==== 6:20pm - late - Reading group 'Translating into English' from 'An Aesthetic Education in the Era of GolbalisationGlobalisation' - Gayatri Spivak ====

==== 10am – 12pm WAGE COMMONING ====A group discussion and shared reading list around wage commoning. At Frontyard, we’ve been loosely talking about setting up a workers co-operative. Most often co-ops are based on a ‘profit share’ methodology, but that places it inside the capitalist model, in that it determines that one of the things to be produced is ‘profit’. Let’s decide and talk together about an alternative model of ‘wage commoning’, where wages are pooled and redistributed, without requiring the necessary production of ‘surplus’. Some starting thoughts: It is through (re)production in common that communities of producers decide for themselves the norms, values and measures of things. The “working class” is divided in a wage hierarchy and no ideological call for unity will ever bring the different segments to work together in the direction of a radical transformation of their production in common beyond capital, and therefore beyond their hierarchy. Help me start a reading list in the lead-up to this session. (link to be added to a Google Doc). Organised by Connie Anthes. '''Morning, Afternoon, Evening Sessions:''' Open to proposal

==== 2pm - 6pm Introduction Alternatives, Maybes, A Peer to PeerWeb Workshop with Benjamin Forster ====This workshop will be a practical introduction to Beaker Browser. Beaker Browser is a new web browser for the peer to peer (P2P) web - think Chrome or Safari but for the P2P web. Are you asking yourself, "What is the P2P web"? This workshop will answer that question -but maybe its an escape from the capitalist fuck trap which is google/amazon/facebook. This workshop is for anyone interested in publishing on the web (including writers, visual artists, musicians, sound artists, bloggers, or anyone on social media). Bring along your computer. You will learn how to install and use Beaker Browser to create and share content. Together we will build a small temporary P2P network at FY, sharing content between ourselves in constellations. We will also learn how toconnect our private networks, with each other and the mainstream internet. Spaces limited. RSVP to benjamin@emptybook.net == Summer School Left Overs == ==== Thurs 6th Dec, 6-Peer Sharing 8pm: WAGE COMMONING ====More information coming soonA group discussion and shared reading list around wage commoning. At Frontyard, we’ve been loosely talking about setting up a workers co-operative.
