monopolies on knowledge and life. Towards a convergence of movements
is a work that tries to draw connections possible between different groups working on the wealth generated by society.
What they have in common peasant struggles, the hacker ethic, teenagers who download music on the web and researchers at public universities? Much more than it seems. The issue of "free of monopolies on knowledge and life. Towards a convergence of movements "is an attempt to draw connections possible on that diversity. Indeed, the presentation that was made this week at the Faculty of Social Sciences, UBA brought speakers to suit all tastes. The director of the Career Communications, Alejandro Kaufman, was joined by mathematical Enrique Chaparro, community radio activist Sebastián Vázquez, musician and programmer Matthias Nicholas Lennie Echaniz. Together they insisted on a warning: you must stop the privatization wave that looms over intangibles, that "other wealth" generated by the companies and covers from the music to the algorithms, through educational texts and deciphering the human genome .

The scholar said that the current system is not content to measure, quote, sell and buy everything there. "As everything can be used to produce more capital, is just that - everything! - Which is under the management of power, submitting to the logic of value every thing in the world. In that respect, this compilation is to outline a certain state of affairs in matters having to do with basic needs of the body and spirit, "he said.
