LIBERTARIAN BOOK CLUB / ANARCHIST FORUM

----------->Thus Spoke The Spectacle a live video media critique Performed by Eric Goodman and Mike Stevens
@@@@> The June Anarchist Forum >>>>On Tuesday, June 10, at 7:00 pm, the Anarchist Forum will present "Thus Spoke The Spectacle", a live music video critique of media-saturated culture. The performance, based on Guy Debord's landmark Situationist work "The Society of the Spectacle," combines original music with bit and pieces of the media barrage reassembled to draw out their hidden meanings. The Spectacle, according to Debord is "the world of illusion where all attention and consciousness converge," constituting a unified thought-world constructed daily through communication technology. The Spectacle is dominated by images of commercialized community: happy, well-adjusted people connected to each other, and a multitude of products, in meaningful and satisfying ways. The reality is a never-ending psychic invasion causing alienation: separation from the self, from others, and from a genuine experience of life. Music by Eric Goodman, lyrics by Guy Debord, live performance by Eric Goodman and Mike Stevens. The performers will talk with the audience after the show.

Prospects for a More Coherent Left

Thursday, March 13th, 8pm @ Brecht Forum

Working through non-profits, autonomous collectives, small socialist or
anarchist organizations, today's generation of anti-capitalist organizers
is bumping up against the limits of existing left forms--just as the 1960s
generation did under different conditions 40 years ago. Learning from past
successes and failures, can we identify fruitful approaches for making a
leap toward a more coherent radical movement in the next two-to-five
years?

@@@@@@@@@@> The December LBC Anarchist Forum What's Really Wrong with the U.S.A. Peter Lamborn Wilson's Chaos Day 2007
On Tuesday, December 11, at 7:30pm, at The Living Theatre, 21 Clinton Street, Manhattan, the Libertarian Book Club's Anarchist Forum will present Peter Lamborn Wilson, author of many books and articles on sufism, piracy and anarchist values, who will be making his annual Chaos Day speech. When he speaks about what is really wrong with the U.S.A., he will not be saying the rubbish that one often hears on the street or from the media. Rather, Peter will
explore in a critical and philosophical manner many elements of our lives and environment that one seldom hears discussed but which are still vital parts that need to be changed. As is always the case at the Anarchist Fora, Peter will also listen to the audience and respond to their comments and questions
