Program 1
PROGRAM ANNOUNCEMENT
TALK AMERICA ….. (on/about) AMERICA TALKING
Binghamton University campus radio station
WHRW Public Affairs dept presentation
GUEST crank and Talk Show host – Sid Thomas
DOING PSYCHOHISTORY OF THE PRESENT
-Unhurried: got a full hour TIME: 4 – 5:00 pm Fridays (tentative)
-interactive: if *you* want to call in
-documented: from print, TV, artefacta
…and collected together into a single, continuous, story-line of events making up the epic narrative of our time. The Semester through Sign-Uses, I call it. What we are living as told in pictures and words -- the topic as well as content of discussion. All coherent viewpoints invited.
Format ; chief aim – to achieve a dynamic aesthetic/emotive resonance with the contemporary situation, mixing: the university’s larger outreach mission in informing the public; the need of the campus community for a connected supra-academic department narrative spontaneously grammatized in the common argot – so people will know such a thing is going on, if for no other reason. It hasn’t been, up to now. Enriched associations to what is happening in broad terms enriches synchronicity in TokenSpace*. (*the space “we” are given for communication = background of aesthetic as well as conceptual resonance.)
Open with Music -- mood/theme
Ex. for Program 1. Open with “Muddy Water Rising” (Nick Cave and The Bad seeds, Kicking Against the Pricks) … Talk: Water, as a token.
Proceed with acknowledgments;
-Introduce documents of items for the week’s discussion
Segment I. – first 20+ minutes --- exposition-oriented remarks on what the docs are saying.
(then) Music interlude -- To break one mood and set another; followed by:
Segment 2. –second 20+ minutes --- more interactive-questioning-improvised. Readings, perhaps. Call-ins normally accepted anytime, second segment preferred.
Closing Music ---
