"In this article, we use the terms victim and perpetrator to refer to individuals’ actions in specific interactions, not as identity terms or as totalizing descriptions. That is, the extent to which an individual can be described as a victim or perpetrator depends entirely on the nature of their
conduct in specific instances. An individual who is a victim of violence in one instance can be a perpetrator of violence in another.

While we reject the use of the terms victim and perpetrator as totalizing, identity terms, we believe it is imperative to maintain this distinction. The word victim refers to a person who has been wrongly harmed. Perpetrators often try to conceal or avoid responsibility for their actions by obscuring the distinction between victim and perpetrator, for instance, by portraying their
unilateral, violent actions as mutual.

The Interactional and Discursive View of Violence
and Resistance

Interaction
1. Violence is social and unilateral: Violent behaviour is both social, in that it occurs in specific interactions comprised of at least two people, and unilateral, in that it entails actions by one individual against the will and well-being of another.

2. Violence is deliberate: The perpetrators of violence anticipate resistance from their victims and take specific steps to suppress and conceal it. Virtually all forms of violence and systems of oppression entail strategies designed specifically for the suppression of overt and covert resistance.

3. Resistance is ubiquitous: Whenever individuals are subjected to violence, they resist. Along side each history of violence, there runs a parallel history of resistance. Victims of violence face the threat of further violence, from mild censure to extreme brutality, for any act of open defiance. Consequently, open defiance is the least common form of resistance (Scott 1990).

Social Discourse
4. Misrepresentation: Misrepresentation is an ever-present feature of asymmetrical power relations (Scott 1990) and personalized violence. In cases of violence, public appearances are often highly misleading and the risk of inadvertent collusion with the offender is high.

5. Fitting words to deeds: There are no impartial accounts. All accounts of violence influence the perception and treatment of victims and offenders. Where there is violence, the question of which words are fitted to which deeds is crucial (Danet 1980, p. 189).

6. Four discursive operations: Language can be used to conceal violence, obscure and mitigate offenders’ responsibility,2 conceal victims’ resistance, and blame and pathologize victims. Alternatively, language can be used to expose violence, clarify offenders’ responsibility, elucidate and honor victims’ resistance, and contest the blaming and pathologizing of victims.
The messages transmitted by @IntuitivePublicRadio and our Intuitive network are single-link reference notes or forwarded items where severely disabled, multiply marginalized colleagues request support for specific community conversations.

Our community admins assist trafficking victims and other Intuitive Invisibles to post the links they would like to share in order to initiate lifesaving public and private conversations, anonymously when needed for safety.

Because of severe disabilities and circumstances of violence, our community members often can only post a small part of what they would like to talk about safely with others.

Many survivors of violence can only be safe to initiate a particular discussion in caring, supportive, inclusive community settings --- spaces we are building and sharing.

Our public links and notes are part of extended private @IntuitiveCommunity knowledgebase materials and collaborative groups where all are invited to participate.

We learn together how to support one another so that courageous conversations and fully inclusive communications regenerate strength and healing in our communities.

Our friends and families today are being victimized by sex trafficking and ritual abuse --- many women, children, elders, and others.

Please hear us and respond with kindness each time a conversation is initiated —- each time a message is broadcast.

Our lives depend on this.

Because there has been a preponderance of bots and bot-behaviors on Telegram, we are revitalizing a practice of requiring introductions from individuals who join our chats. Introductions may be private (message @maxmorris), or part of the group conversation.
If an individual does not introduce themselves within an hour or so of entering a chat, we will remove them from the chat to prevent Telegram bot build-up.
If you would like help with your introduction, have a particular circumstance, or were removed in error, please message @maxmorris (or email max@intuitive.pub) to be in touch.
Thank you for helping us protect and strengthen our caring community infrastructure. 💖

"Charrette - a design workshop for solving real world problems. The term "charrette" is derived from the French word for "little cart." In Paris during the 19th century, professors at the Ecole de Beaux Arts circulated with little carts to collect final drawings and models from their students. Students were said to be working "en charrette", or in the carte, while they tried furiously to put finishing touches on their presentation minutes before the deadline.
As we continue our project By Design ... we look at how designers apply their thinking to solve problems. And how they use charrette workshops to try to transform organizations and communities.
Bill Lennertz is co-author ofThe Charrette Handbook and executive director of the National Charrette Institute... a non-profit organization that trains people how to run charrettes and advance community planning and public involvement.
Zahra Ebrahim is principal and partner of archiTEXT, a design think tank and consultancy. She has worked with dozens of clients and led many charrettes."

"THE TENTH OVERSTANDING
THE SPIRIT OF GRAFFITI ART
1
They call themselves ‘writers’ because that’s what they do: They write their names, among other things, everywhere! Names they’ve been given or have chosen for themselves. Most of all, they write in and on subway trains that carry their names from one end of the city to the other. It’s called bombing, and it has equally assertive counterparts in Rap music and break dancing. Graffiti writing in New York is a vocation. Its traditions are handed down from one youthful generation to the next. To some it’s art; to most people, however, it is a plague that never ends, a symbol that we’ve lost control. (Style Wars, 1983)

Know this: the Overstanding before you is an elementary introduction to the study of Graffiti Art as color and light and how these frequencies affect the psychology of Hiphoppas living in urban areas. As an Overstanding, it teaches spiritual Truths through the language of Graffiti Art. Traditionally, the word Graffiti originated from the Italian term graffito meaning a scratch. According to the American language, Graffiti is defined as a “writing” or “drawing” that is “scribbled,” “scratched” or “sprayed” onto a surface."
