SUMMARY:📘 Reading & discussion with Mary F.E. Ebeling\, author of 'Afterlives of Data: Life and Debt Under Capitalist Surveillance'
DESCRIPTION:Join us Saturday\, December 3rd  at 2:00 p.m. for a reading & discussion with Mary F.E. Ebeling\, author of Afterlives of Data: Life and Debt Under Capitalist Surveillance (University of California Press\, 2022). \n➡️ Video Stream Link\nWhat our health data tell American capitalism about our value—and how that controls our lives.\nAfterlives of Data follows the curious and multiple lives that our data live once they escape our control. Mary F. E. Ebeling’s ethnographic investigation shows how information about our health and the debt that we carry becomes biopolitical assets owned by healthcare providers\, insurers\, commercial data brokers\, credit reporting companies\, and platforms. By delving into the oceans of data built from everyday medical and debt traumas\, Ebeling reveals how data about our lives come to affect our bodies and our life chances and to wholly define us. \nInvestigations into secretive data collection and breaches of privacy by the likes of Cambridge Analytica have piqued concerns among many Americans about exactly what is being done with their data. From credit bureaus and consumer data brokers like Equifax and Experian to the secretive military contractor Palantir\, this massive industry has little regulatory oversight for health data and works to actively obscure how it profits from our data. In this book\, Ebeling traces the health data—medical information extracted from patients’ bodies—that are digitized and repackaged into new data commodities that have afterlives in database lakes and oceans\, algorithms\, and statistical models used to score patients on their creditworthiness and riskiness. Critical and disturbing\, Afterlives of Data examines how Americans’ data about their health and their debt are used in the service of marketing and capitalist surveillance. \nRegistration (optional but helpful):\n \n  \n

SUMMARY:◼️ Philly ABC Monthly Letter Writing Event
DESCRIPTION:On Monday\, November 28th the Philadelphia Anarchist Black Cross is hosting their monthly letter writing event at Iffy Books. Come out and write letters to anarchist prisoners! \nWhat is Anarchist Black Cross (ABC)? \nABC chapters around the world autonomously support people who are imprisoned for their thoughts and actions for justice and freedom from oppression\, also known as political prisoners or prisoners of war. It is an extension of the work begun by the Political Red Cross in the late 19th century supporting political prisoners in Tsarist prisons or labor camps. PRC not only provided aid\, but many times assisted in the planned escapes from prisons or places of exile. In 1907\, the Anarchist Red Cross formed and branched out internationally to support both anarchist and socialist revolutionaries in prison and exile\, since revolutionaries with these movements had begun to be excluded from the PRC’s support. With the rise of a new dictatorship in Russia\, the ARC reorganized in 1919 as the Anarchist Black Cross. During the Spanish Civil War and WWII\, ABCs comprised mostly of Russian Jews aided anarchist comrades fleeing from fascist persecution as well as those arrested in the resistance movements throughout Europe.* \nIn 1979\, Lorenzo Kom’boa Ervin\, an anarchist political prisoner in the US at the time\, issued a “Draft Proposal for an ABC Network” in hopes that it would initiate a united mass movement rather than individual collectives. This proposal influenced the growth of ABC for over a decade\, and in 1995 several groups banded together to form the ABC Federation of which Philly ABC is still a member. In addition to roughly a dozen chapters across so-called North America\, there are chapters in South America\, Europe and Asia. As anarchists\, we support a diversity of tactics and aim to support current political prisoners as they see fit. Most chapters on Turtle Island prioritize support for Black and Indigenous liberation struggles in addition to people from anarchist and other anti-authoritarian movements.

SUMMARY:🐌 The Degrowth of Social Media: a short film by KC Legacion
DESCRIPTION:THE DEGROWTH OF SOCIAL MEDIA\na short film by KC Legacion \nBased on their master’s research\, KC Legacion has produced a short film that reimagines social media in ways that support socioecological transformations. The film offers a conceptual model of social media informed by degrowth: a framework that (1) critiques societies driven by the need for infinite economic growth and (2) cultivates alternative ways of life centered around values like care\, autonomy\, and sufficiency. Motivated by the calls to make research more accessible through the synthesis of art and scholarship and drawing upon their years of experience as an actor and videographer\, KC’s project contains two storylines: one live action and one animated. In the first narrative\, KC introduces their model of a convivial social media ecosystem in a Twitch livestream during the present day; in the second\, a pensive narrator recounts a hypothetical story of rebuilding in the Greater Houston Area using convivial social media after several disasters unfold in the year 2027. KC worked with local artist Alex Sickel on the animation. \n30-minute screening followed by a Q&A. Masks are encouraged. \nKC Legacion is a contributor at Degrowth.info. \nSupport for “The Degrowth of Social Media” has been provided by The Sachs Program for Arts Innovation\, the Department of Earth and Environmental Science at the University of Pennsylvania\, and the Center for Experimental Ethnography. \n
