This panel with Irit Rogoff and Lawrence Liang, moderated by Florian Schneider, took place on Oktober 11th 2006 in the context of the Workshop on "Collaboration". The Workshop took place at the Steirischer Herbst, from Oktober 7th - 13th 2006 and discussed and explored different notions on collaboration.

Der Film ist im Rahmen einer Diplomarbeit an der Hochschule für Gestaltung, Offenbach am Main entstanden. Untersucht wird die Informations- und Medienarbeit der Bundeswehr. Ausgehend vom “sicherheitspolitischen Paradigmenwechsel” am Ende des kalten Krieges werden Kontinuitäten und Wechsel in diesem Bereich betrachtet.

In 2006, a group of friends decided to make a film about filesharing that *we* would recognise. There have been a few documentaries by 'old media' crews who don't understand the net and see peer-to-peer organisation as a threat to their livelihoods. They have no reason to represent the filesharing movement positively, and no capacity to represent it lucidly.

Fire comes to us
from the sky and the sea

Here we are, 24 years later,
again besieged by the same enemy

History, however, does not repeat itself,
it perpetuates itself

The foreigners are leaving
(many among them are Lebanese
who enjoy a double nationality)

Who witnesses for the witness?
asked Paul Celan in another time

Disaster takes care of everything

I wanted to raise my left fist,
but in the meantime I lost my sense of humour

Oh cities that have never been invaded

Everyone knows that World War II was a global war. However, knowledge of its development and impact on Western Europe is rather limited. At least in the last two centuries knowledge of war crimes has increased. The purpose of today’s lecture is to draw a rough outline of the neglected aspects of this war and to raise some interest in the exploits and suffering of the people who were affected by fascism, “Herrenmenschentum” and aggression, and fought against it.
