Your thoughts on JOY? 14 Replies

I would love to get different peoples perspectives, thoughts, definitions, words, and/or views on joy. It can be short or long, it doesn't matter. I just want to know what people think about it.

Any comic artists?

I'm not that familiar with this site yet so I could very well be posting out of place... I'm just wondering if any one here is into writing/drawing/reading comics? I know Portland is supposed to be the indie comics capitol of the U.S. and it seems like a number of you are from that area... I'm currently writing a graphic novel that I hope to draw over the next couple years. I'm also doing a daily web comic, (diary style, maybe similar to James Kochalka's American Elf) which is readable at www.ea… Continue

SOMETHING TO PONDER..

‘And no such effective blueprint will ever arise from a theoretical articulation such as ours. It will arise only in practice. At a certain point in his thinking Marx needed the Paris Commune in order to make the leap and conceive communism in concrete terms as an effective alternative to capitalist society. Some such experiment or series of experiments advanced through the genius of collective practice will certainly be necessary today to take that next concrete step and create a new social body beyond empire.’ - from``Empire'', by Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri.
