From the forward:
"Arguably, today the act of social networking is commodified more
visibly and materially than ever before…This commodification shoudn't
hinder us to work in relationship to one another and in a social and
political context. Social memory with a sense of history and political
demands seems to have undergone an accelerated and profound erasure.
This rapid memory loss is facilitated by media consolidation and the
plundering of public education programs to fund global mercenary
actions."
With this issue, we look at how cultural production (in art, music,
speech, writing, interventions, video, and everyday life) attempt to
create culturally based alternatives to oppression and war. Within the
context of community and grassroots movements creating meaning for
their participants and for broader society, again The Journal looks
for ways to create counter-narratives and progressive social movements
from the bottom up. From the bottom up- often meaning from a position
of people having to do-it-themselves (outside traditional governmental
or cultural institutions). This act involves trying to remember shared
history, discuss potentially shared values, perform immediately shared
ideals, and publicly debate or interrupt suspect truths, and on how it
is to be together.
This issue is a collection of transcripts, performance transcripts,
speeches, analytical essays, campaign critiques, interviews, email
conversations and projects. We are not only presenting critical
theory, we are also present to you documents and voices for you to
critically investigate.
