Society is a Prison/Operation Wake Up CKDU 88.1 FM

Gary Kinsman’s talk will focus on the history of queer liberation organizing in Canada, moving from its radical roots in the social and class struggles of the late 1960s and early 1970s to the moderate, integrationist organizations that dominate in our communities today. These mainstream groups focus on formal legal equality and acceptance within neo-liberal capitalism. Kinsman will argue that we need to resist this new paradigm by remembering the radical roots and origins of our struggles. The talk will include stories of resistance to the national security campaigns against queers, including some of the organizing that has taken place in Nova Scotia and Halifax. Kinsman will outline the class, racialized and gendered features of the emergence of the “neo-liberal queer” and will offer suggestions on how radical, activist queer organizing can be re-ignited today. Gary Kinsman is a long-time queer liberation, anti-poverty and anti-capitalist activist. He is the author of The Regulation of Desire: Homo and Hetero Sexualities, co-author (with Patrizia Gentile) of The Canadian War on Queers: National Security as Sexual Regulation, and editor of Whose National Security? And of Sociology for Changing the World. He is currently working on a new book project called The Making of the Neo-Liberal Queer. He lived in Nova Scotia in the early 1990s where he was involved in gay and AIDS activism. He currently teaches sociology at Laurentian University in Sudbury, Ontario, on the historic territories of the Atikameksheng Anishnawbek nation where he is active in the Sudbury Coalition Against Poverty and the Palestine Solidarity Working Group.

Society is a Prison/Operation Wake Up CKDU 88.1FM

Student debt isn't just a personal liability; it is part of a broader system that fundamentally limits our horizons. This presentation names the university as a central institution of a new chapter of capitalist history, one that isn't only interested in exploiting people...'s bodies, but also their minds. Struggles against the corporatization and privatization of universities, in Quebec and elsewhere, aren't just about lower tuition fees - they are a fight for the future itself: the future of our economy, our society, and our minds.

Salute to Kate Bush

Kate Bush appeared suddenly in 1977 with the worldwide hit "Wuthering Heights," and for the next fifteen years she was one of the ultimate cult stars of British pop with a fantastically devoted fan base. Then she took a long leave and raised a child and came back to the public in 2005. Tonight in honor of Kate's 54th birthday July 30, I listen back to her music over the era and jump with her to the present. So if you don't know her music let this be a bit of introduction, and a reminder of her powerful poetic musicality. This is progressive rock sprinkled with a touch of sadness. This is the music of our time.

Reading Reading

"I’ve been reading a book about reading. It’s got my mind running in circles, so already its title is appropriate, Becoming Beside Ourselves. It’s by Brian Rotman, who makes a case that the habits of the alphabet, of reading and writing, have added such a wide collection of skills and rituals to Western culture and so influenced the post-natal development of the brain that we’re too immersed to be aware of how much alphabetic reading and writing are responsible for notions at the foundation of Western thought, like our concept of mind, and logic, and our ability to imagine what Rotman calls a “disembodied monobeing”...."

Collapse

"These are some notes I made during a trip to the island of LaGonave in Haiti a few years ago. Birdchirp and overcast. Dogbark chorus at night. So much is the same: the morning air, the way they laugh. Starlight on the limestone road. Madan Kloka is on the hill above me planting something. Her sheets flap in the wind. Jared Diamond describes “Montanans” in Collapse. They resemble “Idahoans”, but are more glamorous. Bigger sky. It’s weird to hear yourself explained to the average reader, thrown up in relief against what’s commonplace... " Transcript: AuthorNancyCasey.com/collapse/
