Shamate: Exploitation and Self-Expression of China's Young Factory workers. (Telling the Story of China’s Most Hated Subculture)

radii.co

*Documentary **“We Were Smart”** sheds light on the shunned subculture shamate and China’s urban-rural gulf* ------ “Shamate don’t understand the world, nor does the outside world understand shamate,” says director Li Yifan of the subject of his new documentary, a wildly controversial subculture that emerged in China in the late ’00s. His film, We Were Smart (杀马特, 我爱你), gives a rare look into the life and struggles of this group of marginalized, often poor rural youths through their own accounts. It has helped reopen old wounds and spark conversations around class and conformity, over a decade on from the vicious takedown that marked the end of the shamate movement. Focused largely around rural migrant workers who’d travelled to China’s cities to get in on, and help power, the country’s economic boom, shamate was largely identified by its outlandish fashion sense, makeup and hairstyles. Spreading through dedicated online forums, the subculture’s name came from the Chinese transliteration for the word “smart” — “sha-ma-te.” Li spent two years collecting 915 first-hand video recordings from former shamate members, as well as conducting full-length interviews with 78 of them. According to the director, almost all shamate participants were second-generation migrant kids who were born in the ’90s and hailed from underserved villages and towns. In the documentary, one trend that emerges is that many of these young people were “left-behind children,” kids whose parents had taken jobs in major urban areas, leaving their offspring with grandparents at home in the village. Many talk of only seeing their parents on occasion, such as during the national Spring Festival holiday. Many of the interviewees also relay how they dropped out of school at a very early age and went to look for work themselves, often heading to manufacturing hubs on the basis of a vague lead or tip from a fellow villager. Once there, the young migrant workers found themselves in unfamiliar surroundings and often in intense, exploitative working arrangements. In search of an outlet for pent-up tensions and a sense of belonging, they formed their own identity: shamate. Public parks and roller rinks near these manufacturing hubs quickly became shamate strongholds. Groups of young people would gather in tight T-shirts and low-waist jeans, sporting hairstyles with varying levels of flamboyant colors and electric curls sticking out at different angles. Looking like a mix of elements from US or European glam rock and visual kei from Japan, shamate style was intended to stand out — and it certainly did that. But this also made them a target for the mainstream.

Consensus and group facilitation

Consensus is a decision-making process that removes hierarchy and ensures that no minority is dismissed or not heard in the final decision. Everyone must hear what others have to say. In this process, you not only make a decision, you also learn about the ideas, concerns and reservations of everyone involved. However, this is a longer process than just voting, and it can really slow down or stop the decision making. It works best in small gatherings and with people who know each other. For larger gatherings, other forms of group facilitation can be implemented before trying to reach consensus. This page seems to summarize a lot of things about it : https://neighborhoodanarchists.org/facilitation ​ ### Here's a bunch of questions for you : * In which situations do you find consensus least suitable ? * What are your tips, and best/worst experiences ? * How often do you use hand signals in assemblies ? Are there new signs replacing older ones ? * Good documentation anyone should read ? ​

People who visited different countries, what good organizational practices have you found in anarchists collectives that you lack ?

I'll start : some years ago I visited a city where anarchists were trying to solve conflicts between residents (squat building) by calling on outside people. These people were political allies, but they were not friends with the social circle involved in arguments, they were from another city, and they had trained themselves to psychology and this kind of situations. This was really impressive to me, that people were actually smart enough to try to solve their inner problems by calling on people who are not involved emotionaly and are competent in their field/skills.

I'm trying to license under CC0 some parts of my novel, which is under CC BY-SA. Am I doing it right ?

As part of a project to create a library of libre literary artifacts and narrative schemes, I'm choosing to waive my rights over little parts of my CC BY-SA writings. To me it makes no sense to claim rights on inventions that may be too common to be strictly mine. But I want to open my inventions as libre culture, or libre lore. So inside the chapters of this novel I am writing, there are ideas of plots, names, objects, phenomena, specific stories of the characters, and I want these little parts of my work to be public domain, even though the whole writings will probably stay CC BY-SA. For instance, I wrote about a memory enhancement sleep chamber. Here is the form I created on Internet Archive : https://archive.org/details/caisson-de-sommeil-amplification-des-souvenirs-memory-enhancement-sleep-chamber/ Also : * Here the [Lemmy post (Libre Lore sub)](https://lemmy.ml/post/371340) about it. * [The original work from which it comes from](http://troisecoles.noblogs.org/) (it is in french language) ​ **Does it look OK to you, or are there confusing aspects ?**

# Caisson de sommeil à amplification des souvenirs. # [EN] Memory enhancement sleep chamber. ​ ------- [**FRANÇAIS**] (*english below*) ## Auteur : Wilem Ortiz ## Description : Un **caisson de sommeil à amplification des souvenirs** est un coffre matelassé dans lequel une personne peut s'allonger pour dormir. Équipé de capteurs physiologiques, et d'un dispositif neural externe (ne nécessitant pas d'implant dans le cerveau), le caisson est capable de réguler et d'agir sur le sommeil, ainsi que d'amplifier les souvenirs, permettant de les revivre plus intensément. ## Licence : [CC0 - Domaine public](https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/) ​ ## Extrait de l’œuvre [FR] * **Auteur** : Wilem Ortiz * **Titre** : [Trois écoles](https://troisecoles.noblogs.org) (chapitre 1) * **Licence** : [CC BY-SA]( https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/) * **Sources** : [Internet Archive](https://archive.org/details/trois-ecoles-chapitre-1-wilem-ortiz) - [site web de l'auteur](https://troisecoles.noblogs.org) « Le caisson s'ouvre. Lentement il avale son propriétaire dans une douce lueur de lin familière qui peut effacer les regrets. O.G. s'équipe des capteurs cousus dans des manches en tissu léger comme la plume. Il s'allonge sur le dos, les bras le long du ventre, dans cette position optimale où les organes ne sont pas compressés par le poids du corps. Avant de se laisser aller aux artifices programmables il se force à réguler sa respiration, les yeux fermés, inspirant et expirant calmement à intervalles de cinq secondes, qu’il compte dans sa tête, plusieurs fois de suite. Quand ses pensées se sont un peu détachées, il hésite d’abord à enclencher le dispositif d’amplification des souvenirs, mais cède finalement et se retrouve bientôt en plein jour au bout d'un chemin de terre qui s'arrête à la lisière du champ auquel il tourne le dos. » ​ ## Archive : https://archive.org/details/caisson-de-sommeil-amplification-des-souvenirs-memory-enhancement-sleep-chamber ​ ------ [**ENGLISH**] ## Author : Wilem Ortiz ## Description : A **memory enhancement sleep chamber** is a padded box in which a person can lie down and sleep.

# Orbe symbiotique # [EN] Symbiotic Orb ​ ------- [**FRANÇAIS**] (*english below*) ## Auteur : Wilem Ortiz ## Description : **L'orbe symbiotique** est une sorte d'œuf tombé de l'espace qui contient une unique créature extraterrestre. La composition organique inconnue de l'orbe lui permet de résister à des conditions extrêmes dans l'espace ou l'atmosphère, mais le corps qu'elle contient n'est d'abord qu'une structure décharnée. Lorsque l'enveloppe de l'orbe entre en contact avec notre atmosphère, une chaîne de réactions chimiques provoque l'agglomération de matière sur la structure humanoïde, pendant plusieurs jours. À la fin du processus, dans l'œuf qui a comme fondu, le corps humanoïde doit percer ce qui reste de la membrane de l'orbe, et se lever pour apprendre à marcher. Les créatures humanoïdes sorties des premières orbes symbiotiques sont très grossièrement constituée à notre image, et leurs visages pourvus de deux yeux et d'une bouche n'a pas de particularités qui permettent de les différencier. Ces créatures auraient été conçues pour tenter de nous approcher et nous observer. ## Licence : [CC0 - Domaine public](https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/) ​ ## Extrait [FR] * **Auteur** : Wilem Ortiz * **Licence** : [CC0 - Domaine public](https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/) « Lorsque la première orbe symbiotique se posa sur notre sol, le ciel de demi-lune était déjà obscur au-dessus des mélèzes. C’est une chouette dans son houppier qui vit lentement "couler" le premier œuf. Depuis les hauteurs du ciel l'orbe ne tombait pas, elle sombrait, doucement, comme lâchée dans un océan. La partie supérieure du corps en chute molle s'était gonflée, ballonnée au contact de notre atmosphère. Ni la clarté lunaire ni les rétines animales ne permettaient d'apprécier les reflets rosés de cette méduse à parachute, qui descendait en suivant une ligne verticale invisible. Au surplomb rocheux tapissé de mousses, petite aire bordée de forêt épaisse que la chouette surveille toutes les nuits, il est dangereux de s'approcher trop près du vide. C'est sur cet emplacement étroit que la toute première orbe s’écrasa. Il y eut un bruit de membrane qui se détend. Le premier œuf placé par le hasard, resta ensuite de longues heures, immobile, au bord du précipice. Ce que l'on sait du processus est un recueil imprécis de théories. La structure anatomique contenue à l'intérieur de l'orbe s'agglomérerait sous son enveloppe. Des réactions chimiques en cascade, déclenchées au contact des éléments de notre atmosphère, diazote et oxygène, activeraient la construction moléculaire permettant au squelette de développer son corps trop fragile pour résister aux conditions extrêmes du voyage. Après quelques jours d'incubation, la masse ovoïde externe complètement dissoute laisserait s'échapper le corps doté de deux jambes, deux bras, et d'une tête binoculaire. » ​ ## Archive : https://archive.org/details/orbe-symbiotique-symbiotic-orb ​ ------ [**ENGLISH**] ## Author : Wilem Ortiz ## Description : **A symbiotic orb** is some kind of egg that has fallen from space containing a single alien creature. The unknown organic composition of the orb allows it to withstand extreme conditions in space or the atmosphere, but the body it contains within is only a gaunt structure at first. When the orb's envelope comes into contact with our atmosphere, a chain of chemical reactions causes matter to clump together on the humanoid structure, but it takes several days. At the end of this process the egg that has seemingly melted, and the humanoid body must break through what remains of the orb's membrane, to stand up and learn to walk. The humanoid creatures which came out of the first symbiotic orbs are very roughly constituted in our image, but their faces provided with two eyes and a mouth have no particularities which could allow to differentiate them. These creatures would have been conceived to try to approach us and to observe us. ## License : [CC0 - Public Domain](https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/) ​ ## Archive : https://archive.org/details/orbe-symbiotique-symbiotic-orb ​

Your take on the attribution license

I'm an aspiring author, building a novel under CC BY-SA (it's in french). My wish is to make it some kind of framework for others to be allowed to build more stories, or modify mine and redistribute freely, even commercially. I don't plan on making a living from it, there's no way it could happen (although being paid should not be incompatible with free licenses, but that's another discussion). The thing is, when I think about the attribution part of the license I'm choosing, I often think it's too restrictive and should be public domain instead, if my work is really meant to be an open narrative framework. What are your takes on the attribution license, regarding free licenses for cultural content, especially written content ? *(I'm french so if there are any french speaking people around here, feel free to answer in another language than english)*

NE PAS LIRE LES COMMENTAIRES DON’T READ THE COMMENTS Jeu en cours de conception … Textes pas relus ni corrigés, manque certaines parties, pas de liens valides, pas jouable en l’état

Hi, I need to be able to open a single comment on top of the window, like a permalink (I'm creating a hypertext game on lemmy), but the two link methods available in the GUI doesn't behave like they should. * The first "link" button doesn't act like a permalink at all when there are nested comments above it, I don't know why (on Firefox 91.10.0es), but sometimes it just shows some nested comments above instead of the actual comment itself * The second "link" button just end on a 404 page. How is this one supposed to work ? So I was wondering if there is another way of displaying only a single comment by its id, but looking at the HTML dom it doesn't seem like comments have unique ids ? Hope someone can answer :) ----- **Edit** : I checked in another browser, still the same issue. Also this problem is happening with non-nested comments too, the first link to a comment is not reliable and shows random content on the page, but this seems to be happening only when the comments count begins to be high under a post (more than twenty or so? cannot say exactly)
