LATIN AMERICAN CONFERENCE OF MARXIST MAGAZINES
MAY 1997

The recent Latin American Conference of Marxist Magazines took place on May
1-4 in Florianopolis, Brazil. The meeting was a continuation of
interchange and joint work begun in May 1995 in Santa Maria, Brazil, where
an Interchange Protocol was begun among several marxist magazines from the
region. The second meeting took place in October 1995 in Rosario,
Argentina, and was attended by more than twenty publications from
Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay. A third conference was held n May 1996,
along with a workshop on "Marxism and Capitalism Today: Modernity and
Crisis," organized by Alfaguara from Uruguay. At that time a call was
issued for the Florianopolis meeting, together with a workshop titled "80
Years after the Bolshevik Revolution: The Current State of the
Anti-Capitalist Struggle.

The meeting was organized by the Brazilian groups Praxis and Critica
Marxista, and the Centro de Filosofia y Ciencias Humanas de la Universidad
Federal de Santa Catarina, Brazil, its Sociology, Politics, and History
departments, and its Center for the Study of Changes in the World Of Work
(Nucleo de Estudios de Transformaciones en el Mundo del Trabajo). The
meeting was sponsored by the Santa Catarina regional CUT, the PT/SC, the PC
do B, PCB and the unions APUFSC, SINERGIA, and the Doctors' Union of Santa
Catarina.

The meeting paid homage to the Brazilian educator Paulo Freire, who died at
that time, and issued a statement denouncing the murder of Argentinian
journalist Jose Luis Cabezas and demanding a thorough investigation of the
crime.

A theme was chosen for the 1998 meeting, "150 Years After the Communist
Manifesto." Argentinian magazines will investigate the possiblility of
holding the meeting in Buenos Aires, and will report back within two
months. A bi-lingual publication of the conference papers was also
planned, together with the prefaces from the earlier editions published in
the region.

The Conference recommends that magazines that do not have e-mail addresses
get them and communicate with other groups in the network. The magazine
PRAXIS has made its web page available to other network members:

summaries of each issue as soon as they are published.
