Many thanks to Nat Pimlot for facilitating the excellent discussion on Jacques Derrida’s Signature Event Context and to everyone who came along and shared their stories on the Deptford Art & Gentrification Walk in May. Many thanks to the venues for welcoming us and to everyone who met us along the way for their contributions, please see the photo album on Facebook for more details.

Thanks to all the participants who came along and contributed to the book club on Mark Fisher’s Capitalist Realism in June, with a very special thanks to Anastasia Freygang for hosting us on Unison.

The book club is having a break in July and August but you’re invited to a meeting on 13 July 2018, where we will discuss the future of the book club and nominate a new coordinator. Please come along if you’d like to help run the book club and keep it going.

On 20 July 2018 we’re participating in the School of Civic Action at Tate Modern, this event is part of an assembly on the commons organised by Public Works and Commons Rising.

In May we’re discussing Signature Event Context, Jacques Derrida’s essay on John Austin’s speech act theory. It was originally delivered at a conference on Communication in 1971 by the Congrès international des Sociétés de philosophie de langue francaise in Montreal and first published in Marges de la philosophie (Margins of Philosophy) in 1972.

Thanks to everyone who came along to the first in the series of book clubs on Mark Fisher’s Capitalist Realism. It was a real pleasure to meet so many people with diverse perspectives and common interests. We will continue with chapters 4 & 5 in May 2018.

In April we’re discussing Structure, sign and play in the discourse of the human sciences, Jacques Derrida’s inaugural paper on deconstruction presented at Johns Hopkins University in 1966. If you would like to propose a text and facilitate the book club please visit the website for more info and to download the infosheet.

Our first independent Critical Theory in Contemporary Art Practice course is fully booked but we’re organising another edition of the course on the basis of a labour exchange, giving those who cannot afford the fees the opportunity to participate. This will also be a great opportunity for those who are interested in working together to develop an alternative model of free and sustainable education. For more information, to join the team and get involved please visit the proposal page on Openki.net.
