Gynocide
Hysterectomy, Capitalist Patriarchy and the Medical Abuse of Women
Edited by Mariarosa Dalla CostaHow much of contemporary medical practice still derives from a practice rooted in the witch-hunts that plagued Europe from the fourteenth to the seventeenth century, and burned at the stake, after horrible torture, hundreds of thousands of midwives and healers along with other poor women — the greatest sexocide in recorded history?
Women’s bodies and their medical knowledge were burned on those stakes to be replaced by a male “science” and a male gynecological profession controlled by the state and church. Has history run its course? Or, among the many reasons given today for hysterectomies, does its abuse still conceal, more or less covertly, a yearning for male domination over women’s bodies that reaches this most lethal form of conquest because it expropriates and destroys what makes a body a woman’s body?

Innovative, free-form and traditional reviews of texts from the Bible and Ulysses to Borges, Calvino and David Sedaris by Luc Sante, Peter Lamborn Wilson, Jim Knipfel, Carl Watson, David Ulin, Sharon Mesmer, many more. Illustrated in color.“The Unbearables bare all; they are unbearably smart, unbearably talented, and unbearably lively — but here are the Unbearables at their highly bearable best. It’s a pleasure to find out what this group finds unbearable in such an engaging manner.” — Samuel Delany, author of Dark Reflections.
“The Unbearables are a bunch of cranks, crackpots, malcontents, misanthropes,ass-pains and brain-aches. Bless their sour pusses.” — John Strausbaugh, author of Sissy Nation and Black Like You.
“From stapling together issues of the National Poetry Magazine Of The Lower Eastside at CBGBs in the mid ‘80s,...

forcing a low-rent group of freelancers to go head-to-head with a
Fundamentalist-Industrial Complex in a race to solve the crimes.
“Neo Phobe aims directly at the paradox that lies at the center of all sexual liberatory
writing. Often it suggests brilliant resolutions of this paradox; sometimes it falls victim to it. Everyone should read this book.”
—Samuel Delany, author of Dhalgren and Times Square Red, Times Square Blue
“This is one of the strangest books I’ve ever seen.”
—Barney Rosset, former publisher of Grove Press
“Neo Phobe is a playful mystery novel that smartly comments on what it means to be a working-class writer (and detective) in NYC battling nowhere temp jobs, indifferent
literary journals, and Christian zealots, respectively. It’s also a character sketch of
The Unbearables, the anarchic group of verbo-visual terrorists and beer drinkers to which Feast and Kolm claim membership.”...Negations

Franco ‘Bifo’ BerardiEdited by Erik Empson & Stevphen Shukaitis
Translated by Arianna Bove, Michael Goddard, Giusppina Mecchia, Antonella Schintu, and Steve Wright154 pages, 6” x 9”
Release date July 3rd, 2009An infinite series of bifurcations: this is how we can tell the story of our life, of our loves, but also the history of revolts, defeats and restorations of order. At any given moment different paths open up in front of us, and we are continually presented with the alternative of going here or going there. Then we decide, we cut out from a set of infinite possibilities and choose a single path. But do we really choose? Is it really a question of a choice, when we go here rather than there? Is it really a choice, when masses go to shopping centers, when revolutions are transformed into massacres,...
