On Research Methodology

Life is a non-factual continuum for the understanding of which, the use of quantization techniques – endearing especially in the modern technocratic “society” – fails both in terms of structure and intention.

Call for Papers: Dialogues Journal

Introducing Dialogues Journal

Call for Submissions for Issue 1

The realm of the journal is a realm that often calls forward a distinct sense of futility, at least in its usual manifestation as a sort of academic commodity, consumed by others within the circles around the journal, and constructed as a career building mechanism. In this form the concept of the journal is meaningless. There have been a myriad of responses to this form, and a rising chorus of rigorous journals that are attempting to resist this tendency. Dialogues aims to be a part of this trajectory, to build a project that is simultaneously rigorous and resistant to the meaninglessness of internalized academic discourse. But, in doing so we intend to engage in this sort of project in a way that is divergent from other projects that exist within this vein, and in doing so, fill a gap that we perceive as currently existing.

Il testo è stata inviato ai media
In questi giorni stiamo sperimentando l’ultimo trionfo delle unità dell’antiterrorismo statali.
Dopo aver sostenuto ed allestito un intero spettacolo con le telecamere che mostravano gente arrestata con le teste coperte da cappucci trascinati per le scale dai GADA [ reparti antiterrorismo ndt], hanno completato il colpo con l’arresto di mia madre e della moglie di mio fratello.

NO ONE LEFT ALONE IN THE FACE OF STATE REPRESSION

Political prisoners have currently launched a hunger strike in Greek prisons beginning from March 2nd 2015. Some of them, like me, have a common context of demands regarding: the abolition of the ‘antiterrorism’ legislations, the abolition of the hoodie law and the type C prisons, and the release of the convicted 17N member Savvas Xiros on health grounds.

At the same time, the political prisoners of the Conspiracy of Cells of Fire have also begun a hunger strike, demanding the release of their family members who were recently arrested and placed under preventive detention, after it was disclosed that CCF members organised a plan to escape Koridallos prisons.

Toward a Fuller Discussion of Grand Jury Resistance

grand-jury-resistance (low res)

A couple years ago, I asked people to pause before branding as a cooperator a person who gave pre-scripted testimony to a grand jury after a exhausting her legal options. (http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2012/11/09/18725393.php) Although some people construed my piece as advocating “partial cooperation,” I have never uttered those words except to disclaim them. Instead, I’ve spent hundreds of unpaid hours representing grand jury resisters or pairing them with other lawyers, coordinating joint defenses, advising colleagues how to give legal expression to their clients’ principled resistance, drafting and sharing motions, assisting with appeals, petitioning to open proceedings and unseal records, developing printed materials, and inveighing against the malignant grand jury system.
