On the Road with the Nomadic Festival

This collection of stories and illustrations paints the triumphs and misadventures of the Nomadic Festival at breakneck speed, and offers ideas and inspiration for the next outlaw orgy.

“Eco-feminism, censorship, and the ‘queerness’ of the True North. Richly eclectic in tone and material, unrelentingly controversial, and very difficult to ignore. It is likely the most novel take on our state of affairs in quite some time.” — Michael Freeman, Venue magazine, Toronto.Crimes of the Beats

The Unbearables
One evening, the Unbearable Beatniks of Light were bemoaning the sorry state of radical culture, and asked themselves what single act they could do to release themselves from their past, while at the same time honoring it. Perhaps put the beatniks, the real beatniks, on trial? Turn the Crimes of the Beats into the Nuremberg of Bohemia: Call out Burroughs for copping W. C. Fields’ act, and Ginsberg for being the original Maynard G. Krebs in the gray flannel beretÑalways hyping, hyping, hyping the myth, then selling, selling, selling it as the only viable alternative to the polluted mainstream. And of course Jackie boy himself for claiming that he wrote On the Road in one sitting, a lie that ruined three whole generations of novelists gobbling speed to duplicate the feat of the beat that never really went down in anything short of seven drafts.

Cyberfeminist Practices
Maria Fernandez, Faith Wilding and Michelle M. Wright, editorsPart performative intervention, part radical polemic and activist manual, Domain Errors! Cyberfeminist Practices introduces a diverse international group of feminist writers, artists, theorists, and activists engaged in formulating a contestational politics for tactical cyberfeminism. This recombinant book highlights productive intersections of feminist and postcolonial discourses through critical analyses of the embodied politics of digital culture. Opening areas repressed in previous cyberfeminist discourses, the authors map contemporary social relations between women as they are mediated and transformed by digital and bio technologies. “If you want another e-feminist volume rehashing Lacan, weaving as metaphor, or the icon as on-line identity, don’t buy this book. These cyberfeminisists take no prisoners as they march through the virtual territories of postcolonial power vectors in an attempt to establish living models of resistance. Lock and load, ladies!” Critical Art Ensemble Table of Contents Introduction: Practicing Cyberfeminisms subRosa & The Editors I....

Next Protocols
Claudia Reiche and Verena Kuni, eds.In the beginning Cyberfeminism: Next Protocols was a call posted on mailing lists by the Old Boys Network, the first international cyberfeminist alliance. Now Cyberfeminism: Next Protocols is a book that presents an introduction as well as an outlook for the large network of contemporary cyberfeminism. Protocols are both scientific records of observations and coded commands for digital and human procedures of communication. next protocols reaches boldly into the utopian gap between the now and its possible futures. If gender is not obsolete, there is a stake in reformulating it under conditions ruled by the dominance of the digital medium and test its capacities to subvert cultural practices. cyberfeminism carries the fem in its center – fem which hints politically at gender and the female sex, yet exceeds, enjoys, and remodels this relation. With approaches coming from art, theory and activism, cyberfeminism. next protocols invents and documents a cyberfeminism which is dedicated to the wilderness of precise critique and experimental thinking ContentsClaudia Reiche “Old Boys Network”...
