The Tyranny of Structurelessness - Jo Freeman (1970-73)

Annotate: https://pad.xpub.nl/p/TyrannyAnnotation

THE TYRANNY of STRUCTURELESSNESS (1970-73) is an article by Jo Freeman aka Joreen. The discussion of structureless in this article is based on the 'organizational form of the movement'. According to the text, "Structurelessness" is a natural response to an overly structured society, however it is organizationally impossible. Not only we can not decide whether to have a formally structured group, but also whether to have one that is structured or not. A structureless group does not exist, despite our desire to think otherwise. Any kind of group of people will eventually organize itself in some way if they come together for any kind of purpose.

The word structure is derived from the Latin structura, which means "a fitting together, building.". In a broader sense its anything put together. The relationships between family members make up a family's structure, and the way your muscles and bones fit together might be considered your body's structure.

It's a challenge to paraphrase something that doesn't seem to work nor make 'sense' because the idea of having no structure is more a theoretical ideology than it is something practical to realize (?), which makes it difficult to realize, because there will be a structure based on that there isn't a structure. So then a counter-structure (alternative) makes more sense than having no structure at all(!?!)

However, contrary to the concept, it has gone from being a concept to a tool for the elite to grab power.

Special Issue🥀

what do we take out of an archive, in order to de-clutter it and make more space for other things?

How can we connect with the specific situation of Radio Worm, as a community and as an archive?

How to work with specific questions and protocols that have emerged within this context?

⭑Destroy Protocool ⊹ Radio show

❥ October 10th 10:00~12:00 AM, which is also the Taiwan national day!

꧁ Proto酷(cool) ꧂

❥ Shownotes

❥ Brainstorming

Do we need a theme?"Destroy the protocool"?
it could be a great starting point, we can start trying to understand how to deconstruct protocols, 
why we have (or some have) this urge to destroy them, and then let everyone understand how it is impossible (utopia) to do it.

⊹Protocol Meditation:

(⊹Tibetan Singing Bowl Music⊹)

⊹Intro:

Okay.....We are slowing into the Protocol meditation practice now...... Before the beginning of meditation , please find a comfortable posture that will help keep your spine straight, either seated or lying down, wherever is comfortable.

⊹

Next, notice where you place your hands. If seated, support them in your lap or by placing them gently palms down on your knees. If lying down, place them by your side in the yoga corpse pose.

Now, breathe naturally as we shall begin the meditation. Inhale...........exhale........... Imagine a dearly loved protocol sitting opposite you and that a white light connects you heart to heart. Connect with the feelings of affection and warmth you have for them. Enjoy the feelings as they fill your body.

⊹

Ask yourself, "What's the meaning of protocols for you?" "What's the relationship between you and it?"

Acknowledge your thoughts and focus again on your breathing….. Interruptions are normal….just let these thoughts go and return your attention to your breathing….

Enjoy the feeling of relaxation. Notice how you are feeling now, physically and mentally, and notice how it feels to be more relaxed. Inhale...........exhale...........

⊹

Now, let your attention turn now to your thoughts… back to normal conscious awareness…. Normal attention to thoughts…. Breathe naturally…. And slowly open your eyes.

We hope you have a wonderful also peaceful time during the practice, and we would like you to share your thoughts after this therapeutic protocols meditation....and.....remember that...... Protocols will always love you~♥︎

Talking about "collaboration" work and experiences.

Metaphors could be an excellent way to engage the audience and make our presentation interesting.

The difficulty of collaboration...

How to invited each other into your project/code?

What seeds do you want to water?

⊹Michel: Visualize / visual poetry (of a radio show and archives), desire more DIY things, translation to physical forms. fabric / clothing, maybe a wearable radio ? Combined different materials, making physical hybrid objects.

Collective_guidelines

• Collaborative: moving towards a more unified outcome

• Distributive: sharing of methods, people are free to produce individual outcomes

Methods🥀

Negotiate collaborations

• Discuss how to collaborate practices with others, sharing the best/worst experiences, personal preferences and feelings about it. Also talk about the difficulties of collaborations in a large group.

• How to distribute different tasks to people. Is it possible we could all focus on one project? Difference between collaborative and distributed practices.

(a) collaborative: moving towards a more unified outcome

(b) distributive: sharing of methods, people are free to produce individual outcomes

• Small group collaboration practice in Radio Worm. Learn how to do the team work and make an experimental radio show.

• Zine camp group distribution: Zine/ Radio/ Presentation/ Marketing/ Retails team

Mode of address (from Oxford Reference) - "In any act of communication, the relationship between addresser and addressee, which can be inferred from explicit and implicit cues. In relation to texts, the way in which aspects of the style, structure, and/or content function to position readers as subjects (ideal readers) (e.g. in relation to class, age, gender, and ethnicity). Aspects of this include degrees of directness (see direct address; indirect address) and of formality, narrative point of view, and the markedness of one form of address compared with another."

Mode of address establishes your relationship to the audience.

• What?

- what materials have you produced so far?

- what activities have you organized?

• How?

- how were these materials produced?

• Why?

- why these materials?

- which references informed your practice?
