• CHRONOLOGY OF EUROPEAN MOBILISATIONS
Built a chronology is never as simple as it looks like. In a way, chronologies results useful exercises to get an image of how a social movement has been developing its actions and spaces around. How does it develops its own collective memory? How does it spread it away?
At the same time, any chronology reminds partial and needs to be contemplate in a larger social, political and cultural context. In that sense we do believe that chronologies are useful but never more than when they are compiled together, that is why we will develop form 1st of June until 1st of December 2005 an experimental project to develop a database to compile chronological informations and qualitative data's around the mobilizations that have been developed in Europe.

Conceptual Dictionary
Any transnational project needs
to settle some shared vocabulary. A common problem is to get to be discussing
and exchanging around a subject without a common starting definition of this one;
in another level also exists the problem of new concepts emerged from specific
areas or social movements and that don't have a precise translation in other countries.
That is why this project is think for building through a networked dynamic a glossary
around those words.
