Between Dog and Wolf
Essays on Art & Politics
David Levi Strauss
Second edition, with Prolegomenon by Peter Lamborn Wilson

In his first collection of essays, David Levi Strauss addresses the always conflicted relation between aesthetics and politics by concentrating on specific instances – from allopathic art to Desert Storm propaganda, from Columbus’s legacy to Robert Smithson’s prophesies, and from new art in post-Soviet Russia to public art in the United States – and by focusing on the work of artists as various as Grunewald, Jean Genet, Cindy Sherman, Joseph Beuys and Andy Warhol, Jean-Luc Godard and Anne-Marie Mizonville, Carolee Schneemann, Andrei Monastyrsky, and Daniel Joseph Martinez.”We can learn with him. He knows how to resist, he’s a good guide across frontiers, he stays calm, he hates the New World Order and its no-future. Critic as coyote. Listen with him!” – John Berger”An uncommon assertion of cultural critique and topical apercus, ranging from chronic pain in our era to Columbus’s discovery of the Third World....

Anarchitexts
Voices from the Global Digital Resistance
Edited by Joanne Richardson

Anarchitexts brings together a global mix of voices from the new “underground”: engaged artists intervening in local struggles on the streets, media producers promoting technologies based on sharing and cooperation rather than privatization and competition, activists participating in global networks built through electronic democracies and decentralized forms of cooperation, and extraordinary people creating an alternative society through their everyday practices. As a matter of principle Anarchitexts reflects the first-hand perspective of those involved at the point of production, not distanced reflections by critics, specialists, or armchair theorists.

Carnival of Chaos
On the Road with the Nomadic Festival
Sascha Debrul

Congeries of heretical, drunken pirates from the Lower East Side roamed the country in 1995, stirring up guerilla parties and workshops, trying to build a new world from the waste of a soulless society, and wondering how to pay for the next gallon of gas. This collection of stories and illustrations paints the triumphs and misadventures of the Nomadic Festival at breakneck speed, and offers ideas and inspiration for the next outlaw orgy.

CANADAs
Jordan Zinovich, editor

The soft matrices of a nation eclate; an exploded diagram. This anthology redraws Canada as a complex terra incognita of desire and dismay.
“Eco-feminism, censorship, and the ‘queerness’ of the True North. Richly eclectic in tone and material, unrelentingly controversial, and very difficult to ignore. It is likely the most novel take on our state of affairs in quite some time.” — Michael Freeman, Venue magazine, Toronto.

Crimes of the Beats
The Unbearables
One evening, the Unbearable Beatniks of Light were bemoaning the sorry state of radical culture, and asked themselves what single act they could do to release themselves from their past, while at the same time honoring it. Perhaps put the beatniks, the real beatniks, on trial? Turn the Crimes of the Beats into the Nuremberg of Bohemia: Call out Burroughs for copping W. C. Fields’ act, and Ginsberg for being the original Maynard G. Krebs in the gray flannel beretÑalways hyping, hyping, hyping the myth, then selling, selling, selling it as the only viable alternative to the polluted mainstream. And of course Jackie boy himself for claiming that he wrote On the Road in one sitting, a lie that ruined three whole generations of novelists gobbling speed to duplicate the feat of the beat that never really went down in anything short of seven drafts. File under “Literary Criticism.”

Crimes of Culture
Richard Kostelanetz
Kostelanetz slashes and burns his way through the politics of American culture. Crimes of Culture examines the critical conflicts between literary institutions and the cultural apparatuses of the state. It assaults the status quo’s assumptions on the value of graduate schooling, newspaper literacy, and the problems of copyright and censorship. Caution: demolition master at work!
