Nesta série de ensaios, Fred Moten e Stefano Harney recorrem à tradição radical negra para pensar questões candentes relacionadas à proliferação da lógica e da logística capitalista no universo acadêmico e no mundo social. Partindo da experiência de exclusão social e existencial das pessoas negras, indígenas, queers e pobres, os autores teorizam sobre as possibilidades criativas de vida nos "sobcomuns", entendido como o espaço ocupado por aqueles espoliados da subjetividade mesma e defendido como uma espécie de reduto das rupturas históricas provocadas pelo capital. Os "sobcomuns" são aqueles que permanecem sob o radar do controle capitalista, às margens da ordem social, refratários à assimilação pelo sistema e lutando por outras formas de conviver, sentir e trabalhar. Ao recorrer a esse repositório, Moten e Harney encontram experiências como a quilombagem, os protestos e manifestações de massa, os boicotes, a desobediência civil, as revoltas de escravizados e as insurreições anticoloniais, e a partir delas propõem repensar toda uma gramática estabelecida pelo capitalismo contemporâneo: dívida e crédito; vigilância e controle; o sentido de diretivas e da governança; as noções de estudo e planejamento coletivo; o lugar da Universidade e das instituições educacionais; os limites das estruturas administrativas e governamentais existentes. Afinal, é no rastro das estratégias "fugidias" dos sobcomuns, defendem os autores, que poderemos encontrar princípios anticapitalistas de recusa das injustiças, resistência coletiva e auto-organização.

O SPK, pelo SPK: O estado do mundo é doença. Todos estão doentes. O que fazer? Fazer da doença uma arma é o primeiro olhar para um futuro a ser construído, livre de nomes e soluções finais, governadores, fábricas de saúde etc. O Coletivo Socialista de Pacientes (SPK) o chama Utopatia [Utopathie]. Fazer da doença uma arma é e permanece o programa, estável em seus efeitos há mais de 50 anos. O SPK e seu desenvolvimento posterior na Frente de Pacientes (PF) curto-circuita doença e revolução. Isso é e foi mostrado: A saúde é uma quimera biológico-nazista, cuja função na cabeça de cada um é o mascaramento do condicionamento social e da função social da doença. A doença não é sofrimento e passividade, mas enquanto resultado das relações capitalistas de produção, a doença é, em sua forma desenvolvida enquanto PROTESTO da vida contra o capital, A força produtiva revolucionária para os seres humanos. Os doentes são em si e sofrendo conscientes para si a classe revolucionária. Portanto, ao invés do medo da doença: revolução em virtude e com a força do ser-doente. No fogo da autoestigmatização pela doença, os Pacientes da Frente refundam suas cicatrizes num processo de contágio, ignição e inflamação que, como calor, atravessa de cima a baixo. Assim eles tomam "sua" doença em suas próprias mãos, a terapia é substituída pela agitação, até na vida cotidiana. Eles voltam a doença como protesto para fora, fazem dela uma arma de liberação coletiva. Realidade efetiva livre de médicos. A classe médica que domina a tudo e a todos quer suprimir com todos os meios este processo mundial de contágio, isto é, a apropriação comum e livre de médicos da doença que une a todos. Como toda terapia, esta supressão também está condenada a fracassar, pois a doença é mais forte. Nenhuma iatrocracia nunca mais poderá anular a sacudida e a convulsão [Erschütterung] dos fundamentos iatrocapitalistas do mundo provocadas pelos Pacientes da Frente. O começo de uma classe de pacientes está feito. E há quase 20 anos existe também o SPK/PF na América do Sul. PRÓ doença sempre o princípio: a única arma eficaz contra o terror fascista e promessa nazista de saúde e salvação. Tanto mais importante que SPK – Fazer da doença uma arma, manual de ação e guia desta luta de classes e em uso desde 1972, está agora finalmente disponível também numa tradução brasileiro-portuguesa. Ele desdobra as contradições envolvidas na doença e resume nele os princípios e métodos da Patoprática do SPK/PF. Ele mostra como cada um pode ele mesmo fazer SPK/PF e explica o princípio de propagação do Expansionismo Multi-Focal. Complementado por um quadro cronológico dos inícios até hoje, assim como textos do contexto de impacto e de efeito do livro. Doenças de todos os países, uni-vos!

Named a Best Book of the Year for the Know-It-All by The Globe and Mail In this richly illustrated volume, a leading neurobiologist presents fascinating stories of plant migration that reveal unexpected connections between nature and culture. When we talk about migrations, we should study plants to understand that these phenomena are unstoppable. In the many different ways plants move, we can see the incessant action and drive to spread life that has led plants to colonize every possible environment on earth. The history of this relentless expansion is unknown to most people, but we can begin our exploration with these surprising tales, engagingly told by Stefano Mancuso. Generation after generation, using spores, seeds, or any other means available, plants move in the world to conquer new spaces. They release huge quantities of spores that can be transported thousands of miles. The number and variety of tools through which seeds spread is astonishing: we have seeds dispersed by wind, by rolling on the ground, by animals, by water, or by a simple fall from the plant, which can happen thanks to propulsive mechanisms, the swaying of the mother plant, the drying of the fruit, and much more. In this accessible, absorbing overview, Mancuso considers how plants convince animals to transport them around the world, and how some plants need particular animals to spread; how they have been able to grow in places so inaccessible and inhospitable as to remain isolated; how they resisted the atomic bomb and the Chernobyl disaster; how they are able to bring life to sterile islands; how they can travel through the ages, as they sail around the world.

Is violent self-defense ethical? In the history of colonialism, racism, sexism, capitalism, there has long been a dividing line between bodies "worthy of defending" and those who have been disarmed and rendered defenseless. In 1685, for example, France's infamous "Code Noir" forbade slaves from carrying weapons, under penalty of the whip. In nineteenth-century Algeria, the colonial state outlawed the use of arms by Algerians, but granted French settlers the right to bear arms. Today, some lives are seen to be worth so little that Black teenagers can be shot in the back for appearing "threatening" while their killers are understood, by the state, to be justified. That those subject to the most violence have been forcibly made defenseless raises, for any movement of liberation, the question of using violence in the interest of self-defense. Here, philosopher Elsa Dorlin looks across the global history of the left - from slave revolts to the knitting women of the French Revolution and British suffragists' training in ju-jitsu, from the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising to the Black Panther Party, from queer neighborhood patrols to Black Lives Matter - to trace the politics, philosophy, and ethics of self defense. In this history she finds a "martial ethics of the self": a practice in which violent self defense is the only means for the oppressed to ensure survival and to build a liveable future. In this sparkling and provocative book, drawing on theorists from Thomas Hobbes to Fred Hampton, Frantz Fanon to Judith Butler, Michel Foucault to June Jordan, Dorlin has reworked the very idea of modern governance and political subjectivity. Translated from the French by Kieran Aarons.

Marilene Felinto is one of a new wave of young Brazilian writers, and her work is among the very best. Born in 1957 in the northeast of Brazil, she moved to São Paulo in early adolescence and completed her university education there. Her fiction connects the striking contrasts of a young woman's experience and the cross-purposes of modern Brazil. In The Women of Tijucopapo nothing can be taken for granted since everything might be taken away. Risia is a heroine little interested in being heroic All she wants is for her life "to have a happy ending." To find it she must go back to Tijucopapo, where her mother was born. One moonlit night her grandmother gave away a baby, and that baby was Risia's mother. Sharing the trauma of her mother's miserable marriage, Risia recollects and invents tales of Tijucopapo in the happier days before she was born. When she was a little girl she clung to the idea that she would kill her father for the way he treated women. Now; a woman herself, Risia hasn't lost the urge to kill. The time is ripe for it—war is in the air. Amid the disruptions of discovery and revolution, Risia walks toward Tijucopapo. Step by step she goes farther through the forest, closer to Tijucopapo, to find the beautiful side of her shamelessness, to leave behind her losses.

One of the most widely read feminist texts of the twentieth century, and Monique Wittig’s most popular novel, Les Guérillères imagines the attack on the language and bodies of men by a tribe of warrior women. Among the women’s most powerful weapons in their assault is laughter, but they also threaten literary and linguistic customs of the patriarchal order with bullets. In this breathtakingly rapid novel first published in 1969, Wittig animates a lesbian society that invites all women to join their fight, their circle, and their community. A path-breaking novel about creating and sustaining freedom, the book derives much of its energy from its vaunting of the female body as a resource for literary invention.

The act of love is of no importance, since it can be performed indefinitely.' With that remark, the gentleman adventurer Andre Marcueil sets into motion an outrageous plot of scientific experiments nd technological heroism focused on author Alfred Jarry's trinity of obsessions: sex, alcohol, and bicycles. Like a mock Jules Verne, Jarry describes the manner in which the 'Supermale' ultimately proves his claim; after 82 times with a woman, attending doctors hooks him up to a machine instead with whom he merges in the book's final climax.'

This “passionate affirmation of the simple life” explores how walking has influenced history’s greatest thinkers—from Henry David Thoreau and John Muir to Gandhi and Nietzsche (Observer) “It is only ideas gained from walking that have any worth.” —Nietzsche In this French bestseller, leading thinker and philosopher Frédéric Gros charts the many different ways we get from A to B—the pilgrimage, the promenade, the protest march, the nature ramble—and reveals what they say about us. Gros draws attention to other thinkers who also saw walking as something central to their practice. On his travels he ponders Thoreau’s eager seclusion in Walden Woods; the reason Rimbaud walked in a fury, while Nerval rambled to cure his melancholy. He shows us how Rousseau walked in order to think, while Nietzsche wandered the mountainside to write. In contrast, Kant marched through his hometown every day, exactly at the same hour, to escape the compulsion of thought. Brilliant and erudite, A Philosophy of Walking is an entertaining and insightful manifesto for putting one foot in front of the other.

"We all have images that we find unwatchable, whether for ethical, political, or sensory-affective reasons. From news coverage of terror attacks to viral videos of police brutality, and from graphic horror films to incendiary artworks that provoke mass boycotts, many of the images in our media culture strike as beyond the pale of consumption. Yet what does it mean to proclaim a media object "unwatchable": disturbing, revolting, poor, tedious, or literally inaccessible? Appealing to a broad academic and general readership, Unwatchable offers multidisciplinary approaches to the vast array of troubling images that circulate in our global visual culture, from cinema, television, and video games through museums and classrooms to laptops, smart phones, and social media platforms. This anthology assembles 60 original essays by scholars, theorists, critics, archivists, curators, artists, and filmmakers who offer their own responses to the broadly suggestive question: What do you find unwatchable? The diverse answers include iconoclastic artworks that have been hidden from view, dystopian images from the political sphere, horror movies, TV advertisements, classic films, and recent award-winners"--
