want to tell this story from its end. The day after our occupation of the headquarters of the PDL newspapers competed to provide the reports more misrepresenting, with the triumphal gloss La Stampa, signed by Massimo Numa, to which it is undoubtedly the palm mystifying art. Why start at the end and, above all, what good is taken as the starting point of the lens distorting mainstream media ? In the articles that dealt with the events of 11 February contains the toolbox of a perfect détournement ideological reveals that much of the devices put in place to try to sterilize the political significance of an event. With an almost grotesque punctuality will come into focus nodes brief but overturned, emptied of meaning. It may be useful then go back over this history, starting from the version that they have produced some professionals to arrive at the reception organized infer, perhaps, the original political sense.
"Not only women," according to La Stampa : behind the occupation of the Turin headquarters of the PDL implementation by fifty companions there would be directed by men who coordinated by telephone. We can not doubt the good faith of such a claim in full Rubygate, when men of power and competing journalists suddenly stand champions of women's dignity outraged so very instrumental. However, on the lips of a journalist, it shines with the clarity illuminating a slip of a projection as if to say, 'we discover the altars, to those who cheat really self women? ', making implicit reference to a sort of second-tier political issue in which you reside relationships really at stake. The psychological background of course, is a representation once again minoritizing women, who receive one all-male hierarchy for permission to challenge.
Too bad this Punch and Judy show (or rather the puppet) set up by the lively imagination of some reporters coincides with very little content explicitly thematized by our action. The occupation of the headquarters of the PDL was an occasion to revive a critical participation in the parade of 13 who could overtake the moral indignation of those appropriated theme of female self-determination to make dell'opportunistico anti-Berlusconi. An investment that extends its challenge to a whole system of power that generates and reproduces certain power relations and gender relations. A full claim, therefore, non-strumentalizzabilità our anger and our struggles. Dozens of women, students, temporary workers, and unemployed university broke into the conference room of the PDL in the neck with signs bearing the words "We'll never want to like you" and a banner that reads "against the government of the crisis of self-determination struggle "which was attached to the main balcony. The reaction of the militants was especially pidiellini aggressive, deputy coordinator with Brown who has distinguished himself for his nervousness, removing the banner from the balcony and trying to rip the banner and megaphone from the hands of her companions. "You are not women" was his answer to those who pointed out at this juncture the aggressiveness with which he was acting with the girls. Judgement which is equal to that of the comically Numa mentioned above, as if our physical and symbolic power of speech upsets each coordinate some of their representation of women. Representation which, however, the deputy Agostino Ghiglia has masterfully summed up this way: "You are a nice presence but uneducated."
Here are the various discursive fielded to marginalize a power word: the paradoxical phenomenon of reversal of gender subordination (Numa), the denial of existence (Brown), devaluing the language (Ghiglia). Not to mention the use and abuse by the media of labels such as "Girls of the social centers" and "anarchist" with the express intent dequalificante. Even before claiming the transversality of a composition that has seen militants together, students and women of diverse political orientation, whose paths were intertwined in the struggles within and outside the university, it seems necessary to question the meaning given to these words. The subtext is of course the implicit equation of women's centers uguale donne di serie B. L'intenzione ci sembra quella di costruire ad hoc un immaginario della stigmatizzazione sociale a beneficio del consumatore di cronaca. Un immaginario al quale fare facilmente appello per relegare nella marginalità (e marginalità opinabile) ogni voce critica.
In ultimo, per chiudere questa carrellata di revisionismo mediatico, come dimenticare la teoria dell'"impiegata ferita", sbandierata all'indomani dell'occupazione a giustificazione della brutalità dell'intervento delle forze dell'ordine. Dopo circa un'ora dall'inizio dell'occupazione, infatti, siamo state spintonate giù per le scale da polizia e digos, chiuse in un angle and identified. When we finally were allowed to leave the building, we found waiting for us outside the gate flying with the doors wide open and five companions were dragged to the police station by police, with the diligent help of the young militants of the PDL. One of them had not even participated in the occupation and the release of her companions had waited outside with the police and journalists. The girls were released in the evening, after a garrison in via Gratton, not without their kidnapping was the material that documented what happened at the site of the PDL and the conduct of its exponents.
A theorem that can be removed only by then, and reveals who dismantle something of the ideological and cultural undercurrent that work. Confirmed that we can not see a necessity to an outlet of expression that seeks to place themselves in the folds of the production of sensitive political and cultural differences, making manifest the contradictions inherent. Always well beyond where we would like, constipated pleasant silence between expectations and resigned instrumentality.
