how the state fits into the picture.

În episodul de azi vorbim cu Vlad Zaha și Luca Istodor despre legislația pe tema consumului de droguri. În prima parte a episodului aflăm despre legislația existentă și propunerile legislative aflate în diferite stadii de implementare. Vlad ne prezintă consensul științific cu privire la inutilitatea abordărilor punitive ca măsuri de reducere a consumului și comercializării de droguri, iar Luca ne povestește despre cum este reprezentat subiectul în media autohtonă. În încheiere vorbim despre diferitele traiectorii legislative posibile pe care le pot implementa statele: criminalizare, decriminalizare, legalizare strictă și promovare comercială, și implicațiile acestora.

In today’s episode we talk with an anarchist comrade from Ljubljana about the Balkan Anarchist Bookfair (BAB). We discuss the political and historical context that gave birth to the anarchist movement in the former Yugoslav region, materialized among others in the organizing of the first BAB in the early 2000s. As the years passed, the organizing assembly grew and the host location moved around the broadly defined Balkan area. In the second part of the episode our guest tells us about the previous bookfair held in Cluj, Romania, in 2022, and the forthcoming edition – the 20th anniversary – coming back to Ljubljana where the founding edition was held. We end with an invitation for anarchist and anti-authoritarian groups from the region to participate in the 2023 bookfair and to contribute to the organizing programme as they desire.

In today’s episode we talk with an Iranian dissident comrade about the political context that created the conditions for the waves of protests sweeping Iran in recent years. We start the discussion with a historical overview of the events that transformed Iran into a ‘militarized theocracy’ after the Revolution of 1979, and what the main (state and non-state) actors are. Then we turn to the present moment. The current wave of protests was prompted by the murder of a young Kurdish woman, Mahsa Amini, by the “morality police”, for not wearing a hijab. Our guest explains what the so-called morality police is in Iran, and what the legal context is surrounding the imposition of wearing the hijab. The topics that we touch upon include the internet connectivity restrictions during the protests and the effects of internationally imposed sanctions. We end with a reflection on why things cannot go back to the way they were before the current wave of protests.
