]]> Comment on Presupposing Salmon: Ready DUO Players? by A Temporal Turn? | Reflexivity http://www.reflexivity.us/wp/2012/05/presupposing-salmon-ready-duo-players/comment-page-1/#comment-79999 A Temporal Turn? | Reflexivity Wed, 16 May 2012 12:43:42 +0000 http://www.reflexivity.us/wp/?p=16997#comment-79999 [...] There is less confusion (it seems) about the other key term in the title of our conference: occupation. I did not think of “occupation” as a synonym for “career” during Sophia Mihic’s keynote presentation on the near history of neoliberalism. Now, afterwards, this strikes me as odd, since her argument about the term “human capital” relies on the difference between “labor” and “work.” I suspect this is an instance of collective repression – a de-selection of one possible meaning in favor of another, and then forgetting having made thechoice. Sophia’s thoughtful presentation and critical engagement throughout the conference helps me wonder: are DUO conference participants in the process of producing a work of critical art? Or are these conferences solely labor – the repetition of rituals that must be performed in order to satisfy and maintain professional credentials? Could we somehow manage to do both? [...] [...] There is less confusion (it seems) about the other key term in the title of our conference: occupation.

El-Hussari Mon, 14 May 2012 18:12:17 +0000 http://www.reflexivity.us/wp/?p=16997#comment-79689 Your suggestion that we keep conversation moving sounds nice but impractical. We need to form a Global Dialogue Organization whose members are not only the academic body at the university level but also a body of activists who support the cause of peace against occupation. Ready to join this organization and support its statement of mission in practical terms, I hereby call all the DUO participants in the past six conferences and activists for peace to keep in touch through the social media and have a monthly one-day "Occupy U.N. offices" all over the world. By doing this, we are not jumping into the lime light for no reason; we are pressuring the U.N. to take a position and implement all the Security Councuil resolutions calling for a pull-out of occupation forces from all occupied territoriers in the world. We all agree that occupation is evil, and we have been showing this in research over years, but we need to translate our findings into a bundle of fists knocking loud enough on the doors of the "Int'l Community" to wake up and act in the interest of global peace.

Something's wrong here! J. Chris Pires posted a comment asking where this is going. It is an excellent question, and I had begun an answer but lost the link that I wanted to show and have not gotten back to recreating it yet. Maybe I better get busy! Meanwhile, Britt posted the link to the official report on "The Promise and Perils of Transformative Research" - it's a downloadable pdf: http://csid.unt.edu/files/TRW_FinalReport.pdf (I am pretty sure the report is awesome.)
