Many of us have access to more choices than we ever thought imaginable, in fact, it is quite easy to find ourselves amidst an abundance of products, eating foods cultivated across the world, or selecting from a myriad of variations of the same “thing”. But this “abundance” of choice masks ecological depletion, and as we gain access to that which is far from our homes, actual place-based abundance is often jeopardized. This week on the podcast we explore this in context to herring in Southeast Alaska with guest K’asheechtlaa (Louise Brady). Everything from chinook, seals, whales, eagles, halibut, and dolphins, all depend on herring directly or indirectly. In addition to nourishing so much of the Pacific marine ecosystem, these kin are embedded in the culture and spirit of Sheetʼká (Sitka). But as herring have been utilized in pet food, fertilizer, fish meal for aquariums and salmon farms, and marketed as a delicacy abroad - fisheries have been mismanaged by the state of Alaska and overfished to near extinction. K’asheechtlaa is a woman of the Tlingit nation in Sheetʼká Ḵwáan, an island off the coast of Southeast Alaska. She is Raven-Frog or Kiks.ádi Clan, Kiks.ádi women are known as the herring ladies, they have a story or original instruction that connects them spiritually, culturally, and historically to herring. K’asheechtlaa is the founder of the Herring Protectors, a grassroots movement of people that share concerns that the herring population in Sheetʼká Ḵwáan, and the culture tied to it, are under threat.

Have Native communities become a part of the assimilation process? Police, churches and the governing systems implemented on most Native territories have no ties to our traditional forms leadership and conflict resolution. Very few people teach the true history of what happened to the Native population on this continent, and as a result of this knowledge gap, our people have been absorbed into the settler colonial system of oppression.

“A friend of mine in Germany is called Dr. Tofu. He was the first who did tofu on a commercial scale, in the eighties. They arrested him… for cooking something suspicious… He was arrested a couple of times. So, when it started in Nigeria and we opened the first vegan restaurant and there were also no vegetarian restaurants, people were saying, that's crazy. Why do you do that? But I knew kind of that time was on our side. - Hakeem Jimo Hakeem Jimo is the co-founder of Veggie Victory, Nigeria’s first plant-based food tech company. Hakeem and his partner, Bola Adeyanju also founded V Café, Nigeria’s first vegan restaurant in 2013. V Café is in Lagos and serves veganized Nigerian culinary delicacies to vegans, meat eaters and everyone in between. A few years after opening the restaurant, Hakeem and Bola began producing VChunks, a seitan-based meat alternative that was created to pair beautifully with most Nigerian cuisine. VChunks are dehydrated so that they can be kept on shelves for months and do not need refrigeration, which is not an option for many in parts of Nigeria. Hakeem is Nigerian-German, was born and raised in Germany and has lived in West Africa for the past 27 years. Before becoming a vegan food and tech entrepreneur, he worked in journalism and public relations.

There are plenty of warnings about the accuracy of information on publicly-edited online sources like Wikipedia, but those are one of the first places people go to research a topic. The National Museum of the American Indian is hosting a Wikipedia Edit-a-thon. They want to add entries to the public online encyclopedia, specifically on Native women. Organizers maintain entries are often inaccurate, one-sided or missing. We’ll talk about the state of accurate representation and inclusion in online educational and research resources.

Alison McDowell discusses the Fourth Industrial Revolution's (Great Reset) goals of a post-human and transhumanist world. The powers of global financial capital seek to create a mechanized planetary computer using blockchain technologies, digital identities, sensor networks, AI, AR, geofencing, human capital bonds, and so forth to classify, tag, track, tokenize, gamify, and commodify all natural non-synthetic life. Humans have become the minable commodity.

Child As Metaphor: Colonialism, PsyGovernance, and Epistemicide. World Futures, 74(7-8), pp. 503-524, Mills, C. and Lefrancois, B. A. (2018)

"Throughout this article we have demonstrated the ways in which child as metaphor functions to denigrate colonized, psychiatrized and/or intellectually disabled people, as it reproduces these groups and actual children as being irrational, incompetent, unintelligent, animistic, in need of (parental) guidance, (economically) unproductive, and epistemically void.

The use of this metaphor, as we have seen, performs important political agendas inherent to the colonial project, racism, epistemicide, the medicalization of madness and disability, and the subjugating notions of development that unpins each.

All this is accomplished by focusing on and imposing a pejorative Western understanding of childhood that may be neither consistent with Indigenous/non-Western understandings of what constitutes childhood nor consistent with actual children’s abilities.

Regardless, the material and discursive impact on children has been demonstrated to include multi-systemic oppression including the interplay of adultism, colonialism, racism, sanism and dis/ableism, which mutually constitute and complicate each other. This interplay takes place at the level of adult-child relations and the psy governance of childhood itself, within global North-South-Fourth World relations and the racist infantilisation-parentification constructed within them, as well as within sane-mad relations and ableist-‘crip' relations, including the psy and medical domination that governs both.

A transdisciplinary approach has enabled the deconstruction of the co-constitutive metaphors of mad, ‘crip’, child, and colony/savage. This has made visible how the psy-disciplines have been constituted through colonialism and so are always already a colonial practice, and how the psy-disciplines and colonialism (even when seemingly operating apart from one another) use similar tools which are built upon the interlacing metaphors of madness, disability, savagery, and childhood."

"Account 5: A Therapist’s Statement

The following passage by Herman (Trauma and Recovery, 1997) is about women who endured sexualized or other forms of violence in childhood.

[Trauma and Recovery, 1992]
'Almost inevitably, the survivor has great difficulty protecting herself in the context of intimate relationships. Her desperate longing for nurturance and care makes it difficult to establish safe and appropriate boundaries with others. Her tendency to denigrate herself and to idealize those to whom she becomes attracted further clouds her judgment. Her empathic attunement to the wishes of others and her automatic, often unconscious habits of obedience also make her vulnerable to anyone in a position of power or authority. Her dissociative defensive style makes it difficult for her to form conscious and accurate assessments of danger. And her wish to relive the dangerous situation and make it come out right may lead her into re-enactments of the abuse (p.111).'

Herman conceals violence by limiting the mention of violence and minimizing its severity. Only once, in line 10, does Herman directly refer to sexualized violence in this passage. The term “abuse” conveys the unilateral nature of the sexualized violence (see Coates and Wade 2004) but does not convey that the acts were not both unilateral and violent (West and Coates 2004). The term “abuse” means misuse, but misuse does not necessarily entail violence. One person can misuse another in a variety of ways, for example, by demanding that they work long hours. Only a few forms of abuse involve the deliberate administration of force and humiliation by one person against another. Herman’s choice of the word “abuse” serves to minimize the severity of violence suffered by the women whose behaviour she purports to be explaining and trying to help. All other references to violence are so oblique that readers are left to infer its presence.

Herman blames and pathologizes female victims of violence by interpreting their behaviour out of context and proffering a series of psychological inferences that divert attention from the violence to the mind of the victim. The victim is constituted as having “difficulty protecting herself” (line 4), having “clouded judgment” (line 5), habitually and unconsciously obeying authority figures (line 6) and having a “dissociative defensive style” (line 7).

These personal deficiencies are used to explain why the survivor apparently lacks “safe and appropriate boundaries” (line 3), is “vulnerable to anyone in a position of authority” (line 6–7), and cannot accurately assess danger (line 8). Based upon unwarranted psychological inferences, Herman displaces a contextualized analysis of victim’s responses to perpetrators’ acts of violence with a decontextualized account that blames and pathologizes victims."

From Langauge and Violence: Analysis of Four
Discursive Operations (Coates & Wade, 2007)
http://www.solutions-centre.org/pdf/wade_language_and_violence_four_operations.pdf

https://t.me/s/OwlVultureWarrior/845 ••

Also of note in this:

"Further, in highlighting the power of language we want to avoid falling into the kind of 'discourse determinism' that underlies some post-structural, social constructionist, and post-modern thought (e.g., Foucault 1972, 1980).

Discourse determinism is the view that discourse constructs reality, marks the limits of thought (Bourdieu 1977), forms and incarcerates the subject (e.g., Foucault 1972, 1980), and ultimately drives individual conduct (Eagleton 1991).

No less than the many forms of biological, psychological, and social determinism, discourse determinism reduces individual conduct and subjective experience to the status of effects (Ridley and Coates 2003; Wade 1997, 2000).

From this perspective there is little difference between psychoanalysis, biological psychiatry, socio-biology, and social constructivism.

Debates about the real causes or determinants of individual conduct and experience are rather like arguments between competing factions of the same political party; their similarities far outweigh their differences.

The debate itself conceals the deterministic assumptions that are quietly conserved."

"Enactive trauma therapy does not involve a strict protocol or set of protocols. It does not prescribe a fixed set of interventions that can be used in a cookbook fashion. Nor does it provide more or less authoritarian recipes or manuals.

Rather, the goal is to offer and illustrate an approach to trauma therapy which is broadly applicable and which deeply respects and values autonomy of traumatized individuals and their natural capacity for self-organization. In enactive trauma therapy, patients are encountered and conceived of as individuals who wish to enhance their power of action, their power of healing a major injury that has life inflicted and that only they can heal with consistent support and coaching from others.

Inasmuch as they have been traumatized themselves, they have developed and executed the actions required to resolve their injuries and pain sufficiently in order to fulfill this task. As coaches, enactive trauma clinicians do not dictate to the patient what the treatment entails. Instead, they flexibly meet their patients ‘where they are’ at any given point in time. From ‘there,’ they invite and encourage patients to engage in new viable and creative actions. These actions are the ones that their patients desire to develop or improve, that are within their reach, and that constitute steps on the way to recovery – on the path to wholeness."

The Trinity of Trauma: Ignorance, Fragility, and Control, Volume 3 - Enactive Trauma Therapy by Ellert R. S. Nijenhuis

The Trinity of Trauma: Ignorance, Fragility, and Control, Volume 3 - Enactive Trauma Therapy by Ellert R. S. Nijenhuis

' Nijenhuis based this book significantly on Spinoza's ideas... he was basically the only Enlightenment-era philosopher who wasn't splitting reality into parts... he lived as a glassblower outside of academia and in part was figuring out both integrative philosophy and a sort of therapy.

"[This book] was guided by the growing realization how wisely [Spinoza's] Ethics speaks to human confusion, conflicts, and trauma–as well as to a possible liberation from human bondage by passions. The endeavor was also compelled by a growing insight into how several ‘new’ and con- temporary psychological insights, theories, and approaches to treatment strongly appear to be Spinoza’s original thoughts in disguise. Honor to whom honor is due. Enactivism emphasizes that in order to experience and know themselves, other selves, and the material world, individuals must act. They must do something. Enactivism essentially proposes that organisms bring forth a self in action as well as a world and the relationship of this self and this world."

"It is, however, quite common in psychology and psychiatry to regard and treat organisms and the world they experience and know as two separate systems. For example, by assuming that individuals and their environment constitute two systems, many neuroscientists look for normal and abnormal consciousness in the brain. In this sense, trauma means there is something wrong ‘in’ the individual. The Trinity of Trauma, however, rejects the dissociation of organisms and their environment. I understand trauma to be a feature of an organism-environment system."

This parallels the view of epistemics presented in Epistemic Fluency: Innovation, Professional Education, Actionable Knowledge and Knowledgable Action — that most professional education and ways of thinking in modern society are various fragments better conceived of as a both/and holistic epistemics. '

The Trinity of Trauma: Ignorance, Fragility, and Control, Volume 3 - Enactive Trauma Therapy by Ellert R. S. Nijenhuis

"All living systems strive to achieve results that are advantageous to them. This takes power of action. When they achieve a goal, they experience joy and gain more power of action. When they fail to achieve a goal, they experience sorrow and lose power of action.

Enactive trauma therapy, then, is the endeavor to increase traumatized individuals’ power of action that they lost or were unable to develop as the traumatization proceeded.

Enactive trauma therapy is the striving to increase their joy and reduce their sorrow by inviting and encouraging new actions that replace their painful passions."
