Alternative MediaI’d recommend this text to people who aren’t sold on “insurrection” as it’s currently being advanced, who are working at different time scales, and who (like the authors of The Coming Insurrection), aren’t expecting a climactic street fight against the cops to end state and capitalism for good.

While translations of various quality have been floating around for a while now, it’s deeply satisfying to have a polished, real-life, honest-to-god book version of The Coming Insurrection available. Authored by the anonymous collective “The Invisible Committee,” the book has gained notoriety for being introduced by the state as one of the primary pieces of evidence in the trial for “criminal association for the purposes of terrorist activity” of the Tarnac 9 – think the French version of the Green Scare here and you’ve got the idea.

So at least one state of this world thinks this is a dangerous book, and they might be right. The Coming Insurrection reads like a Situationist manifesto, and borrows from some of the same sources as Guy Debord and co. did (Henri Lefebvre’s urbanism, for instance), but these kids have had the luxury of a few more decades of radical thought to draw on, so motifs drawn from Deleuze and Guattari, Alain Badiou, Giorgio Agamben and others surface throughout the text, which also distills down some of the conceptual work done in the (largely still untranslated) two issues of the journal Tiqqun.

And above all, it takes this whole theoretical war machine and deploys it in the current context, with rigor and consistency, aimed at green capitalism, electronic isolation, state terror, and crisis, in a kind of Minima Moralia meets Crimethinc full-bore assault on miserabilism, exploitation, control and cooptation, along with some hints of the possibilities of an insurrectionary politics and a communism worthy of the name.

It’s an easy, pocket size text, a quick read, but one I’d encourage be re-read – it’s all too easy to come away from the text with a limited picture of what the idea of insurrection they’re advancing demands, to slip into thinking insurrection as what they uncompromising distance themselves from (an activist mileu). It’s for this reason, too, that I’d recommend this text to people who aren’t sold on “insurrection” as it’s currently being advanced, who are working at different time scales, and who (like the authors of The Coming Insurrection), aren’t expecting a climactic street fight against the cops to end state and capitalism for good. In fact, I’d say the most productive reading – if not the easiest one – of this little text is to try and think through what the revolutionary consistency it demands means for other subjects of (anti-)politics, than, say, a New School student. It’d be a shame to read this book lightly, to dismiss it as posturing or adventurism – to do so would be to miss the seriousness of the ethical project it proposes, much of which remains to be elaborated, in theory and in practice.

And incidentally, thanks to Semiotext(e) for putting this out! Great to see them getting back to putting out exciting translations of stuff before most people realize it’s relevant – not that we haven’t been overjoyed by the flood of recent Guattari texts….

More bad news for large newspapers. According to the latest stats from the Inland Press Association, larger newspapers with higher circulations are suffering more than their smaller siblings. Newspaper veteran Alan Mutter reports that the bigger the newspapers are, the more their profits decreased over the past five years. Since 2004, operating profits on average fell just over 100% at newspapers with circulation higher than 80,000. That's right. Taken all together, their losses wiped out their profits.]]> 49.2497 -123.119 Wed, 08 Jul 2009 09:35:46 +0200 40.4406 -79.9961 Wed, 08 Jul 2009 08:25:51 +0200 37.775 -122.418 Wed, 08 Jul 2009 07:22:28 +0200 36.175 -115.136 Wed, 08 Jul 2009 03:40:22 +0200 Might this be considered circumstantial evidence in response to the claim that bombs could not have been planted unnoticed in the WTC?
GAO: Major Security Flaws at Federal Buildings
The police agency in charge of protecting thousands of federal buildings nationwide has failed to keep bomb-making materials out of several high-security facilities in the past year, according to Congressional testimony provided by Senate aides. In the past year, investigators successfully smuggled bomb-making materials into ten high-security federal buildings, constructed bombs and walked around the buildings undetected, exposing weaknesses in security provided by the Federal Protective Service.
More than one million government employees work in 9,000 facilities guarded by FPS around the country, including at least 350,000 in the Washington region. The revelations come as the Obama administration prepares to reorganize the agency in the coming weeks.

New York, May 8, 2009--Three monks, leaders of the Saffron Revolution and now in exile in the US, speak out about the 2007 uprising against the Burmese military junta portrayed in Anders Østergaard's documentary BURMA VJ: Reporting from a Closed Country, made in collaboration with undercover video journalists working for the Democratic Voice of Burma. The monks form part of the All Burma Monks' Alliance (ABMA) , located in Utica, which supports the many monks imprisoned in Burmese jails, where prisoners are not fed. ABMA also supports refugee monks who have escaped from incarceration and torture in Burma and works with other groups to promote human rights and democracy in Burma. See also the interview with Anders Østergaard and Khin Maung Win on this blog. BURMA VJ is currently in theatrical release and playing at the Film Forum in New York.Burmese with English translation and subtitles. ]]> 40.7142 -74.0064 Tue, 17 Apr 2007 02:18:09 +0200 37.775 -122.418 Tue, 07 Jul 2009 20:47:18 +0200 38.9 -77.0167 Tue, 07 Jul 2009 20:18:11 +0200 41.1897 -87.5261 Tue, 07 Jul 2009 20:03:22 +0200 36.7472 -95.9806 Tue, 07 Jul 2009 19:00:00 +0200 32.7833 -96.8 Tue, 03 Feb 2009 01:00:55 +0100 1/25/09
