Ways of publishing #3
Saturday 19th June, 3pm-7pm
3 to 5pm. "The end and its means". Workshop-tournament around Guy Debord’s Game of War, by Emmanuel Guy, author of Le jeu de la guerre de Guy Debord, L’émancipation comme projet, Éditions B42 (2020)

Emmanuel Guy, Le jeu de la guerre de Guy Debord, L’émancipation comme projet, Paris, Éditions B42, 2020

In the 1950s, filmmaker, poet, theorist and revolutionary Guy Debord (1931-1994) imagined the Game of War, a board game which consisted of a gridded board and various pieces representing the different units of an army. He played the game throughout his life and considered it as a tool of strategic emancipation – to be played by those looking for means to struggle against organised passivity. 
This workshop, open to all, is an introduction to the Game of War  through making and practice. 

Emmanuel Guy is an art and design historian and a professor. He’s also a member of the production and exhibition collective Treize (Paris) and a militant for the rights of migrant people with BAAM (Bureau d’accueil et d’accompagnement des migrant·e·s). 

6 to 7pm. Conflict is not abuse. Interview and debate between Sarah Schulman (online) and translators Julia Burtin Zortea and Joséphine Gross

This conversation will be an opportunity for the author to explain the distinction between conflict and aggression, and will offer an insight into the contemporary and historical dynamics that consider intimate, racial and geopolitical differences as triggers of a path leading to injustice, exclusion and repression.
