 THE LESSON OF HORIZONTALISM IN ARGENTINA” with Marina Sitrin author of 
 Horizontalism: Voices of Popular Power in Argentina (Location NC 
 Theatre)\nAfter IMF policies led to economic meltdown in Argentina, 
 millions of workers and the unemployed poured into the streets to protest. 
 The social movements that exploded in Argentina that December not only 
 transformed the fabric of Argentine society, but also highlighted the 
 possibility of a genuinely democratic alternative to global capital. Author 
 Marina Sitrin discusses her three years collecting an oral history of these 
 movements. This event is co-sponsored by the Weekday Humanities Critical 
 Frameworks and Spiritual Activism Classes. \nMarina Sitrin is a dreamer, 
 teacher, student, and militant. She is the editor of Horizontalism: Voices 
 of Popular Power in Argentina, an oral history of the autonomous social 
 movements in Argentina. (Spanish edition Chilavert 2005, English edition AK 
 Press 2006) Marina has traveled extensively in Latin America, spending time 
 with the various new social movements. She is currently writing and editing 
 a book entitled: Insurgent Democracies: Latin America’s New Powers (City 
 Lights Press 2007) Marina teaches part time at the Gallatin School of New 
 York University. \nHorizontalism: Voices of Popular Power in Argentina is 
 an oral history of the autonomous social movements in Argentina since the 
 popular rebellion in 2001. It reflects the voices of many dozens of people 
 who are recreating their lives and communities using horizontal forms of 
 social organization. These movements range from occupied and recuperated 
 factories, arts and independent media collectives, indigenous communities, 
 neighborhood assemblies, feminist and queer groups and unemployed workers 
 movements. The book tries to show, in people’s own voices, that we can 
 change our worlds, we are changing our worlds, and we can do so with love, 
 trust, real democracy, horizontalism in this case, and autonomy.\n \n\n\n\n
