Notes for a New Social Protagonism
Colectivo Situaciones
Translated by Nate Holdren & Sebastián Touza
Introductions by Michael Hardt & Antonio NegriAn 18th Brumaire for the 21st Century: militant research on the December 19th and 20th, 2001 uprisings in Argentina
In the heat of an economic and political crisis, people in Argentina took to the streets on December 19th, 2001, shouting “¡Qué se vayan todos!” These words – “All of them out!” – hurled by thousands banging pots and pans, struck at every politician, economist, and journalist. These events opened a period of intense social unrest and political creativity that led to the collapse of government after government. Neighborhoods organized themselves into hundreds of popular assemblies across the country, the unemployed workers movement acquired a new visibility, workers took over factories and businesses. These events marked a sea change, a before and an after for Argentina that resonated around the world....

Undressing the Academy
or, The Student Handjob
University for Strategic Optimism
The weary student handbook genre is in need of a belligerent mauling. This is our crack at the job. We don’t want to talk down to anyone, but neither do we want to chat them up, so this is an attempt at thinking out the university from our own perspective, that of students. Here we air our dirty snapshot of the academy, at least semi-naked, just as we come across it.This potted guide is our pot shot at undressing and dressing down this place, the university, and understanding our place within it: its problems and potential, its power-relations and its possibilities for politicisation. It is not an outpouring of theories, more stories – a collection of experiences and practical tips, observations, suggestions and clues – a thinking (and occasional fantasizing) out loud. This is our attempt to share some of the knowledge to be gleaned in the university,...

TAZ
The Temporary Autonomous Zone, Ontological Anarchy, Poetic Terrorism
akim BeyThe underground cult bestseller! Essays that redefine the psychogeographical nooks of autonomy. Recipes for poetic terror, anarcho black magic, post-situ psychotropic surgery, denunciations of spiritual addictions to vapid infotainment cults this is the bastard classic, the watermark impressed upon our minds. Where conscience informs praxis, and action infects consciousness, TAZ is beginning to worm its way into above-ground culture.

This World We Must Leave
Jacques CamatteChallenging post-Marxist essays translated and reprinted from Jacques Camatte’s journal Invariance. Camatte’s writing emerges from the spirit of Paris 68, but from a less familiar perspective. Neither a Parisian post-structuralist nor a situationist, Camatte comes from an ultraleft Franco-Italian communist background, and takes Marx in a more ecological, anarchistic direction.
Essays include:

Th. Metzger
Th. Metzger writes anarchist horror fiction like Big Gurl, Shock Totem, and Dr. Penetralia — shotgun weddings of high art and low culture. This volume contains the complete rants and nasty little religious tracts of his Ziggurat Press, along with other horror fragments of high-rictus humor and post-gnostic disgust. Metzger’s non-fiction includes Blood and Volts.The Molecular Invasion

The Molecular Invasion
Critical Art EnsembleHaving exhausted the possibilities for geographic colonial expansion, as well as reaching the fiscal limitations of virtual space, capital begins its invasion of a new frontier — organic molecular space. The Critical Art Ensemble began mapping this development in Flesh Machine (Autonomedia, 1998) by examining the use of reproductive technologies and their promise for achieving an intensified degree of control over worker and citizen. The Molecular Invasion acts as a companion to this first book by mapping the politics of transgenics, and offering a model for the creation of a contestational biology, as well as providing direct interventionist tactics for the disruption of this new assault on the organic realm.”The Molecular Invasion is an indispensable user’s guide for anyoneinterested in the critical thinking and practice of biotech as a social, scientific, and political phenomenon. Whether in the genetic transgressions of the “fourth domain,” the “promissory rhetoric” of utopian science industries, or the networks of “transgenic production,”...
