Sic: International Journal for Communisation
Some information about Sic & CommunisationSic aims to be the locus for an unfolding of the problematic of
communisation. It comes from the encounter of individuals involved in
various projects in different countries: among these are the journals
Endnotes, published in the UK and the US, Blaumachen in Greece,
Théorie Communiste in France, Riff-Raff in Sweden, and certain more or
less informal theoretical groups in the US (New York and San
Francisco). Each of these projects will continue to exist on their
own. Also participating are various individuals in France, Germany,
and elsewhere, who are involved in other activities and who locate
themselves broadly within the theoretical approach taken here.Communisation

The Plastic Factory
Ron Kolm
“The quintessential short fiction of its time, The Plastic Factory’s minimalist surface sits atop a terse inventory of the inner costs of living outside the professional managerial bullet train, looking through the display windows at the swatch-life, emerging with the antithesis of the yuppie-preppy sensibility. Every phrase glistens with the dull sheen of the bog slime rising all around these characters acting out the anomie of the soul in the Reagan era when the American Dream got hijacked from everyone outside that cozy 1% at the top of the food chain. This is the voice of their prey: listen up!” — Robert Siegle, author of Suburban Ambush: Downtown Writing and the Fiction of Insurgency“From the silence of the industrial countryside, Kolm has written an elegy for time wasted through work. The Plastic Factory accumulates its power through attention to detail and process. The botched life of the narrator takes on a certain sad grandeur.” — Thomas McGonigle,...

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:
