Publications
We’ve produced three publications so far.
The first was a 32 page newspaper, distributed at the protests against the 2007 G8 Summit in Heiligendamm. It contained 14 articles each addressing the question, ‘What would it mean to win?’ This was a reference to a famous piece of graffiti, reading ‘We are winning’, sprayed on a wall in Seattle during the protests against the World Trade Organisation (WTO) in 1999. We posed the question, several years later – at a time when the globalisation movements were somewhat less sure about their ability to create change – as to what this, exactly, would mean. You can read all the articles here, or download the whole paper as a PDF.
Our second publication was a single, collectively written text entitled ‘Move into the Light? Postscript to a turbulent 2007’. We published this as a pamphlet, and it was also republished as a journal article in ‘ephemera: theory and politics in organization’ along with a new ‘Introduction’. (And for those of you who always wanted to know why this was numbered Turb_03, it’s ‘cos _02 was a workshop held at the Camp for Climate Action in the UK in August 2007.)
Our third publication came out this summer. It’s a 64 page colour newsprint magazine, broadly themed around the issue of ‘futures’. As ever, all articles have also been published online here.
We’ve also got a book coming out later this year, in collaboration with PM Press. It will contain much of Turb_01 and _3, as well as an interview with two collective members and a new Introduction.
A complete list of everything we’ve ever written, including various short statements can be found here.

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
