    REPRESENTATION, POLITICS AND MONEY: A SCREENING GUIDE “I’m running because of Cori Bush. I’m running because of Paula Jean Swearengin. I’m running because everyday Americans deserve to be represented by everyday Americans.” - Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez TABLE OF CONTENTS 4 About the Film 5 Letter from Director, Rachel Lears 6 Using the Guide Tips for Leading Conversations Pre-Screening Discussion Questions 9 Post-Screening Background and Context Who Knocked in 2018? Representation: Who is in Congress and Why it Matters How Money Works in Elections The Politics of Elections 25 Get Involved Share the Film Spark Conversations Across Party Lines Vote and Get Out the Vote Support a Candidate Run for Office 33 Resources for Further Learning 3 ABOUT THE FILM Knock Down the House is the story of four working-class women who embraced the challenge of running for Congressional office in the 2018 midterm elections. They are four of the record numbers who organized grassroots campaigns, rejected corporate PAC money and challenged the notion that everyday people can run successful campaigns against sitting incumbents. Collectively these candidates herald a cultural and political shift to transform the process of running and electing our representatives. Such changes do not occur in a vacuum, nor are they about a singular issue. Rather they about changing the attitudes, behaviors, terms, and outcomes of existing and entrenched norms and building towards a more inclusive and representative government. 4 LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR, RACHEL LEARS I’ve been making films about politics since the days of Occupy Wall Street. After having a baby in 2016, I thought I might take a break from political filmmaking—but the day after the election, I knew I had no choice.

  • Vänskap Värden Vandel
    Vänskap värden vandel Avvikelser och återhämtningsstrategier hos Göteborgs första generation ungdomsnarkomaner Christer Ahlman INSTITUTIONEN FÖR SOCIALT ARBETE Vänskap, värden, vandel De ungdomar som introducerade den tunga narkotikan i 1950-talets Göteborg rekryterades i begynnelsen ur konstnärliga och bohemiska kretsar. Ganska snart sökte sig ett antal unga män ur stadens kriminella sällskap också till de nya drogerna. Ett antal unga prostituerade kvinnor visade också tidigt intresse. Från att under 1950-talet ha varit en ganska lekfull företeelse över- gick verksamheten under nästa decennium i former som hade förmåga att sluka tillvaron. Under 1960-talets sista år övergick den färgspra- kande hippiekulturens drogmarknad och konsumtionsformer i en mer hårdför, ensartad och kriminaliserad missbrukssituation. I detta skede hade ett antal pionjärer och veteraner hunnit bli så psykiskt och fysiskt nerkörda att de nödgades se sig om efter en mer anständig livsstil. Denna avhandling beskriver de gängkulturer och samhällsförhållan- den som var rådande då Göteborgs första generation ungdomsnarko- maner intog Avenyn och flackade runt på Götaplatsen och Skanstorget. Ett antal ungdomar som efter något tiotal år som injektionsnarkomaner lyckades komma på fötter och ordnade sig ett anständigt liv har under 1980-talet och 2000-talet skildrat händelseutvecklingen med hjälp av sina egna livsberättelser.

One view would argue that they apply some universal principle or model, that helps them handle the many contingencies of a situation. But architects themselves often claim, on the contrary, that their work grows out of the situation genuinely. Rarely do they make claims for universal validity of their achievements. The situational character of their work therefore poses the question of how architects get familiarized with a situation. This study shows that the architect’s grasp of the situation may fruitfully be viewed as memory, retrieved inventively through sketching and other imaginative practices, for- ming an art of recollection. keywords: metonomy, realism, workplace, architecture, sketching, heuristic, contexture, memory, rhetoric, contiguity issn 0346-718x issn 1650-6340, 2010:01 isbn 978-91-7385-359-0 The report is written in Swedish.

  • 2020 Election Year Is an Opportunity for Transformational Change If We Embrace Our Power | Dissident Voice
    4/26/2020 2020 Election Year Is an Opportunity for Transformational Change If We Embrace Our Power | Dissident Voice About DV Archives Donate Contact Us Submissions Books Links 2020 Election Year Is an Opportunity for Transformational Change If We Embrace Our Power by Kevin Zeese and Margaret Flowers / April 22nd, 2020 Although we do not tie our organizing to the election cycle, the 2020 election is an opportunity for the people to set the agenda for the 2020s. We need to show that whether Donald Trump or Joe Biden are elected, the people will rule from below. We need to build our power to demand the transformational we need. We are living in an opportune time, as has existed previously in the United States when many of the issues people have fought for have come to the forefront, but the two parties disregarded the people. Similar to the abolition movement in the 19th century and the progressive/socialist movement in the early 20th century, this is our moment in the 21st century for systemic changes that fundamentally alter our healthcare system, economy, foreign policy, environmental policy and more. As Kali Akuno of Cooperation Jackson said in our recent Clearing the FOG interview (available Monday), the right- wing is using this time to push through their agenda of corporate bailouts, deregulation, and worker exploitation. If the left doesn’t organize and counter this, the country will continue on its current destructive path. The changes we want won’t come from the top. Both corporate duopoly candidate’s priorities are the wealthy investor class and big business.

As a creator of sound art, I wanted to know what it can do. I tried to find out about the potential field in the overlap between a political aesthetic and a political sonic, between an artis- tic activism and sonic war machines. My point of entry was Steve Goodman’s Sonic Warfare. From there, trajectories unfolded through sonic architectures into an activist philosophy in interactive art. Sonic weapon technology and contemporary sound art practices define a frame for my works. In the end, I could only hint at sonic agents for change. iii CONTENTS i thesis 1 1 introduction 3 1.1 Why sound matters (to me) . 3 1.2 Listening for “New Weapons” . 4 1.3 Sounds of War . 5 1.4 Aesthetics and Politics . 6 2 acoustic weapons 11 2.1 On “Non-lethal” Weapons (NLW) . 11 2.2 A brief history of weaponized sound . 14 2.3 Sonic Battleground Europe . 19 2.4 Civil Sonic Weapons and Counter Measures . 20 3 the art of (sonic) war 23 3.1 Advanced Hyperstition: Goodman’s work after Sonic Warfare . 23 3.2 Artistic Sonic War Machines . 26 3.3 Ultrasound Art and Micropolitics of Frequency . 31 4 the search for sound artivism 37 4.1 Art and Activism .

  • Tori Amos Live
    TORI AMOS LIVE Musik-Ikone am 2. März 2022 in der Laeiszhalle in Hamburg! Tori Amos, eine der erfolgreichsten und einflussreichsten Künstlerinnen ihrer Generation, hat mehr als 12 Millionen Alben verkauft, über 1.000 Konzerte gegeben und zahlreiche Auszeichnungen erhalten. Seit ihrem Debüt ›Little Earthquakes‹ 1992 sandte sie mit ihren musikalischen Offenbarungen oftmals Schockwellen aus. Im Verlauf ihrer erstaunlichen Karriere entwickelte sich die weltweit anerkannte Sängerin und Songschreiberin zu einer wahren Kultfigur der internationalen Musikszene. Dabei erfährt sie immer wieder Zuspruch für ihre beispiellosen Botschaften und ambivalenten Bekenntnisse, die verwirren, verwundern und verzaubern – und das u.a. auch als Autorin eines New York Times-Bestseller (›Resistance‹). In der Musikszene greift Amos auch gerne mal zu schärferen Tönen – und prägt damit eine ganze Industrie. Von ihrer bedrückenden Schilderung sexueller Gewalt in ›Me and a Gun‹ über ihr post 9/11-Album ›Scarlet’s Walk‹ bis hin zu ihrem feministischem Musical ›The Light Princess‹ (2013) hat sie sich nie davor gescheut, persönliche Erfahrungen mit politischen Ansichten zu verbinden. Ihr 15. und jüngstes Studioalbum ›Native Invader‹ aus dem Jahre 2017 entstand mit der Absicht zu beweisen, dass »wir das destruktive um uns herum mit kreativer Kraft überwinden können.« Und diese Botschaft war auch 2020 die Grundlage ihres zweiten New York Times-Bestsellers ›Resistance‹, eine Geschichte der Hoffnung, des Wechsels und des Muts als Gegenpol zum derzeitigen Trauma.
