Blogs

HI all.  As you can probably see I've been trying to upload files all day--literally like 3 or 4 hours--and I'm having problems with the blog function.  Some are beyond my control and some are a result of the size of the files, which have a lot of graphics in them.  Please write me/respond to this message and I will send you the articles for this week.  I'll have copies in class too, but it'll be great if you can read them ahead of time.

If you can't come this week, you are still welcomed to come and jump in the following week, so don't let that keep you away!  We're going to talk about the articles and watch about an hour of a film called Can Dialectics Break Bricks.  It should be really fun!

I'm sending this to last semester's class too.  If you didn't make all the sessions and want to join in again, please do! 

See you Thursday.

Laura

Hey there new friends,

I'm so glad y'all signed up for this class and i'm looking forward to sharing space with you! If you need directions or have any questions before the first meeting, feel free to call me @ 847.312.7186

For the first meeting, let's just wear comfy clothes in case of spontaneous movement and bring a journal or something with you to write in and we will have some fun.

See you soon!

Peace in Process,

Hey all!  Just a reminder that the culture jamming class starts next Thursday.  The University is on Spring Break but we'll still be meeting.  I will send out some articles by Monday--possibly sooner if I can.

I taught this class last semester and it was really fun and based on that,  I've made some changes that will make it even better!  I'm very excited and I hope you are, too.

If you'll be out of town for break, let me know, but we are planning on going ahead with the class.

See you there!

The new Yes Men movie is out in theatres this week and will be playing a very limited engagement (it may actually leave this Thursday).  I got to hear a little bit from one of the members of the Yes Men talk about the movie and how their actions in this movie differ from their last one.  Since we'll be talking about them in culture jamming, and also because this marks a departure for the Yes Men and for culture jamming in general, it would be awesome if you can go.
