Port Huron at Fifty: The New Left and Labor: An Interview with Kim Moody

by Christopher Phelps

Published in Labor: Studies in Working-Class History of the Americas, Volume 9, Issue 2 (summer 2012): 25-46.

In a wide-ranging discussion on labor and the New Left, Moody explains the different views of labor represented at Port Huron, appraises individual thinkers such as Tom Hayden and C. Wright Mills, and explores topics such as the meaning of participatory democracy, the politics of labor in the 1960s, class relations in the civil rights movement, the SDS economic and research action projects, and the general relationship between organized labor and the New Left.

The Church in Crisis: Catholic Activism and'1968'

It addresses three key aspects of activism. First, how and why did individuals become involved in Catholic activism? Second, what did it signify to be a Catholic activist? And third, how did activists situate their militancy within the wider experience of '1968'? The convergences between this activism and the greater mobilization of the 1960s and 1970s are analysed by focusing on commonalities of language, participatory formats, engagement with the working class and with the marginalized sectors of society, and the impact of global issues such as the Vietnam War.

La première aborde trois films québécois récents (Maman est chez le coiffeur, C’est pas moi, je le jure! et Un été sans point ni coup sûr) se déroulant à la fin des années 1960. Bien que ces trois films soient racontés du point de vue des enfants et que les femmes ne soient pas les protagonistes de ces films, j’aborderai les trois récits du point de vue de ces personnages de femmes, faisant d’elles moins les objets, mais plutôt les sujets de ces films. Seront relevés les commentaires sur ces personnages, retrouvés dans la presse spécialisée québécoise dans les revues 24 images, Séquences et CinéBulles, afin de constater de quelles façons la réalisatrice et les réalisateurs, les interviewers et les critiques de cinéma qualifient ces personnages de femmes. En deuxième partie, sera abordée la voix féminine proprement dite dans le film Maman est chez le coiffeur, à la lumière des écrits de Michel Chion et de Kaja Silverman sur la voix féminine au cinéma.

On the Cover of the Rolling Stone: Toward a Theory of Cultural Therapy

A culture's representations may provide the best map for those who are interested in studying its blind spots. The metaphor of the therapist is peculiarly suitable. A therapist notes his patient's delusions, but does not participate in them, will not be drawn into the conversation on the patient's terms. The mental health care worker who operates on the level of societies rather than individuals might properly be called a "cultural therapist."

"Breaking Out of One's Head (& Awakening to the World)"

by Gregory Nixon

In JCER 2(7): Focus Issue on Self-Transcendent Experiences: Narrative & Analysis

Herein, I review the moment in my life when I awoke from the dream of self to find being as part of the living world.... more Herein, I review the moment in my life when I awoke from the dream of self to find being as part of the living world. It was a sudden, momentous event that is difficult to explain since transcending the self ultimately requires transcending the language structures of which the self consists. Since awakening to the world took place beyond the enclosure of self-speech, it also took place outside our symbolic construction of time. It is strange to place this event and its aftermath as happening long ago in my lifetime, for it is forever present; it surrounds me all the time just as the world seems to do. This fact puts into question the reality of my daily journey from dawn to dusk with all the mundane tasks I must complete (like writing of that which cannot be captured in writing). My linear march to aging and death inexorably continues, yet it seems somehow unreal, the biggest joke of all. Still, I here review the events leading up to my time out of mind and then review the serious repercussions when I was drawn back into the ego-self only to find I did not have the conceptual tools or the maturity to understand what had happened.
