These insurgent essays develop and critique some of the cultural
and artistic projects that first arose with the worlwide wave of
protests, around the turn of the millennium, against what the
global South has long called neoliberalism.
Dissent and the refusal of a programmed existence return
continually to the street, but they also unfold in the intimacy of
the imagination. Complex discourses and elaborate fictions pass
through images, works, ideas and wild scenarios that hover around
the edges of reality; museums, cinemas, books and theaters are only
temporary homes for such things, and authors only a convenience.
Times leaches away the graffiti of revolt, and the cynicism of
power lays a new coat of paint. Yet still the collective phantoms
return.
These essays engage with the politics of aesthetics and artistic
practice. They include "Cartography of Excess," "Flexible
Personality and Networked Resistance," "Psycho-geography and the
Imperial Infrastructure," "The Revenge of the Concept," "Artistic
Autonomy and Communicaton Society," "Reverse Imagineering,"
"Transparency and Exodus," "Three Proposals for a Real Democracy,"
and more, from an author who is becoming a vital contributor to
contemporary cultural theory and global political struggles.
