[SSC] CANCELLED: What are you reading for? December 7th.

[Stevphen Shukaitis]

Sorry about that! But I'm really looking forward to meeting folks and 
finding out what you're up to, and well as chatting about labor, 
pedagogy, and other such wonderful things...

Cheers

"Autonomy is not a fixed, essential state. Like gender, autonomy is created through its performance, by doing/becoming; it is a political practice. To become autonomous is to refuse authoritarian and compulsory cultures of separation and hierarchy through embodied practices of welcoming difference... Becoming autonomous is a political position for it thwarts the exclusions of proprietary knowledge and jealous hoarding of resources, and replaces the social and economic hierarchies on which these depend with a politics of skill exchange, welcome, and collaboration. Freely sharing these with others creates a common wealth of knowledge and power that subverts the domination and hegemony of the master’s rule." - subRosa Collective
