Yugoslavian punk – special part of punk history presented by Igor “BIGor” Basin Slovenian punk (and Yugoslavian in general) has a unique position on the world-wide map of punk movements. As a fast answer from eastern socialistic Europe to the happenings on the western punk front it was also the very beginning of the fall of the Berlin wall. Its authenticity and originality came from different socio-political situation than the one found in the West and that seems to be the main distinction point from the western phenomenon. In the beginning it was original but in the middle of the 80's and especially in the second half of the 80's it had started to lose its powerful charge of ideas and expressions. Searching for an answer what killed the authenticity of Slovenian (and Yugoslavian) punk it will be covered with the story of punk era in Slovenia (and Yugoslavia). 
12:00-13:00 Caricatura Recuperation of Punk Ideas in Punk Mythologies presented by Sezgin Boynik After a short introduction into the history and the ideas of the Situationist International (S.I.) Sezgin Boyniks talk will show which influence the situationist ideas had on the punk movement. At the same time he will criticize the recuperation (the trivialisation and invalidation of subversive strategies by the capital) of these ideas in the punk discourse and especially in Greil Marcus „Lipstick Traces“. The main part of the talk will focus on the English section of the S.I. which had a direct connection to the emerging punk scene of 1976. By analyzing posters of Jamie Reid and some songlyrics of the Sex Pistols Boynik will document how punk used the situationist method of détournement (the theft of aesthetic artefacts from their original context and their diversion into a context of ones own device) and generated into the recuperated form of situationism with an attitude of apolitical and nihilistic negation. 13:30-15:00 Caricatura Un-imagining Utopia: Punk vs. Hippy ... Punk after Punk presented by Dick Hebdige In the almost 30 years since Richard Hell et al. at CBGB's in New York and John Lydon & co. at the World's End in London snagged the public's eye and ear and kicked the corpse of hippy dreaming, the world has witnessed the fall of the Berlin Wall, the World Trade Center, the organized Left and the welfare state, the meteoric rise of McDonalds burger empire, neo-tribalism and ethnic cleansing, the internet, the mobile phone, religious fundamentalism, Jihadism, the Bush-led "War on Terror" and the stabilisation to permanence of punk as (anti)-fashion statement, marketable music genre and secessionist life-style choice. What , if anything, connects the original movement and the "spirit of 77" to punk in 2004? This talk looks at punk in relation to changing ideas about and attitudes towards youth and youth culture, consumerism, the power of perversion, the value of negation, the politics of insubordination, sex and love. It will be argued that one of the strongest threads binding punk then to punk now is an abiding ambivalence towards the idea and the prospect of 'Utopia'. 
12:00-12:30 ING Schule Fanzines – Do it Yourself! presented by Christian Schmidt und Dominik Scholl Punk led to an explosion of the independent or better the autonomous fan press. During the hightime of the boom the authors of „Wir waren Helden für einen Tag“ („We have been heroes for just one day“) counted 305 publications only in the German language area (without the estimated number of unknown cases). Only a few survived. Nevertheless after punk nothing was the same. Christian Schmidt from the Berlin based archive of youthcultures will talk about the history and the significance of fanzines. 15:15-16:00 Caricatura The German Top 100 presented by Dr. Thomas Lau Germany is searching for the „Punk Idol“ - We are not that far yet.

Nothing more, nothing less. 16:30-17:30 Caricatura From the Trash Can to the Electric Ballroom: The musical roots of Punkrock 1955-77 presented by Siegfried Kalus A closer look at bands, artists and music-styles that influenced the formation of punk rock.
