It inhabits digital spaces to build public knowledge that's rooted in psychoanalysis and in collective, multiple, inclusive, radical, and hidden truths. In all we do at Stillpoint Magazine we strive to continue becoming: anti-racist, feminist, queer, ecologically attentive, anti-colonial, and anti-capitalist. * Read my inaugural editorial statement “Why Start a Magazine??” from Issue 001: FANTASY (June 2019)&nbsp;below, or click here to view at stillpointmag.org where it featured original artworks by Driton Selmani.&nbsp; <img width="2304" height="3456" width_o="2304" height_o="3456" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/61d3a21ad1f13bb4b296f5f1706c195fc2edce31d415b132fde6862f29b5b23f/Stillpoint-Magazine-poster.jpg" data-mid="82632467" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/61d3a21ad1f13bb4b296f5f1706c195fc2edce31d415b132fde6862f29b5b23f/Stillpoint-Magazine-poster.jpg" /> Why Start a Magazine?? I'm writing this at 11,589 meters above the earth, to explain. Maybe there's no need, but I've always been skeptical, curious, insatiable. Maybe you are too. But it's difficult to say why: a magazine of all things, and digital! In fact, we're starting this, Stillpoint Magazine, partly to make room in the midst of all this static for the things in each of us that can't be explained. I won't say that 'unexplainable' is the beginning and end of this question we can't escape: What is behind the I? If we thought so, then there'd be no magazine, and yet here we are. Here we are, flipping 'psychology magazine' and 'psychoanalytic journal' and 'self help' on their heads like our lives depend on it, like we'll turn it all into the best basement show of our lives, while around us the atmosphere riots, but we hold steady. What is behind the I? That's the heart of the matter, through it all—through you, and me, through all of us. Not to get too heavy on you. Still, we're starting Stillpoint Magazine from that question, and we're starting it for ourselves, for all we've needed to read and look at, but couldn't find anywhere, at least not in magazines, at least not in digital. A magazine where ideas aren't dead on arrival, where the visual artwork hits you in your memories or dreams or desires, where there's no shame in asking: 'No seriously, why am I required to suffer through this? And what does it matter, anyway?' We're looking for right-and-wrong answers to those ancient questions: in stories that live through us, in lyrics that linger, in argument that makes us say 'Yeah. I feel you.' and in images that blur the line between dreams and waking life, conjuring the kind of impossible madness and magic that make us believe we can hold two watermelons at once, and actually try it. Of course there has to be fashion—second skin, armor, plumage that hides, and shields, and reveals us. If we're making Stillpoint Magazine for ourselves, then more than anything, we're making it for you. We're making it for you just exactly as you are right this very second, and through it all: from the moment you wake and drag yourself into another day, until you finally fall asleep in exhausted, unconscious bliss. And in-between too, through each gorgeous, difficult minute: through the labor and duty, the bills and gasoline, the debts, the news, the screens, the screens, the children. Knowing us, we're probably making it for our lovers first: ghosts, or better halves, or the ones we've lost and can't forget. But we're making it for our fathers too, for our mothers, and for theirs. Yes really, all are welcome here: our sisters, our brothers, our children. We're making it for all of our friends including those we haven't made yet, for the strangers with whom we've shared a knowing or questioning glance. We're making it for our complicated bosses and our subversive colleagues, we're making it for the laborers, writers, artists, designers and scholars we're obsessed with. And we're making it for the therapists and analysts we need, even if we resist. We're making it especially for them, so that the alchemy they create with an Other in quiet, closed rooms seeps out, and touches the rest of us. Because we know that each one of us, and them, and you, are simply working endlessly, and in myriad ways, to try and understand that sublime, ferocious mystery: Just what is behind the I?Of course, for each of us, the replies can only be whispered, or glimpsed, in fleeting moments that never appear quite the same way twice. Which is why Stillpoint Magazine, in Issue 001: FANTASY and beyond, is rife with juxtaposition, synchrony, and experiment. I’ll cool it with the lists. But what I'm trying to tell you is, it's been a wild ride already, a group of fantasies born in the magical hotel rooms of our minds, running reckless through our loves, our labor, and our lives, fantasies faster than we are, making us unrecognizable to our old selves, fantasies that, in a moment, we'll pass along to you. Welcome to Stillpoint Magazine. We hope you like it. Because this is just the beginning. ~ Anne Marie Wirth Cauchon, June 2019 https://annemariewirthcauchon.com/Reparative-Narrative Fri, 10 Jul 2020 12:10:47 +0000 Anne Marie Wirth-Cauchon https://annemariewirthcauchon.com/Reparative-Narrative Institutional &amp; Nonprofit Communications St. David’s Developmental &amp; Therapeutic ServicesInstitutional storytelling, website copy, program language, advocacy writing, executive communications, fundraising and advancement communications, long-form storytelling and community education I wrote and refined both internal and public-facing storytelling and language across St. David’s marketing and communications.

The entire west is seemingly ablaze when James hitchhikes to Missoula, in search of clues to his father's mysterious death two decades earlier. Ruth traded a dead-end life in Minneapolis for a dead-end life in Missoula. But in Missoula, she's got Bridget. "[Bridget] was gorgeous... but that wasn't it, that didn't quite explain it. What explained it was the curse. The curse of the unreasonably pretty, the curse of cult leaders and dictators. It sucked everyone to her, it consumed her, made her untouchable." After a local girl dies at a party, signaling the end of fun for the twentysomethings of Missoula, James and Ruth become involved. But jealousy over Bridget quickly complicates things.” (Two Dollar Radio) You can purchase Nothing here at Two Dollar Radio.&nbsp; You can view my author profile here.&nbsp; * Select Reviews and Interviews: Tao Lin for the New York Times Electric Lit The Star Tribune Paste Magazine Interview with LA Review of Books Interview with Brad Listi on The Other People Podcast <img width="443" height="600" width_o="443" height_o="600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5e3e4e539e8f6160f45d24d97b2621ae70258da568738407db16e6f4f984e0ee/Nothing-.png" data-mid="82633211" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/443/i/5e3e4e539e8f6160f45d24d97b2621ae70258da568738407db16e6f4f984e0ee/Nothing-.png" /> https://annemariewirthcauchon.com/Teaching Mon, 14 Sep 2020 12:55:38 +0000 Anne Marie Wirth-Cauchon https://annemariewirthcauchon.com/Teaching Teaching My teaching philosophy is based on an inclusive, student-centered approach. Following liberatory pedagogical principles, I work to build and support students’ critical thinking by activating their own knowledge and experience, as crucial elements of collaborative learning, as and as essential elements of reading and interpreting literature, philosophy, psychoanalysis, and critical theory. https://annemariewirthcauchon.com/Apocalyptics-after-68 Fri, 10 Jul 2020 12:10:46 +0000 Anne Marie Wirth-Cauchon https://annemariewirthcauchon.com/Apocalyptics-after-68 Apocalyptics After ‘68 Doctoral Dissertation&nbsp; In the first of two sections of this multimodal dissertation project, I analyze depictions of apocalyptic catastrophe in three novels of the years around 1968. In my analysis, I draw on psychoanalytic and critical theory to explore the potentials for interdependent identity and community building across differences symbolic, imagined, and real within catastrophe and its implicit threat of total destruction. In the final section, I draw on the literary, theoretical, and psychoanalytic principles I have outlined in the first, analytic section and consider their relevance for the contemporary experience of the COVID-19 pandemic, explosive ecological destruction, and the global uprising for Black Lives. I draw on the autoethnography methodology for this Digital Humanities exploration of nonlinear analysis, outside the tradition of 'criticism.'
