Queer Radical Reading Group 6/1

This Sunday, June 1, our next meeting for the queer radical reading group will meet. Now instead of giving you the location I will give you a discussion of sorts that you must interpret in order to figure out the possible locations and time. It's a critical scavenger hunt for those who wish to partake. A: Mayor Daley was not a radical. B: But, which Mayor Daley are you talking about? A: Well, the current Mayor Daley recently supported the naming of a park after Lucy Parsons. B: Although that is rather humorous, his public/private financing of Millennium Park is obviously not radical. A: The former Mayor Daley had little issue with beating radicals senseless. B: Sadly, one was not even safe in ones own home. A: Either option of Mayor Daley is not ideal. B: And it's rather horrifying that the current Mayor Daley is on his fifth term. A: Five terms, lord have mercy. B: We need radical thought, not divine forgiveness. The essay that we're reading for this week is "A Cyborg Manifesto: Science, Technology, and Socialist-Feminism in the Late Twentieth Century" by Donna Haraway, a very influential essay for current trans-theory. If you'd like a way to find a copy of this essay, which is in Haraway's book "Simians, Cyborgs, Women" then send me an email. You can also email me if you'd like a simplified version of the location and time. I am reachable at kitchensforreading (at) riseup.net. Hopefully we'll meet some new people at our next meeting.
