Prefigurative Information Politics – Strategies for Survival, Resilience, and Liberation – An FSU talk with Dr. Amelia Gibson

Prefigurative Information Politics – Strategies for Survival, Resilience, and Liberation – Not THAT sounds complicated, when I first saw the title, I was like ‘”Whoa!” But the note that Dr. Amelia Gibson made, that we find ourselves being in a unique space- criticizing institutions we are a part of, and grappling with our own complicity – the struggles – personally, socially, and as a community that have surfaced are real. It also was well noted that these struggles were always there, just brought to light more of late. That was pretty powerful to realize, and usually would not come up in conversation unless you, me, everyone made time to just sit and discuss and consider, like we all used to be able to do in graduate school.

I was taken back to the controversy at Chapel Hill with “Silent Sam” as Dr. Gibson referenced the conflicts and decisions that were made over that marker of so many things beyond the physical statue. The topics of medical eugenics, and the issue of marginalization, totally different than the issue of poverty was am examination well worth the mention.
