"This essay will there treat an(archy) as an attitude towards the world. And not as a "political" theory or base. It will begin where Anti-Oedipus begins: with a discussion of disiring-production and desiring-machines; and it will develop these concepts to demonstrate their relation to an(archy) or the an(archical) way of life." (p. 52, Rolando Perez, On An(archy) and Schizoanalysis. 1990. Autonomedia.)

Quote

The site of curatorial production has been expanded to include the space of the Internet and the focus of curatorial attention has been extended from the object to processes to dynamic network systems. As a result, curatorial work has become more widely distributed between multiple agents, including technological networks and software. This upgraded 'operating system' of art presents new possibilities of online curating that is collective and distributed - even to the extreme of a self-organising system that curates itself. The curator is part of this entire system but not central to it. The subtitle of the book makes reference to the essay 'The Work of Culture in the Age of Cybernetic Systems' (1988), in which Bill Nichols considered how cybernetics transformed cultural production. He emphasised the shift from mechanical reproduction (symbolised by the camera) to that of cybernetic systems (symbolised by the computer) in relation to the political economy, and pointed to contradictory tendencies inherent in these systems: 'the negative, currently dominant, tendency toward control, and the positive, more latent potential toward collectivity'. The book continues this general line of inquiry in relation to curating, and extends it by considering how power relations and control are expressed in the context of network systems and immateriality. In relation to network systems, the emphasis remains on the democratic potential of technological change but also the emergence of what appears as more intensive forms of control. Can the same be said of curating in the context of distributed forms? If so, what does this imply for software curating beyond the rhetoric of free software and open systems?

Quote

It was in the attempt to form a new type of individual that the bourgeoisie engaged in that battle against the body that has become its historic mark. According to Max Weber, the reform of the body is at the core of the bourgeois ethic because capitalism makes acquisition 'the ultimate purpose of life', instead of treating it as a means for the satisfaction of our needs; thus, it requires that we forfeit all spontaneous enjoyment of life (Weber 1958: 53). Capitalism also attempts to overcome our 'natural state', by breaking the barriers of nature and by lengthening the working day beyond the limits set by the sun, the seasonal cycles, and the body itself, as constituted in pre-industrial society.

Federici S (2017) Caliban And The Witch: Women, the Body and Primitive Accumulation. New York, NY: Autonomedia. p135

This quote from Federici, similar to Barnwell’s article Durkheim as affect theorist, is a good reminder that the tendency to speak of the sociology of the body and emotions as turning focus to what was historically neglected by sociology misleadingly gives the impression the Cartesian dualism was universally shared rather than arising from the way sociology was institutionalised as a discipline. Weber with his writings on ‘rationality’ has often been accused of Cartesianism. Yet as Turner (2008: 59) notes whilst “Weber’s sociology of religion is conventionally approached in terms of a contradiction between meaning and knowledge [’the disenchantment of the world’], there is a major component of Weber’s analysis of religions as various systematizations of irrational salvational paths where the opposition between body and meaning becomes critically important”.

It’s not that Weber accepts the mind-body division as metaphysically fixed, but instead sees this division as a product of socio-historical developments. As Turner puts it, also nicely highlighting similarities between Weber and Foucault -

In mediaeval times, the attempt to create a rational and systematic regimen of denial was largely confined to the religious orders who, as it were, practised asceticism on behalf of the lay man. Expressing this differentiation in spatial terms, reason was allocated to the internal domain of the monastery, while desire ran rampant in the profane world of the lay society. In this respect, we could perceive the principal argument of Weber’s The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism (1930) as an account of how the Reformation took the ascetic denial of desire out of the monastic cell into the secular family. Protestantism thus sought to break the distinction between the elite and the mass by transforming elite practices into everyday routines of self-control. Abstinence, the control of passions, fasting and regularity were thus held up as ideal norms for the whole society, since salvation could no longer be achieved vicariously by the labours of monks. The disciplines and regulations of the family, school and factory thus have their historical roots in the redistribution of monastic practices within the wider society. The monastic cell was installed in the prison and the workshop, while ascetic practices spread ever outwards (Foucault, 1979: 238).

- Turner BS (2008) The Body and Society, Third Edition: Explorations in Social Theory. 3rd edition. Los Angeles: SAGE Publications Ltd. p.22

ART FOR UBI (MANIFESTO)

Happy to join forces with this movement and create a network that strongly demands the introduction of a Universal Basic Income as the main response to the systemic crisis that is affecting not only the art and cultural production sector but the whole ecosystem in which we move every day!

The ART FOR UBI campaign promoted by the Institute of Radical Imagination.

1/ Universal and Unconditional Basic Income is the best measure for the arts and cultural sector. Art workers claim a basic income, not for themselves, but for everyone.

2/ Do not call UBI any measures that do not equal a living wage: UBI has to be above the poverty threshold. To eliminate poverty, UBI must correspond to a region’s minimum wage.

3/ UBI frees up time, liberating us from the blackmail of precarious labor and from exploitative working conditions.

4/ UBI is given unconditionally and without caveats, regardless of social status, job performance, or ability. It goes against the meritocratic falsehoods that cover for class privilege.

5/ UBI is not a social safety net, nor is it welfare unemployment reform. It is the minimal recognition of the invisible labor that is essential to the reproduction of life, largely unacknowledged but essential, as society’s growing need for care proves.

6/ UBI states that waged labor is no longer the sole means for wealth redistribution. Time and time again, this model proves unsustainable.Wage is just another name for exploitation of workers, who always earn less than they give.

7/ Trans-feminist and decolonizing perspectives teach us to say NO to all the invisible and extractive modes of exploitation, especially within the precarious working conditions created by the art market.

8/ UBI affirms the right to intermittence, privacy and autonomy, the right to stay off-line and not to be available 24/7.

9/ UBI rejects the pyramid scheme of grants and of the nonprofit industrial complex, redistributing wealth equally and without unnecessary bureaucratic burdens. Bureaucracy is the vampire of art workers’ energies and time turning them into managers of themselves.

10/ By demanding UBI, art workers do not defend a guild or a category and depreciate the role that class and privilege play in current perceptions of art. UBI is universal because it is for everyone and makes creative agency available to everyone.

11/ Art’s health is directly connected to a healthy social fabric. To claim for UBI, being grounded in the ethics of mutual care, is art workers’ most powerful gesture of care towards society.

12/ Because UBI disrupts the logic of overproduction, it frees us from the current modes of capital production that are exploiting the planet. UBI is a cosmogenetic technique and a means to achieve climate justice.

13/ Where to find the money for the UBI? In and of itself UBI questions the actual tax systems in Europe and elsewhere. UBI empowers us to reimagine financial transactions, the extractivism of digital platforms, liquidity, and debt. No public service should be cut in order to finance UBI.

14/ UBI inspires many art collectives and communities to test various tools for more equal redistribution of resources and wealth. From self-managed mutual aid systems based on collettivising incomes, to solutions temporarily freeing cognitive workers from public and private constraints. We aim to join them.

Our friend David Graeber has died. David was an academic and a thinker who regularly and expertly articulated in books and essays why we do what we do - fighting for a better world without hierarchy and domination. Unlike most radical thinkers who build careers teaching at institutions like Yale and then later the London School of Economics David was just as eager as any of us to throw on a gas mask, some padding and face off with riot cops, be it in Quebec City, New York or later throughout Europe. He spent more time than most of us could handle in planning meetings, but that organizing led to actions that in the case of Occupy Wall Street led to a global movement, the reverberations of which are still making news today! He then went on to lend meaningful support to the Kurdish led fight for autonomy and freedom in Rojava. As an organization we distributed discounted copies of his books from Autonomedia, @akpress and his shorter pamphlet sized essays we printed and handed out free of charge by the thousands. We will continue to do so especially one of our favorites - his prescient Anarchism Or the Revolutionary Movement of the 21st Century co-authored by Andrej Grubacic. David was a true comrade and he will be missed and he will be remembered. 😢❤️🔥🏴 #davidgraeber #anarchist #directaction #zines #occupywallstreet #anarchism #anarquista #akpress #rojava #yabasta #bullshitjobs #anarquismo #directactiongetsthegoods #rojavarevolution #anarchist #saverojava #anarchistzines #anarcho #anarchismo #anarchocommunist #anarchistbooks #ows #occupy #internationalsolidarity #zine #smashthestate #nogodsnomasters #wearethe99percent #anarquia #wearethe99 https://www.instagram.com/p/CEsOd5tjQhh/?igshid=1iycsq9vna25f

Shortly after the election, a local Austin media outlet called Autonomedia, which has reported rather extensively on Dolcefino before, released new information about him and his campaign that should matter to every Houstonian: his campaign manager John Stolz is a white supremacist who admins and expresses extremely racist ideas in a racist Facebook group for UT students called UT Hot Takes and associates with other open white supremacists.Dolcefino himself affiliates with several other openly racist UT activists.

Last year, he personally helped program an event for an openly white supremacist speaker from UK named Katie Hopkins who has called for putting Muslims in concentration camps, referred to immigrants as cockroaches, and blamed the Tree of Life Synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh on the Rabbi’s support for migrants (just the tip of the iceberg of horrible racist things Hopkins has said).

Read about his opponent Letitia Plummer

Feast your eyes and your shelves on August’s

SPD Recommends *Backlist*,

ten titles that continue to rock our world. Maybe they’ll rock yours too…

1. Poems of the Black Object - Ronaldo Wilson

"[A] warning to anyone tempted to believe that in objectification lies freedom. Livid inside an apocalyptic negative capability, these poems are constructed through their maker's deconstruction, and reading, I too, felt unmade."—Claudia Keelan

2. Sherwood Forest - Camille Roy

"In its capacity to stop time, SHERWOOD FOREST opens its reader to a future made ‘suddenly visible.’ A ‘narration’ that's both ‘desire’ and what incubates it: the capacity to ‘float.’ Imagine a forest floating in the air. Camille Roy does this. She is a writer who lets her reader dream, past tree-line. Where the sentences flare and dim, like 'sexy bodies.' Like a memory of touch. Like ‘body parts’ and 'tissue' - a luminous genitalia - above a pond."—Bhanu Kapil

3. Maribor - Demosthenes Agafiotis

"MARIBOR gives us both artifact—of the ephemera of communication, institutions, power—as well as blueprint for imagining an 'alphabet of the future.' A master of the contemporary hermetic, Agrafiotis can bring to light in one stroke both the evanescence and endurance of the writing on the wall."—Eleni Stecopoulos

4. Hurdis Addo - Samantha Giles

"Conceptual poetics + wed to + a dedication to social justice = a book with sharp edges and intriguing reading dynamics. Definitely recommended." — Kevin Killian

5. The Lizard Club - Steve Abbot

"Steve Abbot's THE LIZARD CLUB is funny, angry, suspenseful and totally new. It's like a Xerox of tragedy, Pandora without her box. Read it and feel your tongue growing and growing until you can flick flies out of the air."—Kevin Killian.

6. Inter Arma - Lauren Shufran

"Laura Shufran's meter-making argument stings with ludic blows bent to send the line aquiver. Weaponized with duck soup and chicken rimes (a baker's dozen haptic hexes of heptameter), INTER ARMA is the neoclassical nude formalism that the times demand. With searing wit and virtuosic élan, Shufran's epic lyrics hit homers every time."—Charles Bernstein

7. Haecceities - Michael Cross

"In HAECCEITIES, Michael Cross has made an interim language, his invention a relation between the words—as if this unknown relation or 'noumenon' is 'a hide enthinned' of futuristic Elizabethan single words each at once tactile, optical, aural simultaneously traces and events of reinterpreted future-present spurred in 'the many hundred wing-lit hives'"—Leslie Scalapino.

8. C.C. - Tyrone Williams

"Slanging each other we drift apart. Maybe there is a war outside. Will web sites continue to explode? The poems in C.C. are tense, troubled, intricately terse. In this powerful collection Tyrone Williams explores the boundaries between poetry, politics, and history."—Susan Howe

9. Negativity - Jocelyn Saidenberg

"'Rejecting that which cannot be recaptured' makes negativity prelude to a form of freedom, and the psychosexual progress Saidenberg’s pilgrim traces from 'Destruction as a Cause of Becoming' to the knotty resolve of CARNAL achieves a “music of exhaust and darkening horizons” that’s entirely the poet’s own: 'Figures retie the circle, then release into shape.’” —Rodney Koeneke

10. Democracy Is Not for the People - Josef Kaplan

"This book works exactly as I expected (of course you have to use as directed). I was very happy with my purchase, and with the cop being on fire. I am not sure we should mug the wealthy, of course." —Diana Hamilton
