Dear Friends,

The Mendocino Institute, cordially invites you to a
workshop this Saturday, December 11th on
"The Commune: Histories, Legacies and Prospects in

The workshop, which is open and free to the public,
brings together communards, urban and rural, who
participated in the great efflorescence of utopian,
communal and cooperative ventures beginning
in the mid 60s but having deep roots in the New World.
Drawing on the experiences of the participants, the
workshop aims to open up a range
of issues central to an understanding of the past and
future of communalism, and its lived experience: the
long capitalist boom and the
cold war family; land, property and anti-capitalist
projects; the
class, racial and sexual politics of communes; the
city and/versus the
country; architecture and the politics of space;
reproduction,
child-rearing and education; communes and the state
("code wars", the
political economy of cannabis); foodways, barter and
gleaning; communes
and environmentalism; underground presses, music and
the
counterculture; charisma, leadership and
anti-authoritarianism;
governance and decision-making; the causes of crisis
and dissolution;
the fate of the commons in a neo-liberal world.
Please extend this invitation to anyone who may be
interested.
