Book Festival 16-17-18 June Park Rotunda (gr) [machine translation]

From 16 to June 18, 2015 will be held in the square Rotunda 5th Libertarian Book 
Festival. It is the continuation of the 4th Balkan Anarchist Book Festival, held in the 
same place in May 2009 and the 1st, 2nd and 3rd libertarian book festival held in 
Thessaloniki in June 2010, 2013 and 2014. The central theme of the Balkan festival was 
"the Balkans of exploitation and nationalism in the Balkans of solidarity and struggles", 
while the central theme of the first libertarian book festival was" CRISIS: cause for 
looting and governance method or from total rupture and social self?". In libertarian in 
the Rotunda book festival have spoken important international writers like George 
Caffentzis, the Martin Lux, the Massimo de Angelis and David Graeber, international 
libertarian versions have been presented, developed themes such as the nature of 
capitalist "crisis", the working self, the struggles of immigrants / three, anti-fascism, 
the struggle of the Zapatistas, the antipsychiatry the Balkan solidarity (with comrades 
speaking from the Republic of Macedonia and Bulgaria), etc.

This year we present seven new publications on vital issues for contemporary libertarian 
practice and criticism and the host Silvia Federici and companions / compas from Bulgaria.

Create a space temporarily free from the state and the market, a meeting place for 
discussion and criticism, from which there could be absent literature and music. The Book 
Fair starts at 6.00 PM. All three days will close with music groups in the spirit of 
re-appropriation of public spaces as meeting places, resistance and creation. Evidently 
invited to participate exposing their people papers and collectives which they consider 
important the organization of a firm libertarian book festival.

Program Libertarian Book Festival 2015


TUESDAY 16/6

7 pm book presentation: Notes Saiga # 4: "Capitalism, war, antimilitarism" versions of foreign

wars in Ukraine and Syria, and the war declared by the EU against migrants, highlighting

and regional states", "fascist and anti-fascist government blocks") and explanatory

spirit of militarization as a way out of desperate absurdity. But there is no way out 
without clarity as there is struggle for liberation that ignores the real war.


8pm Book Review: Social Anarchism # 4: "Theories for the state," libertarian publications 
Koursal

The wording of a modern theory of the state is imperative. Such work certainly is not 
easy, and replies can not give them a political inspection but only a living movement. In 
this issue we decided to put questions to genealogisoume resistance against the Law, and 
traditional anti-state positions, to detect the historical and anthropological roots of 
the emergence of split power institutions, to present examples of alternative organization 
from around the world, open dialogue with views suggest other strategies - even foreign to 
ours.
We write to open questions to provoke discussion. No to entrench our entrenched views. 
Besides our own truths, as opposed to all the stratagems of sovereignty, they find their 
meaning through continuous friction with all aspects of the real.

9pm book presentation: Anarchism and Ecology (collective) publications eutopia
As the economic gap grows between rich and poor, both civil liberties lost, but become 
huge ecological problems, both will further highlights the need for a radical

collection presents all the theoretical tendencies of Green Anarchism through
