Hi all. the following message is from Travis who will teach tomorrow's class.

See you at Eyebeam 1pm. 

We will have the class inside of conference room, which you can find toward your right side of the entrance. 

Leave a comment here to show you are coming. 

Heraclitus

The Becoming

ποταμοίσι τοίσιν αυτοίσιν εμβαίνουσιν, έτερα και έτερα ύδατα επιρρεί.

Ever-newer waters flow on those who step into the same rivers

The quote from Heraclitus appears in Plato's Cratylus twice:

τα όντα ιέναι τε πάντα και μένειν ουδέν

All things move and nothing remains still

Hi everyone - I wish I could have been coming to the sessions recently, but I only recently found a job and I'm struggling to find housing. Anyway, yesterday the journal Multitudes published a recent piece by Negri called "Letter to a Tunisian Friend" and I did translation of it with the hopes you might find it interesting or relevant to your discussions. It's quick and artless and likely riddled with mistakes, but maybe you'll find something useful in it.

hm, just came across this article that I think illustrates Bonanno's point that reducing work is not the same as destroying it, since capital itself (here, a conservative German gov't) is interested in reducing work as a way of managing unemployment:
