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.

“We are all not really needed here. “We are like vampires: “more alive than we should be.“

(Nina Auerbach, 1995 about vampires).

“We are too much already and not yet” (A. Mittman).

It is time for ...

We are now in a place of excess.
