WARK MCKENZIE

ΤΟ ΚΕΦΑΛΑΙΟ ΠΕΘΑΝΕ
Στο νέο ριζοσπαστικό και οραματικό της βιβλίο, η McKenzie Wark υποστηρίζει ότι η πληροφορία έχει υπάρξει τόσο η προϋπόθεση όσο και το κίνητρο για την ανάδυση ενός νέου είδους άρχουσας τάξης. Μέσα από την κατοχή και τον έλεγχο της πληροφορίας, αυτή η αναδυόμενη τάξη μπορεί να κυριαρχεί όχι μόνο στην εργασία αλλά και στο ίδιο το κεφάλαιο όπως το αντιλαμβανόμαστε παραδοσιακά. Εταιρείες όπως η Walmart και η Nike έχουν πλέον την δυνατότητα να κυριαρχούν σε ολόκληρη την αλυσίδα παραγωγής έχοντας στην ιδιοκτησία τους επωνυμίες, πατέντες, copyrigh...

(P/B) GENERAL INTELLECTS
What happened to the public intellectuals that used to challenge and inform us? Who is the Sartre or De Beauvoir of the internet age? General Intellects argues we no longer have such singular figures, but there are, instead, general intellects whose writing could, if read collectively, explain our times. Covering topics such as culture, politics, work, technology, and the Anthropocene, each chapter is a concise account of an individual thinker, providing useful context and connections to the work of the others. McKenzie Wark's distinctive ...

(P/B) THE BEACH BENEATH THE STREET
The acclaimed, readable history of the Situationist International by the author of A Hacker Manifesto.

McKenzie Wark delves into the Situationists' unacknowledged diversity, revealing a world as rich in practi...

(P/B) MOLECULAR RED
In Molecular Red, McKenzie Wark creates philosophical tools for the Anthropocene, our new planetary epoch, in which human and natural forces are so entwined that the future of one determines that of the other. Wark explores the implications of Anthropocene through the story of two empires, the Soviet and then the American. The fall of the former prefigures that of the latter. From the ruins of these mighty histories, Wark salvages ideas to help us picture what kind of worlds collective labor might yet build. From the Russian revolution, Wa...

ΕΝΑ ΜΑΝΙΦΕΣΤΟ ΤΩΝ ΧΑΚΕΡ
Το "Μανιφέστο των χάκερ" ορίζει επιδέξια τη "φορτισμένη" περιοχή ανάμεσα στα διαρκώς πιο πιεστικά αιτήματα των φαρμακευτικών βιομηχανιών και των εταιριών που δραστηριοποιούνται στον χώρο των ΜΜΕ για την προστασία των ευρεσιτεχνιών και των πνευματικών δικαιωμάτων τους, και στη διάχυτη λαϊκή κουλτούρα του μοιράσματος της πληροφορίας και της πειρατείας. Αυτό το περιμάχητο έδαφος, η σφαίρα της αποκαλούμενης "πνευματικής ιδιοκτησίας", προκαλεί ένα τελείως νέο είδος ταξικής πάλης, που φέρνει αντιμέτωπους τους δημιουργούς της πληροφορίας -την τάξ...

(H/B) THE SPECTACLE OF DISINTEGRATION
Following his acclaimed history of the Situationist International up until the late sixties, The Beach Beneath the Street, McKenzie Wark returns with a companion volume which puts the late work of the Situationists in a broader and deeper context, charting their contemporary relevance and their deep critique of modernity. Wark builds on their work to map the historical stages of the society of the spectacle, from the diffuse to the integrated to what he calls the disintegrating spectacle. The Spectacle of Disintegration takes the reader th...

Tracing the group's development from the bohemian Paris of the '50s to the explo...

(H/B) A HACKER MANIFESTO
A double is haunting the world--the double of abstraction, the virtual reality of information, programming or poetry, math or music, curves or colorings upon which the fortunes of states and armies, companies and communities now depend. The bold aim of this book is to make manifest the origins, purpose, and interests of the emerging class responsible for making this new world--for producing the new concepts, new perceptions, and new sensations out of the stuff of raw data. A Hacker Manifesto deftly defines the fraught territory between th...
