  • Racism – On the Media

    On the Media’s Face the Racist Nation episode, kind of a re-broadcast, is gem; especially Dr. Kendi’s interview. He makes the distinctive argument for the lineage of racist’s ideas, policy, poverty, ignorance, exploitive systems and attitude, as it has been implemented in the West. His 2016 book is Stamped from the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America.

  • Decree 349

    Issued by the [Cuban] government in July, Decree 349 aims to give the authorities total control over artistic production. Those affected include musicians, artists, writers, and performers, as well as the venues that allow creatives to host events that weren’t first approved by the Ministry of Culture. Those found in violation of the decree, which will be enforced starting December 1, will face fines, property seizure, and jail.

  • Atlas of Emotion by Giuliana Bruno

    A Verso reprint, 2018.

    Bruno in conversation with Marquard Smith, Visual Culture Studies, 2008; pp. 144-165.

    [A] form of mapping becomes, in a way, the model for the kind of psychogeography that rethinks spaces in relation to fluid assemblages, and to psychic montage. In this cartography, for instance, you can connect places in a city or on a cultural map not by way of real distances but by way of events that have been experienced in the imagination and in the reality of the people who have lived through them in the space.
