<PoeticTerrorism>   Body Attributes (  

Welcome to Poetic Terrorism--a new method of communication. A new vocabulary for resistance. We're opening a new front in the war against soundbytes and corporate catchphrases, because it's impossible to think when your words are controlled by discourse that is manufactured by imperialist corporations and sold to us wholesale in our schools and TVs. Bullshit shoved down our throats by government spokespeople and paid advertising--WE (you) have something to say, SAY IT!

Poetic Terrorism is profoundly nonviolent. It is the resistance of our voices. We are controlled by a submersion tank of manufactured ideas--by the media repeating the talking points of the government.

Poetic terrorism is about bringing the art of resistance into every facet of our lives. Live your life loudly. 'There is no becoming, no revolution, no struggle, no path; already you're the monarch of your own skin--your inviolable freedom waits to be completed only by the love of other monarchs: a politics of dream, urgent as the blueness of sky.'--Hakim Bey

This blog is open to anyone's words and ideas. If you would like to post, email jed.bickman@gmail.com to let me know--I'll give you privileges and then you can post whatever you want.

Peace and Solidarity,

Jed

Narratives must be read as expressions of some ideology, some set of ruling principles of society. This is because texts are unavoidably read as expressions of an author, who is shaped by their culture to whatever extent we can believe in the power of upbringing and experience in the formation of one’s worldview. The narratives that make their way into the shared consciousness of our communities must share the fundamental common sensibilities of those communities. Most of them take for granted these ideologies are true, even if it is just to the extent that they take for true what they know to be true. The most salient question of the conventional critic at this point becomes: How did these authors learn that what is true is true? However, the more interesting question for us here is the implication: how do narratives go about teaching the reader what truth is? How do narratives reproduce the ideologies that control the masses?
