In Russia's #war in #Ukraine, the destruction of the infrastructure of human and more-than-human life – in short, the #environment – plays an important role, as Svitlana Matviyenko argues in her article for the #PluriverseOfPeace series: berlinergazette.de/elemental-wa... #Russia #Potemkin #ecology

That said, in UA regions occupied by russia they have water disaster, there's no clean water anywhere, the pipes are mostly empty, people wait for the water tanks to come but the water ist still bad. But there's a running fountain in the city center. Qirim (Krym, Crimea) it's a bit better.

»Davyd Chychkan stellte das Establishment beharrlich in Frage und forderte die Beteiligung an substanziellen politischen Diskursen. Das künstlerische Vermächtnis von Davyd Chychkan ist von unschätzbarem Wert.« Nachruf von Lesik, einem Freund und Genossen Chychkans in @berlinergazette.bsky.social

Berlin. Eintritt frei! Anmelden: berlinergazette.de/d...

Für die @berlinergazette.bsky.social durfte ich einen Artikel darüber schreiben, in welchem teilweise fundamentalen Gegensatz die Ideen und Werte freier Bildung mit denen in einer von generativer KI geprägten Bildungslandschaft stehen: berlinergazette.de/de/freie-bil...

Generative #AI systems for education pursue relief, efficiency, and individualization. @ansophiliert.bsky.social advocates edu-hacking and socialized AI infrastructures to counteract the advance of big tech in education: berlinergazette.de/free-educati... #openeducation #OpenSource #openscience

At the #PluriverseOfPeace event researchers, artists and activists from 25 countries will be exploring connections between anti- #war + #climate struggles at @iciberlin.bsky.social (Oct.16 ) and ZK/U (Oct.17+18 ). Free entry, limited seats, registration required: berlinergazette.de/projects/plu...

The Movement of People Affected by Dams ( @mab.org.br ) challenges the dominance of transnational corporations by exposing how water is used as a tool of imperial violence: berlinergazette.de/water-for-li... #water #dams #climatechange #imperialism #grassroots #solidarity @cschroering.bsky.social

While attention to climate issues has noticeably declined, supposed solutions, such as carbon emission trading, continue to be promoted. Maria Neuhauss argues, this is a bluff with far-reaching consequences: berlinergazette.de/carbon-marke... #climate #ClimateCrisis #ClimateAction #decarbonization

Romani women are subjected to racialized, gendered, and class-based violence. Judit Ignácz explores how they navigate social systems that were never designed for them to thrive. berlinergazette.de/racism-sexis... #Racism #Roma #feminism #oppression #metoo #femicide

Self-organized, solidarity-based community kitchens are an expression of the political and social changes brought about by the fight for feminist and anti-capitalist causes, as Anna Verwey argues: berlinergazette.de/no-food-no-f... #food #foodsoverignty #Community #Cooking #feminism

Annette Schlemm reveals the misguided nature of #ClimateEngineering : Large-scale interventions in the Earth’s geochemical and biogeochemical cycles distract from the systemic causes of the #ClimateCrisis and exacerbate the problem: berlinergazette.de/climate-engi... #Technology #TechnoSolutionism

In her contribution to the #PluriverseOfPeace series, @rarifiederos.bsky.social traces the emergence of the bunkerized subject in the #nuclear age, analyzes its persistence, and explores ways to escape the #bunker berlinergazette.de/are-we-ready... #climatechange #climatecrisis #war #peace

Exploring #forest #mapping, Lynda Olman and Birgit Schneider deconstruct the metaphor of the #zoom and discuss using #cartography technologies without perpetuating underlying #power structures: berlinergazette.de/appropriatin... #climatecrisis #climatechange

Mass protests in #Serbia call for true #democracy and denounce #corruption and #authoritarianism. However, the government has responded with even greater authoritarianism, resulting in the rise of political #prisoners : berlinergazette.de/the-discipli...

In her contribution to the “Pluriverse of Peace” series, Tatsiana Shchurko argues that Bangalore Square in Minsk reflects these layered histories. via @berlinergazette.bsky.social

Just out: 'Resisting the Techno-Fascist Takeover: Are We Ready for Decomputing?' berlinergazette.de/resisting-th... in which I diagnose DOGE as institutional cyberattack and argue that the way to stop it spreading is to revive an alternative technopolitics.

The #Soviet vision of seamless transformation – e.g., converting peatlands into energy sources and arable land, and people into compliant laborers – was largely realized but left behind traces of persistent violence, as @jeannakolesova.bsky.social argues: berlinergazette.de/witnesses-or... #climate

We are being torn apart by wars and ecological upheaval. Combining political biophysics with a critique of capitalism, Erald Kolasi addresses the fundamental challenges we face + offers a new blueprint for understanding + solving them: berlinergazette.de/overcoming-c... #climatechange #war #commons

"Top-down decisions often lead to the suffering of parts of the population that were not involved from the beginning. These people are often described as the ‘voiceless,’ but that is a misconception. They have a voice. They just aren’t being listened to."

As #megacities continue to grow, they are becoming sites of ongoing and future climate and #water injustices. Drawing on her research in Dhaka, Bangladesh’s capital, @farhanasultana.com examines the #class and #gender dimensions of hydro- and #climate apartheid: berlinergazette.de/the-politics...

Balinha está na Berliner Gazette! @berlinergazette.bsky.social berlinergazette.de/de/elliptisc...

#Merz ist Kanzler. Die #noAfD ist stärkste Kraft. Was wir jetzt und die kommenden Jahre brauchen, sind strategischer Optimismus und antifaschistische Sorge. Darüber habe ich in der @berlinergazette.bsky.social geschrieben. #RadikaleGleichheit @suhrkamp.de

Die Bedrohung der Demokratie durch den #Faschismus stellt egalitäre Errungenschaften in Frage. Wir sollten daher, wie Jule Govrin ( @jgovrin.bsky.social ) argumentiert, über #Gleichheit sprechen und nach Spuren eines #Universalismus von unten suchen: berlinergazette.de/de/universal...

The imminent threat of #fascism to democratic society calls into question hard-won egalitarian gains. Therefore, as Jule Govrin ( @jgovrin.bsky.social ) argues, we cannot avoid talking about #equality and searching for traces of #universalism from below: berlinergazette.de/weaving-anti...

In the debate on German #colonial history, the former colonies in Africa or the Pacific have been at the forefront, but as Agnieszka Pufelska ( @wiko-berlin.bsky.social ) reminds us, an important chapter has gone largely unnoticed: Prussia's expansion into #Poland: berlinergazette.de/hidden-borde...

Very useful text on AI in Education - thanks to @berlinergazette.bsky.social - and one of many pieces of reflection we'll need to come up with, to formulate a new technopolitics to face the becoming wrecked/fascist/homogeneous of our worlds.. berlinergazette.de/rethinking-e...

What can #indigenous communities contribute to overcoming the global polycrisis? Their struggles and their ways of living and organizing provide a roadmap for the future, as @shrishteebajpai.bsky.social argues: berlinergazette.de/autonomy-for... #PluriverseOfPeace

The resurgence of militarism through #ReArmEurope and #Readiness2030 promotes a #war against humanity and the planet – a War on Earth. Enikő Vincze articulates a critique and puts alternatives up for discussion: berlinergazette.de/warmongering... #PluriverseOfPeace

Exakt so ist es: "Only when one has mastered the confident handling and critical understanding – namely, the reception and creation of – texts, then can and must the competent use of AI be learned." von @katrinbecker.eu via @mspr0.de #HybrideIntelligenz berlinergazette.de/rethinking-e...

lesenswert.

In #AI capitalism humans are no longer essential to the production of language and text. What is the role of #education in this context? @katrinbecker.eu reflects on our options: berlinergazette.de/rethinking-e... @criticaldatalab.bsky.social @annanosthoff.bsky.social

I was recently invited by @berlinergazette.bsky.social to reflect on AI and its use in the humanities - here's my take on this topic: In German: berlinergazette.de/de/rethinkin... In English: berlinergazette.de/rethinking-e...

The civilian and military use of #nuclear energy, which has recently been the subject of increased discussion, are two sides of the same coin. How can climate movements and anti-war initiatives join forces? berlinergazette.de/nuclear-enta... #PluriverseOfPeace

Working on the desirable world of tomorrow in the here+now means, not least, democratizing the capitalist economy. #Socialization, promoted by grassroots movements in areas as diverse as housing, energy, and transportation, is one promising method for doing this: berlinergazette.de/restructurin...

Medical gaslighting is the devaluation, doubting, or downplaying of patients’ symptoms or concerns by medical staff. Read about the gender dimension of this social problem: berlinergazette.de/gaslighting-... #medicalgaslighting

How can we reclaim and reinvent cities as infrastructures of both human and other-than-human life? How can we connect urban and ecological struggles? At #KinCity researchers, artists + activists sought answers. View the audios, videos, and workshop projects here: berlinergazette.de/projects/kin...

cc @berlinergazette.bsky.social maybe of interest in the frame of Pluriverse of Peace

Replace “AI” with “overnight replacement of robust outstanding praxis with fragile AI solutions”, but yeah…

Sabine Hess deconstructs dominant discourses on migration and shows how the racist fixation on #migration as the ‘mother of all problems’ causes social harm and distracts from real social problems. berlinergazette.de/how-right-wi...

We are witnessing the first generation of students who have full access to generative #AI and the first generation of teachers who are bombarded with offers to use AI tools. Is this leading to the creative destruction of knowledge ecologies? berlinergazette.de/generative-a...

Let us imagine planet Earth as a pluriverse of peace: a ‘multiplicity of worlds’ where different forms of life and knowledge coexist, where everyone works together to make life worth living for all. berlinergazette.de/pluriverse-o... #PluriverseOfPeace
