The role of joy, in particular in the way you describe it, is often absent – though not entirely – from our conversations and constructions in the northern part of the Americas and Europe. It all resonates deeply with things I have been thinking, witnessing, fearing and dreaming. Marina Sitrin (MS): I am so excited for this project. As time went on in the researching, interviewing and writing of the book our ideas and articulations shifted and for that, we are deeply indebted to all our interviewees who offered new insights and shed light on areas that needed reworking.Ĭarla & Nick (c&N): Based on what we’ve told you about the book project, can you tell us what resonates and what doesn’t? ![]() This interview was completed in early 2016 as part of the research for Joyful Militancy. We (carla and Nick) sent Marina Sitrin a ‘preamble’ outlining some of the ideas behind the book, and then included a couple questions based on Sitrin’s other writings (especially Horizontalidad - published in English as Horizontalism- and Everyday Revolutions). This is part of a series of about the project. Joyful Militancy by carla bergman and Nick Montgomery foregrounds forms of life in the cracks of Empire, revealing the ways that fierceness, tenderness, curiosity, and commitment can be intertwined. ![]()
