6 | A new wave of student movements and occupations of university buildings is taking place around Europe. | Hita manerana an'i Eorôpa ireo onjanà hetsika anà mpianatra sy fibodoana ireo tranoben'ny anjerimanontolo. |
7 | In Amsterdam, on March 25, 2015, the movement Nieuwe Universiteit (New University) marked the first month of occupation of the Maagdenhuis, an administrative building of the University of Amsterdam (UvA) located in Spui at the very center of the city. | Any Amsterdam, ny 25 Marsta 2015, nanamarika ny volana voalohan'ny fibodoana ny Maagdenhuis, tranobe fanaovana ny raharaham-pitantanan'ny anjerimanontolon'i Amsterdam (UvA), izay ao Spui ao afovoan'ny tanàn-dehibe, ny hetsika Nieuwe Universiteit (Anjerimanontolo Vaovao). |
8 | Until April 11, when they were evicted by riot police, a group of students occupied the building, organising a range of activities such as lectures, workshops and presentations and supported by local and international intellectuals. | Hatramin'ny 11 Aprily, fony izy ireo noroahan'ny mpitandro filaminana mpandrava korontana, nibodo ilay tranobe ny vondron'ireo mpianatra, nikarakara hetsika karazany maro toy ny fivoriana, atrikasa sy fampahafantarana ary notohanan'ireo manam-pahaizana eo an-toerana sy any ivelany. |
9 | The students demanded direct democracy, participation in the university's management processes, and the halting of financial cuts and the progressive corporatization of the university. | Mangataka ny hisian'ny demôkrasia mivantana ireo mpianatra, ny fandraisana anjara amin'ireo fizotry ny fitantanana ny anjerimanontolo, ary ny fanajanonana ny fampidinana ny fanampiana ara-bola sy ny fanovàna tsikelikely ny anjerimanontolo ho lasa toy ny orinasa. |
10 | University student movements rising up around Europe are proof of one of the biggest crisis of our time: the crisis of knowledge. | Porofon'ny kirizy lehibe indrindra amin'izao fotoanantsika izao ny hetsik'ireo mpianatra eny amin'ny anjerimanontolo manerana an'i Eorôpa: ny kirizin'ny fahalalàna. |
11 | It is when knowledge has become unchallengeable and indisputable that people feel disconnected from the world in which they live, and from the contribution they themselves are aiming to make to society. | Io dia rehefa lasa tsy azo ihodivirana sy iadian-kevitra ny fahalalàna, fa mahatsapa ireo vahoaka fa tapaka fifandraisana amin'ny toerana izay iainan'izy ireo, ary amin'ny fitondràna anjara biriky kendren'izy ireo ho entiny ho an'ny fiarahamonina. |
12 | Education for a human being is a window to the world. | Varavarankely misokatra mankany amin'izao tontolo izao ny fampianarana ny olona. |
13 | It should trigger curiosity and offer the keys for people to dream and to be creative and inspired in envisioning the world they desire to live in. | Tokony hanaitra ny toetra tia karokaroka io ary hanome fanalahidy ho an'ny olona mba hanonofy sy hahay hamorona ary hanana aingam-panahy mba haminavina ny tontolo tiany hiainana. |
14 | However, when universities appear condemned to reflect the structures of the current economic and highly bureaucratic financial system, there is little room for honest dialogue and critical confrontation, and for the wise exploration of challenging narratives and alternatives within this current phase of human history. | Kanefa, raha hita ho voaozona hisaina ireo firafitry ny fomba fitantànana ara-bola sy ara-toekarena ankehitriny ary ny fomba fiasa an-databatra fotsiny ireo anjerimanontolo, kely ihany ny toerana ho an'ny fifampiresahana mahitsy sy ny fifampitovian-kevitra, ary ny fitrandrahana am-pahendrena ireo tantara sy zavatra azo ampiasaina ao anatin'izao vanim-potoanan'ny tantaran'ny olombelona izao. |
15 | In the context of this gloomy scenario, groups of students disillusioned by the perspectives of the present and inspired by fresh ideals have chosen to react by occupying university buildings. | Ao anatin'ity seho maizimaizina ity, nisafidy ny hihetsika amin'ny fibodoana ireo tranoben'ny anjerimanontolo ireo vondrona mpianatra diso fanantenana amin'ny fisehon'ny ankehitriny ary tsofin'ireo idealy vaovao. |
16 | On February 13, academics and students of the Nieuwe Universiteit occupied the Bungehuis building in response to reforms announced by the UvA. | Ny 13 Febroary, ho valin'ireo fanovàna nolazain'ny UvA, nibodo ny tranobe Bungehuis ireo eny amin'ny anjerimanontolo sy ireo mpianatra ao amin'ny Nieuwe Universiteit. |
17 | After negotiations with the Board of Directors failed, the occupiers, who refused to leave the building, were evicted by the police. | Taorian'ny tsy fahombiazan'ny fifampiraharahàna niaraka tamin'ny Filankevitry ny Fitantanana, noroahan'ireo mpitandro filaminana ireo mpibodo, izay tsy nety niala tao amin'ilay tranobe. |
18 | That same night, a group of students forced the door of the Maagdenhuis, the UvA's main administrative building, and began the occupation that continued until April 11. | Ny alin'iny ihany, nisy vondrona mpianatra nanapitsoka ny varavaran'ny Maagdenhuis, tranobe ivon'ny fitantanan'ny UvA, ary nanomboka ny fibodoana izay nitohy hatramin'ny 11 Aprily . |
19 | The movement's goals are pursued through a process of direct democracy and self organisation. | Arahana ao anatin'ny zotranà demôkrasia mivantana sy fikarakaràn'ny tena ihany, avy amin'ireo voakasika marina, ny tanjon'ilay hetsika. |
20 | In a pamphlet entitled “Antithese”, students and academics behind the Nieuwe Universiteit movement affirm that they “were finally ridding ourselves of a sort of postmodern cynicism”. | Ao aminà taratasy kely mitondra ny lohateny hoe “Antithese”, manamafy ireo mpianatra sy mpiasan'ny anjerimanontolo ao ambadik'ilay hetsika “Nieuwe Universiteit” fa “niala tamin'izy ireo nony farany ny karazana toetra tsy mety mifampiraharaha taorian'ny fivoarana”. |
21 | The action of occupation, in other words, is for them a reaction to the growing apathy of the younger generations who have internalised a feeling of powerlessness. | Amin'ny lafiny iray, ho azy ireo ilay hetsika fibodoana dia fihetsika nateraky ny fikobonana mitombo hatrany manjo ireo tanora ankehitriny izay nikotrika tao anatiny ny fihetseham-po ho tsy afa-manoatra. |
22 | “The logic of the system is to produce people who are unable and feel that they are unable and that agree that they are unable,” said Jacques Rancière, a French philosopher who spoke at the Maagdenhuis during the occupation. | “Ny làlan-kevitr'ilay rafitra dia ny famokarana olona tsy afaka manao zavatra sy mahatsapa fa tsy afaka manao zavatra tokoa ary miaiky fa tsy afaka manao zavatra,” hoy i Jacques Rancière, Filôzôfy Frantsay izay niteny tao amin'ny Maagdenhuis nandritra ilay fibodoana. |
23 | In this first month of activities at the Maagdenhuis, the movement hosted workshops, feature films and documentaries screenings, music concerts and daily lectures with professors and intellectuals such as American activist David Graeber, a leading figure in the Occupy movement. | Tamin'io volana voalohan'ireo hetsika tao amin'ny Maagdenhuis io, nampiantrano atrikasa ny mpanao fihetsiketsehana, nandefa horonantsary lava sy fanadihadiana, nanao kaonseritra mozika ary fivoriana matetika miaraka amin'ireo mpampianatra sy ireo manampahaizana toy ilay Amerikana mpikatroka mafana fo David Graeber, olona malaza mpitarika ny Hetsika “Occupy” (Bodoy). |
24 | During these weeks, the word “occupation” was often replaced with the word “liberation”. | Nandritra izay herinandro maromaro izay, matetika novaina hoe “fanafahana” ilay teny hoe “fibodoana”. |
25 | In the pamphlet “Onruststoker”, a member of the movement acknowledged the lack of a concrete plan for the future. | Ao amin'ny taratasy kely “Onruststoker”, miaiky ny tsy fahampian'ny drafitra mivaingana ho an'ny ho avy ny mpikambana iray ao anatin'ilay hetsika. |
26 | “The negation of what is by no means a final stage,” the member wrote, can be pursued through creative freedom that “animates our ideals, rough, subjective and diverse as they may still be, into experiments.” | “Tsytanjona farany hotratrarina ny fandàvana ny efa misy,” hoy ny mpikambana nanoratra, mety afaka tohizana amin'ny fahalalahana mamorona izay “manaitaitra ireo idealy arahantsika, mikintaontaona, mbola mijery tavan'olona sy ny hafa koa, araka izay mety mbola misy azy hatrany, ao anatinà fianarana daholo.” |
27 | “We are not only occupying this space,” said Michiel, a student who joined the movement after the occupation of the Maagdenhuis had begun. | Fandraisam-pitenenan'i Jacques Rancière tao amin'ny Maagdenhuis voabodo, ny 24 Martsa 2015. Sary avy tamin'i Nicola Zolin. |
28 | “We have started feeling part of a big family, as new occupations are happening elsewhere.” | Nahazoana alalana “Tsy mibodo fotsiny ity toerana ity izahay,” hoy i Michiel, mpianatra iray izay nanjohy ilay hetsika taorian'ny nanombohana ny fibodoana ny Maagdenhuis. |
29 | | “Nanomboka nahatsapa ho anisan'ny fianakaviana iray lehibe izahay, satria misy fibodoana vaovao manomboka any an-kafa rehetra any.” |
30 | The news of the occupation of an administrative building at the London School of Economics (LSE) in London on March 18 brought new confidence to the students in Amsterdam. | Nitondra fahatokisana ho an'ireo mpianatra ao Amsterdam ireo vaovaon'ny fibodoana ny tranobe fanaovana ny raharaham-pitantanana ao amin'ny London School of Economics (LSE) (Fianarana ny Toekarena) ao Londona ny 18 Marsta. |
31 | As a representative of the LSE occupation said: “the power of occupations is that they create a domino effect: this is only the beginning.” | Satria niteny ny mpisolo tena ny hetsika fibodoana LSE hoe: “ny herin'ireo hetsika fibodoana dia noho izy mahatonga vokany sahala amin'ny daomy alahatra: vao fanombohany fotsiny io.” |
32 | A few weeks earlier in Canada, students had started strikes at York University and the University of Toronto, lamenting the insufficient and unequal allocation of resources to course instructors and teaching assistants. | Vao herinandro vitsivitsy lasa izay tao Canada, nanomboka fitokonana tao amin'ny Anjerimanontolon'i New York sy ny Anjerimanontolon'i Toronto ireo mpianatra, mitaraina ny tsy fahampiana sy tsy fitovian'ny fanampiana ara-bola ho an'ireo mpampianatra mpiandraikitra ny fampianarana sy ireo mpampianatra mpanampy. |
33 | At the time of the occupation, the students in Amsterdam were confident that their demands would be heard. | Amin'izao fotoanan'ny fibodoana izao, mino ireo mpianatra ao Amsterdam fa ho henoina ny fangatahan‘izy ireo. |
34 | “One of the demands is the stopping of real estate speculation with money that is supposed to be for research and teaching,” said Joyce Pijnenburg, a former UvA student who renounced a career in academia on account of the dysfunction that she was now denouncing. | “Iray amin'ireo fangatahana ireo ny fanajanonana ny fitànana ireo vola izay tokony hampiasaina amin'ny fikarohana sy fampianarana,” hoy i Joyce Pijnenburg, mpianatra fahiny tao amin'ny UvA, izay niala tamin'ny asany tao amin'ny anjerimanontolo noho ny tsy fandehan'ny asa izay ampangainy ankehitriny. Fandraisam-pitenenan'i Jacques Rancière ao Maagdenhuis voabodo, ny 24 Martsa 2015. |

36 | “In 1969, the government listened to the students and changed the governance of the university by means of law,” recalled Michele Mugia, a UvA philosophy student and activist. | Nahazoana alalana Nampahatsiahy i Michele Mugia, mpianatra taranja filôzofia sy mpikatroka mafana fo, fa “tamin'ny taona 1969, nihaino ireo mpianatra ny governemanta ary nanova ny fitantanana ny anjerimanontolo tamin'ny alalan'ny lalàna”. |
37 | Mugia was a leading organizer of events and meetings during the month of occupation and he was proud to report that “everyone here believes they have written history and future at the same time.” | Iray amin'ireo mpitarika sy mpikarakara ireo hetsika sy ireo fivoriana nandritra ny volan'ny fibodoana i Mugia, ary faly izy nitatitra fa “samy mino ny tsirairay ato fa nanoratra tantara no sady manoratra ny hoavy koa.” |
38 | Bertie Kaal, a teacher at the UvA who supports the struggle of the Nieuwe Universiteit, recalled that “the achievement of the occupation of the 1969 were lost in the following decades, as the top-down system gradually became dominant”. | Bertie Kaal, mpampianatra ao amin'ny UvA izay manohana ny tolon'ny Nieuwe Universiteit, dia nampahatsiahy fa “very tao anatin'ireo taompolo nanaraka io ny zavabitan'ny hetsika fibodoana tamin'ny taona 1969, satria lasa nanomboka nibahana ny rafitra fiasa teny-midina”. |
39 | Kaal said that most teachers were now afraid to protest, fearing that they would lose their jobs. | Nilaza i Kaal fa matahotra ny hanao hetsi-panoherana ankehitriny ny ankamaroan'ireo mpampianatra, matahotra ny ho very asa. |
40 | “I am happy that the students are protesting also because the professors aren't doing it,” Kaal said. | “Faly aho hoe manao hetsi-panoherana ihany koa ireo mpianatra satria tsy manao izany ireo mpampianatra,” hoy i Kaal. |
41 | The students behind the Nieuwe Universiteit united and claim to be fearless. | Miray ary milaza ho tsy manan-tahotra ireo mpianatra ao ambadiky ny Nieuwe Universiteit. |
42 | “Other movements and political parties have gotten inspiration from us,” said Michiel, “and the sense of what is possible if you start acting and creating what you believe you stand for. | “Nahazo aingam-panahy taminay ireo hetsika hafa sy antoko pôlitika,” hoy i Michiel, “ary ny dikan'ny hoe misy ny zavatra afaka atao rehefa manomboka manao zavatra sy mamorona ny zavatra inoanao sy hitsangananao ianao. |
43 | That's what we're seeing happening here.” | Izany no zavatra hitantsika mitranga eto.” |
