Geneology of the dialog: troubling organisational experiments
contradictions of politics in troubling times.
addressing crisis in social and environmental terms

What strategies, tactics. 
Barcelona en Comu https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barcelona_en_Com%C3%BA

AGB: Can politics be feminists? And what is most important in current realities

GP: 15m - feminism maintained momentum, also young people. Feminise (?) politics
Importance of female faces in politics - Ada Calau. Making gender inequality transversal: economy, participation, ...
Science, tech, architecture ... recognizing work of women.
It is possible, but it needs/depends on feminist/social movement around

WS: it is indeed not just representation, but making transversal. Changing how you organise. Paying attention to .. where the money is coming from and how it is distributed. Be flexible to adapt. Also, ways admin is working. 
How are these strategies implemented? What has worked and what not? How to change within stuck institutions

AGR: Journalists recognize the quality of Barcelona in comu. Not so many scientist yet! How did the politics emerge from the street?
AGR sais that GP said once :i never thought i would be a political

GP: Three levels - 1. 15m movement, change of political epoch. Increase of extreme right.
while detecting responsible for a stream of far right.... we make politics to chage reality: different tools: demo, seminar, now party or institution :-)
lots of people joining social movements, trying to change laws - concrete successes but no systemic changes. Politics to transform reality. Tool = seminar, tool = demo, tool is politics. 

[power cut] buzzing sound, someone say: we ca just get closer, the speakers stands out from stage, down, reorganisation of sitting arrangements in the room. 
how 15 M opened window of possibility: for different tools and joining the institutions but as well mobilising social movement (trying not to repeat the strategy socialism movemnet done in 80's after F.)
administration closer to poeple and in co-responsibility with people: changing the way how administration works. joiing with neighbourhood movement existing, 

AGR: how woment can step into the visibility in public..?

WS: centering elsewhere rather than rebuilding the old structures: from her experience: entering the institutions, eating movement up, coopting,
