• READ: everyone read Reed, Chs1&2, on Civil Rights and the Black Panthers through the frame of "arts of protest." Then pick other parts of the book as you are interested, equaling approx. 1/3 of the whole thing. Everyone read Paoletti, Intro&Ch4, on the shape of the whole book, and the muliplicities made visible when "a boy is not a girl." For this book too, also chose other parts to read to equal approx. 1/3 of book altogether with these.

• SIGNUPS: directors and presenter teams
Gregory Bateson (who is he and why might we care?) famously said, in “the pronoun we, I of course included the starfish and the redwood forest, the segmenting egg, and the Senate of the United States.” (1979:98, 174) “Us” gathers sympoietically too all these boundary objects storing details and affects as we work to minimize suffering and maximize flourishing. How do we understand our times (endtimes?) and movements (intentional and historical).
Double binds and double consciousness are both terms that tangle, have multiple and different origins but also inter-connections and meanings. There is a reason ideas are not property: they and their words are alive, show up and re-originate unevenly, circulate within and between knowledge worlds, and track current attempts to manage knowledge through property relations (one of the possible meanings of "neoliberal" perhaps). Bateson used both of these terms for specific reasons, and so did, differently, with alternative histories, Kimberlé Crenshaw and W.E.B. duBois. Let's pay attention to their transcontextual tangles and knots of meaning and possibility!
You have quite a lot to get to by next Thursday: 1/3 of each of two books and a set of video and audio clips. I would also like you to check out the links on the class website post for this week as well.
Reminders of what to read and links and embedded audio and video are on the website now. Please take a moment to look at them as soon as possible and prepare your time to complete all of them by Thursday.
Help each other out in sharing books perhaps: they are also on reserve at McKeldin and also available in about 10 mins as ebooks, readable with an electronic app if you do not have a dedicated e-reader.
Notice tangles: words that look the same but point to different communities of practice, uses, knowledge worlds. Take note of these.
Reflect and remember: what memories do you have, your own or those of family, friends, teachers, from TV, or anywhere that tie you to these timespots and care-abouts!
Think perhaps about systems justice, what it could mean in these transcontextual entanglements, and about double binds. How do they help us understand our distributed being and sufferings, for example, those of triggers and microagressions?
Come to class with clues, guesses, bits of memory, feelings on the edge of consciousness, wonderings and affinities. historical knowledge we can share.

From the Evening Concerts At Newport, Vol. 1...Vanguard/Orizzonte ORL 8197 (1964)
http://www.wirz.de/music/newpofrm.htm
Recorded live at the Newport Folk Festival, on July 26, 1963; The Freedom Singers: Bernice Johnson, Rutha Harris, Cordell Hull Reagon and Charles Neblitt
No folk-song trend of the last few years aroused so much attention as the use of "freedom songs" in the Negro civil rights movement. This is probably the greatest peacetime functional use of folk music since the labor movement organizing drive in the 1930's. There "freedom songs" are old spirituals with renewed meaning for today, either in their original form or with new words. They are heard in jails, and at sit-ins, demonstrations, rallies and all tension points where morale needs a boost.
Four young activist in this struggle make up The Freedom Singers - Bernice Johnson, Rutha Harris, Cordell Hull Reagon and Charles Neblitt. The group formed in the winter of 1962 during the extended civil rights battles at Albany, Georgia, where music played a vital role in buoying up the spirits of the demonstrators. This is probably the only musical quartet all members of which have served time in jail. "Woke Up This Morning With My Mind Set On Freedom" is a popular modern gospel song with revised words and one of the most popular of the new "freedom songs." ~ Stacey Williams (from the liner notes)
