PDS Seminar: pt. 1 a few utopia pt. 2 technology is not solid

*i'm not a coder, not good at codes :) expect typos, wrong links, and unavailable pdfs, etc. Also, the class took a dip into affect theory, so what is listed on the syllabi differs from what is here. Enjoy!?




The here and now is a prison house. We must strive in the face of the here and nows totalizing rendering of reality, to think and feel a? then and there?. Some will say all we have are the pleasures of this moment, but we must never settle for that minimal transport. we must dream and enact new and better pleasures, other ways of being in the world, and ultimately new worlds —?Jose Esteban Muñoz
