A boat should be a way of traveling across water surfaces while staying mostly dry. We wanted each boat to be rapidly re- producible by anyone. The conceptual plan emerged long before the initial construction phases but became enmeshed with it as well. I had also been thinking initially about tides and flood-lines left on houses in New Orleans, and it was easy to project in what we were doing some kind of eco-apocalyptic remediation project, some kind of Ark or escape hatch.

  • Civil Society Engagements with Neoliberalism
    The Ambiguity of Resistance: Civil Society Engagements with Neoliberalism by Jared Blustein B.A., Mount Royal University, 2013 Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences © Jared Blustein 2017 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Spring 2017 Approval Name: Jared Blustein Degree: Master of Arts Title: The Ambiguity of Resistance: Civil Society Engagements with Neoliberalism Examining Committee: Chair: Dara Culhane Professor Yıldız Atasoy Senior Supervisor Professor Kathleen Millar Supervisor Assistant Professor Geoff Mann External Examiner Professor Department of Geography Date Defended/Approved: February 24, 2017 ii Ethics Statement iii Abstract Resistances to neoliberal capitalism primarily occur within the realm of civil society today. There are varying theories that speak to the ability of such resistances. On the one hand, a theory of neoliberal ontology posits an inescapable structure that delimits our capacity to effectively resist. On the other hand, a theory of intentional economy asserts an ability to contest and transform dominant structures. Through a qualitative semi-ethnographic extended-case study conducted with two para-capitalist organizations operating within southern British Columbia, this thesis examines and nuances notions of resistance via a Polanyian and Marxist theoretical framework, and advances an argument for a theory of the ‘politics of ambiguity’. This captures the simultaneous positionings of resistance groups within a neoliberal ontology and intentional economy form. As determined, these groups necessarily demonstrate ambiguity to varying degrees, on the one hand reproducing neoliberal paradigms and structures, while concurrently working to forge emancipatory realities and understandings.

  • A Student's Guide on What a Zine Is and Tips on How to Make
    A Student’s Guide on What a Zine Is and Tips on How to Make One Version 2.0 (2004) by Matt Holdaway What is a zine? Pronounced like “magazine” without the “maga” A zine is an independently created publication. It is often created by any means necessary and/or available, more often done out of passion for a subject rather than for commercial success. Currently, zines are typically photocopied using word processors, but there are many who utilize offset printing or create handmade zines with content made using collage, digital photography, silkscreen, litho, hand-written creative writing, etc. A zine can be about any subject and done in any style imaginable. Some typical subjects for content are creative writing, comics, personal writings, fan-based writings, science fiction, literature, anthology/art, and review, however it is completely open. A person with access to a photocopier can be writer, publisher, and printer. Nothing is easy, everything is possible. The quickest method from idea to print is to self- publish. The most control one could have over the content and appearance of a publication is to self-publish. A Brief History of Publishing The oldest known woodblock printing in the world is the Darani Sutra , found inside Seokga Pagoda of Bulguksa Temple, Korea, printed before 751 A.D. This sutra predated the Japanese Million Pagoda. The Darani Sutra dated to 770 A.D. Chinese printers used wood blocks with characters carved into them, which were then inked and transferred to paper in the 8th century. In the 11th century, Pi Sheng created a form of moveable type allowing for letters to be rearranged.

The resilience and strength of these and other communities, who make ancestral connections to this region in the face of injustice, challenges us to support them and all Indigenous people in the ongoing struggle against colonialism, capitalism, and cultural genocide.
