SUMMARY:Music\, Rebellion\, Repression
DESCRIPTION:Two authors and a DJ \nFolksingers and the FBI by Aaron Leonard\nSome of the most prominent folk singers of the 20th Century\, Woody Guthrie\, ‘Sis Cunningham\, Pete Seeger\, Burl Ives\, etc.\, were also political activists with various associations with the American Communist Party. As a consequence the FBI\, kept meticulous files running many thousands of pages on them. Using music\, video selections\, news clippings\, and records from extensive Freedom of Information Act filings — including never before released material — this presentation will bring to life these artists and the systematic way  \nThe Explosion of Deferred Dreams by Mat Callahan\nThe book’s impassioned arguments both expose and reframe the political and social context for the San Francisco Sound and the vibrant subcultural uprisings with which it is associated. Using dozens of original interviews\, primary sources\, and personal experiences\, Callahan shows how the intense interplay of artistic and political movements put San Francisco\, briefly\, in the forefront of a worldwide revolutionary upsurge. A must-read for anyone who “was there” (or longed to have been). \nwith DJ Dennis O’Neil  \nMAT CALLAHAN is a musician and author. Most recently he re-published Songs of Freedom by James Connolly and launched the Songs of Slavery and Emancipation project. He is the author of five books including in 2017 The Explosion of Deferred Dreams and A Critical Guide to Intellectual Property. Callahan resides in Bern Switzerland.  \nAARON LEONARD is author of Heavy Radicals: The FBI’s Secret War on America’s Maoists\, and A Threat of the First Magnitude—FBI Counterintelligence & Infiltration: From the Communist Party to the Revolutionary Union. A regular contributor to Truthout and HNN.us\, he lives in Los Angeles.

SUMMARY:Birth of the Binge
DESCRIPTION:Serial TV\, Digital Accumulation and Distracted Audiences\nDennis Broe \nDennis Broe’new book Birth of the Binge: Serial TV and The End of Leisure is an attempt to alter the way serial television is viewed by\, instead of starting with the shows themselves or with serial fandom\, first integrating the form\, which began at the opening of the neoliberal era in the early 1980s\, into ongoing processes of the digital economy. The book views serial television as a part of what Bernard Stiegler terms hyperindustrialism\, seeing the form and the delivery system which is part of its development as adapting itself to more harried workers on the go and utilizing both technological and narrative devices which foster addictive viewing and participate in the validation of a new corporate autistic personality.  \nStreaming television is seen not as a revolutionary break\, as many media critics describe it\, but as a continuation\, often by the same multinationals\, of the old network processes in different and sometimes more predatory forms. The form has also spawned series that critique both this process and the offline forms of extraction that are growing more and more deadly. Broe’s talk on the book will also encompass new developments in resistant cinema\, particularly in the case of Italian cinema which\, like serial television series\, operates in a constrained and dangerous atmosphere in truthtelling and which must then find ever more ingenious ways of deniability of the truth it is unfolding. This will be discussed in the context of the Yellow-Green of the far-right League and the Populist Five Star Parties. \nDennis Broe\, who has taught in the Television Studies Master’s Program at the Sorbonne\, is also the author of Maverick: Or How the West Was Lost; Class Crime and International Film Noir: Globalizing America’s Dark Art; Film Noir\, American Workers and Postwar Hollywood and Cold War Expressionism: Perverting the Politics of Perception. His television series: TV on TV is on Art District TV in Paris and he is a critic for Arts Express on the Pacifica Radio Network.
