No President
n+1 editors and contributors on the election.

Dear reader,
This is not the email we planned to send you this month. Like so many of you, we at n+1 are still processing the consequences of last Tuesday's presidential election. As we wrap up Issue 27, due out in December, we've been publishing responses from editors and contributors in a series on our website called No President. The title comes from a line in founding editor Mark Greif's piece:
Having seen the slogan and heard the chant, "Not My President," I feel the slogan should instead be "No President." Not only is Trump no president in attitudes and beliefs, but in effect we should decide we do not have a president, through the paradox of the legitimate election of an illegitimate officeholder.
We hope that these short essays prove useful to you in the coming days:
Mark Greif, No President
Dayna Tortorici, What Can Feminists Do?
Marco Roth, The Disaster
Nikil Saval, What Are We Trying to Figure Out?
Keith Gessen, Angry White Men
Rachel Ossip, I Voted for All of Them
Pankaj Mishra, Rise of the Egocrats
Karla Cornejo Viillavicencio, Undocumented Election Night
and more.
You've probably heard publishers' calls to support independent media. What they say is true: this country needs fact-based journalism and subscriber support to produce the kind of work that keeps citizens informed. But it also needs strong voices from the margins—small, dissenting publications to stay vigilant, keep the level of discourse high, and champion literature even in a culture that takes it for granted.
This is the role we aim to fulfill. To do it, n+1 needs you. If you don't subscribe, please support the magazine and its writers by subscribing today. If you're already a subscriber, consider donating. Help us fight the forces of reaction in the arts and politics. With your support, we can and will continue to publish the ambitious, challenging, and provocative writing we've produced for the past twelve years.
Thank you for your support—especially in dark times. Most of all, thank you for reading.
Yours,
Mark Krotov

Bain & Hernandez ATA window performance Friday November 25, 4-9pm ... Artists' Television Access, 992 Valencia St, San Francisco
The Other You
A gesture can contain the DNA of an entire persona. From a gait, a life story is told. We will inhabit the ATA window for several hours to perform a marathon of spontaneous character transformations. Not theater improv, this work is what we've both been doing for 2 decades: using character/persona/alter ego to get at the things that people are, that people do. To explore what is inherently human vs what is consumed as an idea of who we are, or who we are supposed to be.
ATA's storefront window is advertising architecture along one of the most moneyed commercial strips in this country. When display windows like this contain the human form, the signal is for viewers to consume, to conform to the specific fashion being portrayed. Instructions are being given on how to look, be, buy...
Last year we loved thwarting the shopper's impulse by being well-dressed, friendly non sequitur in the window; this year we will continue by populating the space with a continuous personality parade from afternoon til evening on Black Friday.
Claire Bain and Alfred Hernandez are Bay Area artists. They both employ persona, using their bodies as material to create impressions of being and story. They have each shown work at numerous venues, and sometimes collaborate.
