A few last links for everyone

1) Sort of the opposite of music to soften the sounds of knives and forks, here's our final discussion on Anti-Oedipus set to the sounds of food and drink. A sure crowd pleaser for all who thought our intellects were sharp but needed more sounds of chewing and slurping before we'd have a big radio hit.

"Since 1993 millions of Roman Catholics have petitioned the Pope to proclaim a new dogma that would effectively add Mary to the Holy Trinity" says Ronald F. Hock of USC in the introduction to his 2004 book Banned Book of Mary concerning the forbidden Infancy Gospel of James written about 150 A.D. This class would not focus on the above mentioned petition per se, but on a much more radical reading of the Infancy Gospel of James, one which could claim Mary herself to be Christ, besides ofcourse the established place of her Son, Jesus Christ. This class is by no means a pontification, but a simple exploratory publication of this perennial, albeit unsexy, heresy.

Scenes from a Revolt Sustained: A Reportback from Tunisia

5 June 2012 – 7:30PM
The Brecht Forum
451 West Street, New York, NY 10014

This Tuesday we will host a reportback from some comrades who spent some weeks in April traveling around Tunisia, meeting with militants, rebels, anarchists, Stalinists, council communists, unionists, students, unemployed, et al.

During our trip we tried to meet with those working to continue the revolutionary process, and to hear their analyses on the current situation; going back to the immediate responses to Mohamed Bouazizi’s suicide of December 17th, 2010, and beyond. With very little information on Tunisia ever coming through Western media, we felt a particular void of English-language translations of Tunisian militants. So it was this we tried to document in a feature-length documentary film scheduled to be released this summer.
