Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Womb transplant babies 'within three years.' 'If implantable wombs become a reality in humans, they need not be confined to women. Some men might also be keen.' Guardian, July 2003 Having exhausted the possibilities for geographic colonial expansion, as well as reaching the fiscal limitations of virtual space, capital is now concentrated on exploiting a new frontier -- organic molecular space. Critical Art Ensemble began mapping this development in Flesh Machine (Autonomedia, 1998) by examining the use of reproductive technologies and their promise for achieving an intensified degree of control over worker and citizen. The Molecular Invasion acts as a companion to this first book by mapping the politics of transgenics, and offering a model for the creation of a contestational biology, as well as providing direct interventionist tactics for the disruption of this new assault on the organic realm. The Molecular Invasion is an indispensable user's guide for anyone interested in the critical thinking and practice of biotech as a social, scientific, and political phenomenon.

Metzger. 1-3/4-inch soft diagonal crease to bottom corner of front wrap. In a special building at the electrically illuminated Chicago World's Fair of 1893, Nikola Tesla was the hero of the age, "seen receiving through his hands currents of more than 200,000 volts, . . . manifesting themselves in dazzling streams of light. . . In Sing Sing, Dannemora, Auburn, prisoners waited in cages to be strapped into a chair, killed, and quickly forgotten. But Tesla stood before awed crowds, a tall gaunt man who played with the basic constituents of nature, like a shaman or priest. Celebrated as the greatest electrical genius of his century, he was transformed by the same "godlike power" which, in secret basement chambers, cooked prisoners to death, nameless sacrificial animals." 191 pp. including Notes and Bibliography.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Anarchy in Alifuru reclaims the stories of the stateless societies of eastern Indonesia, revealing a world where political authority was earned, not inherited, and communities thrived through consensus rather than command. Drawing from early European travelogues, oral folklore, and anarchist anthropology, Bima Satria Putra invites us into a realm where power was shared, and hierarchy was optional. This groundbreaking work flips the script on conventional Indonesian historiography. Instead of focusing on sultanates like Ternate and Tidore, it explores the Alifuru World: a vibrant mosaic of decentralized island societies who chose autonomy over submission. Through vivid accounts of communal deliberations and egalitarian leadership, Putra illustrates how these societies resisted both Islamic state-building and European colonial conquest by refusing to be governed. Anarchy in Alifuru is a meditation on freedom and the human desire to live without domination. For readers of James C. Scott and David Graeber, this book offers a powerful testament to the ingenuity of societies often dismissed as primitive. In a world increasingly shaped by centralized power, the story of the Alifuru reminds us that another way of organizing life not only existed, but thrived. A cartography of freedom drawn in saltwater and smoke - Putra resurrects the forgotten rebel genius of the archipelago, where power dissolved like mist and the State never took root.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. An infinite series of bifurcations: this is how we can tell the story of our life, of our loves, but also the history of revolts, defeats and restorations of order. At any given moment different paths open up in front of us, and we are continually presented with the alternative of going here or going there. Then we decide, we cut out from a set of infinite possibilities and choose a single path. But do we really choose? Is it really a question of a choice, when we go here rather than there? Is it really a choice, when masses go to shopping centers, when revolutions are transformed into massacres, when nations enter into war? It is not we who decide but the concatenations: machines for the liberation of desires and mechanisms of control over the imaginary. The fundamental bifurcation is always this one: between machines for liberating desire and mechanisms of control over the imaginary. In our time of digital mutation, technical automatisms are taking control of the social psyche. An infinite series of bifurcations - this is how we can tell the story of our life, of our loves, but also the history of revolts, defeats and restorations of order. At any given moment, different paths open up in front of us, and we are continually presented with the alternative of going here or going there.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. To belong is never a simple matter. For Erin Manning, ancestry has always been more of an entanglement than a strict lineage: a collection of stories, fabulations, and echoes of the past. Unsettled is a deeply personal and philosophical exploration of ancestry, identity, and belonging, particularly within the context of Quebec's settler-colonial history and its complex relationship with Indigeneity. Here Manning describes her relationship with a close friend, R., who has lived a life shaped by poverty, subsistence farming, and a profound connection with the land. When R.'s mother bequeaths him their family land, he is left to navigate the tensions of inheritance, loss, and belonging. In an attempt to connect to R.'s Indigenous background, Manning offers to trace his genealogy. Soon, questions of what it means to 'bestow' Indigeneity from an ancestral perspective begin to loom. Manning explores and critiques the practice of usurping Indigeneity in Quebec, where claims of Metis ancestry are often leveraged for social or political gain, ultimately reinforcing whiteness and colonial structures rather than dismantling them. Through the lens of personal relationships, historical analysis, and philosophical inquiry, Unsettled challenges conventional notions of ancestry, property, and identity, while advocating for relational belonging over bloodline essentialism.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. The Midnight Notes Collective looks here not only at Mexico's Zapatista revolution directly, but also at its enlightening and heating effects on the new social struggles elsewhere (in Canada, India, Yugoslavia, the United States) against the latest forms of capitalism, "neo-liberalism" and "globalization." This book aims to provide a special slant of light illuminating the slow and often unconscious formation of an "anti-globalization" movement - a movement confronting a collective body of social capital rapidly and self-consciously operating on a global level in the last decades - and creating what the Zapatistas call "the Fourth World War." A study of Mexico's Zapatista revolution and its enlightening and heating effects on the new social struggles worldwide.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Liaisons is an international editorial collective that gathers experiences from struggles around the world. For our second book, Horizons, we asked comrades whether it's still possible to envision revolution today, and to what extent classical notions of revolution might need to be rethought. Our inquiry received a variety of responses: while some emphasize the absence of revolutionary horizons or search for lessons among the experiments and failures of the past, others suggest revolution might be re-conceived as the gradual growth of a revolutionary force and the accumulation of 'partial victories.' With ten texts from France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Sudan, and the US, Horizons is a planetary attempt to rethink and renew the revolutionary tradition in the twenty-first century.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Fascism is not just a historical event - it is a recurring process, adapting and re-emerging in new forms. In Toward a Theory of Fascism for Anti-Fascist Life Brian Massumi offers a conceptual framework for understanding fascist tendencies as they unfold in contemporary politics. Moving beyond rigid definitions, this book provides a vocabulary of key concepts that trace how fascism operates, spreads, and takes root in the collective psyche. Drawing on process philosophy and political theory, Massumi challenges conventional understandings of power, personality, and collectivity, inviting readers to think critically about the conditions that enable authoritarianism's resurgence. Designed as both a standalone primer and a companion to The Personality of Power, this book offers a flexible and non-linear approach to political analysis. Readers can enter at any point, following the interwoven concepts as they build a deeper understanding of today's fascist dynamics and counterforces. More than an intellectual exercise, Toward a Theory of Fascism for Anti-Fascist Life is a call to action: an invitation to recognize the harbingers of fascism today.
