“What do I think of Wikileaks? I think it would be a good idea!” (after Mahatma Gandhi’s famous quip on ‘Western Civilisation’)
We have setup a mailing list for “There is nothing less passive than the act of fleeing.”Click here to signup.
This is a discussion list for The Public School project, “There is nothing less passive than the act of fleeing.”
** What this list is for **
1. We will post any last minute details for or changes to meeting places here.
2. It will be the place for any follow-up discussion and some kind of daily summary.
3. A place where anyone else anywhere (including people at various Public Schools who are reading along or running parallel sessions) to participate as much as you want to – send responses, questions, provocations, photos, demands, etc.

There is nothing less passive than the act of fleeing...
Deadlock: perpetual war, failing economies, the crumbling of education, capitalist realism, our environment in ruin, hostility everywhere.
Resistance? Confrontation? Insurrection?
Exodus: silence, autonomy, occupation, withdrawl, invisibility, friendship.
The Public School is organizing a 13-day seminar, meeting each day at a different location in Berlin. This seminar takes the form of an open reading group, where the texts discussed each day resonate with the site selected. On 18 July The Public School and The Office will host an event to be held at Salon Populaire. The day will unfold as a series of participatory conversations and workshops.

[Thanks to Cybelle for taking notes!]
We began by introducing ourselves and our interest in LA History. Class members then proposed many ideas for "site visits" or lost histories we could explore:
1. Bunker Hill: an active working class neighborhood until apprx. the 50's when houses were torn down, replaced by skyscrapers. The basis of the urban film noir imaginary.

Hi Everyone,
Just a reminder that the first meeting of Specters of LA History & Site-specific Resurrections will be held this Saturday @ noon at The Public School. Here is a note from Zen, one of the class facilitators, about what will take place:
JUNE 19TH
The first class will be an opportunity for us to meet each other, discuss our interests in LA lost communities, and plan out the future "site visits" to explore.
To begin with, I thought we could all look at two short articles by Mike Davis available here:

They are "Sunshine & the Open Shop" and "How Eden Lost its Garden"

This proposal is for localized version of the activities we are doing in Berlin. This link has our reading list and schedule.
Please revise, adapt and/or transform for your city!

hi,
I'm not sure what the plan is for the class but I had a couple of things that might be cool to read/watch/listen to:
Max Ernst and Alchemy
A Magician in Search of Myth
Description:
"Surrealist artist Max Ernst defined collage as the "alchemy of the visual image." Students of his work have often dismissed this comment as simply a metaphor for the transformative power of using found images in a new context. Taking a wholly different perspective on Ernst and alchemy, however, M. E. Warlick persuasively demonstrates that the artist had a profound and abiding interest in alchemical philosophy and often used alchemical symbolism in works created throughout his career."

If we are interested in transitioning into some discussions around game theory after our final session, this looks like it might be a good place to start:
