OOPS! DID SOMETHING GO WRONG? by Karolina Kucia

OOPS! DID SOMETHING GO WRONG? Yes, Horribly wrong ... But when? This workshop deals with “monstrous” within cooperation. It is organised as an online “comic book” storyline including bits of co-writing, bits of collective performance and a bit of discussion. The workshop begins with stories of hypocrisies, inadequacies and unease experienced within organizational settings and proceeds through the monstrous altering of those narratives. The characters of Vagina Dentata, Ass-Theth, M/Outhor, Zombie, Cannibal, and Bug are introduced into the plot. These monstrous roles are based on myths, pieces of fiction and academic writing from the field of organizational theory. They either represent the monstrous existing within organizational structures or the monstrous that is/was historically cast away from the social organizations as unsuitable, unproductive or unmanageable. The set of writing sessions opens up into a performative presentation/collective reading and finally into a discussion between monstrous positions and participants.

... now. Sit down, in a figure od speech.

Make yourself comfortable for writing.

Keep in mind this particular situation of cooperation or shared production of knowledge that didn’t work out or even turned into a sort of a bad situation or something somewhat different to what was wished for… that didn't work...

Could you decribe it? What was the place? What circumstances? What was the problem?

When did it turned into a sort of a bad situation for you or horrible one or just into somewhat different to what was wished for…?

there is 10 min time for this writing

what would be the worst possible situation ever, when people come together, share, discuss and it does not work?

If you don’t have any memory of such, just fantasize:..

If you wish to do it in private, please, scrible one your own.

If you want to co-write with others, you can do it here....

After 10 min of writing, please come back and go here
