Many saw its subsequent ebb as proof of the need to go back to what was once called ā€œthe question of organisationā€. For something so often described as essential\, however\, political organisation remains a surprisingly under-theorised field. In this book\, Rodrigo Nunes proposes to remedy that lack by starting again from scratch. Redefining the terms of the problem\, he rejects the confusion between organisation and any of the forms it can take\, such as the party\, and argues that organisation must be understood as always supposing a diverse ecology of different initiatives and organisational forms. Drawing from a wide array of sources and traditions that include cybernetics\, poststructuralism\, network theory and Marxism\, Nunes develops a grammar that eschews easy oppositions between ā€œverticalismā€ and ā€œhorizontalismā€\, centralisation and dispersion\, and offers a fresh approach to enduring issues like spontaneity\, leadership\, democracy\, strategy\, populism\, revolution\, and the relationship between movements and parties. \n\nThis group is open to anyone committed to collective learning and liberation whether they are a member of Philly Socialists or not. We aim to tackle challenging theoretical texts together. Rather than finding ā€˜the correct readingā€™ of a text\, the goal of group is to collectively find tools from texts for creating a better world. \nPhilly Socialists is a political organization committed to creating a just and sustainable future for ourselves and our planet. As socialists\, we believe in freedom\, democracy\, and the right to basic human dignity. Capitalism denies us all these. Only revolutionary change that ends capitalism will win us the future we deserve. And only a massive\, organized force can get us there.

Many saw its subsequent ebb as proof of the need to go back to what was once called ā€œthe question of organisationā€. For something so often described as essential\, however\, political organisation remains a surprisingly under-theorised field. In this book\, Rodrigo Nunes proposes to remedy that lack by starting again from scratch. Redefining the terms of the problem\, he rejects the confusion between organisation and any of the forms it can take\, such as the party\, and argues that organisation must be understood as always supposing a diverse ecology of different initiatives and organisational forms. Drawing from a wide array of sources and traditions that include cybernetics\, poststructuralism\, network theory and Marxism\, Nunes develops a grammar that eschews easy oppositions between ā€œverticalismā€ and ā€œhorizontalismā€\, centralisation and dispersion\, and offers a fresh approach to enduring issues like spontaneity\, leadership\, democracy\, strategy\, populism\, revolution\, and the relationship between movements and parties. \n\nThis group is open to anyone committed to collective learning and liberation whether they are a member of Philly Socialists or not. We aim to tackle challenging theoretical texts together. Rather than finding ā€˜the correct readingā€™ of a text\, the goal of group is to collectively find tools from texts for creating a better world. \nPhilly Socialists is a political organization committed to creating a just and sustainable future for ourselves and our planet. As socialists\, we believe in freedom\, democracy\, and the right to basic human dignity. Capitalism denies us all these. Only revolutionary change that ends capitalism will win us the future we deserve. And only a massive\, organized force can get us there.

Le Guin DESCRIPTION:The Speculative Futures reading group meets on Wednesday\, June 26th at 7 p.m. to discuss the book Always Coming Home by Ursula K. Le Guin. Hope to see you there! \nGet the audiobook on Libro.fm \nMidway through her career\, Le Guin embarked on one of her most detailed\, impressive literary projects\, a novel that took more than five years to complete. Blending story and fable\, poetry\, artwork\, and song\, Always Coming Home is this legendary writerā€™s fictional ethnography of the Kesh\, a people of the far future living in a post-apocalyptic Napa Valley. \nHaving survived ecological catastrophe brought on by relentless industrialization\, the Kesh are a peaceful people who reject governance and the constriction of genders\, limit population growth to prevent overcrowding and preserve resources\, and maintain a healthy community in which everyone works to contribute to its well-being. This richly imagined story unfolds through a series of narrated ā€œtranslationsā€ that illuminate individual lives\, including a woman named Stone Telling\, who travels beyond the Valley and comes to reside with another tribe\, the patriarchal Condor people. With sharp poignancy\, Le Guin explores the complexities of the Keshā€™s unified society and presents to usā€“in exquisite detailā€“their lives\, histories\, adventures\, customs\, language\, and art. \nIn addition to poems and folk tales\, Le Guin created verse dramas\, records of oral performances\, recipes\, and even an alphabet and glossary of the Kesh language. The novel is illustrated throughout with drawings by artist Margaret Chodos and includes a musical componentā€“original recordings of Kesh songs that Le Guin collaborated on with composer Todd Bartonā€“bringing this utterly original and compelling world to life. \nUrsula Kroeber Le Guin (1929-2018) was a celebrated author whose body of work includes 23 novels\, 12 volumes of short stories\, 11 volumes of poetry\, 13 childrenā€™s books\, five essay collections\, and four works of translation. The breadth and imagination of her work earned her six Nebula Awards\, seven Hugo Awards\, and SFWAā€™s Grand Master\, along with the PEN/Malamud and many other awards. In 2014 she was awarded the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters\, and in 2016 joined the short list of authors to be published in their lifetimes by the Library of America. \nĀ  URL:https://iffybooks.net/event/speculative-futures-june-26/ LOCATION:Iffy Books\, 404 S. 20th St.\, Philadelphia\, 19146\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://iffybooks.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Always_Coming_Home.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Iffy Books":MAILTO:iffybooks@iffybooks.net END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240626T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240626T170000 DTSTAMP:20260404T051148 CREATED:20240624T033032Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240624T033435Z UID:10001021-1719406800-1719421200@iffybooks.net SUMMARY:šŸŽµ Open Cassette Mixtape Session DESCRIPTION:Bring a playlist on your phone/computer and weā€™ll help you record it to an audio cassette tape.

Permacomputing is both a concept and a community of practice oriented around issues of resilience and regenerativity in digital technology.Ā In a time where computing epitomizes industrial waste\, permacomputing encourages a more sustainable approach\, maximizing hardware lifespans\, minimizing energy use and focussing on the use of already available computational resources. We do this because humans are part of nature and technology is an extension of humans\, and we acknowledge that technology has been used to harm nature. We want to find out how we can practice good relations with the Earth by learning from ecological systems to leverage and re-center existing technologies and practices. We are also interested in investigating what a permacomputing way of life could be\, and what sort of transformative computational culture and aesthetics it could bring forward.Ā If you want to know more\, please start reading about what isĀ permacomputingĀ in essence\, and then dive into itsĀ principles. \nPermacomputing Aesthetics: Potential and Limits of Design Constraints in Computational Culture by Mansoux\, Howell\, Barok\, and HeikkilƤ (2023) URL:https://iffybooks.net/event/permacomputing-meetup/2024-06-23/ LOCATION:Iffy Books\, 404 S. 20th St.\, Philadelphia\, 19146\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/gif:https://iffybooks.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Permacomputing_sm.gif ORGANIZER;CN="Iffy Books":MAILTO:iffybooks@iffybooks.net END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240622T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240622T170000 DTSTAMP:20260404T051148 CREATED:20240522T215106Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240522T215858Z UID:10000952-1719061200-1719075600@iffybooks.net SUMMARY:šŸš‚ Model Internet Club DESCRIPTION:The Model Internet Club meets again on Saturday\, June 22nd\, 1:00ā€“5:00 p.m. Newcomers are welcome. \nThe network is up and running!
