The format of the
CASA meeting is as crucial as its content. We want to ask all of you to
engage in a construction of interactive spaces that contribute to
constructing emancipatory change that is inclusive.
Interactivity, here, means
acknowledging that knowledge construction and knowledge transmission are
not one-directional but rather collective processes. Thus participants of
all kinds (presenters, discussants, facilitators, technical assistants,
and organizers) should actively engage in collaborative processes rather
than mere conveying of knowledge. We are open to alternative formats -
from workshops to performances - that would open spaces for participation
and collective production.
Inclusiveness, here, means open to
variety. We want a large diversity of contributions to the CASA meeting by
inviting academics, artists, artist projects and collectives, utopians,
utopian writers, non-institutional intellectuals, activists engaged in
direct actions, and other interested individuals to share and exchange
thoughts and practices. We also anticipate a diversity of practices to
open debate and reflection. CASA 2006 can be a continuum of debating,
intervening, thinking, reflecting, inspiring, inventing and constructing
inclusive emancipatory initiatives.
