FUP Reading Packet 2017 FUP Reading Packet 2017 Page | 2 FUP Reading Packet This packet is meant to present a variety of perspectives on race, gender, sexual orientation, class, identity, ability status, religion, social justice, oppression, privilege, power structures and what it means to participate in service, activism, and social change. There is no one way to “be FUP,” but all the pieces in this packet have been chosen to provoke critical thought, discussion and reflection. Don’t feel any pressure to agree with all (or any) of the authors - but do take the time to think about the issues they raise. Please do all the reading carefully, as we’ll be meeting in small, organized discussion groups throughout FUP week. While we tried to include a diverse range of topics relating to service, activism, and social change, there is definitely no way for a compilation of readings like this to cover everything—if there is a topic that you feel is missing, that’s definitely something you can bring up in your small discussion group at FUP! This packet is meant to serve as a way to start the conversations that we will have throughout FUP week, but there will also be plenty of space to talk about your personal experiences with the kinds of topics raised here if you feel comfortable. While reading this packet, it can be helpful to think about what the community you’re from is like and how that has influenced how you see the issues that are brought up in this packet. Please print a copy of the reading packet before arriving, so that during discussion of an article everyone can refer back to the text and refresh their memory on the details of what it said. (The length of this packet can make it especially hard to discuss without being able to do that!) If having access to a printer before arriving is an issue for you for whatever reason, email [email protected] and we can sort it out before FUP! Good luck, happy reading, and we cannot wait to FUP with you!! Page | 3 Intro to Harvard Welcome Fuppie!

That responsibility includes ensuring ocean wildlife can safely swim Pacific Ocean waters without being killed in commercial fishing gear. We, the undersigned 24,494 residents of the United States (including 6,106 residents of California, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington), urge you to prevent the authorization of pelagic longline fishing gear off the U.S. Pacific Coast. Use of this gear would lead to the entanglement and death of sea turtles, dolphins, whales, sea birds, sharks and many other important ocean species. Pelagic longlines used to catch swordfish, which can reach 60 miles in length and trail thousands of baited hooks, will inevitably ensnare and drown many other unsuspecting marine animals. Such a U.S. West Coast-based pelagic longline fishery, whether deep-set or shallow-set, has no place among the diversity of ocean life of the Northeast Pacific, particularly species already endangered with extinction. Pacific leatherback sea turtles, for example, migrate 6,000 miles from their nesting beaches to feed in the productive waters off the U.S.

The Yusupov black pearl necklace qualifies on all counts. It’s so famous it’s infamous (if you speak Three Amigos), but hardly anyone knows a thing about it. The mystery begins right away - how many pearls are in the damn thing? It’s 30 or 42, depending on which source you believe. If you believe specificity indicates accuracy, then Cartier by Hans Nadelhoffer is your go-to source. According to Nadelhoffer, the Yusupov black pearl necklace contains 30 black pearls weighing 937.84 grains (334). Sounds legit, right? I mean, who makes up the weight of pearls to two decimal points?

But immediately after giving us these convincing statistics, Nadelhoffer launches into the necklace’s provenance by saying Catherine the Great had three illegitimate kids with her lover, Grigori Potemkin, known as the “Demoiselles d’Engelgardt” (334).

As is customary in situations like these, I’m gonna read a quote from Gertrude Stein’s “Tender Buttons.” It’s called “A Piece of Coffee.” (spoken with video) CENTER for EXPERIMENTAL LECTURES http://experimentallectures.org I. Disco CENTER for EXPERIMENTAL LECTURES http://experimentallectures.org So, the title of this lecture, is: “Two and Monuments Two.” It’s divided into three parts. The first part is called “Disco” which is named after the cat that I adopted in January of 2012 and soon after got tattooed on my leg. You know, I named him Disco, and was told by a friend of mine that he was a Turkish van cat, and these cats often come from the city in Van, Turkey, where they’re often characterized by their thick white coats and two different colored eyes. CENTER for EXPERIMENTAL LECTURES http://experimentallectures.org In Van there is this monument devoted to the cat, where there’s two cats, they have the two different colored eyes, and they like swimming, apparently. CENTER for EXPERIMENTAL LECTURES http://experimentallectures.org Van, Turkey: I’ve never been there, but my friend Laura Frantz who was in residence here several weeks ago, she had been there and she gave me this postcard that was from the town of Van which now resides next to Disco’s drinking bowl.
