Fractured Narratives

I decided to vent my spleen about Echo 3 and Nope. Feel free to ignore the negativity.

The following post contains mild spoilers for Nope and Echo 3 The famous quote about stories needing a “beginning, middle and end but not necessarily in that order” has been rattling around my head of late. In the past week I have watched the Apple TV show, Echo 3 and the latest from Jordan Peele, Nope. Both of which have unusual, if not bizarre narrative structures. What strikes me upon…

Thursday, March 14: Dramatica, "Dark Pleasures"

Dramatica’s membership was a mix of unknowns and journeymen, and “Dark Pleasures” reflected that in certain ways: the track had a general balance of prog and power metal, but there was also a solid minute and a half of semi-grunge crunching before Mark Boals’ histrionic and ‘80s vocals (very much a continuation of his time with Yngwie Malmsteen) kicked in, while Mark Zonder likewise mixed Fates Warning-style prog metal drumming with something steadier and more traditional, complementing and adding dynamics to the riffing without calling too much attention to itself.  So this was a bit of a mixed bag, with some good ideas but also a weird throwback vibe.

I'm afraid I'll keep spamming you til you cut me off 😂

Why do you think the miller brothers ended up in Florida? Why not go home? Also would you write about them going back? Benny in that scenery??? Heaven 😍

Nooo I love frequent inbox visitors 🧡! Promise haha.

That's a great question. I'd give anything to pick Mark Boal & J.C. Chandor's brains for more backstory on the guys, honestly. Mark's original script before J.C. took over was set in North Carolina!

My best guess is that the boys were stationed somewhere in the southern states while they were on active duty and collectively ended up in Florida because it's a popular state for vets.

In the movie, Santi alludes to the fact that their military exploits started 17 years earlier. Given all the things they likely saw and had to do while they were Delta Force, how long they worked together, how close they all became, and the PTSD, they all probably felt more at home struggling through civilian life together in the same city versus the hometowns they'd long since left behind.

But anyway, I'd definitely love to explore the idea of them going back to CO eventually!

(Also, @theewokingdead has a series in the works about Benny going back to Red Feather Lakes post-TF! -> Timing Is Everything)

KN [Katie Natanel]: [...] I think what is sitting in my heart at this moment is how to hold this together: a will to do things otherwise and build things elsewhere, in ways that keep sight of power - and yet refuse it as totalising. This might be what María Lugones meant when she challenged us to work beyond “the logic of power” in her theorisation of/toward decolonial feminism. [...] What Lugones proposes (insists!) is not an abstract theoretical musing, something to be puzzled out by refracting ideas through frameworks. Rather, it is something to be done - a practice that we envision and embody because we must. [...]

KH [Kanwal Hameed]: [...] We are also drawing on a longer history of thinking about radical pedagogy (hooks, Freire, Boal and more - including many unpublished practitioners). [...] [S]ituated as we are within colonial extractive institutions, what is our relation to knowledge? We can think with Michel-Rolph Trouillot about how this relationship - which is invested with power - is obscured, as knowledge travels, enters, and circulates within institutions [...]. How do we make choices about what we share? As we move through the business of knowledge production, do we ask ourselves: who needs to know this, and why? Trouillot says, “the ultimate mark of power may be its invisibility; the ultimate challenge, the exposition of its roots.” How can we keep the roots of meta-structures of domination and extraction clear and visible to ourselves, and at the same time work, as Chandra Mohanty says, as “insurgent” communities within our institutions? How can we develop working practices which honour the engagements we have with the peoples, lives, histories, ideas that we work with?

KN: Yes, we are coming to a shared concern: what does it mean to work “beyond the logic of power” and build “insurgent communities” within extractive institutions? What does that require of us? In other spaces and times, I’ve named academia and Higher Education as explicitly neoliberal, shaped by capitalist ideals to the extent that (successful) teaching and learning yields subjects who reproduce the prevailing order and the violence that sustains it. I know that among us, we follow Paulo Freire and bell hooks in refusing that logic, and instead insist that education can be otherwise - that knowledge cultivation and sharing can move us toward “critical consciousness” (conscientização) and practices of freedom. [...]

---

KN: So the question is definitely one of method - how exactly do we work in these ways [...]? In The Undercommons, Stefano Harney and Fred Moten catch us with this claim: “THE ONLY POSSIBLE RELATIONSHIP TO THE UNIVERSITY IS A CRIMINAL ONE.” [...] Instead, Harney and Moten invite us into fugitivity:

[I]t cannot be denied that the university is a place of refuge, and it cannot be accepted that the university is a place of enlightenment. In the face of these conditions one can only sneak into the university and steal what one can. To abuse its hospitality, to spite its mission, to join its refugee colony, its gypsy encampment, to be in but not of – this is the path of the subversive intellectual in the modern university.

“To be in but not of.” This is to accept that our labour might be captured or extracted (even willingly) by the institution – that we might “be beneficial to capital” – but to do our work beneath the surface, refusing to serve its logics by “disappear[ing] into the underground.” This is a space/time of the future, where we are learning, building, nourishing, creating, and preparing for a new order. [...]

---

KH: [...] Through them, I am also asking: can we meet each other in other ways? At a morning MA seminar [...], I began our session with a quick warm up game taken from the methods of Augusto Boal [...]. It encouraged members of the class to look at one another, and to lead by paying attention to and reading non-verbal cues. At the same time, it occurred to me that the exchange was still being shaped by other power dynamics, including race, physical appearance and clothing, and dis/ability. For a myriad of reasons, people don’t necessarily always want to be seen, or known. [...] This approach to learning involves grappling with discomfort and learning to de-centre. Teaching students to de-centre themselves - by asking who is known? who is know-ing? who is know-er? [...]

KN: These are worlds we can build and inhabit - they hold what was, what is, and what will be. They are spaces of secrecy, criminality and solidarity, revolt, retreat, and release. They are sites of study and strategy, offering care, love, nourishment, and pleasure. These fugitive worlds are where we meet and dream together - where we hold each other up when the doing feels too much, where we take turns carrying the weight. They are not ephemeral, but rising and receding according to our needs and careful judgement/s of the moment. We can be there learning, agitating, disrupting, growing, and laughing - and at the same time here, rising to the surface to steal what we can.

I am starting to understand how we might create these worlds with people we meet through the extractive institutions we work in (but are not of) - on picket lines [...], in classrooms and hallways, at protests and workshops - in time that may be “stolen” by virtue of the systems and norms that define criminality, but in truth is reclaimed, re-purposed, and re-valued. Finding our communities can be an act of recognition, seeing/hearing/feeling/sensing yourself in another (even if a fleeting glimpse) or something more radical: recognising “[…] that this shit is killing you, too, however much more softly.” I think this is partly what leads us toward decolonial and anticolonial feminist praxis, pedagogies, and thought: the belief that when we work in antithetical ways we are also in motion toward each other.
