Summary:
In "Wonderflux" you will find yourself in front of disappearing mirrors held up to curators, critics, and artists; sailing through counterfactual universes; face-to-face with cold-blooded killers, faceless men, weary but buoyant prophets; all the while imbued with stubborn thriving and stubborn refusal to be moved or monetized, and once in a while having earnest(...)

Summary:
In "Wonderflux" you will find yourself in front of disappearing mirrors held up to curators, critics, and artists; sailing through counterfactual universes; face-to-face with cold-blooded killers, faceless men, weary but buoyant prophets; all the while imbued with stubborn thriving and stubborn refusal to be moved or monetized, and once in a while having earnest conversations with robot(s and) workers. The authors included here have shaped the varied concerns and urgencies of e-flux journal since 2008. As a theory-driven art journal made up entirely of hypertext and digital images and embraced by academic circles, we sometimes wonder about the artistic and sensual use of text and image. Does the thinking of some of our favorite authors also speak to a place beyond floods of automatic links and references and rectangular photographic portals? To a broader and more applied artistic domain like the imaginative sensibility of illustration, where entire worlds arise from the simple and deliberate placement of lines on paper?

Summary:
From its foundation in 1957 to its self-dissolution in 1972, the Situationist International established itself as one of the most radical revolutionary organisations of the twentieth century. This book brings together leading researchers on the SI to provide a comprehensive critical analysis of the group's key concepts and contexts, from its relationship to earlier artistic avant-gardes, romanticism, Hegelianism, the history of the workers' movement and May '68 to the concepts and practices of 'spectacle', 'constructed situations', 'everyday life' and 'detournement'. The volume also considers historically underexamined areas of the SI, including the situation of women in the group and its opposition to colonialism and racism. With contributions from a broad range of thinkers including Anselm Jappe and Michael Loewy, this account takes a fresh look at the complex workings of a group that has come to define radical politics and culture in the post-war period.

Summary:
Riots are extraordinary events that have been recurring with increasing frequency and occupy a highly controversial space in the political imagination. Despite their often negative portrayals, it is undeniable that riots have played a pivotal role in the confrontation between authority and dissent. Recently, with the deepening crises of capitalism, racial violence, and communal tension, an 'age of riots' has powerfully begun. As master fictions of the sovereign nation-state implode, and the hegemonic silencing of the dispossessed reveals the cracks in governability, 'Nights of the Dispossessed: Riots Unbound' brings together artistic works, political texts, critical urban analyses, and research projects from across the world in an endeavor to 'sense,' chronicle, and think through recent riots and uprisings - evoking a phenomenology of the multitude and surplus population.

This volume is informed by themes related to the work of Dodie Bellamy and revolves around questions related to contemporary forms of feminism and sexualities, the rebirth of the author, and ways in which vulnerability, perversion, vulgarity, and self-exposure can be forms of empowerment.

The visual elements are equally diverse, ranging from photographs to collage to drawing.

Summary:
Les peuples autochtones d'Amérique du Sud ont connu une forme de fin du monde au XVIe siècle après l'invasion de leurs terres par les Européens. Dans ce petit livre Ailton Krenak, figure éminente des luttes autochtones du Brésil, se demande en quoi cet héritage ne pourrait pas fournir un regard averti pour affronter les conséquences du nouveau régime climatique de l'Anthropocène. Cette parole, véritable anthropologie inversée, se situe au lieu d'un renversement de perspectives : avec la mutation en cours des conditions du maintien de la vie sur Terre, ne serait-ce pas l'humanité organisée sur les fondements de la modernité dont il serait plus à craindre qu'elle soit démunie des facultés d'adaptation requises ? Tout compte fait, ne serait-ce pas plutôt les peuples autochtones, par leurs ancestrales stratégies de résistance, qui pourraient indiquer une voie susceptible de retarder l'avancée « du désert et de la dévastation » engendrée par le surdéveloppement technocapitaliste ?

L’originalité du commentaire de Viveiros de Castro s’exprime de deux manières : 1. en proposant une analyse inédite de la réception philosophique de Clastres en France. 2. en montrant en quoi l’œuvre de Clastres a introduit une « révolution copernicienne » dans les théories classiques de l’anthropologie politique qui voudraient que l'État organisé fût la finalité de toute société. Viveiros de Castro se saisi du mot d’ordre de Clastres « société contre l’État » en faisant du signifiant « indigène » le mot d’ordre d’un Brésil « mineur » (Deleuze et Guattari : comme devenir résistant à une norme répressive). Pour montrer cela il développe l'idée de « politique indigène » qui, au regard de la crise environnementale, redéfini le politique selon nos capacités à habiter, partout localement, la Terre.

Du reste, Donatella Di Cesare enseigne cette discipline dans la plus ancienne institution universitaire d’Europe, La Sapienza à Rome. Que penser d’une démocratie immunitaire où les experts ont acquis des places de gouvernants et où l’état d’exception est permanent? Que dire de la « distanciation sociale » sinon qu’elle est l’élargissement du fossé entre les riches et ceux qui n’ont rien? Comment qualifier un virus capable d’annuler l’idée même de frontière? Comment qualifier les relations où chacun vit caché derrière son masque et où personne n’ose se toucher? Le virus a rendu manifeste la brutalité du capitalisme qui nous emporte dans sa spirale dévastatrice. « Ce qui se passe n’est pas une crise mais bien une catastrophe au ralenti. Le virus a bloqué le dispositif. Ce que l’on voit, c’est une convulsion planétaire, le spasme produit par la violence fébrile, l’accélération sans fin autre qu’elle-même qui a inexorablement atteint son point d’inertie. C’est une tétanisation du monde. » Est-ce un dernier signal d’alarme?

Summary:
Navigation begins where the map becomes indecipherable. Navigation operates on a plane of immanence in constant motion. Instead of framing or representing the world, the art of navigation continuously updates and adjusts multiple frames from viewpoints within and beyond the world. Navigation is thus an operational practice of synthesizing various orders of magnitude. Only a few weeks prior to his untimely death in 2014, Harun Farocki briefly referred to navigation as a contemporary challenge to montage—editing distinct sections of film into a continuous sequence—as the dominant paradigm of techno-political visuality. For Farocki, the computer-animated, navigable images that constitute the twenty-first century's "ruling class of images" call for new tools of analysis, prompting him to ask: How does the shift from montage to navigation alter the way images—and art—operate as models of political action and modes of political intervention?
