  • Aligning the Ethos of Zines with Youth-Driven Philosophical Inquiry
    Journal of Unschooling and Alternative Learning 2017 Vol. 11 Issue 22 DESIGNING A SPACE FOR THOUGHTUL VOICES: ALIGNING THE ETHOS OF ZINES WITH YOUTH-DRIVEN PHILOSOPHICAL INQUIRY By: Natalie M. FLETCHER Abstract This article strives to lay some necessary theoretical groundwork for justifying an alliance between zining and youth-driven “philosophical inquiry” (Lipman, 2004)—two important practices that operate outside the mainstream yet can shed light on conventional (mis)understandings of youth by illustrating innovative ways of designing space for young voices to emerge and thrive in their educational experiences and beyond. By highlighting the shared ethos between zining and philosophical inquiry as practices that foster meaning-making, this article aims to emphasize their common participatory, do-it-yourself, experimental, politicizing and transformative features, while noting the challenges involved in extending them to the context of childhood. Further, it illustrates how aligning zining and philosophical inquiry can contribute to a re-envisioning of children by portraying them as capable cultural producers and social historians of their own discourse communities. Lastly, it explores issues of adult authority, suggesting conditions that may help to authenticate the philosophical use of zines with youth. Keywords: Philosophy for Children, Zines, Philosophical Inquiry, Youth Agency Those without power also have the capability to create a culture— one that arises out of their way of understanding the world. —Stephen Duncombe, Notes from Underground: Zines and the Politics of Alternative Culture An eight-year old philosopher is sitting in front of a small booklet wondering what she will write next. She’s deep in thought about the nature of imagination after a heated dialogue with other kids over the possibility of imagining something that does not exist.

  • Andy Warhol: When Junkies Ruled the World
    Nebula 2.2 , June 2005 Andy Warhol: When Junkies Ruled the World. By Michael Angelo Tata So when the doorbell rang the night before, it was Liza in a hat pulled down so nobody would recognize her, and she said to Halston, “Give me every drug you’ve got.” So he gave her a bottle of coke, a few sticks of marijuana, a Valium, four Quaaludes, and they were all wrapped in a tiny box, and then a little figure in a white hat came up on the stoop and kissed Halston, and it was Marty Scorsese, he’d been hiding around the corner, and then he and Liza went off to have their affair on all the drugs ( Diaries , Tuesday, January 3, 1978). Privileged Intake Of all the creatures who populate and punctuate Warhol’s worlds—drag queens, hustlers, movie stars, First Wives—the drug user and abuser retains a particular access to glamour. Existing along a continuum ranging from the occasional substance dilettante to the hard-core, raging junkie, the consumer of drugs preoccupies Warhol throughout the 60s, 70s and 80s. Their actions and habits fascinate him, his screens become the sacred place where their rituals are projected and packaged. While individual substance abusers fade from the limelight, as in the disappearance of Ondine shortly after the commercial success of The Chelsea Girls , the loss of status suffered by Brigid Polk in the 70s and 80s, or the fatal overdose of exemplary drug fiend Edie Sedgwick, the actual glamour of drugs remains, never giving up its allure. 1 Drugs survive the druggie, who exists merely as a vector for the 1 While Brigid Berlin continues to exert a crucial influence on Warhol’s work in the 70s and 80s—for example, The Philosophy of Andy Warhol , as detailed by Bob Colacello in the chapter “Paris (and Philosophy )”—her street cred.

  • Because the Trent Book Shop Is in Nottingham Hannah Neate
    Because The Trent Book Shop is in Nottingham Hannah Neate In 1972 Stuart Mills, co-founder of the Tarasque Press, made the following comment in the catalogue for the exhibition ‘Metaphor and Motif’ held at Nottingham’s Midland Group Gallery: This exhibition, in its own way, sets the balance straight. If it is seen, if the catalogue is read widely enough then it should be clear that something surprisingly consistent has been going on in Nottingham for the past few years. This chapter is an attempt to explain some of the activities to which Mills was alluding. It is a story of an overlooked literary and artistic life in Nottingham from 1964 to 1972 which centred on the Trent Book Shop. This was a brief but significant period when avant-garde bookselling and the British Poetry Revival came to the East Midlands. The Trent Book Shop In his memoir of life in Nottingham in the sixties Ray Gosling describes how: There were books and magazines that you could only buy in special places, lots of little magazines from Greenwich Village, New York City, and all over the English-speaking world. Stuart and Martin who drank in Yate’s Wine Lodge and listened to the trio with us were teachers. They went part-time and opened an avant-garde bookshop, the first of its kind in our town to sell these free-thinking books.1 The shop to which Gosling refers to is the Trent Book Shop, opened in 1964 by Stuart Mills and Martin Parnell on Pavilion Road, in the West Bridgford area of Nottingham.

  • Hot Summer Nights, Killer Robots, and Movies from “Back in the Day”
    Jeff Kirkendall’s Thoughts For The Month Column Thoughts, Opinions, Reviews, Commentary & More! Hello and Welcome! My name is Jeff Kirkendall and I'm an independent filmmaker and actor from the Upstate New York area. This is the section of the Very Scary Productions website where I write about topics related to independent filmmaking, digital video production, acting, movies in general, horror movies in particular, my own indie movies, as well as anything and everything related or in between. I decided to create this commentary page because I find that I often come across things that either interest me, excite me, intrigue me, or maybe just bug me. Any topic related to movies and cinema is fair game, from the most mainstream to the most controversial. For example I'll often read about movie projects that I have a strong interest in or opinion on, for one reason or another. This page gives me a forum to discuss these things. It's all about discussion and furthering understanding of our pop culture. Anyone who has feedback concerning what I have to say here, feel free to contact me (see the contact link at http://www.veryscaryproductions.com/). I'd also like to point out that the following is just my opinion, and everyone is free to agree or disagree with what I have to say. Enjoy, and to all the Indies out there: Keep on Filming! SUBJECT: Hot Summer Nights, Killer Robots, and Movies from Back in the Day - A nostalgic look back at the 80’s horror films Chopping Mall and Night of the Comet – July 2006 * In previous columns I’ve talked about the merits of digital video and how this exciting technology has helped to begin democratize moviemaking.
