The decrease as an alternative to over-design of cities

The decrease as an alternative to excess design of cities

Architecture
October 14, 2010

Francesco Cingolani

would like to share with readers and authors of The Living City my thoughts on the subject of Décroissance - or decline - inspired in part by some

texts published in this blog. My intention is to focus on the relationship between the decrease and the role in the future, could play an architect.

these reflections I would start with a phrase Kate Soper I found in a text by Serge Latouche [1] which states, precisely, a view was expressed that a long time: "Those who advocate a less materialistic consumption are often presented as ascetics Puritans trying to give a spiritual orientation to the needs and pleasures. But this view is misleading for several reasons. We could say that the modern consumer is not concerned enough about the pleasures of the flesh, which is not involved in sensory experience, which is too obsessed by a range of products that filter sensory and erotic pleasures and take us away from them. Much of the goods that we consider essential to a high standard of living are more anesthetic that favors a sensual experience, more greedy than generous in terms of friendliness, good-neighborly relations, unstressed life, silence, smell and beauty ... a green consumer not involve either a reduction in living standards, not a mass conversion to the extra-worldliness, but rather a different concept of what living means. " Why this text I find it significant? is mainly due to the common misconception that generates the notion of decline, often confused with a sense of sacrifice or resignation for reasons of ethics or survival. Soper gets a confusion yet to overcome: the decrease would not involve "giving up" as the only solution to save themselves, but should be interpreted in positive terms, as a way to increase our standard of living. In our materialistic culture decline word has a negative connotation, so we tend to relate to a deadweight loss. As if our ideal be to continue to consume as before, but unable to do so, the most viable solution was to try to decrease.

Soper's paragraph is to express the opposite of this idea. This would not be an end of development, but a final development of consumerism and materialism.

Cheynet

Vincent believes "the ecological crisis is primarily a sign of political impasse, cultural, philosophical and spiritual development of our civilization" [2]. I propose adding to this analytical account of the crisis, another of a more operational: the economic and ecological crisis offers us an opportunity to improve our quality of life.

believe that as architects, we feel the need to move the scope of the analysis to action. An architect, to be someone who builds, is someone capable of turning thoughts into actions analytical space. It is therefore important to understand the nuances that emerge from the theory of decline, its understanding as a model of progress and development not waiver. This change in perspective undeniably affect at the time approaching, the way of making architecture.
"What would happen if the school taught us to deconstruct rather than to build?"

Ethel Baraona raised this question in an article
header I reproduce the picture above. The poetic and symbolic impact of this photograph is certainly extraordinary: the translation technocentric system image that is collapsing, thereby requiring the emergence of new patterns of worldview.
The debate launched by Ethel've generated lots of comments and discussions about the end of deconstruction, designed by Jacques Derrida. My intention in this paper is however to move the debate to the idea of \u200b\u200bnon-construction and the implications that generate the concept of the architect's work. Both
commentary article in Baraona how to create stories
, as the article "

Do nothing, urgently " Ion Cuervas-Mons, remind us an example of non-construction of an impact similar to that cited above: Lacaton architects and Vassal, after an analysis of the square Léon Aucoc of Bordeaux, decided that their project would "do nothing". The place was in itself a beautiful place where people feel good, a place with a daily life of quality. No-construction? This example of "do nothing" also leads me to an interview with Rem Koolhaas. In it, naturally speaking and artificiality, explained as "the architecture is discussed in a permanent doubt .[...] duality between the city has been distorted by over-design. The design as a means of exclusion. " This statement made by one of the most important architects of the star system, automatically makes me think the picture of the wind, something that falls to the ground with resignation as heralding a change. The designer himself acknowledges a problem in the "over-design." Suddenly this sentence mixing with paragraph Kate Soper, we could say that too much design is more stingy than generous in terms of friendliness, relations good neighborliness, of life away from the stress of silence, smell and beauty. These reflections surprisingly fit with a vision of the city where the horizontal management and the creation of citizens coexist with a network of centralized powers. What I call white public spaces, and

Domenico Di Siena

called public spaces unfinished space is the translation of this new understanding of urban and citizenship. White spaces, characterized by its unfinished state, are in production-defined: no user action-citizens, these spaces do not end up to exist.

Therefore, it would pass such a vision of producer / consumer, in which the architect and his client spaces occur - "over design" - and the city consumes, to a system of prosumers integrated into the political, administrative and urban cities. In this sense, the architect would not be a producer / constructor and defined more as a manager / administrator of space, or perhaps as a designer of urban processes and a catalyst for citizenship and vitality. Their activities would be also more extensive: the architect would not be limited to construct or "making things" but rather to analyze, advise, opinions and perhaps produce only at the end, to build or simply to "do (almost) anything." In recent years speaks volumes about hybrid spaces. I think all of the above suggests that the architectural profession should also hybridize, go from being a clear and focused profession a diffuse and extensive. The architect is thus transformed into the point of interconnection between citizens, politicians, space and creativity.

All this leads me to think that the philosopher

Lorenzo Giacomini
, in a conference presentation

Urban
Hybridization in Milan, was right when they proposed to use the hybrid not as an aesthetic category, but as an ontological principle. That is, as something that characterizes all there, which means it can run as a tool for understanding and action in the contemporary world. REFERENCES [1] Bernard, Michel et al.

Difference Between Foreign And Second Language

Noam Chomsky and the Media 10 Handling Strategies

Noam Chomsky and the Media 10 Handling Strategies

The linguist Noam Chomsky developed the list of "10 Strategies for handling" through media

1. The strategy of distraction.

The key element of social control is the distraction strategy is to divert public attention of significant issues and changes determined by the political and economic elites, by the technique of continuous deluge or flood of distractions and trivial information. The strategy of distraction is also essential to keep the public interested in the essential knowledge in the area of \u200b\u200bscience, economics, psychology, neurobiology and cybernetics. "Keeping distracted public attention away from the real social problems, captivated by matters of no real importance. Keep the public busy, busy, busy, no time to think back to farm and other animals (citing the text 'Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars). "

2. Create problems and then offer solutions.

This method is also called "problem-reaction-solution." It creates a problem, a "situation" provided to cause a reaction in the audience, so this is the principal of the actions you want to accept. For example: let it unfold and intensify urban violence, or arrange for bloody attacks, so that the public is the applicant's security laws and policies to the detriment of freedom. Or: create an economic crisis to gain acceptance as a necessary evil retreat of social rights and the dismantling of public services.

3. The strategy of gradualism.

To make it accept an unacceptable degree, just apply it gradually, in dribs and drabs, for consecutive years. That is how they radically new socioeconomic conditions (neoliberalism) were imposed during the 1980 and 1990: minimal state, privatization, precariousness, flexibility, mass unemployment, wages no longer ensure a decent income, so many changes that have caused a revolution if they had been applied once.

4. The strategy of deferring.

Another way to accept an unpopular decision is to present it as "painful and necessary", gaining public acceptance at the time, for future application. It is easier to accept a future sacrifice a slaughter. First, because the effort is not used immediately. Then, because the public, mass, always has the tendency to expect naively that "everything will be better tomorrow" and that the sacrifice required may be avoided. This gives the public more time to get used to the idea of \u200b\u200bchange and accept it with resignation when the time comes.

5. Address the public as little child.

Most advertising uses for the general public discourse, argument, people and particularly children's intonation, often close to the weakness, as if the viewer were a little child or a poor mental. The more you try seek to deceive the viewer, the more it tends to adopt a tone infantilising. Why? "If one goes to a person as if she had the age of 12 years or less, then, due to suggestibility, it will tend, with some probability, a response or reaction is also devoid of a critical sense as a person 12 years or younger (see "Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars"). "

6. Using the more emotional than reflection.

Making use of emotional is a classic technique to cause a short circuit on rational analysis, and finally to the critical sense of the individual. Moreover, the use of emotional register opens the door to the unconscious for implantation or grafting ideas, desires, fears and doubts, compulsions, or induce behaviors ...

7. Keep the public in ignorance and mediocrity.

Making the public is incapable of understanding the technologies and methods used to control and enslavement. "The quality of education given to lower social classes must be the poor and mediocre as possible so that the gap of ignorance it plans among the lower classes and upper classes are and remain unattainable for the lower classes (see 'Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars) ".

8. Encourage the public to be complacent with mediocrity.

Promote the public to believe the fact that it is fashionable to be stupid, vulgar and uneducated ...

9. Reinforce self-blame.

Make believe the individual who is he alone to blame for their own misfortune, because of the failure of their intelligence, their abilities, or their efforts. So, instead of rebelling against the economic system, the individual autodesvalida and guilt, which creates a depression, one of whose effects is to inhibit its action. And, without action, there is no revolution!

10. Individuals know best what they themselves known.

During the past 50 years, rapid advances in science have generated a growing gap between public knowledge and those owned and used by the ruling elites. With biology, neurobiology and applied psychology, the "system" has enjoyed a sophisticated understanding of human beings, both physically and psychologically. The system has gotten better known to the common person than he knows himself. This means that, in most cases, the system exerts greater control and a great power over individuals, greater than that of individuals about themselves.

Update pedagogy before the world changed

Update pedagogy before the world changed

Leonardo Boff *

Adital

Centuries wars, conflicts, struggles and conflicts between peoples of class we are leaving a bitter lesson. The primary and reductionist approach has not made us more human, nor are we closer to each other, let alone brought us the much desired peace. We live in a permanent state of siege and full of fear. We have reached a historical stage, in the words of the Earth Charter, "calls us to a new beginning." This requires a pedagogy based on a new awareness and an inclusive vision of the economic, social, cultural and spiritual challenge us.

This new awareness, resulting from globalization, the earth sciences and life and the ecology is showing us a path forward, understanding that all things are interdependent and that even the opposition are out and open a dynamic whole. Therefore, integration can not be separated but include rather than exclude, to recognize, yes, the differences, but also seek convergence, and instead of win-lose, look for win-win.

This holistic perspective is influencing the educational process. We have an unforgettable teacher, Paulo Freire, who taught us the dialectic of inclusion and put "and" where before we put "or". We must learn to say 'yes' to everything that makes us grow in the small and big.

Fray Clodovis Boff accumulated extensive experience working with the poor in Acre and Rio de Janeiro. In line with Paulo Freire gave us a book that has become a classic: Working with the people . And now, given the challenges of the new state of the world, has developed a small decalogue of what could be a new pedagogy. Transcribe and worth considering, because it can help us a lot.

"1. If the process of awareness, the awakening of critical awareness and use of analytical reason (Head). But also the sensible reason (heart) where values \u200b\u200bare rooted and where they feed the imagination and all utopias.

2. Yes to 'collective subject' or social, the 'we' creator of history ("no free to anyone, we free ourselves together '). But also to the subjectivity of each, the 'I biography', the 'individual subject' with its references and dreams.

3. Yes to 'political practice', transforming the structures and generating new social relations, a new 'system'. And yes also to 'cultural practice' (symbolic, artistic and religious), 'transfiguring' the world and creating new meanings or simply a new 'life world'.

4. Yes to action 'macro' or company (including the 'revolutionary action'), which acts on the structures. But also to action 'micro', local and community ('molecular revolution') as the basis and starting point of the structural process.

5. Yes to the articulation of social forces in the form of 'unifying structures' and centralized. But also to the joint in 'red', in which a decentralized action, each node becomes the center of creation, initiatives and interventions.

6. Yes to 'critical' of the mechanisms of oppression, injustice and reporting of the 'negative work'. But also to proposals 'alternative' positive actions that establish the 'new' and announce a different future.

7. Yes to 'historical project', the 'political program' specifically pointing to a 'new society'. But also to the 'utopian', dreams of 'creative imagination', in search of a different life, in short, 'a new world. "

8. Yes to 'fight', to work, the effort to make progress, yes to the seriousness of the commitment. And yes also to the 'free' as manifested in the game, in time free, or simply the joy of living.

9. Yes, the ideal of being 'citizen' to be 'militant' and 'fighter', yes to giving ourselves full of enthusiasm and courage to the cause of the humanization of the world. But yes to the figure of the 'animator', the 'partner', the 'friend', in simple terms, yes the one who is rich in humanity, freedom and love.

10. Yes to a concept 'analytic' and scientific society and economic structures and policies. But also the vision 'systemic' and 'holistic' of reality, seen as a living whole, dialectically integrated in its various dimensions: personal, gender, social, ecological, planetary, cosmic and transcendent.

The Shock Doctrine: a counterhistory of neoliberalism

The Shock Doctrine: a counterhistory of neoliberalism

Benedetto Vecchi

Without Permission

One thing is certain. Naomi Klein, following the success of Nologo, there has been hand over hand. He got back on the road, visiting or living for brief periods in Argentina, Brazil, South Africa, Chile, Bolivia, Iraq, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Lebanon, Russia and, needless say, USA. Since these countries have sent reports and in developing countries has economists and activists interviewed for newspapers like The Guardian, The Nation or The New York Times. At the same time, has accumulated information on changes in neoliberalism after the attack on New York's World Trade Center September 11 six years ago. Over time, however, has matured in her conviction that the twentieth century capitalism had robust elements of continuity, but discontinuity with respect to elements of contemporary essays called the glorious thirty years, ie the period of economic and social development that followed World War II, which saw the rise in many countries, state regulatory presence in the economy and social life.

continuity of the welfare state came in its various national translations, and a relationship of domination of some countries towards other countries strong "weak" used precisely as laboratories for experimentation in economic policy powerful unbiased in the North would have found no little resistance by unions and political forces of the labor movement and other social movements. The challenge, however, was to outline the discontinuities. And it is precisely the discontinuities that focus the attention of Naomi Klein.

The constellation neoliberal

The result is a book that can be read as a contemporary neoliberalism counterhistory. Its title, Skock doctrine [The Shock Doctrine] introduced immediately in the thesis of the volume: the crisis-economic, social or political, and environmental catastrophes are used to introduce neoliberal reforms that have led to the demolition of the welfare state .

The book goes, for starters, in the heart of the Cold War. In those years, the future Nobel laureate economist Milton Friedman begins to weave its fabric to build an intellectual network of researchers in favor of free market. It is a brilliant economist, but his proposals for the demolition of state intervention in society and the economy are too "extremist" in relation to what they do business and the U.S. government. However, with that, its research center receives funding from private foundations and government. Milton Friedman argues that the crisis and then can be used for "shock therapy" for free market.

Milton Friedman became the agit-prop of neoliberalism, while his disciples are sent into the world in proselytizing mission. Her recipes will eventually become policy programs in Chile, Paraguay, Argentina, Brazil, Guatemala, Venezuela. There is a small problem. Tions working with armored vehicles in the streets and systematic torture in prisons, while the number of missing becomes so high that even the American media can ignore it.

The part of the book about the sixties and seventies has history of coups and the systematic use of violence against political opponents, and may seem like a deja vu for long-known stories. But Naomi Klein presented as the first crisis of neoliberalism. Chile, Argentina and Paraguay are laboratories in which enriched many U.S. multinationals, which are allowed to take over many raw materials and new markets for their products. A sort of primitive accumulation renewed delocalized outside national borders. So it is worth funding, in concert with Washington, the state terrorism in Chile, Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay. It is precisely in this period that the intellectual network woven by Friedman consolidates and extends the same time.

is impressive work done by Naomi Klein for the reconstruction of political careers, the bonds of friendship, business relations of men-of Dick Cheney to Donald Rumsfeld, John Ashcroft to Sunday Cavallo, Michel Camdessus to Paul Bremer, Paul Wolfowitz and the Bush family who move from one board of directors of any crime to the direction of a neoliberal think tank of senior positions in some government offices of the World Bank IMF.

The story told is so far known outside the U.S.. Naomi Klein knows, but is also aware that the U.S. is a story known or disclosed only for a minority of activists and radical intellectuals. Hence his work of classification of the information before entering the second wave have neoliberal, which has, like the first, an apostle. It is another economist, Jeffrey Sachs called and wants to prove that the free market, unlike what appeared to be the case in Latin America, is not incompatible with democracy. It is a true evangelist of democratic capitalism, "and sees the crash Soviet socialism and the best opportunity to reconcile democracy with the natural laws of business. Advise-and heard-to Poland Lech Walesa and Boris Yeltsin's Russia, a radical deregulation of their economies. His recipe is a flop, but at the same time his "shock therapy" is a valuable ally in an IMF economist now definitively linked yet refined the theories of Lord Maynard Keynes. The debt will be the winning weapon used by the neoliberals, who grant loans only on condition that completely deregulate the economy. It's called Washington consensus, are the corollary of "programs structural adjustment. "As before, the multinationals will be made in gold, but Sachs, like other evangelists of the free market", says what to do now is that all productive activities and social services run by the state be brought at auction, even at the sacrifice of hundreds of thousands of jobs on the altar of international competitiveness. Poverty does not stop repeating, is a side effect however will eventually be cleared by the invisible hand market.

The "shock therapy" is nourished and marketing strategies, propaganda and falsification data, trying to prove that the free market is the only way to escape economic decline and mass poverty. But consensus has to be won at the polls, even if it can slow the pace of "reform."

voodoo policy

To remove this obstacle is a well-tested strategy for the war debt in Latin America: to create panic and then to press for the adoption of "therapy" economic neo-liberals. The World Bank and IMF then become supranational institutions adapted to the objective of limiting popular sovereignty and national governments to deprive any decisional autonomy. Economic programs are, therefore, made in Washington, but its implementation on the ground is ensured by political personnel "faithful to the line." Klein Nami documentary shows how even the Asian crisis of the nineties took center stage at the World Bank and IMF, knowing that orchestrated the financial crisis to demolish all state involvement in the economy. And when Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indochina and South Korea capitulated to the IMF, a "Chicago boy" wrote a column in the Financial Times paralleling the revolution of free market in Asia with a "second Berlin Wall fell."

In Latin America the situation is different. Dictatorships collapsed one after another and came to power many center-left coalitions. Is the era, says Naomi Klein, voodoo policy, characterized by Keynesian and subsequent electoral programs rigidly neoliberal economic policies.

The tangled skein that Naomi Klein patiently temple depicts shows not so much a business committee of the bourgeoisie, as a trust company whose business is emptying the status of any function, including the war. It is the birth of "corporate state", as defined by the author, where a narrow elite of a company goes public office without the slightest respect for liberal rules against conflict of interest. The "disaster capitalism" can only continue to renew the social insecurity. September 11 is, from this point of view, a godsend for the neoliberals. The "war on terror" becomes the rhetoric behind which to hide the sale of national defense to private firms and full control of oil.

With the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq, warfare, ie the use of war to boost the economy, has risen to the system, because the war on terror is a war that not only involves the military, but to the entire society. Illuminating in this regard is the chapter devoted to Canadian journalist Israel, making the development of high-tech industry of security and the arrival of Jews from Eastern Europe after the fall of the Berlin Wall two key interpretive-not-pass only a hypothesis of peace with the Palestinians to Ariel Sharon's fateful walk through the mosque compound that sparked the second Intifada. Refugees from Eastern Europe could replace Palestinian labor force at low cost, while high-tech companies could offer their products to the world, given that the war on terror is a war of Western civilization against its enemies.

The economy of the disaster

When Naomi Klein begins to analyze the devastating effects of Hurricane Katrina and Tsunami disasters discovers that are used by the IMF mission creep, ie, undue expansion of a mission, in this case the public machine. The last bastions of the state as guarantor of coexistence undergo social attack. New Orleans has become the laboratory for the further privatization of state. Similarly, the Tsunami is used to transform some regions or even nations (Sri Lanka, Thailand and Maldives) in holiday clubs for the global elites.

This is narrated disaster capitalism. Naomi Klein, as it did in Nologo not want to build a theory of capitalist development. It is an excellent journalist and investigative reporter who always raises the right question: how to organize resistance to neoliberalism. It is true that his defense of the welfare state can seem naive, but when he begins to list what they do and how proposed social movements, his is a Keynesianism that opens doors to self-government by social movements and radical democracy.

Shock Doctrine is thus an ambitious book, because it aims to provide a map of "disaster capitalism." It's certainly a fresh reorganization of capitalism after the September 11 and begins to identify its strengths, the leaders that are emerging, their global aspirations. But it also identifies weaknesses. It is therefore useful to read a map, also prepared to resist the next wave of shock therapy to be fed to the next environmental catastrophe and the next stage of preventive war. O italianísimo announced and social spending cuts to offset the economic decline.
