Starting in 15 minutes!! If you can't make it, we'll be live-tweeting in this thread! We're off! @savannahshange begins by clarifying the difference between revolution and abolition: Revolution seeks to win control of the state and its resources, while abolition wants to quit playing and raze the stadium of settler-slaver society for good

While #anthrotwitter isn't always rosy, we have to ask: what's happening in @AmericanAnthro's Communities listserv? As anthropologists, we can examine peoples' practices and explore their broader meanings; pls add ethnographic data to this thread so we can understand these people

Second screening is happening ow! Alongside an object of observation, "narco-aesthetics [narco estética]" is a critical ethnographic approach to the citizen subjectivities often rendered invisible by journalist and scholarly accounts of drug trafficking.

In 10 minutes on Saturday, Day 3! "Re/Distribute: Three Radical Economists on (Post)Apartheid"

This panel also marks the beginning of the last loop of #Distribute2020!!!

Follow below from some livetweets on this short film by me, @afleisch_anthro!

We're off!
Distribution/re-distribution presupposes something exists that can be appropriated—like an artifact (rather than a commodity).
The thing or commodity or artifact is produced socially but appropriated individually! But there's nothing naturally private about it!
