?As was the factory, so now is the university. Where once the factory was a
paradigmatic site of struggle between workers and capitalists, so now the
university is a key space of conflict, where the ownership of knowledge, the
reproduction of the labour force, and the creation of social and cultural
stratifications are all at stake.? A few years ago in its manifesto, the
edu-factory collective underlined the *productive and conflictive dimension
of the contemporary university*.



But in fact the university does not at all function like a factory, and we
are not nostalgic for the struggles of the past. This statement was rather
the indication of a political problem. If we begin with the incommensurable
spatio-temporal differences between the actual functions of the university
and those of the factory, what are the political stakes of their comparison?
In other words: how can the problem of organization be rethought in the
aftermath of the demise of its traditional forms such as the union and the
political party?



Today the economic crisis has opened new spaces to rethink the function of
the university and the *production of knowledge itself on a global scale*.
In other words, we have the chance to rethink the rise of the global
university, as well as its crisis. Within edu-factory, we refer to this
as the double crisis. On the one hand it is an acceleration of the crisis
specific to the university that marks its end, the inevitable result of its
eroded epistemological status; on the other hand it is also the crisis of
postfordist conditions of labor and value, many of which circulate through
the university.



?We won?t pay for your crisis?: this was the slogan of Italian ?*Anomalous
Wave*?, that is, the refusal to pay the cost of economic crisis and the
crisis of university itself. The slogan was translated in other struggles,
in different forms but with a common goal. Starting from this point, we want
to outline this double crisis from a global perspective. From *India* to*
Brazil*, from *US* to *Europe*, we want to focus on different experiences to
think about the production of *a transnational common space of debate and
action*.



**********************************

?Ci? che una volta era la fabbrica, ora lo ? l?universit?. Dove una volta la
fabbrica era un luogo paradigmatico di conflitto tra operai e capitalisti,
cos? ora l?universit? ? un luogo chiave del conflitto, dove la propriet? del
sapere, la riproduzione della forza- lavoro, e la creazione di
stratificazioni sociali e culturali sono tutte rimesse in gioco.? Alcuni
anni fa, nel suo manifesto, il collettivo edu-factory sottolineava la
*dimensione
produttiva e conflittuale dell?universit?* contemporanea.



Ma infatti, l`universit? non funziona esattamente come una fabbrica, e non
abbiamo alcuna nostalgia delle lotte del passato. Quest?affermazione era
piuttosto l?indicazione di un problema politico. Nelle incommensurabili
differenze spaziali e temporali tra le attuali funzioni dell?universit? e
quelle della fabbrica, quali sono le scommesse politiche di questo paragone?
In altre parole: come il problema dell?organizzazione pu? essere ripensato
in seguito alla dismissione delle forme tradizionali come i sindacati e i
partiti politici?



Oggi la crisi economica ha aperto nuovi spazi per ripensare la funzione
dell`universit? e della stessa *produzione di sapere a livello globale*. In
altre parole, per ripensare l?ascesa della global university, come quella
della sua crisi. Con il termine edu factory ci riferiamo a ci? come a una
doppia crisi. Da un lato costituisce un?accelerazione di una crisi specifica
dell`universit? che ne definisce la sua fine, il risultato inevitabile del
suo status epistemologico ormai eroso.  Dall`altro ci riferiamo alla crisi
delle condizioni di lavoro postfordiste, crisi della misura e del valore,
che serpeggiano nelle universit? stesse.



?Noi la crisi non la paghiamo?: questo ? lo slogan dell?*Onda Anomala* che
afferma il rifiuto a pagare la crisi economica e anche quella
dell`universit? stessa. Questo slogan ? stato tradotto in altre lotte, in
differenti forme, ma con uno scopo comune. A partire da qui, vogliamo
sottolineare questa doppia crisi da una prospettiva globale. Dall`*India*
 al *Brasile*, dagli *USA* all`*Europa*, focalizzando differenti esperienze
per pensare la costruzione di uno *spazio comune* *transnazionale* di
dibattito e azione.

*The crisis of Global University*

On Thursday, June 11th at 2 p.m. in Room 2, at the Faculty of Humanities of
La Sapienza University, there will be a transnational meeting titled ?Global
University: Labour, Struggles and the Common within the Crisis?, organized
by Lettere in Onda, Edu-factory collective and Queen Mary University of
London.

The speakers of this meeting will be Andrew Ross (New York University),
Morgan Adamson (University of Minnesota), Christofer Newfield (University of
California - Santa Barbara), Pedro Barbosa Mendes (Uninomada- Brazil),
Stefano Harney (Queen Mary University of London).
Also *Dillip Kumar Dash*, student of Hyderbrad University (India) and
protagonist of contemporary conflicts in the universities of South Asia,
should have been taking part at this meeting as international speaker.
Unfortunately, we heard from Dillip that the italian Embassy of New Delhi
denied his visa, without reason, blocking the possibility of his
participation in the meeting that will take place tomorrow in Rome.
Global University is a field of conflict, where the mobility of researchers,
professors and students must be a right and cannot be the new measure of
exploitation acted at the global level.
For us, Global University means to put in crisis its hierarchies and
differentiations: freedom of movement, free circulation of ideas and bodies
that live the university and build it every day.
We denounce this dire act from italian authorities, that confirms again
Italy as an inhospitable country, which practices a generalized attack on
the free and open exchange of ideas and the freedom of movement.

*La crisi dell?Universit? Globale*

Alla facolt? di Lettere LaSapienza, gioved? 11 alle ore 14 in Aula 2, si
terr? un meeting transnazionale dal titolo ?Global University. Labour,
Struggles and the Common within the Crisis?, organizzato da Lettere in Onda,
edu-factory collective e Queen Mary University of London.
A quest?evento parteciperanno Andrew Ross della New York University, Morgan
Adamson della University of Minnesota, Christofer Newfield della University
of California- Santa Barbara, Pedro Barbosa Mendes di Uninomada- Brazil,
Stefano Harney della Queen Mary University of London.
Tra gli ospiti internazionali invitati a questo incontro avrebbe dovuto
partecipare anche Dillip Kumar Dash dall?Universit? di Hyderbrad, India,
studente e protagonista delle attuali lotte studentesche nel sud asiatico.
Abbiamo appreso oggi dallo stesso Dillip che l?ambasciata italiana di New
Delhi ha rifiutato, senza giustificazione, il suo visto impedendogli cos? di
partecipare all?evento che si terr? a Roma.

Global University ? un campo di battaglia, laddove la libera mobilit? di
ricercatori, docenti e studenti deve essere un diritto e non pu? essere la
nuova misura dello sfruttamento agita su scala globale.

Global University vuol dire per noi mettere in crisi le sue gerarchie e
differenziazioni: libert? di movimento, libera circolazione delle idee e dei
corpi che l?universit? la vivono e la costruiscono ogni giorno.

Denunciamo questo fatto gravissimo da parte delle autorit? italiane che
riconferma l?Italia come un paese inospitale, fondato su un attacco
generalizzato all?intelligenza e alla libert? di movimento.
