It has been a great pleasure to share a few hours time with you Jeremy. Your immersion into the world of Gebser and “integral florilegium” along with your gentle presence has conjured up the beautiful being that we witness before us.
We made valiant attempts to begin a discussion group through the Café last year, but during a taxing time of overflowing reading commitments. We may be there now too with focus on the various reading groups forming, but we are neither down nor out! I have created a placeholder for introducing Staying with the Trouble in our growing list of proposed Café topics. I would like to know what others in the @ccafe crew think might be worth exploring in next week’s Café before biting off while mouth is full.
Related explorations with Haraway as sidekickin’ kin:
@artex , who lead Bateson Week 6 session with a stringing together of Nora and Donna writings on “unbounded threads” + string figures and multispecies storytelling, may be interested to sit in for a spell if we discuss Haraway’s introduction.
Also, Chapter 6 of Staying with the Trouble was read in tandem with Octavia Butler’s “The Book of Martha” and may be of interest to you @Jeremy:
