Reading for 8/10

IMPORTANT: starting this week, August 10th, we will no longer be using Jitsi to allow for online participation in our Tuesday night study group. These conversations will henceforth revert to taking place in person, at the usual time and place: every Tuesday from 7:30-9:30pm at The Long Haul Infoshop [3124 Shattuck Ave in Berkeley, CA]. We originally incorporated Jitsi into the group as a means of allowing us to continue convening during the height of social distancing, but with things beginning to return to normal and the downsides of this technological mediation being felt more and more prominently as time has gone on, we have decided to return to a face-to-face format. There will be another group continuing to meet digitally on Thursdays from 6:30-8:30pm at http://meet.jit.si in room name ‘bastardanarchy’. However, to avoid confusion, this site will only be updated with readings for the in-person, Tuesday night Berkeley anarchist study group. Once a new page for posting the weekly readings for the online group is created, a link will be posted here.

Next Tuesday we’re going to look at a few readings from Shawn Wilbur’s ongoing project “Constructing Anarchisms”. We’ll discuss:

Constructing an Anarchism: Approaching An-archy

Constructing an Anarchism: An-Archy

Anarchy and Anarchism – Insides and Outsides

All together it’s a bit longer than our new self-imposed limit of approximately 15 pages, but not by too much, and worth the read I think. See you Tuesday to discuss!
