Part III: Integrity in Public
Unit 8: Beyond the Antagonist
Monday October 12 and Wednesday October 14
Can conviction survive without requiring an enemy?
Orientation
Some convictions need an enemy to stay upright. This week we ask whether a conviction can stand without one, and we practice writing the people we disagree with as fully as ourselves.
What this Unit teaches
- pacing and consolidation
- religious codependency
- refusal as health
- self-image and compelled participation
- photograph versus proof
- conviction without relational closure
- critique without diagnosis
- boundary as window rather than barricade
- writing the other with integrity
- Du Bois vocabulary for historically bounded reading of naming and double consciousness where the conversation requires it
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.
