conference on david’s dismantling myths for new alt

or perhaps not so difficult.. if we let go enough to give imagination (something legit different) a legit try.. ie: a sabbatical ish transition.. nothing to date has gotten to the root of problem.. ie: the thing we’ve not yet tried/seen: the unconditional part of left to own devices ness

David Graeber between Anthropology and Philosophy – BOLOGNA, RAVENNA, REGGIO-EMILIA conference .. via simona ferlini fb share in david graeber discussion form

[simona put on the whole thing.. from idea.. to funding.. to selecting.. to scheduling.. no wonder it sounds so amazing]

will add more once they send link to join remote.. just adding this for now from link [https://www.facebook.com/events/646855038473862]:

This is a time of change, the end of a world, a _kairos_ in which everything is possible, yet we remain stuck, lost in a labyrinth of myths that traps us in a seemingly inevitable present, and makes us so unable to imagine different futures that, in the face of the crisis of capitalism, we desperately cling to the status quo out of fear of what lies ahead.

Dismantling this labyrinth has been the task Graeber pursued throughout his life: that’s why in these times we need his work more than ever, if we are to reclaim our collective capacity to reinvent ourselves

graeber laws et al.. david graeber ons.. two books et al..

This is why we have chosen to dedicate a conference to his legacy:
it shall be three days:
– in Bologna, October the 6th
– Ravenna, October the 7th
– Reggio Emilia, October the 8th

We are as distrustful of the “monastic self” as Graeber was, and we want this to be as much of a conversation as possible: we will leave ample space for it and we will not invite the audience to ask questions, but to participate in the discussion.

beyond the monastic self et al

especially interested in: oct 6 – 10:00 – 10:30 Simona Ferlini, Sive Natura, University of Bologna
