Répertoire de l’autonomie collective

Le Répertoire est le bottin réunissant tous les groupes que nous avons contactés et dont la forme organisationnelle s’apparente à de l’autogestion ou à ce qu’on a nommé « l’autonomie collective ». Les principaux critères utilisés afin de déterminer si un groupe possède un fonctionnement autogéré sont : une prise de décision horizontale et consensuelle basée sur la démocratie directe et/ou participative. Les coordonnées de chacun des collectifs accompagnent la description de ces derniers ainsi que les sigles correspondant aux caractéristiques qu’ils s’attribuent. À noter que tous les groupes présents ont approuvé la totalité des propos rapportés et que ce sont eux qui ont la responsabilité de nous contacter si des mises à jour doivent être apportées.

Si vous appartenez à un groupe (ou connaissez un groupe) qui aurait sa place dans le répertoire de l'autonomie collective, n'hésitez pas à attirer notre attention! Vous pouvez communiquer avec nous via ce formulaire.

Merci

Collective Autonomy Directory

The directory is a repertory of all the groups we contacted who are organized along the lines of self-management or what is called “collective autonomy”. The chief criterion used to determine if a group is self-managed is horizontal and consensual decision-making based on direct and/or participatory democracy. A description of each collective is provided along with contact information and symbols identifying the characteristics used by the group to define itself. All groups included in the directory have approved what is said here about them and they have the responsibility to contact us if updates are needed.

If you belong to (or know of) a group that ought to be included in the Collective Autonomy Directory, don’t hesitate to let us know! You can use this form to contact us.

Thanks!

Ainsi squattent-elles! (Thus they squat!)

Quebec City
http://www.ainsise.blogspot.com/

This collective produces a radio show on CKIA 88.3 FM. The objective of the show is to allow women to speak for themselves as women, to demystify the anti-authoritarian movement (anarchy, social ecology, coloured people’s feminism, etc.) and to make different social struggles, as well as women artists, known. Combining theoretical analysis with interviews from the ground, Ainsi squattent-elles presents pieces on self-care, poetry readings, and experiences of self-organization here and elsewhere.

Hommes contre le patriarcat (Men against Patriarchy)
17 October 2010
Montreal

Hommes contre le patriarcat is a pro-feminist, radical affinity group which recognizes that the feminist struggle is a class struggle and a struggle for the freedom of women and thus accepts that it  belongs entirely to women. The collective supports feminist activists, specifically by addressing men. Its main aim is to quell masculinist groups, but it also tries to bring radical change to their so-called private lives, attempting to eliminate sexism and patriarchy in their behaviours and attitudes.

Les Sorcières (The Witches)
17 October 2010
Montreal

Radical feminist collective active against the oppression of women. They publish a journal by the same name which serves as a "space of expression, analysis, creativity and subversity which, from the perspective of struggle, can have an influence across the collectivity (…) to move, transform, create a momentum away from the stagnation into which the mass media attempts to sink us." They also organize launches, workshops, and direct actions. The Sorcières also try to denounce machismo in activist circles and to carry out feminist conscientization.

Nemesis
17 October 2010
Montreal

Radical feminist affinity group which aimed to unlearn attitudes and behaviours of internalized domination, to put anarchist and feminist beliefs into practice, to encourage the creation of affinity groups and direct action. This collective gave numerous trainings on "Women and globalization" and "Radical nonviolence". Nemesis also organized and participated in many actions with other feminist groups.  

Founded in 2000 as the Women's committee of SalAMI, it assumed its new name in 2002 when it became an autonomous collective. It ceased to exist in 2005.
