To this end, we will consider two short essay interventions into the aftermath of the 2014 police killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri – a critical event, the ramifications of which have been felt over the past decade. </span></p></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; margin: 0px;"><p style="color: black; direction: ltr; margin: 0px 0px 10.67px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">
<span face="Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 20.925px;">Both Robinson and Moten want to think through the relationship between the symbolism of the killing and the singularity of Michael Brown. Brown’s murder occurred at the end of Robinson’s career. Nevertheless, it provided a final opportunity for him, alongside his then-wife and collaborator Elizabeth Robinson, to set out their political commitments in <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pR__DrSi67sIytUftYB6O1eQUDvqd3Wb/view?usp=drive_link">‘The Killing in Ferguson’</a>. The essay relates the killing to a media and global political environment that is inherently hostile to Black lives. Fred Moten, whose first book begins with an acknowledgment of Robinson, works with Stefano Harney in the essay ‘<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NuYrr2u8lQ7SPNNCi0_MqNAphV_zbAQs/view?usp=drive_link">Michael Brown</a>’ to think about the ramifications of the killing in terms of the dynamics of statehood, survival, and the task of critical reflection in its wake. </span></p></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; margin: 0px;"><p style="color: black; direction: ltr; margin: 0px 0px 10.67px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">
<span face="Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 20.925px;">Both thinkers ask us to reconsider the epistemological ramifications of this relationship between theory and practice. With this in mind, the session will take the form of an open seminar that looks at close readings of both passages to open a broader discussion about the relation between theory and practice in our contemporary condition. All are welcome with no prior familiarity with the writers necessary, and we look forward to a productive conversation. </span></p><p style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: black; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold;"><b><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">(Ground Floor, House 10 Cavendish Road - https://maps.app.goo.gl/jVyNhfVTwsTHmBsb7 - https://what3words.com/courier.vase.valid) <o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: black; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.accessable.co.uk/university-of-leeds/access-guides/school-of-english" style="background: transparent; color: #f00c0c; text-decoration-line: none;">School of English | AccessAble</a><b><o:p></o:p></b></span></p><p style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: black; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold;"><b><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">on Wednesday 20th March between 4:00-6:00pm, followed by the option of a pub social. <o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p style="color: black; direction: ltr; margin: 0px 0px 10.67px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span face="Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 20.925px;"></span></p><p style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: black; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold;"><b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Please do let us know if you have any questions, concerns or access requirements at quiltingpoints@gmail.com. </span></span></b></p><p style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: black; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold;">[Image credit: Jeff Robertson/AP] </p></div>Quilting Pointshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04267504010374603391noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862873981547956644.post-11509309335648626912024-02-06T10:31:00.001+00:002024-02-06T10:31:30.676+00:00Robinson session 3: Robinson and the Decolonial<p style="font-weight: bold;"><b><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Thursday 29th February November | 5:30 – 7:00pm | The Alumni Room (School of English)</span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">We are happy to announce interdisciplinary reading group Quilting Points will return after a short break.

Room (School of English)</span></b></p>
<p style="background: white;"><b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">For this session, we will begin to explore Cedric Robinson’s
notion of the Black Radical Tradition, which Robinson argues is that which is
formed out of the rejection of racial capitalism as an “unacceptable” (p.28) value
for life. Robinson spoke about writing and teaching <i>Black Marxism: The
Making of the Black Radical Tradition </i>backwards, and it is in this spirit
that we suggest <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yFYoVTZTlGXoFcdmcKssary-HUjUBqGY/view?usp=drive_link" target="_blank">Chapter 7</a> as a great introduction to this concept, condensed to
a couple of pages. If you want to understand Robinson’s full reasoning and
historical analysis, you can also extend this by reading <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/10Aoh0AzlKTvboq28S36HZDcCMPjn3xJP/view?usp=drive_link" target="_blank">Chapter 6.</a> Please read however much you
have time for. In these chapters, Robinson focuses not on the major
intellectual figures <i>Black Marxism </i>is usually associated with, but
rather on a long tradition of anticolonial movements which produce from within
their struggle different modes of being and producing knowledge. <o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

As part of the inventory of Western civilization it would reverberate within and without, transferring its toll from the past to the present."</p><p>We want to use this chapter to think about the ways in which Robinson uses history as a vessel for theorising. </p><p>In 'The World We Want', the Robinsons reflect on the legacy of Black Marxism, its' interest to generations of academics and activists, and where it fits within Cedric's overall project. </p><p>The meeting will be held in the alumni room in the School of English </p><p>(Floor 1, House 10 Cavendish Road - https://maps.app.goo.gl/jVyNhfVTwsTHmBsb7 - https://what3words.com/courier.vase.valid) </p><p>on Tuesday 24th October between 5:30-7:00pm, followed by a pub social. </p><p>Please do let us know if you have any questions, concerns or access requirements at quiltingpoints@gmail.com.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEkYwsg-OW8-jlA0MgfFXlBCfcV71_lmrfFSY2SdzSPT2r4DRRdO4bi1wrRFXqGiRHdM0hyphenhyphenX6phLCtDSSEI_Nf9zPQmIg_bQD2SmnupiPtQUjmfdQMlLVll3EkzF9atDwnx6QCs3bpXqYsN1njhdlJMSrADgp-iYypftrKAfceVc7kDmsS6mnSht3r9H6a/s3009/252606426_bed4a2b75b_o.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Photograph of Robinson in floral shirt and straw hat speaking at rally with microphone in 2006.

Our reading group will provide an opportunity to look at this work in-depth but also a rare opportunity to situate it in the context of Robinson’s entire oeuvre.</p><p>Through a regular reading group, film screenings, artist talks, and other events, we will use Robinson's work as a way of re-examining the relationship between theory and practice. What are the uses of theory for social movements and how can social movements inform theory? </p><p>Run by postgraduate researchers in the Faculty of Arts, Humanities, and Cultures, the directors for this year will be Poonam Sharma, Jack Rondeau, and Owen Atkinson. </p><p>This year's meetings will take place in-person, with our first meeting of the year taking place on 26th October.

Almost entirely forgotten until it was discovered and restored by the British Film Institute in the 1990s, The <i>Big Pride</i> is described by writer and historian Stephen Bourne as 'a unique visual record of the work of two important dramatists'.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">While our discussion will be focused on the film, we are suggesting as optional reading Wynter's essay '<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NXqsHC1AZ-rIedj-Nf7jAKrTJG7oLRh5/view?usp=share_link" target="_blank">Rethinking "Aesthetics": Notes Towards a Deciphering Practice</a>'. In this essay, divided into two parts, Wynter proposes to move towards a new practice of film criticism based upon ‘decipherment’. She links such a deciphering praxis to the emerging of a “popular Imaginary” opposed to “our present hegemonic Imaginary” (239).</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">As always this session will be open to all with no expectation of any previous engagement with Wynter's work.

According to Sylvia Wynter, this play not only posits Caliban as ‘the irrational native subject’ but in doing so also relegates 'Caliban’s "woman"' to a space of non-being. As such, the play reenacts the founding structure of the onto-epistemic order of Western Man. Analysing the function of the “ontological absence” of the Black female subject position, it is in this essay that Wynter coins the term “demonic ground”, which has since been taken up by various scholars in different ways, most notably by Katherine McKittrick.</p><p>As always this session is open to all with no expectation of any previous engagement with Wynter's work.

Our discussion this month will centre on the final two sections of the text (pp. 303-331) but will also be an opportunity to discuss and reflect on the essay as a whole and its place in Wynter's wider body of work. </p><p><br /></p><p>In these last two sections, Wynter continues her dissection of the colonial epistemic order that has sustained our current conception of the human as 'Man'. Drawing on Aimé Césaire and Frantz Fanon, she also begins to theorise what she calls a ‘Science of the Word’ as a potential catalyst for a new epistemic leap in our understanding of what it means to be human. In our discussion we will be exploring what she means by this, and its implications. As a companion piece we will also be looking at Césaire’s short essay <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wtdgJ1t6AmoXOj0O9rSwRne0A0KPEuRb/view?usp=share_link" target="_blank">‘Poetry and Knowledge’</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p>The session is open to all with no expectation of any previous engagement with Wynter's work.

In this second part in particular, she details the invention of “the modern phenomenon of race as a new, [ostensibly] extrahumanly determined classificatory principle and mechanism of domination” (296). Through her distinctive ability to seamlessly bring together literature, biology, history and anthropology, she weaves together a fascinating and compelling analysis of the origins of our current conception of the human as ‘Man’ to make the case for new ways of thinking, acting and being human to one another. </p><p><br /></p><p>While the discussion will be focusing on 'Unsettling the Coloniality of Being', we are suggesting as potential further reading a short extract from David Scott's interview with Wynter '<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vLW0Y4b3G1llvVyCs-dovgZiO9BQy67r/view?usp=share_link" target="_blank">The Re-Enchantment of Humanism: An Interview with Sylvia Wynter</a>'.

Probing in more detail the issues raised in her 'Open Letter' and positing the human as an object of knowledge, in this long and representative essay, Wynter connects different historical moments to unveil the processes through which a culturally specific conception of the human as 'Man' has come to be regarded as a universal model for what it means to be human.</p><p><br /></p><p>We will be breaking up the text into three sections with this first session focusing on the introduction and part 1 (pp. 257-283).</p><p><br /></p><p>The meeting will be held in the School of English Alumni Room (floor 1, house 10, Cavendish Road) but please do get in touch at <a href="mailto:quiltingpoints@gmail.com">quiltingpoints@gmail.com</a> if you would like to attend the event virtually.

<p class="MsoNormal">We will begin our exploration of Sylvia Wynter’s oeuvre with
her ground-breaking text <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UoAj58JmsvTNmv08tKwlhAFrIQ-1Oe-F/view?usp=share_link">‘“No Humans Involved”: An Open Letter to my Colleagues’</a> (1992) in which Wynter responds to the brutal beating and arrest of
Rodney King at the hands of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD). During the
trial and subsequent acquittal of the police officers responsible, it emerged
that the acronym NHI (No Humans Involved) was routinely ascribed by LAPD officers
to young, unemployed black men. In this extraordinary intervention, Wynter
interrogates the dominant knowledge systems that exclude some people from being
counted as ‘human’, and the role of the university in perpetuating these
dangerous and exclusionary classificatory logics.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Although the meeting will focus on ‘“No Humans Involved”’,
we are suggesting as potential further reading a short introduction to Wynter’s
work by Katherine McKittrick <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BDacaDgdyntHwmyXrlxxQUe6fsN3DZgr/view?usp=share_link">'Yours in the Intellectual Struggle: Sylvia Wynter and the Realization of the Living'</a>.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The meeting will be held in the alumni room in the School of
English (Floor 1, House 10 Cavendish Road) on Tuesday 22<sup>nd</sup> November

introduction to <i>Small Acts</i> opens a varied collection of essays which reflect
on different forms and conditions of black art and culture and their political possibilities,
and analyse a particular moment of black British history. The introduction
takes culture as the site for the exploration of the debates and political tensions
which emerge around the representation and identities of black communities. Organising
itself around a critique of ‘ethnic absolutism’, it begins to lay the ground
work for a vital discussion of race and culture which challenges the use of homogenous
concepts of unity to secure racial identity. Additional reflections on gender, technological development,
and vernacular culture come together to produce a political exploration of black
cultural forms which recognises the contingencies of community. Placing the
introduction alongside ‘British Cultural Studies and the Pitfalls of Identity’ we
can begin to trace some of the key concerns with race relations, the politics of
representation and identity, the historical conditions of their emergence and
conceptualisation, as well as some of the resistance his approaches have
provoked.</span><br /></span><br />This meeting will be our first hybrid meeting will be held over Zoom and on campus simultaneously. <span style="text-align: justify;">A campus map can be found <a href="https://www.leeds.ac.uk/campusmap#" target="_blank">here </a>and directions to Parkinson SR B.08 and information about access <a href="https://students.leeds.ac.uk/rooms#building=Parkinson-Building&room=//students.leeds.ac.uk/rooms?type=room&id=100018" target="_blank">here</a>.</span> If you need any assistance accessing either meeting please get in touch </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br />To join us online for this meeting and to receive a reminder about the session </span><span style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">please email Ghada at en14gh@leeds.ac.uk to be added to the mailing list, through which you will receive the Zoom link. </span><br /><br /><br /></span></div><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><p></p>Quilting Pointshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04267504010374603391noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862873981547956644.post-86676343963779898122021-09-27T12:00:00.007+01:002021-09-27T14:08:33.727+01:00There Ain't no Black in the Union Jack<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQhuHxJyHt2A7aUNZBDUtUE5I6Nc4g2ws4x6djGY3oIGQmVACp3LCSjQ20NHIid3akWmT5w8PwmeQqZIleAP00Rp1LRacvRoKkVKskc0VUVIg5wPSfeTr2v8_q2cVmAcHSfdh87V0E9Res/s475/aintnoblack.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="475" data-original-width="294" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQhuHxJyHt2A7aUNZBDUtUE5I6Nc4g2ws4x6djGY3oIGQmVACp3LCSjQ20NHIid3akWmT5w8PwmeQqZIleAP00Rp1LRacvRoKkVKskc0VUVIg5wPSfeTr2v8_q2cVmAcHSfdh87V0E9Res/s320/aintnoblack.jpg" width="198" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Thursday 7th October | 5.30pm-7.00pm | Zoom</b></div><p></p><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">For our first meeting of the year, we are going to look at Gilroy's seminal 1987 book <i>There Ain't no Black in the Union Jack</i>. We will be reading <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-9gEhDjk2KWpyh0kCUHbUHnVCUwwSAl_/view?usp=sharing">Chapter two - '"The whisper wakes, the shudder plays": 'race', nation and ethnic absolutism'</a> - pages 43-72 in the first edition. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Gilroy's first book is centered on race and class, and caused uproar when it was first published for accusing politicians and intellectuals on both sides of the political divide of not taking race seriously. He argues that racism is deeply interwoven with nationalism in Britain, and Chapter two focuses on the capacity of racism to link discourses of patriotism, nationalism, xenophobia, Englishness, Britishness, militarism, and gender difference into a complex system that gives 'race' its contemporary meaning.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">This recent <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/news/2021/aug/05/paul-gilroy-britain-scholar-race-humanism-vital-guide-age-of-crisis">Guardian long-read article</a> and the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBntPdPcQes">interview</a> Gilroy gave after receiving the prestigious Holberg Prize in 2019 are particularly interesting. Although we won't be explicitly discussing these in the meeting, they help to outline Gilroy's expansive career so far and are very useful for getting re-familiarised with his work.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">This year's meetings will be delivered in a hybrid online and in-person format, with our first meeting of the year being delivered online via Zoom. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">To join us on the 7th of October for our first Quilting Points meeting of the 2021/22 session, please email Ghada at en14gh@leeds.ac.uk to be added to the mailing list, through which you will receive the Zoom link. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">We look forward to seeing you all there!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p>Quilting Pointshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04267504010374603391noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862873981547956644.post-2564319558624919692021-09-27T11:16:00.002+01:002021-09-27T11:20:32.262+01:00Reading Paul Gilroy<p>We are very pleased to announce the return of interdisciplinary critical and cultural theory reading group Quilting Points for its tenth consecutive year! </p><p>This year we will be reading and discussing the work of British historian, writer, and academic Paul Gilroy. </p><p>Run by postgraduate researchers in the Faculty of Arts, Humanities, and Cultures, your director this year are Ana García Soriano, Michael Hedges, Ghada Habib, and Evie Lewis. </p><p>This year's meetings will take place using a hybrid online and in-person format, with our first meeting of the year being delivered online via Zoom on the 7th of October. </p><p>We can't wait to see you all there! </p>Quilting Pointshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04267504010374603391noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862873981547956644.post-71214600498751288622021-05-11T18:28:00.001+01:002021-05-11T18:28:55.882+01:00#baldwin : Special Guest Seminar with Dr Justin A Joyce<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpuZKqr8LY2bfZVGQ9Liz-dkivCUMoZ68oFXYIeJ4On7bEd01soTj75zUhlPUJ3nw5QUoNbjNijgPm9F6tzlz3EViktCfzR69GC-0_DPSaodWkUtrJ97TBC4X9pRnZUAPXUMf31IeWlc99/s1582/Baldwin+finale.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1090" data-original-width="1582" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpuZKqr8LY2bfZVGQ9Liz-dkivCUMoZ68oFXYIeJ4On7bEd01soTj75zUhlPUJ3nw5QUoNbjNijgPm9F6tzlz3EViktCfzR69GC-0_DPSaodWkUtrJ97TBC4X9pRnZUAPXUMf31IeWlc99/w465-h320/Baldwin+finale.jpg" width="465" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 18px;"><b> Thursday 27th May </b></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 18px;"><b><span face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif">|</span> 5:30-7:00pm BST <span face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif">| Zoom</span></b></span></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">For our final Quilting Points meeting of the 2020/21 year we are delighted to be joined by special guest speaker Dr Justin A. Joyce! Dr Joyce is Research Director for President Dwight A. McBride at The New School (NYC) and is the managing editor of the <i>James Baldwin Review</i>. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">After a year of reading Baldwin's work itself, our final session will consider and discuss his enduring legacy and impact on social media, especially on Instagram and Twitter, in regards to Black Lives Matter. Rather than reading Baldwin, we will be reading a variety of critical voices discussing Baldwin's legacy including Colm Tóibín's 2001 essay <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QnlDlE9vVGbIKAS2nh7MDnrfmj90YCKY/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">'The Last Witness'</a>, Quentin Miller's coda to <i>The Cambridge Companion to James Baldwin</i> (2015) <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1z-LcVtPp7EZRSn3Y0auGUripDcwRMWp_/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">'The Heart of Baldwin'</a>, Eddie S.

(Despite the number of different works here there are not many pages in total so don't feel daunted by the reading!)</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">As well as discussing the academic work done on the subject of #baldwin, Dr Joyce has suggested that we take a look at a <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BKXn8LZg9MJ0hOq9QDvuT3Kl0lCiHMg0/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">compilation of Instagram posts</a> which were posted with the caption #jamesbaldwin. This will give us the chance to discuss Baldwin within the context of the last year. Dr Joyce hopes that attendees of this final session of this Quilting Points season on Baldwin might identify the post that resonates with them the most or that they feel encapsulates Baldwin the best. This is not meant as a formal exercise but as a casual way of considering how Baldwin's image and words are used in our own time.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Whether you've been to every session, just a few, or if this is your first time joining us to discuss Baldwin, you are all very welcome to our final meeting of this academic year! By discussing Baldwin's legacy on social media, it will be fruitful to discussion that there are varying levels of familiarity with Baldwin's work in the room. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">If you would like to join us on Thursday 27th May from 5:30-7pm (BST), please email <a href="mailto:en17jog@leeds.ac.uk">en17jog@leeds.ac.uk</a> for the Zoom invitation link. </span></p>Quilting Pointshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04267504010374603391noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862873981547956644.post-50472367659549902032021-04-28T10:02:00.001+01:002021-05-04T09:56:41.675+01:00An Open Letter to My Sister, Miss Angela Davis<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidUatHi74dTk27WrlsRwgZEbykZyKc_A0xnZA_8FwnIFh2zBnk48hHyeJ37mZtWbYTm3rXpuXEPvEVgyULpRMHVZJ2d9GqF5uPn38hadW92nagT0uTl__UAOclakzw3Zkem_8gnqNon2j4/s746/baldwin_davis-.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="490" data-original-width="746" height="263" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidUatHi74dTk27WrlsRwgZEbykZyKc_A0xnZA_8FwnIFh2zBnk48hHyeJ37mZtWbYTm3rXpuXEPvEVgyULpRMHVZJ2d9GqF5uPn38hadW92nagT0uTl__UAOclakzw3Zkem_8gnqNon2j4/w400-h263/baldwin_davis-.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="font-family: arial;"><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="font-family: arial;">Thursday 6th May </b><b style="background-color: white; font-family: arial;"><span face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif">|</span> 5:30-7:00pm BST <span face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif">| Zoom </span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Our penultimate meeting will look at James Baldwin's <a href="https://www.nybooks.com/articles/1971/01/07/an-open-letter-to-my-sister-miss-angela-davis/" target="_blank">1971 open letter</a>, published in <i>The New York Review, </i>to Angela Davis. The letter was written by Baldwin to an imprisoned Davis in 1970, where she was being wrongfully held in relation to a courtroom shooting in California where three men and a judge died. She was acquitted in a federal trial in 1972. The letter is written in solidarity with Davis and addresses being black in America, American whiteness, intergenerationality and the American prison system. If you would like to hear Baldwin read the letter, it is available <a href="https://youtu.be/Nch2qYof_Cw?t=921" target="_blank">here </a>(from 15:21 on).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Alongside the letter, we have chosen to discuss a short section of <i><a href="https://www.feministes-radicales.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Angela-Davis-Are_Prisons_Obsolete.pdf" target="_blank">Are Prisons Obsolete? </a></i>(2003) by Angela Davis.<i> </i>In the second chapter, titled 'Slavery, Civil Rights, and Abolitionist Perspectives Toward Prison' (pp. 22-39), Davis contextualises her discussion of prisons within the history of antiblack racism and injustice in the US, from chattel slavery to segregation. In doing so, she is able to pose the question of prison abolition by relating it to the organised social movements that worked to abolish past systems of racialised oppression. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-family: arial;">If you would like to attend this</span></b><b style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> meeting on 6th May, please email <a href="mailto:en17jog@leeds.ac.uk" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #f00c0c; text-decoration-line: none;">en17jog@leeds.ac.uk</a> for the Zoom link.<u1:p> </u1:p></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /></div><br /><p></p>Quilting Pointshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04267504010374603391noreply@blogger.com0
