A podcast about the world Amazon is building and the writers, workers and communities fighting for different futures

The Workers' Speculative Society

Tech House Mix

How has writing been part of the coming-to-consciousness of the working class and our ability to imagine and fight for different futures? We speak with Jamie Woodcock, senior lecturer of management at the University of Essex about the history of Workers' Inquiry, a method where intellectuals and workers collaborate to learn about the changing nature of capitalism and his own project, Notes From Below, which supports workers to write about their experiences. We also discuss his initiative Red Futures, a magazine of Marxist and radical science fiction.

Workers' Writing as Revolutionary Praxis - Jamie Woodcock on Workers' Inquiry and SF (WSS09)

Since 2011, the poet Mark Nowak has been facilitating rank-and-file workers' writing through the Workers Writers School. In collaboration with PEN, trade unions and other organizations, the WSS's workshops "create a space for participants to re-imagine their working lives, nurture new literary voices directly from the global working class, and produce new tactics and imagine new futures for working class social change." On this episode, Mark joins us along with long-time participant Lorraine Garnett, who reads several of her poems and discusses the School's impact on her life.

Poetry By and For Workers - The Worker Writers School (WSS010)

Heike Geissler is a prominent German novelist and writer who lives and works in Leipzig, once a major city in communist  former "East Germany." Today, it is a major logistics hub for Amazon and site of the "reunified" country's first strike against the American corporation in 2013.

In her 2014 memoir Saisonarbeit (published in English in 2018 as Seasonal Associate), Geissler meditates on the months she spent working at an Amazon fulfillment centre in 2010 and what it tells us about work under capitalism today.

Extrapolation, Speculation, Fabulation - Steven Shaviro on the work of science fiction (WSS013)

In the thick of the pandemic, Montreal-based writer and organizer Mostafa Henaway worked at an Amazon fulfillment centre to learn how "essential" workers were made disposable in the name of corporate profits. In this episode, he shares stories and critical reflections on the sci-fi nature of Amazon's brand of capitalism, and the implications for workers' organizing and resistance. He concludes with vital thoughts on how this is connected to a broader story of imperialism that also encompasses the ongoing nightmare in Gaza.

Mostafa Henaway, a Canadian-born Egyptian, is a long-time community organizer at the Immigrant Workers Centre in Montreal, where he has been organizing for justice for immigrant/migrant workers for over two decades. He is also a researcher and PhD candidate at Concordia University. His book Essential Work, Disposable Workers: Migration, Capitalism and Class was published in 2023.

Alright, buckle up, crew! It's Therian Shifter, and we're diving into "The Bomber Mix." 

Imagine this: you hit play, and a surge of anticipation kicks in. The beats start to pulse, and there's this electric charge in the air. It's not just about the tracks; it's about that raw, unfiltered emotion that grabs you by the soul.

As the bass kicks in, there's this sense of liberation, like you're breaking free from the ordinary. The soundscapes weave a narrative that transcends words. It's a journey through highs and lows, an emotional rollercoaster that resonates in the core of your being.

There's a moment when the beats align, and it feels like time stands still. It's not just music; it's a visceral experience that taps into something primal. The mix becomes a canvas, and each beat is a stroke of emotion, painting a picture that only the heart can truly understand.

So, here's the deal: "The Bomber Mix" is not just an auditory experience; it's a journey through the depths of emotion. I'm not just your DJ; I'm your guide through a landscape of feels. Therian Shifter signing off — let the emotions run wild. 🚀🔥
