Writing exercise for 18th of August - reading our own texts

Some of the people who attend the group will write short texts and we'll discuss them during the meeting. Everyone is invited to write! It doesn't need to be an amazingly original and exceptional text.

Formulate problems that are interesting for you, speak about some texts/authors/things that inspire or bother you, or maybe just pose a series of questions. The texts may or may not be published in this blog before the meeting. In case they don't, they will be distributed during the meeting.

UPDATE

Here two of the texts:

The Reproduction of the Inaction

Two Exercises of Imagination

Reading for 4th of August

Breivik's manifesto! I suggest we just read the introduction, until page 37 of the pdf. I don't know if there's any key passages in the book that one shouldn't miss, but the intro seems to contain an analysis of the Frankfurt school and deconstruction that might be interesting to look at.

There's also a video manifesto that seems to be a sort of summary of the 1500 page text; it's just 12 minutes so I suggest we have a look at that as well to get a general idea of Breivik's ideas.

Escalate collective has a new very interesting text up on the protests in the UK, how to relate to the media, the cops and the established unions in the ongoing process of finding new forms of resistance and ways of building collective power.

This will be the reading for next meeting, in addition to our first of may experiences of course!
