Judith Levine: “Kids, Sex & the State” (Sat 2:00 pm auditorium)
The last 25 years have seen an immense escalation of adult surveillance and legal and criminal “justice” interventions in the consensual sexual lives of children & teens. That’s caused lots of harm–usually far more than the sex itself. Does the state have any role in guiding youthful sex or protecting kids from themselves or each other? Should adults ever interfere — say, in aggressive but not criminal teen sexual expressions? How did we get here? What is happening now? What resistance is there to repressive policies? What should sex radicals do?
Judith Levine is the author of four books, including Harmful to Minors: The Perils of Protecting Children From Sex, which won the LA Times Book Award. Her most recent book, Not Buying It: My Year Without Shopping, an exploration of the quandaries of need, desire, consumption, and communit.

Crudo: “Make the Total Destroy on Middle Class Anarchism: Importance of Intentions in Anarchist Action” (Sat 1:30 pm cafe)
Starting with a critique of his own past experiences involved with anarcho-activism, crudo argues that many anarchist projects are based in middle class values and ideology. He argues that the intentions behind why we carry out anarchist projects are just as important as the projects themselves.

Involved in the North American anarchist movement for over 6 years, he was a member of the Modesto based community organizing group, Direct Action Anti-Authoritarians (DAAA) Collective, from 2003-2006, and has since run with the Modesto Anarcho Crew (MAC – wat wat).

Sara Brodzinsky: “Think Galactic…or your world is lost!” (Sat 5:00 pm cafe)
Science fiction has often been a vehicle for exploring ideas about what societies could be and examining the implications of current realities. While many of these worlds are idealized imperialist visions that do little to challenge dominant social thought, there is also a rich history of critical exploration of issues of hierarchy, government, race, class, gender and oppression. We will review this history, look at a sampling of works that have emerged out of the radical science fiction tradition and discuss its importance and relevance.
Sara Brodzinsky is an activist and engineer and an avid science fiction fan. She is co-founder of Think Galactic, a radical science fiction book club in Chicago and a member of the organizing collective for Think GalactiCon, a radical left science fiction convention.

Stevphen Shukaitis & Richard Kempton: “Provos, Autonomy, and Ludic Politics” (Sun 2:00 pm cafe)
The Provos were a small Dutch anarchist group in the 1960s, of some 50 people who were active in Amsterdam from 1965 to 1967. Although small group they cast a disproportionately large shadow on the events of the time, due to their skillful analysis of social unrest among Dutch youth, tying their political program to the rich magical heritage of Amsterdam’s Bohemian subculture, with its adroit use of the avant-garde phenomenon, the Happening, which they managed to turn into political street theater that captured the pulse of Amsterdam’s population. Provo was an uncanny match of political acumen, inane street theater and sheer coincidence that combined to ignite the soul of a great city as well as the entire country.
Stevphen Shukaitis is a lecturer at the University of Essex. He is a member of the Autonomedia Editorial collective and is the editor (with Erika Biddle and David Graeber) of Constituent Imagination: Militant Investigations / Collective Theorization (AK Press, 2007). Richard Kempton lived in Amsterdam in the early 1960s, and came to Provo in 1965 when his Dutch wife wrote a paper on Provo Speech for a class. Her interest inspired him to write this book because he couldn’t find one to read. He is a retired librarian living in Los Angeles.
