present perspectives on radical politics, history,
philosophy and culture, potentially including:

precarious labor and resistance;

gender roles at Burning Man;

moving beyond dialectical philosophy;

the history of radical marching bands;

secrecy, the State and contemporary activism;

and mass media’s role in recuperating resistance.

'This is Forever’: From Inquiry to Refusal is series
of discussions dedicated to an inquiry into class
composition: into the current political composition of
movements and struggles particularly in the United
States, and generally across the planet; the technical
composition of the imposition of work and under
capital, in both productive and reproductive spheres,
and its changing nature in capitals neoliberal phase;
the myriad of mechanisms which capture, overcode,
divide, and suppress our desires and creative
capacities; and the ways in which act of refusal and
resistance are in exodus from the relations of power
that define capital and the state-from, as well as the
gender binary, heteronormativity, race, legal status,
and other socially constructed divisions and power relations.
