What in the hell …

I forget when offhand, but Negri once wrote a book called “Art And Multitude: Eight Letters.” (more…)

In German, I mean. (more…)

A dumb idea, that’s what. (more…)

I’m taking advantage of a little more free time than usual to do some more translating. I’m working on a piece by the Precarias a la Deriva on militant research, which originally appeared in the excellent book Nociones Communes, which collects some contemporary militant resarch materials from some people in Spain, Italy, and Argentina.

Apparently so! This is a little embarassing.

The new issue of ephemera is out. It’s a webjournal affiliated with a unit in the management program at Leicester University. I don’t understand that, though I do have cynical intuitions about why a business school would care about these matters, intuitions which I’d like to expand into analyses at some point in a way paralleling recent discussion at the Archive, Going Somewhere, Post-Hegemonic Musings, and elsewhere about cultural studies. For the record, though, I don’t take those conversations to be an attack necessarily on people employed in the enterprises under discussion (we all reproduce the capital relation to some degree), but more a call for some sophrosyne. Others may disagree. Anyway, new ephemera out. Co-edited by a friend, and I’ve got a hand in three pieces therein (a bit of nepotism perhaps, one can never be sure, but I don’t mind - I’m still proud to be involved in those pieces.) Comments of course welcome.

I’m not sure. It was an entity that existed at least on paper, consisting at a minimum of this manifesto.

Among the groups listed as signatories, the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo are likely familiar to folks. (more…)
