FLUXLIST: [im] From the Multitudes of Europe Rising Up Against the Empire(fwd)

2001-05-22 Thread St.Auby Tamas


From the Multitudes of Europe, Rising Up Against the Empire
and Marching on Genoa (19-20 July 2001)

We are new, and yet we are the same as always.
We are ancient to the future, an army of disobedience. For centuries we have
marched, armed with stories as weapons, "dignity" emblazoned across our
ensigns.In the name of dignity we fight those who play the lords and masters of
people and meadows, forests and waters. Those who rule arbitrarily, impose
the order of the Empire and impoverish the communities.

We are the peasants of the _Jacquerie_. Our villages were plundered by the
mercenaries of the Hundred Years War and the nobles made us starve. In the
Year of Our Lord 1358 we took up arms, destroyed their castles and took the
ill-gotten back. Some of us were captured and decapitated, blood flowed from
our noses, but we were on the march and we would not stop again.

We are the _ciompi_ of Florence, the workers of factories and the minor
arts. In the Year of Our Lord 1378 a carder led us to rebellion. We took
over the city council and reformed the statute of arts and professions. The
lords escaped to the countryside and organized the siege of the town. After
two years they defeated us and restored the oligarchy, but nothing could
stop the contagious spirit of our example.

We are the peasants of England who battled against the nobles to get rid of
tolls and excises. In the Year of Our Lord 1381 we heard the preaching of
John Ball: "When Adam dalf and Eve span / Who was then a gentilman?". We set
off from Essex and Kent with pruning hooks and pitchforks. We occupied
London and set buildings on fire. We sacked the palace of the Arch-bishop
and opened the doors of jails. By the King's appointment many of us went to
the gallows, but things had been changed forever.

We are the _Hussites_. We are the _Taborites_. We are the Bohemian labourers
and craftsmen who rebelled against the Pope, the King and the Emperor after
Ian Hus was burnt at the stake. In the Year of Our Lord 1419 we assaulted
the town hall of Prague and threw the burgomaster and the councillors out
the window. King Wenceslaus died of a heartache. The powerful of Europe
waged war on us, and so we called the Czech people to arms. We drove back
all invasions, counterattacked and entered Austria, Hungary, Brandenburg,
Saxony, Franconia and the Palatine. The heart of a continent was in our
hands. We abolished servitude and the tithes. We were defeated after thirty
years of war and crusades.

We are the thirty-four thousand men that answered the call of Hans the
Piper. In the Year of Our Lord 1476 the Madonna of Niklashausen appeared to
Hans and said:
"There shall be neither kings nor princes, neither papacy nor priesthood,
neither taxes nor tithes. Meadows, forests and waters shall belong to all
people. Every one shall be a brother to each other, possessing no more than
his neighbour".
We arrived on the day of St. Margaret, a candle in one hand and a spear in
the other. The Holy Virgin would tell us what to do. The knights of the
Bishop captured Hans, then they attacked and defeated us. Hans burned at the
stake, but the words of the Virgin did not.

We are the String Shoe, the labourers and peasants of Alsace. In the Year of
Our Lord 1493 we conspired to kill the usurers and cancel all debts,
confiscate the treasuries of the monasteries, reduce the priests' incomes,
abolish oral confession and establish local courts elected by the
communities. On Easter Sunday we attacked the stronghold of Schlettstadt. We
were defeated. Many of us were arrested and put on the rack, to be quartered
or decapitated. Many were crippled by having their hands and fingers chopped
off, and were driven out of the country. Yet those who kept marching spread
the String Shoe throughout Germany. After years of repression and
re-organization, the String Shoe rose up in Freiburg in the Year of Our Lord
1513. The March
went on, and the String Shoe has never stopped.

We are Poor Konrad, the peasants of Suabia that rebelled against the taxes
on wine, meat and bread, in the Year of Our Lord 1514. We were five thousand
and threatened to conquer Schorndorf, in the valley of Rems. Duke Ulrich
promised he would abolish the new taxes and examine the peasants'
complaints. He was only seeking to keep us quiet and gain time. The revolt
spread all over Suabia. Our delegates were admitted to the diet in
Stuttgart. It was decided to depose and punish three of the hated
councillors of the Duke, to add to the Duke a council of four knights, four
burghers and four peasants, and to confiscate the monasteries and the
endowments in favour of the State treasury. Ulrich convened another diet in
Tuebingen, and his neighbours helped him  gather troops. It was not easy to
take the valley of Rems by force: Ulrich besieged and starved Poor Konrad on
the mountain of Koppel, then he plundered the villages. Sixteen hundred
peasants were captured, sixteen of them decapitated, and the rest received
heavy fines.

Art -- Comment Changer L'Art et L'Homme: Partout dans le mond, du Ier au 15
Juin 1969).  Fluxus, Nice 1963.  Organized by Ben Vautier.

Set number 131 of 500 Exemplaires Numerotes Sous Forme de Feuilles 21x27
Dans Un Dossier Blanc.

All participants in the festival will have one page of the review at their
disposal. Posters will be published containing a big empty space.  They
will be given to participants, 50 copies each, to fill up empty space and
communicate what they feel like communicating in their surroundings. . .
Are invited Fluxus: Zaj, Richard C., H. Flynt, Chiari, Mosset, Ken

the festival shall be financed by anonymous and free participations. . .
Many are those doubtless who think, that a non art festival is not
necessary.  That it is better to do nothing, that choosing people is not
Non Art, that a Festival can only be another artistic megalomaniac
enterprise, may be they are right.  But why not permit such communications?

festival announcement, 2 pages of description in English and in French, 4
pages listing contributions in English and in French in reproduced
handwriting of (presumably) Ben Vautier, a Fluxus photo of violin makers in

 We are new, and yet we are the same as always.

Still leading pogroms? (that kill the usurers thing, you know) Still cutting down
swathes of the the innocent in pursuit of the guilty? Still wallowing in conspiracy
theories? Still looking for enemies and making them wherever their numbers are too
few? If you speak to Serbians, Croats, Kosovars, they will all give you good
reasons to kill. There are no good reasons to kill.

And these movements are not all the same movement. They are not all the same;
rather, every historical moment is different, and those differences matter, they
matter a great deal. Hussites, for instance, were not particularly inflamed over
economic issues, but rather issues of religion. Luddites were angry about an
injustice visited particularly on them, not about economic justice in general. Etc.

Like most, I'm sure, I prefer a selfconstituted world. Ann-archy, I say, not
anarchy! That is, the social must always be a matter of hard negotiation among many
positions. No one group of people can be trusted to make all decisions, even if
they have all the good music. Only the realm of the private can be a paradise of a
single viewpoint.

The will of the People--the formerly disenfranchised, many of whom voted for the
very first time-- elected, in my home state of Minnesota, Jesse Ventura, a
jumped-up member of the Jaquerie, or perhaps as it plays out in this historical
moment, the Jockery, who poses no danger to the people of the state in part because
of the buffering effect of a century or so of liberal democracy, and the soft
barriers of reluctance to do harm that grow up in that climate.

Tell me that the workers of Europe, enfranchised, well paid, unionized, are still
anarchists, marching into the future in their boots sewed by brown hands who take
home, at the end of the day, less than a tenth of our euroanarchist's salary. These
European marchers had best march beyond the borders of Europe to find the frontiers
of injustice.

What do you fluxlisters think about these issues? Is there a role for art in
rectifying injustices? Is is simply a feeble tool?
