Carlos Taibo NEW IN IBIZA, writer and professor of political science at the Autonomous University of Madrid, He is one of the intellectual referents of the Theories of Decrease and an expert in anarchism. Last 28 of May, presented his latest work at the Sa Cultural bookstore: “The forgotten of the forgotten. A century and a half of anarchism in Spain”.
This presentation is part of the Disobedient Conference organized by the Mal del Cap collective..
Taibo considers that capitalism is entering a stage of terminal corrosion that inexorably leads us to a general collapse of the system.. He says he is unaware of Ibiza's ecological footprint but believes that there is plenty of economic activity on the island, surplus population and therefore basic resources will begin to be dramatically lacking.
less is more, by Carlos Taibo
The writer believes that once basic needs are satisfied, our happiness is not linked to the accumulation of consumer goods but rather to an improvement in our relationships with other people and with nature.. There is a deep perception problem that identifies consumption with happiness. Although hyperconsumption is usually an indicator of discomfort.
Creative leisure
In its etymology the word leisure is the antithesis of business. Creative leisure involves the search for non-commodified forms of leisure. why, Analysts of all times have set out to define the human being based on its different facets, the leisure that is offered to us is dramatically commercialized, packing, according to Carlos. In creative leisure, more or less natural human communities generate their own leisure mechanisms outside or relatively outside the cultural industry..
It is not about despising everything that the cultural industry does. Carlos Taibo publishes books and has no moral problem in publishing them. Their only fear is that the offer given to us is something canned. Something that translates into a very striking phenomenon: the same products are consumed everywhere, the same music is heard, they watch the same movies and read the same books.
Carlos proposes that we do something that causes a resurgence of popular culture. Something that reflects unique realities specific to each territory.
