Part II: Masks, Exits, and Wounds
Unit 5: Partnership, Ownership, Exit, and Loyalty
Monday September 21 and Wednesday September 23
When is "no" a betrayal, and when is it the form commitment must take to remain honest?
Orientation
A refusal can be a betrayal or the only honest form a commitment can take. This week we learn to tell the difference using exit, voice, and loyalty. After partnership, who gets to tell the story remains part of the question.
What this Unit teaches
- co-authorship and the myth of singular genius
- partner versus product
- authority to name collaborative work
- boundary versus barricade
- commitment over category
- keeping it real as integrity and as coercive demand
- Hirschman's exit, voice, and loyalty
- commodity pressure
- documented event versus public myth
The rest of this Unit unlocks when you enroll.
The orientation above stays open. The Monday and Wednesday work, the readings, the Labs, and the deliverable unlock with an account, an active Studio subscription, and your course access code.
