5 talks from the 2011 Anarchist Book Fair in Sheffield:
Elephants, Dogmas and Taboos: a Friendly Critique of Anarchism
This talk was advertised with the following text:
"Anarchism is often unthinkingly dismissed - or uncritically embraced. This session takes a provocative look at anarchism, challenging a number of ideas taken for granted by most anarchists, to see how feasible - and desirable - anarchism really is."
Anarchism 101
This talk was advertised as:
"Everything you wanted to know about anarchism/libertarian communism but were afraid to ask. A panel discussion featuring members of the Anarchist Federation http://www.afed.org.uk/ , Solidarity Federation http://www.solfed.org.uk/ and the Commune http://thecommune.co.uk/ . "
Sorry the start of the discussion is missing, it's probably only the first 10mins at most that was missed.

Luddites Organising Forum
This talk was advertised with the following blurb:
"From 1811 to 1813, thousands of textile workers in Nottinghamshire, Yorkshire and Lancashire rose up against the mill owners, by smashing the power looms which were throwing them into unemployment and starvation. In 2011, anarchists, labour organisers and green activists will be celebrating the 200th anniversary of the Luddite rebellion and planning resistance to the new industrial revolution we see today. This workshop will look at the expansion of corporate power through nanotechnology, biotechnology, surveillance, information and other technologies, and at how we can resist these developments in the spirit of our comrades 200 years ago."
