article by david de leon:
The American as Anarchist
Reflections on indigenous radicalism

here is the pdf Daniel De Leon
and there are a few hard copies at the long haul

the plan for this tuesday is to discuss the review at

The Ibn ‘Arabi effect

and the april conference…

reading for the ninth is some excerpts from an interview of audrey goodfriend, who will be making a special guest appearance ( 😉 ) to talk about her history, and what allows someone to remain an anarchist for her whole life. there is one extra copy of the reading at the long haul.

first of all, this week is potluck week. there has been a request/thought that this month be pumpkin-themed, but more essentially, vegan and gluten-free is nice.
the potluck part starts at 7 pm.

Release to Us the Field

By Frére Dupont

In his consideration of Tiqqun’s Introduction to Civil War, Frére
Dupont identifies the group’s self-perceived “radical subjectivity” as an elitist trap which has long plagued ultra-left and avant garde
movements. As an ‘anti-political communist’ writer often identified
with Tiqqun, he explores how their construction of a we/they polarity
represents a crucial difference between them

The Theory Of Bloom

to cater to the history fans among us (vastly outnumbered, poor things), we’re showing a movie of interviews about the spanish civil war. a couple of movies were mentioned so i’m not sure which one this is, but i’m sure it’s the better of the two.

as always, other topics of the day will undoubtedly come up.

we will be reading a pamphlet called burning the cassette, which is not available on line. there are extra copies in the long haul (bastard mail box – ask a staffer).
it’s french-inspired theory from some folks in the north west.
it might be a two week reading, since it’s long.
other upcoming possibilities are a brand new movie (of reminiscences by oldtimers about the spanish civil war), that was sent to audrey for special preview, and a reading from agamben.
(continuing the polarized trajectories of history and theory…!)

is no reading at all. we will be watching a movie, put out by the bernadette something (sigh)… and then talking about it for an hour.
i’m sure this would sound more interesting if i could remember anything that alden said about this movie, but it sounded like it would be good. so come and bring popcorn!

first tuesday of the month! potluck! woo hoo! come hang out and bring/eat food (preferably vegan and wheat free). make friends with the nice people (and the glowery people will just sit quietly in the corner for the duration 😉 ).
the reading is “locked up” by Bonanno.
then 9/14 we will be continuing the theme of anarchist queer theory with the reading from pink & black attack #6, “preliminary notes on procreation…” brought to us by the copying skills of jean (yay jean!).
