“In a nutshell, “the well bore structure is compromised ‘down hole’,” we read, meaning that no surface capping will ever, at this point, work. The well is leaking in too many places, and the seabed itself is now beginning to show signs of collapse. Indeed, the comment immediately following suggests that “a massive collapse of the Gulf floor itself is in the...

abbyjean:
People who come to the U.S. seeking asylum from persecution are struggling while their cases stall in the backlogged dockets of the nation’s immigration courts. As a result of heightened immigration enforcement in the past several years, the courts have shifted their resources to deal with people in immigration detention facilities. Combined with a shortage in judges, that has...

The Methlab of Democracy: More on the... →

pro/visions collective: journal/magazine →
pro/visions is a new magazine/journal (double blind peer-reviewed) that seeks to push critical theory beyond the academy and into the streets. Therefore the content will reflect rigorous (and playful) thought but use language that is accessible to anyone. We seek to create a space for theory to meet praxis (and the ivory tower, the people/s). Think Gramsci’s “organic intellectual” meets...
