Bluestockings Revolutionary Potluck Discussion Series

Topic: Escape, Exodus, and Secession

Increasingly, political theory is attempting to understand the desirability of exodus as a resistance strategy. In U.S. post-election milieu, secession from America is only being discussed half-heartedly, yet for much of the world the question of exodus and escape is a topic of serious discussion. But with no 'frontier' and no 'outside' in which to flee, what does escape mean? And how might exodus as a mode of resistance be practiced in world that is 'borderless'? Why is withdrawal not simply an act of resignation, and how might it become an act of creation?

Please join us in the second of a series of a monthly revolutionary potluck discussions.

'Potluck' refers not to food but to a smorgasbord of ideas. We invite all who wish to present responses to the above questions to come with a prepared 3-5 minute presentation, and hope that all will participate in the open discussion that will follow.

This is an opportunity for those of us who are not perfessional theorists to theorize in an open and supportive environment.

If you are presenting, please be on time.
