Meeting Tues 3rd September 2019

How to organise resources - this pad is ok for now?
How many days shall we work on this - hmmm not too may... one or two?
Talk - for what i heard from Femke, this will fit very nicely, providing questions and sensibilities with which to inhabit the rest of the workshop?
Workshop - maybe more difficult?
(resources prepared in advance - to make more multiple!)

Materials:
Wiki 
Pamphlet
Book
Reader
Other damages
Dream  - recorded, performed life? <- Dreaming of maths... crooked analytics.. 
on Repair: Tomás Sánchez Criado: https://tecnocuidadanos.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/repair_conclusion.pdf

Knowing it in an invented way - not precise
Wasn't cannonic.. 
but anchors - proflific as an anchor for feeling safe to deal with very complex things.. complex in the flesh .. 

"What does it mean to submerge oneself in a larger context of histories and geographies
beyond our own experience and understanding in order to reanimate worlds that we can
barely remember or create new ones that we can only imagine?" 

invent/reanimate/remember

conditions<- what is there, and what is done. / nice natureculture knot
how they can be generative of other ways of being together as well as describing ways to be together 

British quakers: collective conditions
typical one: a list of dos and dont's -- but instead, an equation
political difference between equation and formula.. trying to find and equilibrium .. 
one was a formulation on how a world is
the other was transferring forces from one side to the other.. [...=...]

"What if what matters in (the) artwork exceeds representation not because of its “why” or “when” or “where” but because of its “how” and its “what”? "

One set of materials - collection of analytic inventions  - and exercises. 

The Whys/wheres. in the pocket.. making something for a pocket.. 

reversing the voice
somedays later reactivate those questions... 

Book title/tshirt "Non-stop activation of Dreams" - Manual for Queer life <3

Talk   -provides some resources that participatns can carry with them for the rest of the session, so not has to be a 
Possibly a talk and then a meeting around the questions  - not be homework.. 
A writing exercise on some sort  of remedy .. inventing moment.. after some days of worksession.. 

- upgrading of the workshop ;- )
- consindering the questions of affirmative.. but thinking about the creative force 
- how connected to have it to be and want it to be.. 
- The issue of analytics in the contiunations.. 
- writing exercise to connect to that... or try something else or other kinds of writing
- indeterminacy.. analytics provides to gather the complexity.. 
- dreaming of solving maths problems

- "the virtues"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Virtues_(miniseries)
- film -> The Souvenir  - Curzon..

EDIT  : Collective Conditions
 Queer sensibiilties to  - >Being aware of it being a invention -- and that being queer.. 
 How to make conditions for more possible lives to be lived.. 
Setting a Po(e)thics - setting the conditions - a protcol position.. 
remedy-healing / poethics

What is a remedy [loved your dream!]
Healing and partial reparations.. how to take care of working with damages


What is a damage
What needs undoing, feeling backwards?
What is damages in the case of collective conditions and rules of engagements?
What is a damage? How to even consider the inaudible voice  - work in the indeterminate
How to work across modes mutal care in which the damages may not even be reocgnizable to each other.. but nonetheless lived experiences
How to write about possible harms and damages (the damaging possibilitiy of this in itself) / The creation of further damages and injury through trying to address damages / "how to work worst"

How does it interect with ethics.. that maybe starts somewhere other than life and non life 
Tensions over rules of engagements

Poetry 
Writing Damages workshop



//Maybe something on the webbs of damage -- which stretch far beyond the local collective -> scale of damge (space-time beyond the here-now)
Universalising Commons / colonial commons


>Circulatin Texts to revisit
What is an Angel - Heather Love
Eve Tuck open letter on Damages
Abdou Malik Simone on damages
Jara & Laura on Latencies

Future works

---
talk's aim:
    send som provocations and share some situations to work through and activate some of these dreams
    thinking about what these cases might be
    denise's film in mind: deep implimancies. snakes on the sand. whole web of implicated damage.
talk at Aarhus: not about saying what to do to make more positive, but more Qs on what is race, tech, gender...

if we gathered voices and visual material, maybe? -- "dreamy talk" mixture of undoing and remedy

+ give something for people to keep with them

& a second hour

--
options to send to FS and PW:

A) Helen is a transversal agent that appears three or four times along the worksession, to activate questions on queering damage and witing analyts. [maybe a bit difficult to grasp?]


B) Helen is a transversal agent:

First day, a talk/dream/story of deep implimancies of damage and undoing the questions we ask of it. 

 Two days after, a presentation of a collection of formulas and an activation of questions as  a new formula. Operation 1: https://queeringdamage.hangar.org/index.php/OPERATION_1. 

//FIELDS

ᘒ On the experience and process of damage and pain, partial reparation, loss/disposession
፨ On queer politics and methodologies, contestation, affirmation
ᚼ On contesting anthronormativities
⚘ On bioeconomies, lively capital, accumulation
◊ On computation, analytics, bioinfotech
ᗶ On political fictions, poethics, figurations &/or wild fantasies, opportunities

 ᘒ  ፨ ᚼ  ◊  ᗶ +   ^ + Æ (DAMAGE)



Sharing the updated QD pamphlet that can be also activated later in the worksession. 
[by now, this option is the one that convinces us more. The most careful in giving people confidence in writing/thinking those]


C) Just a talk and people keep questions/pamphlet with them to use in an indefined way during the rest of the worksession. [ok because of its openendedness...?]


Question to FS and PW: shall we ask people to bring a damage in advance, or after the presentation? [this depends on how you are setting the time and how much info is given in advance]

Meeting 10 October - 

http://constantvzw.org/site/Open-Scores-Collective-Conditions-Cocktail-Bar.html " guidelines, a set of rules, modes and expectations that suggest and question ways of being together"

https://pad.constantvzw.org/p/guidelines.questions
http://constantvzw.org/w/?u=http://media.constantvzw.org/wefts/123/

1 hour talk -- 
> Start with TurboCapitalism poem:
    

Not making it sit neatly with collective conditions but instead opening up what might be involved in a damaging situation
-- could we do poetics of the questions? Or somehow do 5 mini scenes of damage, maybe one a performance of us? from here? https://queeringdamage.hangar.org/index.php/OPERATION_1 + https://queeringdamage.hangar.org/index.php/OPERATION_2
-- thinking about how these questions are not just mapping damages but also a queer analytic - what makes them queer? e
Each scene can work for u - temporatliy, differnt elements.. that could be interesting for these analytics
Try to write the analytics with the symbolic language... 
 ᘒ  ፨ ᚼ  ◊  ᗶ +   ^ + Æ (DAMAGE)

instructions: 
1) define your field of interest - cut apart and togehter an area of urgency 
2) declare your AE: Entangled Agents (Æ = pH+pNH+pIH+pF) 
3) divide by the axioms of αe (ethics) and αK (Kapital) 
4) define the spacetime conditioning: ʃT (ephemeral, eternal, cyclic, linear, continuous, eventual, historical present, memory, extincted, dreamed, extended, distributed, dissoluted, dispersed, concentrated, catalized, centrifugal, centripetal, located, situated, regional, local, global, reachable, micro, meso, macro...) 

5) analyze and notate the Æ through a consideration of its Variable Relations (Ω repair, Δ damage, a affects, E effects, (c) creative force, ≠difference) 

6) apply at least one Generative Operation for your analysis 
7) declare your QÆ = qH+qNH+qIH+qF+qd) 
8) divide by the axioms of αe (ethics) and αK (Kapital) 
9) = Name your refigured QAE... or not...
