Tactical Reality Dictionary: Cultural Intelligence and Social Control - Konrad Becker
Culture is not just the expression of individual interests and orientations, manifested in groups according to rules and habits. It also offers identification with a system of values. The construction of cultural memory
and the establishing of a symbolic order through setting up mental and ideological spaces is a traditional practice of cultural engineering. Developments in electronic communication and di...

Between Dog & Wolf: Essays On Art and Politics, 2nd edition - David Levi-Strauss
In his first collection of essays, David Levi Strauss addresses the always conflicted relation between aesthetics and politics by concentrating on specific instances - from allopathic art to Desert Storm propaganda, from Columbus's legacy to Robert Smithson's prophecies, and from new art in post-Soviet Russia to public art in the United States - and by focusing on the work of artists such as various as Grune...

Politics is Not a Banana: The Journal of Vulgar Discourse
I am at a bit of a loss as to how to describe this (though i could read you some funny passages), so I will quote IEF:

"The book is a collection of texts, images, and design sensibilities which combine insurrectional theory, critical theory, and post-structuralist inquiries about power and subjectivization with experimental fiction, flarf poetry, Brechtian pornography, and Swiss-influenced post-ironic...

The German Issue - Sylvère Lotringer (Editor)
The German Issue was originally conceived as a follow-up to Semiotext(e)'s Autonomia/Italy issue, which was published two years earlier. Although ideological terrorism was still a major issue in Germany, what ultimately emerged from these pages was an investigation of two outlaw cities, Berlin and New York, which embodied all the tensions and contradictions of the world at the time. The Germ...

Social Anarchism - Howard Ehrlich (Editor)
Contemporary anarchist thought from the U.S.A. Serious writing: critical texts, verse and good graphics. Always a hefty review section. This is one of few (ir)regular anarchist publications still coming out in North America. I don't think there's been a bad issue yet.

Imaginal Machines: Autonomy & Self-Organization in the Revolutions of Everyday Life - Stevphen Shukaitis
All power to the imagination? Over the past forty years to invoke the imagination as a basis for radical politics has become a cliché: a rhetorical utilization of ideas already in circulation, invoking the mythic unfolding of this self-institutionalizing process. But what exactly is radical imagination? Drawing from autonomist politics, class composition analysis, and avant-garde arts, Imaginal Mac...

Precarious Rhapsody: Semocapitalism and the Pathologies of Post-Alpha Generation - Erik Empson (Editor), Stevphen Shukaitis (Editor), and Franco "Bifo" Berardi
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 re...

Strategic Reality Dictionary - Konrad Becker
"With his seventy-two keys, Konrad Becker aims to unlock the gates of strategic reality: its construction over centuries, its imposition through stealth and force, its dull and laborious maintenance, and its dissolution and destruction by those who can't take it anymore." —Brian Holmes

"Having come to the end of the Strategic Reality Dictionary, readers will know there is a deep contradic...
