[Anarchafeminists] Cafe event next Monday 13th: The politics of alternative technology and workers' plans

[nickdrake]

Dear friends,

You are invited to the seventh in our series of meetings on the politics 
of technology.

Breaking the Frame 7: The politics of alternative technology and 
workers' plans

Radical movements, appreciating the importance of technology, have often 
tried to appropriate or modify it, or even to create their own 
technologies. 'Alternative' or 'sustainable' technology has now become 
part of the mainstream, but has it lost sight of the principles of its 
founders, such as E F Schumacher?  Trade unionists have also put forward 
alternative plans for how to use technology in the common interest, 
rather than those of corporations and the military. But can industrial 
megatechnologies ever really solve the problems that industrial 
capitalism has created? Can the Green and Left critiques of technology 
be combined?

Introductions from:

Patrick Mulvaney  (adviser to Practical Action)

Suzanne Jeffery  (Million Climate Jobs Campaign)


The second half of the meeting will be an opportunity for people to give 
input on the Breaking the Frame gathering to take place in May 2014.
