DESCRIPTION:Talk & Discussion with The Free Association (and Turbulence editors), 
 author of new PM Press book "Moment of Excess: Movements, Protest, and 
 Everyday Life"\n\nOver the past decade or so a “movement of movements” 
 ripped across the planet, forging new alliances and inventing new worlds. 
 That cycle of struggle seems to have drawn to a close. Instead, in the face 
 of a new round of austerity—and a deepening crisis of social 
 reproduction—we are glimpsing the emergence of new struggles and new 
 antagonistic social subjects, particularly in the global North.\n\nWhat is 
 the relevance, if any, of the politics, practices, and problematics of the 
 “counter-globalisation movement” to these new struggles? With the 
 future unwritten, how can we we best prepare for an event(s) of unknown 
 shape and time of arrival? What is the relationship between intensive 
 collective experiences—"moments of excess"—and "everyday life"? And can 
 understanding these questions help us develop a new generation of struggle, 
 allowing the past to “live in us,” while preventing it from weighing 
 “like a nightmare upon the brains of the living”?\n\nMembers of The 
 Free Association, authors of the new book "Moments of Excess: Movements, 
 Protest, and Everyday Life" (PM Press, 2011), will be discussing these and 
 other issues as well as recent antiausterity struggles in the UK and the 
 rest of Europe.\n\nThe Free Association is an ongoing experiment—a 
 reading collective, a writing machine, an affinity group. Most of its 
 members are based in Leeds, England, and their political history and 
 friendship dates back to the early 1990s. More information can be found at 
 http://freelyassociating.org/ and

 Association's David Harvie and Keir Milburn will be touring to talk about 
 the book and related ideas.\n\n$3-5 donation at the door to benefit Station 
 40's event fund (no one turned away for lack of funds)\n
