Angela wrote a while ago about the Precarias a la Deriva’ move to found the Agencia Todas a Cien as part of their continued involvement in the Eskalera Karakola. The Precarias have for the time being hung up their militant researcher helmets (as far as the derivas go, that is, there’s a level of militant research built into the activities planned for the Agencia, depending on how expansively one defines militant research). In any case, the Precarias now have a superhero in their networks: aZien. You can view videos in Spanish about it here.

… does Agamben mean by general intellect?
“[A] life directed toward the idea of happiness and cohesive with a form-of-life is thinkable only starting from (…) the irrevocable exodus from any sovereignty.”
“I call thought the nexus that constitutes the forms of life in an inseparable context as form-of-life. I do not mean by this individual exercise of an organ or of a psychic faculty, but rather an experience, an experimentum that has as its object the potential character of life and of human intelligence.
