Caliban and the Witch
Women, The Body, and Primitive Accumulation
Silvia FedericiCaliban and the Witch is a history of the body in the transition to capitalism. Moving from the peasant revolts of the late Middle Ages to the witch-hunts and the rise of mechanical philosophy, Federici investigates the capitalist rationalization of social reproduction. She shows how the battle against the rebel body and the conflict between body and mind are essential conditions for the development of labor power and self-ownership, two central principles of modern social organization.Table of Contents Preface Introduction All the World Needs a Jolt: Social Movements and Political Crisis in Medieval Europe The Accumulation of Labor and the Degradation of Women: Constructing “Difference” in the “Transition to Capitalism” The Great Caliban: The Struggle Against the Rebel Body The Great Witch-Hunt in Europe Colonization and Christianization: Caliban and Witches in the New World Index Bibliography “In the neoliberal era of postmodernism, the proletariat is whited-out from the pages of history....

Curating Immateriality
The Work of the Curator in the Age of Network Systems
Joasia Krysa, editorThis is the third book in the DATA Browser series of critical texts that explore issues at the
intersection of culture and technology.
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’...

CHRONIC RIOT SPASM
Zines, 1992_1996
FlyThis anthology of New York City’s street artist Fly’s zines from 1992-1996 contains equal amounts of surreal comix and twisted prose, describing her daily struggle to keep things going against powerful controlling forces and have some fun, too. Fighting with contemptuous cops, fixing up abandoned buildings, hanging around making observations about street life and love are some of the themes that construct this book, a celebration of the nonalienated life and its schizzy absurdities.

Conversations with Durito
Stories of the Zapatistas and Neoliberalism
Subcomandante MarcosIn 1994, from the Lacandon jungle, Zapatista Subcomandante Marcos
replied to a ten-year-old girl in Mexico City who had sent him a drawing.
In his response, Marcos conjured up a first fable introducing
the beetle and knight-errant “Don Durito de la Lacandon.”The ensuing output of Durito-related communiqués and tales comprise
a broad discourse of the Zapatistas’ struggle, revealing their
organizational history, their critique of traditional politics, and the
reasons for their opposition to neoliberalism. These elements
have helped make the Zapatistas an exemplary reference
in the international movement against capitalist globalization.Conversations with Durito includes all the Durito stories issued to date, translated, annotated, and contextualized by the Áccion Zapatista Editorial Collective, and illustrated by simpático artists. Poetic, humorous, and
imaginative, these fables provide an excellent introduction to the politics
of globalization from the radical perspective of indigenous struggle.Contents

Dreamer of the Day
Francis Parker Yockey & The Postwar Fascist International
Kevin Coogan“This study is a treasure chamber for all those interested in the ideology of the heirs of fascism and Nazism in Europe and America, of National Bolshevism, Odinism, various occult sects of the extreme right, and the groups which tried to provide a synthesis between the extreme leftwing and far right thought.” — Walter Laqueur, author of Black Hundred, The Rise of the Extreme Right in Russia, and Fascism: Past, Present, Future
