Dear all, We present the results of our 2 year's editorial/curatorial and collaborative research work through these turbulent times in the form of our 11th issue- “Culture Beside Itself” <http://www.joaap.org/issue11/issue11note.htm> -http://www.joaap.org/issue11/issue11note.htm <http://www.joaap.org/issue11/issue11note.htm> - Issue 11: Journal of Aesthetics & Protest, Culture Beside Itself Autonomously edited non-fascist or avant garde collectively edited Newsletters, presented as a model for other ways of research and non-institutional work. In that way, it is conceptualized in relation to new municipalist and decolonial cultural and theoretical work.
The Journal of Aesthetics & Protest is an almost 20-year old autonomous non-academic journal that describes itself as a “freak archive” and radical thinking group, publishing outfit and artist’s colective. http://www.joaap.org <http://www.joaap.org/> ——————————————— Culture Beside Itself, the 11th issue is primarilly a compendium of 19 newsetters, authored and autonomously edited non- or anti-fascist or avant garde collectives. These newsletters were locally distributed before joining our compendium. The editorial/curatorial project began as a way to support and/or initiate more long-term situated praxis - praxis with a decidedly critical eye towards whatever mediating force– left or right; in support of radical, decolonial, eco-social and progressive ends bound up in those left-mediating forces. The issue is a work of political solidarity and book arts; we wanted to take seriously our practice as editor/orgaizers. --- In addition to our lllustrated editorial, the issue also contains four article that reflect on the issue's subject of focus. - Print media theorist Nick Thoburn on the newsletter form as a possibly communist object <https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fymlpcl9.com%2F7b2d5mybataehqwyazawjjaaabuqb%2Fclick.php&data=01%7C01%7Ccup02mh%40gold.ac.uk%7C6b322a8ca9d844ab0ef008d821ac6338%7C0d431f3f20c1461c958a46b29d4e021b%7C0&sdata=wjjHe84FMelArf1z7jw05G5MWm3kOC5sd0ODw%2FS3%2BEs%3D&reserved=0>. - Out of the Woods Collective on eco-fascism, practice and place <https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fymlpcl9.com%2F2f806myhakaehqwyapawjjalabuqb%2Fclick.php&data=01%7C01%7Ccup02mh%40gold.ac.uk%7C6b322a8ca9d844ab0ef008d821ac6338%7C0d431f3f20c1461c958a46b29d4e021b%7C0&sdata=Oe61rPuB9YNWk7%2BK8X%2BjyCeVlTHlGBiqiZIdOz2%2F4bg%3D&reserved=0> - Critical Theorist Hammam Aldouri on the limits of the art world's liberal universalism- via LA MOCA and Marina Abramovic <https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fymlpcl9.com%2F184f9mywaraehqwyapawjjaaabuqb%2Fclick.php&data=01%7C01%7Ccup02mh%40gold.ac.uk%7C6b322a8ca9d844ab0ef008d821ac6338%7C0d431f3f20c1461c958a46b29d4e021b%7C0&sdata=rQhsF9IH2hl%2B8J0ApHFk1geCbn0qsicWyJ1MwC%2BOcDc%3D&reserved=0> - Tools for Action artist collective, on the creation of non-fascist avant garde collective spectacle <https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fymlpcl9.com%2F66b25myqadaehqwyaoawjjacabuqb%2Fclick.php&data=01%7C01%7Ccup02mh%40gold.ac.uk%7C6b322a8ca9d844ab0ef008d821ac6338%7C0d431f3f20c1461c958a46b29d4e021b%7C0&sdata=Flr3Gl0yQp7IkzVjkqTWvYx4WGnrxbwW2wfI2QvRC3E%3D&reserved=0> Newsletters from: Anti-fascist Culture (Athens, Thessaloniki & beyond) Black Book Assembly (Hong Kong, Wuhan, and elsewhere) Museum Adjacent <https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fymlpcl9.com%2F4cc93jsuaxaehqwyagawjjanabuqb%2Fclick.php&data=01%7C01%7Ccup02mh%40gold.ac.uk%7C6b322a8ca9d844ab0ef008d821ac6338%7C0d431f3f20c1461c958a46b29d4e021b%7C0&sdata=P3HJ3awWbrqXuGAROSQabGHVw43GrakhHky4MWTkibE%3D&reserved=0>(Los Angeles) The Center for Enchantment (Albany) We TBD (Los Angeles) Zizi de Vitruve (Strasbourg) Around the Table (London) La Foresta/Evening Class (Rovereto & London) Five Years (London) Never Again/Anti-Fascist Year <https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fymlpcl9.com%2F01baejsqavaehqwyatawjjaaabuqb%2Fclick.php&data=01%7C01%7Ccup02mh%40gold.ac.uk%7C6b322a8ca9d844ab0ef008d821ac6338%7C0d431f3f20c1461c958a46b29d4e021b%7C0&sdata=vL2XFR1OUYpwM%2BlfogeienceUClVAttkWz5yAPBZ1r4%3D&reserved=0> (Warsaw) Woodbine (Ridgewood Queens, New York) collective @ .ac (Lancashire) ReadingRoom (Utrecht) Evening Class (London) The Re-Imagining Value Action Lab/RiVAL (Thunder Bay) DSA Ecosocialist WG (Santa Cruz) Critical Practice Notes (Los Angeles) The Casual School Collective (Canberra) Pro Arts Gallery & Commons (Oakland)
