SUMMARY:Book launch [in Greek]: The End of the Great Deviation: From Ukraine and the pandemic to the shaping of the new global order
DESCRIPTION:mέta\, the Centre for Postcapitalist Civilisation\, and Topos Books invite you to the book launch of “The End of the Great Deviation: From Ukraine and the pandemic to the shaping of the new global order” by Dimitris V. Peponis (Topos Books\, Series: mέta). \n\n\n\nPanel: \n\n\n\n\nCostas Isychos\, former Deputy Minister of Defence.\n\n\n\nVivi D. Kefala\, Professor of International Relations\, University of the Aegean\, Greece.\n\n\n\nKostas Koutsourelis\, author\, Neo Planodion\n\n\n\nNikos Xydakis\, former Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs\n\n\n\nSotiris Roussos\, Professor of International Relations\, University of the Peloponnese\n\n\n\n\nmέta’s Press Officer Kostas Raptis will host the event. The author\, Dimitris V. Peponis\, and the book’s co-editor & research director at mέta\, Sotiris Mitralexis\, will offer a comment. \n\n\n\nA few lines on the book: \n\n\n\n\nWhat kind of world will we live in? What era is dawning before us? \n\n\n\nWe are living through the sunset of a world order and the dawn of a new macro-historical cycle. \n\n\n\nTaking the war in Ukraine and the crisis of the pandemic as its starting point\, the book outlines the shaping of a new global order and discusses the completion of three different and partly overlapping historical cycles: the post-Cold War order (1991-)\, the post-war world (1945-) and a great era of human history (19th century-)\, the ‘Age of the Great Deviation’. By the middle of the 21st century\, and with 2037 as a landmark year\, the three historical cycles that have defined the metamorphoses of order during the last two centuries will have been completed: the Great Deviation will expire. \n\n\n\nFrom history to political geography\, from the completion of the American hegemonic period to the return of Asia\, from technology to demography\, and from modernity to postsecularism\, this book attempts a long-range dissection of developments\, with the aim of providing a tool for understanding the world-historical changes taking place on the cusp of the end of an era and the beginning of a new macro-historical cycle.

SUMMARY:Photography exhibition "Inside the Image" | opening on Thursday\, April 6 (19:00) at 1927 art space
DESCRIPTION:mέta | Centre for Postcapitalist Civilisation\, the Focus School of Photography\, and the non-governmental organization The HOME Project\, which was created to provide shelter and a holistic framework of child protection services to unaccompanied refugee children who arrive in Greece alone\, are pleased to invite you to the photography exhibition “Inside the Image”\, which opens on Thursday\, April 6 (19:00) at 1927 art space (35 Kypselis Street\, Athens 113 61) and will last until the 10th of April. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition presents the works resulting from the photography workshop with unaccompanied refugee minors as part of the three co-organizers’ partnership under the title “3X3”. \n\n\n\nBased on the triptych “art-training-integration“\, mέta\, Focus and The HOME Project collaborated and brought together teachers\, photography students\, and unaccompanied children\, in a process of mutual enrichment in professional or pre-professional skills\, but also of refinement of empathy and intercultural perspective. \n\n\n\nParticular emphasis was placed on the appropriate preparation\, training\, and support from The HOME Project’s Child Protection Unit to the participating students and photography teachers before and during the implementation of the project. \n\n\n\nFor mέta\, its involvement in this partnership is not only a gesture of moral and material support for the valuable work of The HOME Project but also an act of empowerment of the children in their social integration efforts. \n\n\n\nAs the head of the workshop Pavlos Fisakis notes: \n\n\n\n“This is a workshop that comments on the medium of photography itself. The authors are part of photography\, they are both inside and outside the photographic act itself. \n\n\n\nThe group meetings were held at the children’s home in Kypseli and the confidence of the photographic team was built with a lot of effort as the unaccompanied minors who participated spoke many different languages (Greek\, English\, Arabic\, and Farsi). \n\n\n\nThe overarching goal of the workshop is to communicate and convey the children’s messages through the photographic process\, to emphasise the importance of collaboration through group projects\, and to explore the critical issue of personal identity.” \n\n\n\nThe WORKSHOP took place from December 2022 to March 2023 \n\n\n\nCoordinator: Pavlos Fisakis | Assistant Coordinator: Ariana Darvis-Tabar \n\n\n\nOpening \n\n\n\nThursday 6 April\, 19:00 \n\n\n\nExhibition hours \n\n\n\n– Thursday 6 April\, 19:00 Opening \n\n\n\n– Friday 7 April\, 18:00 – 22:00 \n\n\n\n– Saturday 8 April\, 12:00 – 15:00 and 18:00 – 20:00 \n\n\n\n– Sunday 9 April\, 12:00 – 16:00 \n\n\n\n– Monday 10 April\, 18:00 – 22:00 \n\n\n\nAddress: \n\n\n\n1927 art space (35 Kypselis Street\, Athens 113 61) 1st floor \n\n\n\nInformation about the co-organisers \n\n\n\nmέta | Center for Post-Capitalist Civilisation (https://metacpc.org/en/) \n\n\n\nmέta is an international research and cultural organisation\, associated with the parliamentary party MeRA25\, the European movement DiEM25 and Progressive International. Founded as a civil non-profit company in 2020\, it aims to map eutopic alternatives to the post-capitalist condition we have entered\, through academic and artistic actions related to the political\, social\, economic\, ecological\, cultural\, and civilisational challenges of the times. \n\n\n\nFocus\, School of Photography & Video (https://www.focus.edu.gr) \n\n\n\nThe Focus School of Photography and Video was founded in 1985. The vision of the founders was to create a specialised and friendly environment\, dedicated exclusively to photographic education\, which would provide all the necessary skills to shape the artistic and professional identity of the prospective photographer. \n\n\n\nIn a modern space in Zografou\, with fully equipped studios and classrooms\, Focus now offers students the opportunity to develop their creativity in photography and video\, with equal emphasis on learning new technologies. \n\n\n\nFocus is constantly broadening its horizons and since 2010 has initiated a series of collaborations in educational programs and exhibitions with important cultural institutions and foundations such as the EMST (National Museum of Contemporary Art\, Αthens)\, the Michael Cacoyannis Foundation and the National Opera House. \n\n\n\nThe HOME Project (www.homeproject.org) \n\n\n\nThe HOME Project is a non-profit organisation created to provide support\, protection\, education\, and social integration services to refugee children who arrive in Greece on their own. In 6 years\, we have established and run 13 shelters with a capacity of 240 children\, where we provide a holistic framework of child protection services through an individualised psycho-educational plan for each child\, including mental health services\, education\, and pedagogical and social support aimed at social integration. So far\, we have supported more than 1\,000 children and have provided 170 jobs. \n\n\n\n1927 art space (www.1927online.art.blog) \n\n\n\nThe independent art space 1927 was founded by Aktina Stathakis and Jerome Simeon. It has been operating in Kypseli since 2019\, with the goal of promoting artistic research and international exchanges between independent artists. In its programming\, it seeks to engage with social and political reality and give space to stories often marginalised by mainstream narratives.

SUMMARY:Ithaca – A Fight to Free Julian Assange
DESCRIPTION:Screening at “Trianon” on Thursday 9 March (19.00) in the presence of Stella Morris-Assange \n\n\n\nAdmission is free \n\n\n\nThe most important political prisoner of our time remains for the fourth year in the maximum security prison of Belmarsh in Britain\, awaiting extradition to the USA where he is threatened with a 175-year prison sentence. The ‘crime’ for which Julian Assange is suffering this slow death sentence was his courageous contribution to exposing the war crimes and government corruption of the powerful of the earth. The defence of the founder of Wikileaks is currently the leading battle for freedom of speech internationally.mέta | Centre for Post-Capitalist Civilisation does not want to be absent from this battle. Besides\, this is given immediate political relevance by the repeatedly documented erosion of freedom and credibility of information in our country as well as by the undemocratic aberrations like the recent wiretapping scandal.It is for this reason that\, as part of mέta-cinema\, the feature-long documentary “Ithaka – A Fight to Free Julian Assange” (2021) by Ben Lawrence will be screened next Thursday\, March 9 at 7 p.m. at the “Trianon” cinema (21 Kodrigtonos Street\, Athens 104 34).And it is a great pleasure and honour for us to welcome the wife of the Wikileaks founder and pioneer of the fight for his release\, Stella Morris-Assange\, who will address the audience at the screening of the film\, together with the secretary of MeRA25 and co-founder of DiEM25 and the Progressive International\, Yanis Varoufakis. \n\n\n\nIn addition\, there will be an artistic intervention at the cinema hall by Miltos Manetas\, who has been working on a series of portraits of Julian Assange in recent years\, thus participating in the campaign for his release. \n\n\n\nIn the documentary “Ithaka”\, which was filmed over two years and incorporates archival and previously unknown material\, Ben Lawrence (creator of Ghosthunter\, Hearts and Bones\, among others) focuses on the “Odyssey” of Assange’s father\, John Shipton as he attempts to save his son\, travelling across Europe with Stella Morris-Assange to activate solidarity networks\, pressure political leaders and communicate the case.Ithaka has already been screened or awarded at the Sydney Film Festival in Australia in 2021\, Sheffield Doc Fest in the UK in 2022\, Doc Edge in New Zealand in 2022\, Human Rights Film Festival Berlin in Germany in 2022\, DOC NYC in the USA in 2022 and will be screened at the Thessaloniki International Documentary Festival on Wednesday 8 March 2023.The film has a running time of 110 minutes and will be subtitled in Greek. Admission is free.

SUMMARY:From Crisis to War: One Year Later
DESCRIPTION:Admission is free | Simultaneous interpretation will be provided.Information: 210 8848270Serafio of the Municipality of Athens (19 Echelidon & 144 Pireos St.) \n\n\n\nWednesday 22 February 2023\, at 7 p.m. \n\n\n\nmέta | Centre for Post-Capitalist Civilisation is organizing a public event on Wednesday\, February 22\, 2023 (7 p.m.) at the Serafio of the Municipality of Athens (19 Echelidon & 144 Piraeus St.) on the topic “From Crisis to War: A Year Later” with speakers Yanis Varoufakis (Professor at the University of Athens\, Secretary of Mera25\, co-founder of DiEM25)\, Angela Dimitrakakis (Senior Lecturer at the University of Edinburgh)\, Amineh Kakabaveh (former member of the Swedish Parliament) and Stathis Kouvelakis (former Reader in political theory at King’s College London).Also\, Danae Stratou (visual artist\, president of mέta’s Board of Directors) will present material from the international online participatory project “Open the Black Boxes”. \n\n\n\nOne year after the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine\, the reality of war is becoming entrenched on the international stage. And it is a war that is not only taking place locally but in fact globally. A war whose origins go back a long way and whose conduct is based not only on military but also on political\, informational and\, above all\, economic means. \n\n\n\nIt is not difficult to discern in this war the ‘metastasis’ of the capitalist crisis\, in which we have been immersed for a decade and a half\, the attempt to ‘escape’ violently from this crisis and to change\, just as violently\, the powerbalance within and between states. \n\n\n\nThe cost is of course being paid primarily by the peoples who have been experiencing the military conflict but not only by them. The energy and inflation crisis\, the new ‘sacrifices’ required of the unprivileged classes the deterioration of democracy and public debate are the imprint of war on our own societies. War is in a way the reality we are already living in. And that is without even taking into account the real possibility of the opening of ‘side fronts’ or the nightmare of a generalised confrontation\, possibly nuclear\, which is threatened as never since 1962. \n\n\n\nWhile the conflict takes on a self-fuelled escalation dynamic\, while statesmen and the vast majority of journalists indulge in bellicose discourse\, with no obvious ‘exit strategy’\, the virtual non-existence (at least compared to what existed up to the beginning of the century)\, of an international pacifist movement\, the dominance of conformist discourse\, and the embarrassment\, if not the division\, of the Left of all versions. \n\n\n\nIt is urgent that the debate be brought back into its full context. There is an urgent need to distance ourselves from the role of NATO or the Kremlin applauder. There is an urgent need to revitalise the pacifist movement. There is an urgent need to bring the aspirations of the peoples back to the fore. There is an urgent need to create a new Non-Aligned Movement and a more just international order. It is urgent to end the perpetuation of the war in Ukraine. At a time when such issues of principle are at stake\, getting bogged down in petty politics does not suit us.

SUMMARY:“The Cars We Drove Into Capitalism” will be shown by mέta\, in a special screening at Mikrokosmos cinema | on Monday\, February 13th\, 2023 | 20:00.
DESCRIPTION:Constantly pursuing the dialogue between art and political endeavour\, mέta | the Centre for Postcapitalist Civilisation proceeds with a series of films regularly screened in the multi-space facility of Mikrokosmos\, literally bringing in the centre of our attention a genre connected per se to this pursuit: cinema. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFree entry | With Greek subtitles \n\n\n\nWith the kind contribution of Greek and foreign creators\, who\, quite often\, work in stifling conditions\, mέta proposes to a wider public significant\, recent film productions\, which visualise but also critically problematise various aspects of the multi-faceted crisis surrounding us\, as well as pinpoint emancipatory alternatives. For\, quite often\, optical language proves to be much more eloquent than numerous written pages\, in the depiction of societal reality – at times\, riveting. \n\n\n\nmέta presents for a special screening in Greece the film\, “The Cars We Drove Into Capitalism” by Boris Missirkov and Georgi Bogdanov. \n\n\n\nDuring the Cold War\, almost every family in the Eastern Bloc treasured and impeccably maintained the car they had waited so long for. This film looks at the fascinating history of socialist automobiles based on select accounts which portray the events and hardships of the time with a touch of humour. The automobile was also seen as a means to an end against the imperialist class enemy. For most communist countries\, the car was an instrument of propaganda\, used to symbolise technological progress and the equality\, if not the superiority of their system. Even Western families were known to drive a Lada\, Wartburg\, Moskvitch\, Trabant\, Skoda or Zaz.  \n\n\n\nWe meet a young woman who was inspired by pin-up models\, a couple who drove to freedom in West Germany but had to abandon their beloved car on the last leg of their journey\, a former racing champion and automobile fanatic who turned his old banger into a luxury vehicle\, and many more. A cinematic journey that focuses attention on its heroes – both man and machine. \n\n\n\nThe screening will be followed by a discussion with the director and the film’s contributors. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFeature Documentary / Human InterestFilm by Boris Missirkov and Georgi BogdanovLength 93’/52’ HDCo-Production AGITPROP\, Saxonia Entertainment\, Danish Documentary Production\, Hulahop and Endorfilm with MDR/ARTE\, in association with DR and YLE\, with the support of Creative Europe MEDIA\, Danish Film Institute\, Croatian Audiovisual Centre\, Czech Film Fund\, Bulgarian National Film CenterOriginal Title The Cars We Drove Into CapitalismYear 2021 \n\n\n\nCinema Mikrokosmos Address: Leof.

SUMMARY:Iannis Xenakis: The sound born from an explosion of History
DESCRIPTION:Musical intersections on stage \n\n\n\nAthens Conservatoire “Aris Garoufalis” HallSunday 18/12/22 at 20:00 \n\n\n\nEntrance: 5€ | Pre-sale: ticketservices.gr \n\n\n\nAs the “Xenakis’ Year” draws to a close\, mέta | the Centre for Post-Capitalist Civilisation commemorates the centenary of the birth of the multi-dimensional composer\, architect\, and thinker\, Iannis Xenakis\, in the month that was the most decisive for his personal itinerary: December\, the month of the “Battle of Athens”. \n\n\n\nIannis Xenakis (1922-2001) pioneered\, as is well known\, an artistic revolution\, bridging music with mathematics\, 20th-century experimentation with ancient Greek thought. But as a young man\, he also participated (and this should not be silenced) in a popular resistance movement with revolutionary characteristics\, the crushing of which shaped the malformed physiognomy of post-war Greece. For Xenakis of the “Byron Battalion”\, the “Battle of December” was the moment of his severe injury in Exarcheia district\, the precursor of his subsequent forced expatriation with a death sentence on him\, and\, overall\, the historical turning point at which the expectations of his pioneering generation were refuted. \n\n\n\nFor mέta\, which aspires to combine the language of artistic creation with theat of political-theoretical argument\, the holistic approach to the life and work of Iannis Xenakis is an opportunity to reflect anew on the meeting points between art and technology\, intellectuality and aesthetic pleasure\, musical breakthrough and political radicalism\, “avant-garde” and “popularity”\, beyondthe limitations of laboratory or museum mentality. \n\n\n\nConviced that Xenakis can “converse” with contemporary currents\, starting from experimental music and reaching up to rap\, we attempt an original “meeting on stage”\, in the event organised on Sunday\, December 18\, at 20:00 at the Athens Conservatoire (17-19 Vas. Georgiou B’\, “Aris Garoufalis” Hall)\, with the participation of Pavlos Antoniadis\, Orestis Karamanlis\, Georgia Spiropoulos and MC Yinka. The event is curated by Makis Solomos. \n\n\n\n The programme \n\n\n\nFirst part:“The ‘Battle of December‘ and the injury of Xenakis”. Screenings and narratives with Orestis Karamanlis and Makis Solomos. \n\n\n\nInteractive musical performance by Orestis Karamanlis based on the GENDYN programme by Iannis Xenakis. \n\n\n\nSecond part:Evryali (1973) by Iannis Xenakis. Pavlos Antoniadis on piano.Evryali with enhanced images (projection).Eror (the pianist)\, excerpt\, by Georgia SpyropoulosAn absolutely imaginary space by MC Yinca \n\n\n\nA discussion with the contributors will follow \n\n\n\n— \n\n\n\nContributors \n\n\n\n\nPavlos Antoniadis: Pianist and musicologist\, Dr. University of Strasbourg-IRCAM\, a researcher at EUR-ArTeC\, University of Paris 8.

SUMMARY:Book launch: ‘NO BOSSES - A New Economy for a Better World’ by Michael Albert\, in Greek (TOPOS Books & mέta)
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday 10 December at 6pm\, TOPOS Books and mέta | the Centre for Postcapitalist Civilisation invite you to Red ‘n’ Noir (52 Drosopoulou Str\, Kypseli\, Athens) for the book launch of Michael Albert’s ‘NO BOSSES – A New Economy for a Better World’ (prefaces by Noam Chomsky and Yanis Varoufakis)  in Greek\, published by TOPOS Books & mέta \n\n\n\nThe book will be presented and discussed by: \n\n\n\n\nKleoniki Alexopoulou\, lecturer at the Department of Political Science and History\, Panteion University\, Panteion University.\n\n\n\nKonstantinos Poulis\, journalist\, The Press Project.\n\n\n\nDionysios Skliris\, adj. lecturer at the Hellenic Open University\, translator of the book\n\n\n\nModeration: Sotiris Mitralexis\, mέta\n\n\n\n\nA few words on the book: \n\n\n\n\nLife under capitalism. Rampant debilitating denial for the many next to vile enrichment of the few. Material deprivation\, denial\, and denigration. Dignity defiled. Michael Albert’s book No Bosses advocates for the conception and then organization of a new economy. The vision offered is called participatory economics. It elevates self-management\, equity\, solidarity\, diversity\, and sustainability. It eliminates elitist\, arrogant\, dismissive\, authoritarian\, exploitation\, competition\, and homogenization. No Bosses proposes a built and natural productive commons\, self-management by all who work\, income for how long\, how hard\, and the onerousness of conditions of socially valued work\, jobs that give all economic actors comparable means and inclination to participate in decisions that affect them\, and a process called participatory planning in which caring behavior and solidarity are the currency of collective and individual success. \n\n\n\n\nMichael Albert is a founder and current member of the staff of Z Magazine as well as staff of Z Magazine`s web system: ZCom. Albert`s radicalization occurred during the 1960s. His political involvements\, starting then and continuing to the present\, have ranged from local\, regional\, and national organizing projects and campaigns to co-founding South End Press\, Z Magazine\, the Z Media Institute\, and ZNet\, and to working on all these projects\, writing for various publications and publishers\, giving public talks\, etc. Albert is the author of 21 books. Most recently these include: No Bosses: A New Economy for a Better World (Zero Books\, 2021)\, Fanfare for the Future (ZBooks)\, Remembering Tomorrow (Seven Stories Press)\, Realizing Hope (Zed Press) and Parecon: Life After Capitalism (Verso). Many of Albert`s articles are stored in ZCom and can be accessed there along with hundreds of other Z Magazine and ZNet articles essays\, interviews\, etc. \n\n\n\nMichael Albert sends the following message to the Greek audience on the occasion of the Greek translation and publication: \n\n\n\n\nI boundlessly celebrate the publication of a Greek translation of “No Bosses: A New Economy for a Better World” by Topos Books in collaboration with the wonderful Centre for Postcapitalist Civilisation\, mέta. Greece\, like so many other places\, including my U.S.\, not only confronts a very dangerous economic\, political\, and ecological future\, but also a potentially equitable\, self managing\, and green one. Moreover\, Greece’s population\, I think like people everywhere\, is steadily realising as much. So “No Bosses” in Greek is timely. Like any book’s author\, I of course want the ideas conveyed by “No Bosses” to reach widely\, be critically assessed and refined\, and be shared. But with a book presenting a postcapitalist vision\, this desire is really the whole point. Emerging from past practice and seeking to aid future practice\, a book like this has merit only insofar as it facilitates and promotes further thoughtful strategic activism today and into the future. That is what mέta stands for and so too the book “No Bosses”. I hope it proves useful in Greece\, as I hope it proves useful wherever folks seek to move beyond capitalism. \n– Michael Albert

SUMMARY:Left and ‘governability’: what engagement with power\, on which terms and for whose benefit?
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday 15 November\, 19.00\, in the Greek language\,at “Trianon” cinema (Kodringtonos 21) \n\n\n\nFree Admission | reservations: bit.ly/aristerakyv \n\n\n\nIn recent years the Left\, however we define it\, has attempted\, not only in Greece but also in other European countries\, to take up the challenge of governing in the midst of an unprecedented neoliberal attack on the subordinate classes. These ventures have been by and large a failure and no serious evaluation of them has been ventured in retrospect. There is ‘strategic silence’\, if not adherence to the principles of the opponent\, while the social strata in whose name the left speaks are plunged into degradation and passivisation\, subjected to the blackmail of supporting the ‘lesser evil’ or simply avoiding the notorious ‘ungovernability’. \n\n\n\nIn this light\, mέta | the Centre for Post-Capitalist Culture considers it urgent to return to the strategic debate\, repelled by the absorption of an increasingly repulsive “political current affairs”. A return to the theoretical conquests (and unanswered questions) of the Left\, as well as the invention in the new conditions of crisis of original forms of organization and political practice. \n\n\n\nIn this spirit\, mέta is organizing on Tuesday\, November 15\, at 19.00\, at the “Trianon” cinema (21 Kodrigtonos Street\, Athens 104 34) an event on “Left and “Governability”. \n\n\n\nSpeakers: \n\n\n\nSissy Velissariou\, Professor at the University of Athens\, Vice-Chair of mέta’s Steering Committee.Yannis Kouzis\, Professor at Panteion University.Alexis Smyrlis\, Director of MeRA25’s Policy Planning and Director of MeRA25’s parliamentary group.Panagiotis Sotiris\, PhD in Philosophy\, adjunct lecturer at the Hellenic Open University\, journalistThemis Tzimas\, PhD in Public Law\, lecturer at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki \n\n\n\nWith an in intervention by Yanis Varoufakis\, Professor at the University of Athens\, MeRA25 Secretary\, co-founder of DiEM25 \n\n\n\nModerator:Sotiris Mitralexis\, PhD in Political Science\, mέta’s research director

SUMMARY:"The Precariat: The New Dangerous Class" | Guy Standing talks with Yanis Varoufakis
DESCRIPTION:Monday 31Oct 2022\, 19:00. \n\n\n\nOn the occasion of the translation of his book “The Precariat: The New Dangerous Class” into Greek\, as part of the new publishing series of mέta | Centre for Postcapitalist Civilisation at Topos Publications\, author Guy Standing\, professor at SOAS\, talks with Yanis Varoufakis about the socio-political challenges of the diffusion of labour precarity. \n\n\n\nSotiris Mitralexis\, PhD in Political Science\, Director of the Academic Department of the mέta | Centre for Postcapitalist Civilisation\, introduces and moderates. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nPlyfa Industrial Park\, 39 Korytsas Street\, Athens 104 47 \n\n\n\nFree entrance | registration https://bit.ly/3ER57h2 \n\n\n\nSimultaneous interpretation from English. \n\n\n\nThe term precariat is a commonplace of political and social analysis today – yet the book that introduced it had not been previously translated into our language. First published in 2011\, Guy Standing’s The Precariat is the first account of an emerging class of people facing unprecedented insecurity\, moving in and out of precarious jobs that give zero prospects and little meaning to their lives as well. In addition to the miserable life that the present mutation of capitalism has in store for the precariat\, the internal divisions of the precariat have led to greater overall social instability\, e.g.\, by targeting immigrants or other vulnerable groups and strengthening political extremism. Standing argues for a new politics that puts the fears and aspirations of the precariat at the heart of a progressive strategy of redistribution and income security. \n\n\n\nThe translation of Guy Standing’s book into Greek\, as part of the recently launched series of mέta | Center for Postcapitalist Civilisation at Topos Publications\, is accompanied by a new preface in which the author discusses the recent political developments of the Covid-19 pandemic and its implications for the precariat. \n\n\n\nAfter ten years of economic crisis and memorandum\, two years of pandemic and the war emergency that is currently spreading with increasing consequences for energy\, inflation\, expensiveness\, and\, by extension\, work\, “The Precariat” could not be more relevant\, – in today’s Greece\, as well. \n\n\n\nGuy Standing is an economist\, professor and SOAS research fellow at the University of London. He is also an Honorary Professor at the University of Sydney\, a PhD from the University of Cambridge\, a Fellow of the British Academy of Social Sciences and the Royal Society of Arts\, co-founder and Honorary Co-Chair of the Global Basic Income Earth Network (BIEN)\, a member of the Progressive Economy Forum\, and a member of the Advisory Board of the mέta | Centre for Postcapitalist Civilisation. In 2016-19 he was an advisor to the UK opposition Treasury candidate John McDonnell. He served as director of the Socio-Economic Security Programme of the International Labour Organization. He advised a number of international agencies\, was director of research for Nelson Mandela’s Market and Labour Policies Committee as chairman\, and implemented his basic income proposals in a number of pilot programmes. \n\n\n\nHis books include “The Precariat” ( translated into 25 languages)\, “The Corruption of Capitalism” (third edition\, 2021)\, “Basic Income: How to Achieve It” (in Greek from Papasotiriou Publications)\, “Plunder of the Commons” (2019)\, and “The Blue Commons: Rescuing the Economy of the Sea” (2022). In 2020 he collaborated with Massive Attack on a video based on his book “Battling Eight Giants: Basic Income Now” (2020). \n\n\n\nmέta | Center for Postcapitalist Civilisation was founded in 2020 as international research and artistic organisation\, affiliated with the MέPA25 party\, the DiEM25 movement\, and Progressive International. It aims to map emancipatory alternatives to the post-capitalist dystopia that opens up before us. The mέta’s actions so far include the publication of working papers\, the creation of a special editorial series in “Topos” publications\, the holding of workshops and roundtables\, film screenings in the context of mέta-cinema and the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People\, the production of a weekly radio show and the mέta-boulouki artistic tour in the summers of 2021 and 2022.

DESCRIPTION:Admission Free.16-04-2022\, 14:00 Athens timeReservations at: bit.ly/20xroniae or by phone at 210.8847571 (10:00 to 16:00 Monday to Friday). \n\n\n\nThe introduction of the euro (exactly twenty years ago as Greece’s currency) was presented as a big promise of economic convergence and well-being\, in the spirit of the even bigger promise of permanent peace in the European continent. However\, as is all too evident by now\, the euro was instrumental in dividing rather than uniting Europe\, and it put in action centrifugal forces that undermined unification – a prerequisite for a common European foreign policy and defense policy. Today\, in the context of the biggest military conflict on European soil since decades\, a critical re-evaluation of the twenty-year-long history of the common currency is more urgent than ever.In the colloquium organised by mέta on the 16th of April at the Athens’ Technopolis’ we analyse the introduction of the common currency\, its impact during the last two decades\, its geopolitical\, ideological\, and cultural dimensions while contemplating alternatives in the era of digital money.  \n\n\n\nParticipants:  \n\n\n\nMark Blyth is the William R. Rhodes Professor of International Economics and Professor of International and Public Affairs at Brown University\, author of Austerity: The History of a Dangerous Idea (Oxford University Press\, 2013)\, and co-editor of The Future of the Euro (Oxford University Press 2015).Nicholas Theocarakis is a Professor of Political Economy and History of Economic Thought at the University of Athens. He has co-authored Modern Political Economics: Making sense of the post-2008 world with Yanis Varoufakis and Joseph Halevi.Yanis Varoufakis MP is a Professor of Economic Theory at the University of Athens\, Secretary of Greece’s parliamentary party MeRA25\, and co-founder of DiEM25. \n\n\n\nPROGRAMME\n\n\n\n14.00-14.15 – Welcome and introductions \n\n\n\n14.15 -15.30 – Nicholas Theocarakis: The history and political economy of the common currency that weakened Europe | Q&A with the audience \n\n\n\n15.30-15.40 BREAK \n\n\n\n15.40-16.00 Stephanie Kelton: The euro from the perspective of Modern Monetary Theory – via videolink \n\n\n\n16.00-17.30 – Mark Blyth: The euro – an assessment in the midst of a European war| Q&A with Yanis Varoufakis and the audience \n\n\n\n17.30-19.00 – Yanis Varoufakis: Alternatives in the age of digital money | Q&A with the audience

SUMMARY:"A most surprising Anti-War Libertarian-Communist Manifesto"
DESCRIPTION:Reservations at 210.8847571 (10:00 με 16:00) \n\n\n\nThe boundaries of political imagination are also those of our struggles for an emancipated society. And nowhere also has the modern world given imagination so much liberty as in aspects of mass culture – not so in the sophisticated one\, though. \n\n\n\nFrom the realms of the entertainment industry\, often disguised as science fiction\, some inspirations spring up occasionally\, and they are worthy of our serious political thinking and action\, so that we bring back to Earth and our turbulent present the “futuristic visions” that a series like Star Trek placed somewhere in the infinite space. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBeing the most influential series of the sci-fi genre worldwide since the ‘60s\, Star Trek pioneered the abolition of racial and gender stereotypes on the screen. However\, at a closer analysis\, it proves to be an excellent guide so that we can envision an alternative societal organization\, beyond the present\, techno-feudalistic dystopia. \n\n\n\nThus\, the Centre for Postcapitalist Civilisation (mέta) is inviting two of the most devoted trekkies in Greece\, Yanis Varoufakis and Mithridatis\, to present six Star Trek episodes each\, commenting on and discussing their political\, economic and philosophical content. \n\n\n\nThis most promising exchange of viewpoints between a music creator and an economist and politician\, on the basis of their shared love for Star Trek\, will take place live on Wednesday 23rd March 2022\, at 20:00\, in Trianon Cinema (21 Kodriktonos\, Athens\, 104 34). \n\n\n\nFree admission\, according to state covid measures. \n\n\n\nmέta team

SUMMARY:meta-cinema: premiere 15/3/22\, 20:00 pm at Mikrokosmos\, Oleanders a film by Paola Revenioti
DESCRIPTION:Constantly pursuing the dialogue between art and political endeavour\, the Centre for Postcapitalist Civilisation (mέta) proceeds with a series of films regularly screened in the multi-space facility of Mikrokosmos\, literally bringing in the centre of our attention a genre connected per se to this pursuit: cinema. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWith the kind contribution of Greek and foreign creators\, who\, quite often\, work in stifling conditions\, mέta proposes to a wider public significant\, recent film productions\, which visualise but also critically problematise various aspects of the multi-faceted crisis surrounding us\, as well as pinpoint emancipatory alternatives. For\, quite often\, optical language proves to be much more eloquent than numerous written pages\, in the depiction of societal reality – at times\, riveting. \n\n\n\nPaola Revenioti’s “Oleanders” is a nightly tour\, guided by Betty Vakalidou\, Eva Koumarianou\, and the filmmaker\, through the districts of Athens where trans women’s sex work used to flourish. Their nostalgic\, often humorous and at times rough narrative witnesses the sexual codes\, the struggle for self-identification\, and the resistance towards exclusion that marked trans people’s lives in Greece from the ’70s to the ’90s. \n\n\n\nDirection: Paola Revenioti/Featuring: Betty Bakalidou\, Eua Koumarianou\, Paola Revenioti/Co-directed and Cinematography: Elpiniki Voutsa Rentzepopoulou\, Alexandros Synodinos\, Vangelis Tsakas\, Yorgos Gkonos\, Alexandros Kotsenos/Editing: Christina Lagouri\, Alexandros Synodinos /Music: Opera di Bestia /Research: Eliza Triantafyllou\, Danai Maragoudaki/Production supervisor: Margarita Κ. Chomatianou/DCP: L’ Azur De La Mer I.K.E.\, Shooting Fish ® Productions/Contact: Vasilis Thanasis/Translation: Renée Molho/Production: © Paola Team Documentaries\, 2020 \n\n\n\nmέta is a civil-non-profit research and cultural institution\, related to the political party MeRA25\, the European movement DiEM25\, and Progressive International. It was established in 2020\, aiming to explore eutopic alternatives to the postcapitalist era in which we are already living\, through academic and cultural actions regarding the political\, social\, economic\, ecological\, cultural\, and civilisational challenges of our times. \n\n\n\nCine Mikrokosmos (member of Europa Cinemas) was born in the fall of 2004\, on Syngrou Avenue\, opposite ex-Fix Industry\, equipped with state – of the – art technology and with a unique architectural approach. Having hosted numerous festivals and tributes\, without ever standing off from first-rate promotions\, committed to cinephile choices\, and particularly hospitable to independent Greek productions\, Mikrokosmos has created its own audience and is chosen for its ideal show conditions\, its careful selections\, and\, occasionally\, for its autonomous bar\, which operates in the foyer at affordable prices and cinematic ambiance. \n\n\n\nPaola Revenioti\, is a Greek trans woman\, filmmaker\, publisher\, radio producer\, activist and pioneer of the Greek LGBT movement. From a young age and due to the social exclusion of trans people from work\, she made a living as a sex worker. \n\n\n\nmeta team

SUMMARY:mέta-cinema: premiere 12/2/22 17:30pm at mikrokosmos\, Digger\, a film by G. Grigorakis
DESCRIPTION:Constantly pursuing the dialogue between art and political endeavour\, the Centre for Postcapitalist Civilisation (mέta) proceeds with a series of films regularly screened in the multi-space facility of Mikrokosmos\, literally bringing in the centre of our attention a genre connected per se to this pursuit: cinema. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWith the kind contribution of Greek and foreign creators\, who\, quite often\, work in stifling conditions\, mέta proposes to a wider public significant\, recent film productions\, which visualise but also critically problematise various aspects of the multi-faceted crisis surrounding us\, as well as pinpoint emancipatory alternatives. For\, quite often\, optical language proves to be much more eloquent than numerous written pages\, in the depiction of societal reality – at times\, riveting. \n\n\n\nAnd the first step of this multi-month wandering\, as we aspire\, takes place on February 12\, 2022 at 17:30 with the film Digger. The award-winning film by George Grigorakis\, which received 14 nominations for the Iris Awards of the Hellenic Film Academy\, although presents a fictional story\, comes up as a valuable testimony to the abuse of the Greek nature\, the reversal of social relations but also the activation of primordial resistance against the mining industry’s invasion\, which our (post) memorandum dystopia projects as the royal path for “development”. \n\n\n\nmέta is a civil-non-profit research and cultural institution\, related to the political party MeRA25\, the European movement DiEM25\, and Progressive International. It was established in 2020\, aiming to explore eutopic alternatives to the postcapitalist era in which we are already living\, through academic and cultural actions regarding the political\, social\, economic\, ecological\, cultural\, and civilisational challenges of our times. \n\n\n\nCine Mikrokosmos (member of Europa Cinemas) was born in the fall of 2004\, on Syngrou Avenue\, opposite ex-Fix Industry\, equipped with state – of the – art technology and with a unique architectural approach.

He has written and directed many short films\, which have won international attention and awards at over a hundred film festivals. \n\n\n\nDIGGER\, his first feature film\, was developed through Nipkow Scholarships\, Cannes Cinefondation Residency and the Sundance Institute. \n\n\n\nIt premiered at the 70th Berlinale where it won the CICAE Art Cinema Award\, was awarded the Best Actor Award in Sarajevo and continued its successful run at internationally recognized festivals around the world (AFI\, Busan\, Melbourne\, Philadelphia\, São Paolo\, Gifa\, Haifa others). He won the Special Commission Award – Silver Alexander and four more awards in Thessaloniki. Winned 10 Iris Awards of the Hellenic Film Academy (Best Film\, Direction\, Screenplay).

SUMMARY:Yanis Varoufakis interviews Omar Barghouti
DESCRIPTION:While the massacre in Gaza is ongoing\, and the repression of Palestinians everywhere is intensifying\, how can progressives show meaningful solidarity with those suffering from\, and struggling against\, Israel’s regime of occupation\, settler-colonialism and apartheid? Looking to a future worth fighting for\, is this the time for a SINGLE DEMOCRATIC STATE for Jews and Palestinians? Is the two-state solution the right objective for progressives or a formalisation of apartheid? To discuss these questions\, on Monday 24th May 2021 at 19.30BST\, 20.30 CET\, 21.30EET Yanis Varoufakis\, MeRA25 leader and DiEM25 co-founder\, will interview Omar Barghouti\, co-founder of the BDS movement for Palestinian rights (*)\, co-recipient of the 2017 Ghandi Peace Award.  \n\n\n\n(*) BDS has emerged as a consensus movement that is increasingly recognized around the world\, by trade unions\, social movements\, racial and climate justice groups\, churches\, among others\, as the most effective form of solidarity with the Palestinian struggle for freedom\, justice and equality. Instead of adopting a specific political solution\, it strategically focuses on ending international complicity in Israel’s system of oppression\, as was done in the struggle to end South African apartheid.

SUMMARY:Launch & Streaming Premiere: mέta — Centre for Postcapitalist Civilisation
DESCRIPTION:Imagine the world anew\, together. \n\n\n\nFree admission \n\n\n\nThrough a sequence of intensifying crises\, capitalism has already morphed into a dystopian postmodern\, hi-tech version of feudalism. Postcapitalism is\, thus\, already here.  \n\n\n\nThrough art and research\, argument and poetry\, mέta\, the Centre for Postcapitalist Civilisation\, works to break with a dystopic present to imagine the world anew – to grasp our present historical moment so as to help radical progressive movements find a path from the emergent dismal postcapitalism to one worth fighting\, and living\, for. \n\n\n\nThe Centre for Postcapitalist Civilisation (mέta) introduces itself to the public and the media\, presenting its aims\, its activities and its people from Greece and abroad\, in a hybrid event with artistic performances\, which will be live-streamed on Thursday 13 May at 8pm Athens time (UTC +3). The launching event was produced by mέta’s team and directed by Vassilis Koundouris and Violet Louise of Studio19st\, as well as the performances directed by Dimitris Zografakis and the introductory animation by Yokanima (Yorgos Karagiorgos).   \n\n\n\nmέta’s Advisory Board members sharing their views on postcapitalism: \n\n\n\nNoam Chomsky (Linguist\, philosopher\, MIT)\, Brian Eno (Musician and Visual Artist)\, iLiana Fokianaki (Founder and Artistic Director\, State of Concept Athens). \n\n\n\nJames K. Galbraith (Economist & Professor of Government\, University of Austin\, Texas)\, Antara Haldar (Empirical Legal Studies\, University of Cambridge)\, Srećko Horvat (Philosopher\, writer and activist)\, Anish Kapoor (Sculptor)\, Ken Loach (Filmmaker)\, Beral Madra (Art critic and curator)\, Preethi Nallu (Writer\, Filmmaker\, Advocacy Specialist)\, Shirin Neshat & Shoja Azari (filmmakers and visual artists)\, Nikos Papastergiadis (Professor\, School of Culture and Communication\, University of Melbourne)\, Mari Velonaki (Social Robotics Researcher\, University of New South Wales & media artist)\, Nikos Theocharakis (Professor of economic theory\, University of Athens)\, Paul Tyson (Senior Research Fellow\, IASH\, University of Queensland)\, Yanis Varoufakis (MP\, MeRA25 Secretary\, Economics professor\, University of Athens).  \n\n\n\nArtistic performances are offered by the theatre group “Astronauts\,” Angeliki Nikolakaki and Tina Gourtzi\, as well as Vassilis Koundouris and Violet Louise of Studio19st. \n\n\n\nA press conference straight from the Athenian theatre Ilisia will follow\, with \n\n\n\nDanae Stratou — Chair\, mέta \n\n\n\nSissy Velissariou — Vice-Chair\, mέta \n\n\n\nSotiris Mitralexis — Academic Director\, mέta\, \n\n\n\nNikos Kanarelis — Cultural Director\, mέta. \n\n\n\nPresenters of the event: Maria Karakitsou and Niki Sereti \n\n\n\nHost: Kostas Raptis — Press Officer\, mέta \n\n\n\n**** \n\n\n\nCentre for Postcapitalist Civilisation – mέta: an introduction \n\n\n\nWe are already in the early stages of an era that can only be described by that which it succeeds: we live in postcapitalist times. They may turn out dystopic\, utopic or anything in between. Through art and research\, argument and poetry\, mέta\, the Centre for Postcapitalist Civilisation\, works to break with a dystopic present to imagine the world anew – to grasp our present historical moment so as to help radical progressive movements find a path from the emergent dismal postcapitalism to one worth fighting\, and living\, for. \n\n\n\nThe Centre for Postcapitalist Civilisation –mέta– was established in 2020 as a not-for-profit research organisation in order to facilitate the exchange of ideas in a radical direction and to support the pan-European movement DiEM25\, the Greek political party MeRA25\, and the Progressive International (all of which are represented in mέta’s Steering Committee). mέta seeks to employ a dual approach\, combining the academic/political/educational with the cultural and the artistic. mέta’s activities include research and publishing initiatives\, the organisation of festivals\, seminars\, workshops and events –academic and cultural/artistic alike– focusing on the political\, social\, economic\, ecological and cultural dimensions of the challenges we face at the national\, European\, and global level. Its current Steering Committee includes Danae Stratou (Chair)\, Professor Sissy Velissariou (Vice-Chair)\, Eleni Spetsioti (Secretary)\, Michael Hatzitheodorou (Treasurer)\, Ivana Nenadović and David Adler (members). More on its international Advisory Board may be found here. \n\n\n\nAddress: Mavrommateon 15\, 10434 Athens\, Greece \n\n\n\nhttp://metacpc.org
