Yasminers
and in particular Dalila Honorato, Stephen Nowlin and Luca Forcucci
and Gullermo Munoz
Dalila triggered the metaphor of YASMIN PHOENIX for the work we are
starting to have a new different YASMIN rise from the ashes of the
pandemic- let me add that we should think as yasminers as pirates
Immediately it triggered my memory of reading Gary Hall's Pirate
Philosophy https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/pirate-philosophy and his
unpacking the very useful innovation role that pirates played in the
Mediterranean- i have copied this email to him in case he has an
update on how pirate philosophy might be relevant in the post pandemic
digi-indigenous culture that the digi-natives are inventing as we read
the new rituals, customs and behaviours for the post pandemic world
and its increasing virtual reality- and we digital elders stand back
and notice but don't meddle- ok digi-natives take over YASMIN PHOENI
secondly YASMIN moderator Guillermo Munoz co founded the group in
spain called "pirates of science'
https://www.piratasdelaciencia.com/blog/quienes-somos/ so maybe the
pirate metaphor could be helpful as we work on the helping the YASMIN
PHOENIX arise from the ashes with the help of the YASMIN pirates and
phoenicians-- i have copied Guillermo also in case he has some
thoughts too
luca forcucci also suggested: I am all in for the flight, and let's
not forget the Etruscans !
all the best Luca
and stephen nowlin: Roger -- as our nearest star rises seemingly anew
over a political return to some sanity here in the U.S., your news
feels timely and welcomed. Happy to climb aboard the flight of the
YASMIN Phenix!

more on gary hall below:
Gary Hall is a critical theorist and media philosopher working in the
areas of digital culture, politics and technology. He is Professor of
Media at Coventry University, UK, where he directs the Centre for
Postdigital Cultures which brings together media theorists,
practitioners, activists and artists.
He is the author of a number of books, including The Inhumanist
Manifesto (Techne Lab, 2017), Pirate Philosophy (MIT Press, 2016) and
The Uberfication of the University (Minnesota UP, 2016).
How philosophers and theorists can find new models for the creation,
publication, and dissemination of knowledge, challenging the received
ideas of originality, authorship, and the book.
In Pirate Philosophy, Gary Hall considers whether the fight against
the neoliberal corporatization of higher education in fact requires
scholars to transform their own lives and labor. Is there a way for
philosophers and theorists to act not just for or with the
antiausterity and student protestors??graduates without a future??but
in terms of their political struggles? Drawing on such phenomena as
peer-to-peer file sharing and anticopyright/pro-piracy movements, Hall
explores how those in academia can move beyond finding new ways of
thinking about the world to find instead new ways of being theorists
and philosophers in the world.
Hall describes the politics of online sharing, the battles against the
current intellectual property regime, and the actions of Anonymous,
LulzSec, Aaron Swartz, and others, and he explains Creative Commons
and the open access, open source, and free software movements. But in
the heart of the book he considers how, when it comes to scholarly
ways of creating, performing, and sharing knowledge, philosophers and
theorists can challenge not just the neoliberal model of the
entrepreneurial academic but also the traditional humanist model with
its received ideas of proprietorial authorship, the book, originality,
fixity, and the finished object. In other words, can scholars and
students today become something like pirate philosophers?
and the phoenicians:
The Phoenicians came to prominence following the collapse (c. 1150 BC)
of most major cultures during the Late Bronze Age. They were renowned
in antiquity as adept merchants, expert seafarers, and intrepid
explorers.[citation needed] They developed an expansive maritime trade
network that lasted over a millennium, becoming the dominant
commercial power for much of classical antiquity. Phoenician trade
also helped facilitate the exchange of cultures, ideas, and knowledge
between major cradles of civilization such as Greece, Egypt, and
Mesopotamia. After its zenith in the ninth century BC, the Phoenician
civilization in the eastern Mediterranean slowly declined in the face
of foreign influence and conquest, though its presence would remain in
the central and western Mediterranean until the second century BC.
PS words matter: nina czegledy thinks the term 'digi-indigenous' is an
inappropriate appropriation of the values of indigenous cultures
