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: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.
