Turbulence 5 Launch Panel @ Historical Materialism Conference, London 29 Nov
Issue 5 of Turbulence will be officially launched at the Historical Materialism Conference in London (November 27-29, 2009). The event will take place at the School of Oriental and Asian Studies (SOAS), Thornhaugh Street, London, WC1H OXG. The Turbulence editors will present the issue and the core problematics it attempts to address. John Holloway and Angela McRobbie will be the official ‘discussants’ on the panel, and we hope to get a conversation going with everyone who comes along. The panel will be chaired by Matteo Mandarini.
The conference is organised by the Historical Materialism journal and is an increasingly important location for discussion among the critical-Marxist left and beyond. This year’s conference is titled ‘Another World Is Necessary: Crisis, Struggle and Political Alternatives’. The event is free and open to the public, but prior registration is required (see website below). A suggested donation for this self-funded event, for those registering in advance, is £40 waged and £15 unwaged.

Distro and Storage Help Needed in N. America
Can you help us distribute Turbulence 5 in North America? We’re looking for people who can help out by either distributing small bundles of 10-50 copies among friend, colleagues, etc… as well as people who can help us get rid of much larger numbers. We’re also looking for people who can help store up to 1-2,000 copies in a couple of large cities. If you can help, get in touch with us as soon as possible at editors@turbulence.org.uk

Who we are
Turbulence is a journal/newspaper that we hope will become an ongoing space in which to think through, debate and articulate the political, social, economic and cultural theories of our movements, as well as the networks of diverse practices and alternatives that surround them. Read more here
