DESCRIPTION:Hey there you lovers of social theory and philosophy – Old Capitol Books 
 is teaming up again with the Direct Action Monterey Network to bring a 
 series of seminars on critical and political theory to downtown 
 Monterey.\n\nThis summer’s seminars are facilitated by a collection of 
 artists, professors, and students who live and work on the peninsula, 
 covering the topics of Transgender Anarchism, Marxist-Feminism, Queer 
 Theory, and Transnational Feminism.\n\n******Transgender 
 Anarchism******\n\nTransgender Anarchism is a talk aimed at audiences 
 unfamiliar with trans issues, seeking to illustrate the ways in which 
 societal power structures impact trans people, with attention to the 
 intersectionality of various forms of privilege and oppression and the 
 vastly different life experiences they create. We will explore the 
 normative model of established gender transition and the access to legal 
 and medical resources it requires, and consider alternative options for 
 transgender existence. \n\nRecommended readings are from "Captive Genders: 
 Trans Embodiment and the Prison Industrial Complex", edited by Eric A. 
 Stanley and Nat Smith and "Normal Life: Administrative Violence, Critical 
 Trans Politics, and the Limits of Law" by Dean Spade. \n\nAll available for 
 free at oldcapitolbooks.com\n\nQueer Theory\nFriday 5 August 2016,

 Feminism\nFriday 26th August 2016, 7pm\nFacilitated by Sriya 
 Shrestha\n\nThese series of seminar sessions have been put together to 
 encourage the exchange of ideas, experiences, and knowledge surrounding a 
 particular topic or theme. We want to create a place where people can meet 
 with other people from Monterey Bay communities to talk about current 
 events and discuss new philosophies and ways of thinking critically about 
 society. Though these seminars have been designed for non-students, and for 
 those of us who have had little or no college experience, everyone is 
 invited to participate. We believe that everyone can have something to 
 offer to the seminars as we move through current debates in politics and 
 different political and social theories.\n
