User:High Falls Convergence

Welcome!
Hi All! Lenio suggested a Wiki where those of us at HF could continue our conversations in a laid back way. It would eliminate the email list we have been using until now.

High Falls, June 17-19 2007
This is the page John Hutnyk has for fotos:

Other photographers should feel free to add fotos(I guess contact John) or to submit a link to your shots.

Christina, maybe you can link us to sound files if you plan on making those available.

Other media?

Thoughts from HF Conversations
•Ethnography and Curiosity

•Al: The body at its limits or, the limitless body. Here thinking about Al's talk and the question of beauty, the sublime, sensation beyond the realm of signification. Bataille's laughter an tears, the erections at Lascaux. Value and Loss: are these two oppositions?

•Mick: Song and obscenity, song and nature, nature and its domination. Many echoes of Horkheimer and Adorno here.

•Daniella: The particular in Arguedas' writing, "the minor," the question of representation and the survival, or not, of content in its encounter with form. The road. John has been thinking about roads and writing since then. http://www.hutnyk.blogspot.com/.

•Dora: The question of the elegy, mourning, overcoming Freetown. Searching and researching. Surely we can think of research as a search, yes? Casting out. In connection with Todd: the dead, the divine, and demons.

•Dora II: Poetry. Poetry and ethnography...

Debates
The question of organizing. To win? To struggle? To build temporary autonomous zones? To summarily execute the bourgeoisie? Once we win, then what? Does it all end, history, struggle? Or must power be exercised to keep the victory in place? Then what?

Convergence 2008 or 2009?
Lenio, on our drive back to NYC, said she thought 2yrs was too long to wait for another gathering. What are thoughts on this?
