This was one of the most read articles in August:

For centuries, Western domination has been a condition under which much of the world has suffered – and against which emancipatory movements, such as decolonization struggles, have rebelled. At the same time, both anti-Western and anti-colonial gestures have been appropriated by authoritarian and ...

Water, especially flowing water such as rivers, manifests the circular, reticular character of all infrastructures of life: there is a certain amount of water on earth that circulates in different bodies and forms, but it is always the same element that returns, even when it seems to disappear. This is also true of the rivers that connect our cities to the world and vice versa, as the Sin Fama ni Gloria collective shows in their contribution to the “Kin City” series, which deals with the struggle for water as a commons in Chile and the urban politics of the Mapocho River.

Recommendation, we at Berliner Gazette published a new installment in our text series. Tusia Dabrowska writs about Polish working-class communities in Greenpoint, New York.

Migrant and immigrant workers, who often live in the most densely populated and polluted urban areas, struggle to belong, not only for reasons of cultural and geographical assimilation, but also because they are exposed to the ecological-industrial ruins that bear witness to the capitalist devastati...

Mit dem Dossier „Politiken der Apokalypse“ möchte die BG der Ambivalenz von Weltuntergangsnarrativen analytisch und differenziert begegnen. Wir wollen die emanzipatorischen Potenziale des globalen Umbruchs ausloten, ohne die Augen vor den reaktionären Tendenzen zu verschließen

BG's call for papers

Today, the geopolitics of labor mobility and energy transition are increasingly intertwined. It is a political priority for workers to understand how these connections operate in order to build infrastructural solidarity along them and reinvent internationalism. This requires a politics of translation between subjectivities, spaces, and scales, argues political theorist Brett Neilson in his “Allied Grounds” video talk.

Video Talk: As the global economic-ecological crises intensify, the spread of racist nationalism accelerates. In the course of this, dividing the working class into “white workers” and “non-white workers” is being reinforced. This poses a major problem for all of us: The divisions weaken internationalist multiracial worker struggles. More than that, workers are turned against each other rather than challenging the exploitation and expropriation of all kinds of workers and the environment at large, as scholar-activist Harsha Walia argues in her “Allied Grounds” video talk.
