Communist University 2006

The Communist University starts again next Friday, January 27th at 17h00, the Women’s Jail, 1 Kotze Street, on Constitution Hill, Johannesburg. Parking is available a short distance away at the Old Fort. As usual we begin with an examination of what we are doing and how we are trying to do it. This time the emphasis is on Augusto Boal, master of the “Theatre of the Oppressed”. The draft programme for the year and the reading for next week’s session are linked below. The reading is a number of short pieces, with the one on Boal at the end. Two items from the Johannesburg business press illustrate the inability of the bourgeois media to completely disguise the truth. Lastly, a link to an all-day Saturday event on Urbanism at Wits University. It looks from the programme as if they could use some good Communist input.
