Following our last meeting on grassroots activism in China, we find the term “activist” returning back to some concerns (the object or the relation?) related to the discussion of 2 meetings ago, on “speculative reason,” by way of a detour.*
We will be reading from “Semblance and Event,” a recent book by Brian Massumi, philosopher and translator of “1000 Plateaux” by GIlles Deleuze and Félix Guattari. We will take a look at the introductory text to the book.
Also addressed will be “千高原” (Chinese version of “1000 Plateaux,”) as the English text is a bit long for our Chinese-speaking Friends. The introduction was suggested as a good resource for our inevitable wanderings off the straight and narrow.
The next meeting is planned for Sunday June 24th, 6pm at HomeShop.
If you are interested in receiving the text, please inquire.
*(The detour has to do with 开封 河南 Kaifeng, Henan, and a bilious conflict between OOO-ists [object-oriented ontology] and the POO-ists [process-oriented ontology]… will explain to those interested at the meeting.)

the acronym is a bit off… it’s the OOPs-ists vs. the POOists: Object Oriented Philosophy

oops!!
the question of “flat ethics” for a “flat ontology” is one that has been making the rounds the last few days……i wonder what y’all might think of that, happily?
