antipopper

Last night we had dinner with Sean Scalmer, whom I hadn’t seen for years. His current book project, which documents activists’ personal reflections on their involvement in social movments, put me back in touch with the more visceral feelings that come with radical encounters — feelings I usually sublimate in theoretical terms. And so in an email exchange about more abstract apsects of the Woomera 2002 event with John Hutnyk, I decided to disclose more about my experience there in a document called “Remembering Woomera” (I’ve added it to the “PAPERS” section of the site).

(Crap, it’s three hours later and I’ve realised that my Word>HTML filter skipped every second paragraph of the document. It’s now correct, in hand-coded glory.)
