SUMMARY:Women’s Liberation Movement: 1968-1975
DESCRIPTION:Jenny Brown\nTuesday\, July 18 and 25\, 7:30-9:30 pm \nReadings provided by Jenny for this series: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_eXN8wqn-HgaEpVaVlLOU1UTVk \nJULY 18 Origins & Theory: The Women’s Liberation Movement is rooted in the Black-led Southern Civil Rights Movement and most of its theory pioneers\, white and Black\, were full-time workers in that movement. They also drew from Simone de Beauvoir’s The Second Sex. As the Black Freedom movement turned to Black Power\, feminists took theory from Black Power and applied it to their newborn movement. We’ll read original sources from both the Black-led and majority-white branches of women’s liberation.  \nJULY 25 The Power of History: This class will analyze what made the 1960s Women’s Liberation Movement spread fast and win victories\, and also what made it vulnerable to watering down and liberal takeover. We will read analyses from Women’s Liberation Movement organizers written after the height of the movement’s power. \nJenny Brown is an organizer with National Women’s Liberation and has been involved in feminist theory and organizing since 1988\, first with Gainesville Women’s Liberation in Gainesville\, Florida and then with the Redstockings Women’s Liberation Archives for Action\, a movement think-tank and archive based in New York. She co-authored the Redstockings book\, Women’s Liberation and National Healthcare: Confronting the Myth of America and the Labor Notes book How to Jump Start Your Union: Lessons from the Chicago Teachers along with numerous essays and articles. She was also a co-chair of a Labor Party Local Organizing Committee in Gainesville\, Florida and is a former editor of Labor Notes. \nThose who have enrolled in the ongoing New Left series are already registered for these two sessions \nPrices below are sliding scale. No one is turned away for inability to pay.

SUMMARY:Existentialism\, Anti-Psychiatry: 1960s and beyond
DESCRIPTION:Existentialism and the Anti-Psychiatry Movement:\nConsiderations on Laing\, Cooper\, Schizoid-analysis and Radio Alice\nSecond presentation by Michael Pelias\nTuesday\, May 16\, 7:30 to 9:30 pm \nBehind the anti-psychiatry movement that blossomed during the 1970s was the fundamental post-Freudian work of Jean-Paul Sartre’s existential psychoanalysis. This highly creative approach by Sartre was named “existential psychoanalysis” and was first articulated at the end of the classic\, Being and Nothingness (1943). We will read a selection of this new approach to psychic individuation alongside the Laing/Cooper nexus that sprung the anti-psychiatry movement and resulted in open psychiatric institutions\, mental health liberation activity\, and an on-going critique of “bourgeois” psychiatry and contemporary behaviorism\, cognitive and psycho-pharmacological approaches to the question of what is mental health. We will also look at Laing’s famous proposition that schizophrenia is the sanest reaction to capitalism and engage the schizoid analysis of Deleuze and Guattari alongside the anti-psychiatry moment of Basaglia and Radio Alice in Italy.  \nAt minimum\, please read this section from Laing’s Politics of Experience at Marxists.org: https://www.marxists.org/reference/subject/philosophy/works/en/laing.htm \nMichael Pelias teaches both ancient and modern Philosophy at Long Island University\, Brooklyn and is one of the co-founders of the Institute for the Radical Imagination and co-managing editor of the journal Situations.  \nThose who are participating in the New Left course on Tuesday evenings are already enrolled for these two sessions. \nFees listed below are sliding scale. No one is turned away for inability to pay. \nFees paid are applicable to ongoing Foundations of New Left\, 1960-70 course which will continue until the end of July
