Freedom of Expression: Resistance & Repression in the Age of Intellectual Property
1
In 1998, university professor Kembrew McLeod (Associate Professor of Communication Studies at the University of Iowa) trademarked the phrase "freedom of expression" - a startling comment on the way that intellectual property law restricts creativity and expression of ideas. This provocative and amusing documentary explores the battles being waged in courts, classrooms, museums, film studios, and the Internet over control of our cultural commons. Based on McLeod's award-winning book of the same title, Freedom of Expression charts the many successful attempts to push back this assault by overzealous copyright holders. Freedom of Expression is an essential tool for educators, activists, filmmakers, students, artists, librarians, and more.

Η Νονά

Mar 20, 2014
Α few years after the Fall of the Berlin Wall, an unknown physicist from Eastern Germany, who was not interested in politics, is the most powerful woman in the world. Her teacher in the small town where she grew up remembers that she was the smartest student he ever had. Those who have worked with her claim that “Merkiavelli” exercises power without moral barriers, just as Machiavelli taught. A journalist, who knows her well, claims that she uses the methods of a Mafia godmother. In 2008, the German Chancellor was asked to handle the international financial crisis. The countries of the South were placed in the test tube. “If I had to write a book on the Shock Doctrine at this moment,” says Naomi Klein, “it would be on Greece.” How did Merkel manage to impose German hegemony in Europe?

It’s simple math: we can burn less than 565 more gigatons of carbon dioxide and stay below 2°C of warming — anything more than that risks catastrophe for life on earth. The only problem? Fossil fuel corporations now have 2,795 gigatons in their reserves, five times the safe amount. And they’re planning to burn it all — unless we rise up to stop them.

La stratégie du choc

Sep 01, 2009
En 2007, Naomi Klein publiait La Stratégie du choc.Un traumatisme collectif, une guerre, un coup d'état, une catastrophe naturelle, une attaque terroriste plongent chaque individu dans un état de choc. Après le choc, nous redevenons des enfants, désormais plus enclins à suivre les leaders qui prétendent nous protéger. S'il est une personne à avoir compris très tôt ce phénomène, c'est Milton Friedman, Prix Nobel d'économie en 1976.Friedman, soutenant l'ultralibéralisme, conseilla aux hommes politiques d'imposer immédiatement après une crise des réformes économiques douloureuses avant que les gens n'aient eu le temps de se ressaisir. Il qualifiait cette méthode de traitement de choc.Naomi Klein la qualifie de "stratégie du choc".En utilisant de nombreuses images d'archives, Michael Winterbottom et Mat Whitecross démontrent la puissance du texte de Naomi Klein et la nécessité de résister.
