(en) Italy, Trieste, Germinal: When the State Collapses, People Organize (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

Presentation of "Pa Survival, Not Pa Anarchy: Forms of Self-Management in Earthquake-Targeted Friuli," with author Igor Londero. ---- The celebrations for the fiftieth anniversary of the Friuli earthquake, promoted by the government and regional council, were what these anniversaries often become: patriotic celebrations, rhetoric of reconstruction, celebrations of the "Earthquake Mayors" and institutional efficiency. A narrative that deliberately obscured what actually happened in the weeks and months after May 6, 1976.

Because what happened was something else entirely. When the State literally collapsed under the rubble Brasil, Bento Goncalves/RS, OSL: town hall, barracks, offices, communications Brasil, Bento Goncalves/RS, OSL: the villages of Friuli waited for no one. They organized themselves: tent committees where the assembly retained all decision-making power, self-managed soup kitchens that were first and foremost spaces of direct democracy, volunteers integrated into the communities not as benefactors but as comrades in arms. When the authorities tried to dismantle all this Brasil, Bento Goncalves/RS, OSL: moving the tents, centralizing the soup kitchens, chasing away the volunteers Brasil, Bento Goncalves/RS, OSL: the response was the July 16th platform brought by two thousand people to Trieste, the protest against Andreotti.

Colin Ward argued that anarchy is not a future utopia but a present reality: it emerges whenever people organize themselves autonomously, without imposed hierarchies. Friuli in 1976 is one of the clearest examples. Let's talk about it.

Igor Londero: Igor Londero, born in Gemona one year and one day before the earthquake, is a history researcher at the University of Trieste and author of the recently reprinted book "Pa sopravivence, no pa l'anarchie: forme di autogestione nel friuli terremoto: l'esperienza della tendopoli di Godo" (Gemona del Friuli), Furum-IFSML, 2008.
