Machine x - by Sebastian Peschiera of SublimeMachine,com , The idea is that we can use technology to help create a sense of community and to spark conversations with strangers in the public space. How many times have you been to a park where people don't seem to talk to each other? Can technology help us break the ice? Text the City is a project where anyone can send a txt message to a public screen. You are asked for a username and for the text message. The message is screened for curse words (for the children's sake), The text is then displayed amongst hundred of other text messages placed there the same day.

Comprised of nine girls, ranging in age from 19 to 22, Girls' Generation is the most popular girl group in Korean history. Their hit single Run Devil Run has received more than 30 million views on YouTube. The group was formed in 2007 and has just begun to extend into the American market-essentially poised to become the NEXT BIG THING. Unfortunately, there is a darker side to the candy-coated exterior of K-Pop music. These girls are recruited and conditioned at a very young age, signing into contracts that border on slavery and often becoming sexual objects for record producers and label executives. There have been numerous cases of suicide in similar girl groups in recent years. Many of their record labels are subsidiaries of American owned corporations like Universal Music. The Girls' music and performances garner billions of dollars for the Korean­ American industry, while the Girls' themselves only see a fraction of that income. This proj ect will be a combination of interventionist, site specific drag performance, flash dance, and subsequent video piece. The artist wi ll cast and choreograph nine male dancers to spontaneously lip synch and dance to Girls' Generation's The Boys in several locations around San Francisco. Proposed spaces include: Embarcadero BART Station, Westfield Shopping Center, and Pier 39- key centers of commerce, tourism, and trade. The resulting work will take on issues of American fetishization by outside cultures, American encroachment on foreign enterprises, the fragility of young women in a predatory market, and the role of drag in calling attention to hetero-normative cultural dialogue through spectacle and humor. cilizen ist·I"1!l!t· ml!ssuQl!j ,,7Hu17 Htlip YlJllr Brafhtlr Cilizen ist'I"1!l!t' iirtj cilizEn [past·ISI"j 7;'1E FacEs Df cilizEn [st·iCI(GI·S j gliilaticundarSCDI"[email protected] Th is is my latest piece cal led "Citizen ".

I am a first year graduate student in the ART Department at the University of Delaware and am living here in Newark. I am looking to usc my talents to create work that is socially engaged and beneficial to my fellow community members. I'm really interested in how people come to engage with the community, find where help is needed, incite people to help, etc. What are the ways in which people contribute to community and activate public discourse and shared space? I'm also interested in the idea of a local value exchange or exchange that is not based on strict adherence to monetary transaction. This is my take on a social artistic practice. How can art mimic life and life mimic art? In return for helping, I only ask to have a conversation about and then maybe document (a few photos) the work. The conversation/documentation are meant to be really non-invasive and can happen during the course of doing the work/tasks/etc. I am not looking to volunteer for an organization as I would prefer to work directly with people and contribute on a more individual, social level. I offe/' my abilities to you, myfellow community . ~ ~ members,jree of any monetary e:rchange . :: . - -~ . Let's talk. What can I do for you? No task is too small, unique, seasonal or intensive. Some specific skill s I have are: vegetarian/vegan cooki ng and shopping shaking hands for fresh produce and listening digital technology including audio, video, assisting treasured senior citizens and computer based organizi ng and moving things helping in the garden/yard ... and so much more This is about working together.

    NO STABLE GROUND: REAL DEMOCRACY IN THE OCCUPY MOVEMENT ANNA SZOLUCHA PhD Thesis Department of Sociology, Maynooth University November 2014 Head of Department: Prof. Mary Corcoran Supervisor: Dr Laurence Cox Rodzicom To my Parents ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis is an outcome of many joyous and creative (sometimes also puzzling) encounters that I shared with the participants of Occupy in Ireland and the San Francisco Bay Area. I am truly indebted to you for your unending generosity, ingenuity and determination; for taking the risks (for many of us, yet again) and continuing to fight and create. It is your voices and experiences that are central to me in these pages and I hope that you will find here something that touches a part of you, not in a nostalgic way, but as an impulse to act. First and foremost, I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to my supervisor, Dr Laurence Cox, whose unfaltering encouragement, assistance, advice and expert knowledge were invaluable for the successful completion of this research. He was always an enormously responsive and generous mentor and his critique helped sharpen this thesis in many ways. Thank you for being supportive also in so many other areas and for ushering me in to the complex world of activist research. I am also grateful to Eddie Yuen who helped me find my way around Oakland and introduced me to many Occupy participants – your help was priceless and I really enjoyed meeting you. I wanted to thank Prof. Szymon Wróbel for debates about philosophy and conversations about life as well as for his continuing support.

To that end, this paper is a tribune of those struggling to create such a new economic system. It is a vehicle to bring the movement to- gether, to create a vision of a better world and a strategy to achieve it. Labor-replacing electronic technol- ogy is permanently eliminating jobs and destroying the founda- tion of the capitalist system. The people’s needs can only be met by building a cooperative soci- ety where the socially necessary means of production are owned by society, not by the corporations. We welcome articles and artwork from those who are engaged in the struggle to build a new society that is of, by and for the people.

  • Defend Occupy Oakland with the Muscle of Organized Labor
    DEFEND OCCUPY OAKLAND WITH THE MUSCLE OF ORGANIZED LABOR Demonstrators in downtown Oakland Oakland North protesting the bank-driven economic crisis were brutally attacked by police from 18 Bay Area agencies on Tuesday Oct. 25. Mayor Quan, who was supported by ILWU Local 10 in the recent elections, ordered this bloody assault. Cops used potentially lethal weapons to break up the occupation of Frank Ogawa (now renamed Oscar Grant) Plaza just as they did in the port against anti-war protesters in 2003. That police attack was even criticized by the UN Human Rights Commission and ended up costing Oakland over $2 million in civil suits. Then-Local 10 longshoreman Billy Oakland teachers march in solidarity with Occupy Oakland, Oct. 26. Kepo’o was hit in the hand by a police tear gas canister causing a bloody mess. Now, Iraqi war vet, Scott Olsen, was hit in the head with a police projectile, causing a fracture and putting him in critical condition in Highland Hospital. This is exactly what killed one of the strikers in Seattle in the Big Strike of 1934. That history of police violence against strikers is why our Local 10 Constitution bans cops from membership in our union. Last year, Local 10 shutdown all ports to protest the police killing of young Oscar Grant. This year ILWU has been supporting Occupy Wall Street. Just last Monday the San Francisco Labor Council declared the Occupy San Francisco and Occupy Wall Street “sanctioned union strike lines” offering the protesters an umbrella of union protection. ILWU is under attack from PMA employers, not just here in the port of Oakland but especially in Longview, Washington.

  • Mayor Bloomberg Announced That the Very Act of Challenging Wall Street Would Be Treated As a Crime
    SPRING 2012 ISSUE 6 vote every day deep democratic moment, something most of us have never seen and scarcely imagined, turned a small park A near Wall Street into the center of a global storm. Everybody knows the deck is stacked. But it turns out not every- body is willing to put up with it. Without asking permission, hundreds converged on the financial district to stop the machine. People convened open assemblies to think out loud together. Kitchens were built and volunteers served hundreds of thousands of meals. Books were borrowed and lent at the People’s Library with no need for a card. Nobody did it for the money. Occupy Wall Street changed not just what we think is realistic, but what is actually possible. Then the 1% hit back. “If you want to get arrested, we’ll accommodate you,” is how Mayor Bloomberg announced that the very act of challenging Wall Street would be treated as a crime. “Nobody can hear you when everybody’s yelling and SPRING TRAINING AT LIBERTY SQUARE: Eight months into direct democracy and screaming and pushing and shoving.” Funny stuff. fear is still not on the agenda. Learning direct action and consensus decision-making In school, we were taught that we are free to speak and free — to keep the pressure on Wall Street. PHOTO: Jed Brandt to assemble. Now we’re told we have “First Amendment Rights Areas” located inside steel barricades. Over the last eight months, ST nearly 7,000 have been arrested and occupations in dozens of cit- ies have been systematically evicted.

    SOCIAL MOVEMENTS, CONSUMERS AND GLOBALIZATION Syed Tariq Anwar, West Texas A&M University WT Box 60809, College of Business, Canyon, Texas 79016 Email: [email protected], Tel: (806) 651-2491 ABSTRACT Drawing on the literature of social movements (SMs), the work analyzes and discusses the role SMs play in consumption, marketing and globalization. Since the literature on SMs in marketing is sparse and limited, we look at the research avenues of this debate in marketing and its related areas. We also discuss “the Occupy Movement” that in a short time has become a major movement in the U.S. Within SMs’ multidisciplinary literature and multifaceted contributions, the paper systematically evaluates and analyzes SMs and their conceptual issues and frameworks that relate to consumers and globalization. Findings of the paper reveal that SMs play an important role in marketing regarding consumption and global markets. The work also provides SM-specific research agenda and research settings that deal with marketing. We believe that this paper carries meaningful implications and managerial applications. Keywords: Consumers; Globalization; Marketing; Social Movements. INTRODUCTION In marketing, business ethics and globalization, SMs are important regarding their formal and informal activities, networks, consumer protests, and agendas. History reveals that SMs carry distinct organizational cultures and operational platforms that bring major structural changes in the business world. History also reveals that SMs can be exemplary organizations as well as self-serving nefarious entities. In the last few years, there is a renewed interest in SMs because of their tangible impact on consumption and marketing (Wikipedia, 2011). There are a multitude of active SMs in global markets that one way or another impact consumers, company-specific activities, and globalization areas.

  • Occupy Online 10 24 2011
    Occupy Online: Facebook and the Spread of Occupy Wall Street Neal Caren [email protected] Sarah Gaby [email protected] University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill October 24, 2011 Electronic copy available at: http://ssrn.com/abstract=1943168 Occupy Online: Facebook and the Spread of Occupy Wall Street Summary Since Occupy Wall Street began in New York City on September 17th, the movement has spread offline to hundreds of locations around the globe. Social networking sites have been critical for linking potential supporters and distributing information. In addition to Facebook pages on the Wall Street Occupation, more than 400 unique pages have been established in order to spread the movement across the US, including at least one page in each of the 50 states. These Facebook pages facilitate the creation of local encampments and the organization of protests and marches to oppose the existing economic and political system. Based on data acquired from Facebook, we find that Occupy groups have recruited over 170,000 active Facebook users and more than 1.4 million “likes” in support of Occupations. By October 22, Facebook pages related to the Wall Street Occupation had accumulated more than 390,000 “likes”, while almost twice that number, more than 770,000, have been expressed for the 324 local sites. Most new Occupation pages were started between September 23th and October 5th. On October 11th, occupy activity on Facebook peaked with 73,812 posts and comments to an occupy page in a day. By October 22nd, there had been 1,170,626 total posts or comments associated with Occupation pages.
