dear all, i read the meeting's transcript and i found that it was a very
interesting conversation.
on the decisions made and on my position about that i will say when the
minutes and the proposals will be circulated to the list, but i just wanted
to say something of a more general caracter.
if we consider communication very central not only to the practices of the
WSF but also to its politics and even more important to its values and
"pedagogies", shouldn't it be of our interest also the way in which we
communicate, the kind of communicative strategies we use and the dynamics we
produce? Wouldn't it be good at some point to reflect to the "quality" of
the conversation/communicationi that takes place between us and the more or
less hidden (unconscious) patterns we generate? Isn't that after all the
most ambitious and innovative attempt made by the WSF since 2001: allowing
people to convene in an open space to communicate in a new way that instead
of reproducing enslaving dynamics could generate emancipatory practices?
I know we are pressed by time (of course) and we need to deliver, but i felt
i would say this anyway as i saw, perhaps because i was not involved (and i
might have misunderstood things) some pretty interesting dynamics in the
conversation last night...
anyway just a morning thought
thank you again for all the work you guys put in last night
ciao
giuseppe
