Given the new barricades

CHRISTOPHE ALIX, CATHERINE COROLLER, PIERRE DEMOUX and CHRISTIAN LOSSON
DAILY: Friday, February 1, 2008

They griment like clowns to laugh at the nose of the powerful G8. They weave their web of cross-information on over hacktivism. They climb on the roof of Medef to speak out against the unravelling of culture. They increase the happenings anti-cons to deride the Society of the Spectacle "earn more and buy more." They raillent the French to better outline the contours of a North-South relationship egalitarian. They? New protesters, neo-désobéisseurs, pioneers of a altermonde. Frondeurs. Mutiny. Lucides. Passeurs ideas of a group to another, shifting networks to strategies ephemeral of logical Impressionist struggles to avant-garde. They breath heirs of 68 without claim. Examples…

Work — "The more grounded in reality"
Cathy, precarious Generation

"We have an affinity group with 68. But there is more flexibility in our community, more fluidity, more derision too. It is less utopian, less idealistic, less fooled, but more grounded in reality. It is known that the resistance is not by political parties or trade unions. But it is equally radical and subversive as generating 68. Speaking of interns in society, it is about the use of serfdom in our system, which devours a docile workforce, without rights, without voice, without a face. It refuse to be a ghost. It is not inventing anything, it borrows from other forms of resistance, such as street theatre, green anarchism of English Reclaim the Streets. Above all, we cross our ideas with others. It will be the CRS coltine during flash mobs, these gatherings lightning in symbolic places, without launching pad, with a smile. It was launched Thursday on the black occupations festive housing empty. It initiates Germinal, a group which consists of green planting seeds in the walls of cities. It was aware of the powerlessness, but we do it anyway. I am 34 years old and I think that's, or save a belt of explosives and blow himself up in relation to the violence that returns today's society. "

INTERNET — "The power to all"
Frederic Couchet, Association pour la Promotion et la recherche en informatique libre

"May 68 intended to save the imagination in power. As of free movement in computing and, more generally, the control of knowledge. Against an economy of the annuity and the monopoly that freezes innovation, the free software for which we are working to April (Association pour la Promotion et la recherche en informatique libre) intends to release knowledge and abolish the legal and technological barriers in which some try to confine. The barrier between producers and consumers disappears, because everyone has the software but also its manufacturing recipe, with the opportunity to make his personal touch.

In the open source, the power belongs to everyone, not just a few. Free software democratizes knowledge avoiding its exclusive appropriation by multinationals. The world of free induces a very deep cultural change in the way we work. In a hierarchical model and closed operating in a vacuum, free software replaces a model community based on cooperation and sharing. It is not a coincidence that the boom of free software is gone hand in hand with democratization of the Internet. The fantastic growth of the global network has led to a simplified architecture dissemination of knowledge. You can see it with a site like the free encyclopedia Wikipedia, which has enabled people from all over the planet to work together. That utopia huitarde sixty-free became a reality in part. "
