The Russian Cultural Situation in the Age of Chechen War
Dark Markets
Russia is on a peak of globalization, and Moscow is a new mega polis. The city is constantly infused with investments. But, at the same time, stagnation of cultural activity is obvious. The same kind of stagnation hits the radical political life, there is strict division between private and public life style. Now Russia seems to lack any public opinion. But this new situation gave birth to numerous new forms of artistic and social activity.

Whose Democracy? Information Flows, NGOs and the Predicament of Developing States
Dark Markets
Everyone likes to claim their organisations operate in ways that adhere to basic democratic principles. The complex of informational relations between African states, supranational entities, corporations, civilian populations and NGOs is defined by various scalar tensions that seriously undermine the constitutive dimensions of a democratic polity. Herein lies the logic of uneven modernities. This talk considers the paradoxical role played by NGOs in developing civic infrastructures, and suggests that greater focus needs to be placed by NGOs on securing intellectual property rights for developing states as the condition of political and economic sovereignty within informational and biotech economies.

Market-ideology, Semiocapitalism and the digital Cognitariat
Dark Markets
With the rise of the New Economy a new virtual class was born: the cognitariat. Due to a split in the virtual class cognitive workers became the proletarians of the 90ies. The question of social identity after the dotcom-crash is obvious. Can the global movement against corporate capitalism since the days of the Seattle riots be seen as the global movement of self-organization of cognitive workers?

Dark Horses: The Theory of Free Cooperation and the Capability of the Net for Emancipation and Oppression
Dark Markets
The theory of free cooperation is an attempt to reconstruct left theory and practice, based on the critique and theoretical inputs by the new social movements of the last decades. It's an answer to the question: If we let go the belief in the "automatical" development of freedom and emancipation through economic progress, the belief in hierarchies, in superficial forms of "democratization" - what is left? How can we build up politics on that, and what does it look like? This will also give new perspectives on the Internet, its power structures and counter-power possibilities.

A Virtual World is Possible: From Tactical Media to Digital Multitudes
Dark Markets
The presentation starts with the current strategy debates of the so-called "anti-globalisation movement", the biggest emerging political force for decades. In Part II Lovink and Schneider discuss strategies of critical new media culture in the post-speculative phase after dotcommania. Four phases of the global movement are becoming visible, all of which have distinct political, artistic and aesthetic qualities:
(a) The 90s and tactical media activism
(b) 99-01: The period of big mobilizations
(c) Confusion and resignation after 9/11
(d) Present challenge: liquidate the regressive third period of marginal moral protest

Which Democracy in a post-political Age?
Dark Markets
We live today in a post-political age where dissent is increasingly taking the form of a total rejection of traditional democratic institutions. This can favor the growth of authoritarian movements. The only way to prevent such an outcome is the creation of a properly agonistic debate about possible alternatives to the existing hegemonic order. How could the new media contribute to such a project?

After the NGO Revolution: Non-state actors at a CrossRoads
Dark Markets
However difficult as a political goal, re-constructing the state seems vastly more realistic, than ineffective and sometimes quixotic attempts to build "civil society" where most citizens are, for perfectly valid reasons, disinclined to contribute their time or money.

At the final stage of the anti-globalization movement Berardi Bifo Franco both analyzes the dynamics of class forces in the last decades and the "movement". He predicts other, less ethically inspired fights in an inevitable struggle against Bush & Berlusconi´s National Liberalism that in his opinion produces ignorance and depression.
