Portland, Oregon ** October 2-4, 2009
This workshop was titled "Wisdom in Common" and was given on October 2, 2009
Members of the San Francisco Bay Area Retort Collective will address teh topic of the crisis from a perspective of a wider crisis of modernity or 'crisis of civilization.' Panelists believe we must develop an anti-capitalist program that links commoners of the north & south, that campaigns to shut down the imperial based-world, and blocks fresh rounds of enclosure & primary accumulation, new forms of spectacular politics & new kinds of vanguards. Andrej Grubacic, Iain Boal (following members scheduled but no show- Anne-Lise Francois, and Sandra Meucci) - Retort Collective
