Dr Joseph Toscano (born 1952) is a medical practitioner, a broadcaster and an anarchist who lives in Melbourne, Australia. He has become widely known as an anarchist spokesperson for the ''Anarchist Media Institute'' through his broadcasting on community radio, his frequent letters to newspapers such as The Age and Herald Sun and his initiation of community campaigns. He is married to Ellen Jose. He was educated in Brisbane at the University of Queensland where he acquired his Bachelor of Medicine/Surgery, then his doctoral degree from University of Melbourne. When he moved to Melbourne in 1977 Dr Toscano established an activist group called the ''Libertarian Workers for a Self-Managed Society''. Dr Toscano has presented the long running ''Anarchist World this week'' program on 3CR since 1977,〔''(Nova forces shakeup at Triple M )'' By Farah Farouque, The Age, 11 April 2002. Accessed 30 May 2007〕 which is also rebroadcast to community radio stations around Australia through the Community Radio Satellite managed by Community Broadcasting Association of Australia (CBAA). A talk back show with Joe Toscano is also a popular 3CR program.〔(3CR Programming ) Accessed 1 May 2007〕 A weekly newsletter, the ''Anarchist Age Weekly Review'' has been compiled by Joe Toscano since 1991 and distributed around the world. ==Anarchist Centenary Celebrations== The Australian Anarchist Centenary Celebrations in Melbourne from 1–4 May 1986 were used by some anarchists to rebuff the negative connotations placed on the word "anarchy". Dr Joseph Toscano told a reporter from the Sun "Anarchy is a bogey word: we are coming out of the closet, as it were, to show that we do not have horns or tails. We are simply Australians who have a different philosophy of life. We don't believe in Big Government: in fact, we don't believe in government at all. Government, any government is based on violence and power. If you don't believe it, just look at your headlines over the past few weeks. Anarchy doesn't mean bombs in the street or supersonic bomber raids, it means 'without rulers'. Anarchy means voluntary co-operation and self-management, equality, shared economic decision making."〔''Anarchists come out of the closet with a friendly smile'' The Sun, 24 April 1986〕 The Centenary celebrations included a May Day march on 1 May of about 400 people, including several large puppets and a number of anarchists from around the world.〔''Anarchists celebrate 100 years, but the march confuses some'' The Age, 2 May 1986〕 Over the weekend several events occurred including an anarchist film festival, banner, poster and historical displays, a two-day conference held at RMIT and Melbourne University, and a picnic in the Royal Botanic Gardens, Melbourne.〔The Age, 30 April 1986〕 After the Anarchist Centenary Celebrations the ''Anarchist Media Institute'' was established by Dr Toscano and other Melbourne anarchists to increase the media profile of anarchists and correct bias and misconceptions about anarchism in the media.〔(Australian Press Council ) Adjudication No. 1239 (April 2004)〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Joseph Toscano」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
