Description
In this poetical-philosophical manifesto, Gerald Raunig develops a materialist philosophy of multiplicity. On the basis of seventeen conceptual innovations – from windy kin to transversal intellect, from dissemblage to technecologies, from minor masculinity to condividual revolution – Raunig reformulates the question of revolutionary multiplicity.
Always staying close to contemporary social struggles and movements, the book starts from the contention that we are in need of a storm against identitarian domination, unification, and homogeneity. Raunig argues that the conceptual and political experimentations with multiplicity around and after 1968 did not go far enough: today, anti-identitarian, queer, and multitudinarian positions should not just be defended but pushed further, over unexpected folds and along the flattest surfaces, beyond previous approaches and previous historical experiences.
Making Multiplicity is a conceptual manifesto which sets a new tone in poststructural philosophy. The seventeen concepts developed here form an assemblage that invites us to think, read, write, and indeed, make multiplicity.

Solar Politics
Solar Politics is a philosophical essay on the sun. It draws on Georges Bataille’s theories of the solar economy and solar violence, demonstrating their relevance to a world affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change. The sun, which has played an essential role in our utopian imaginations since Antiquity, is the ultimate source of energy, both productive and destructive....Paperback$2399Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 3-4 weeks -
Psychocinema
Psychocinema reexamines the connection between psychoanalysis and film, arguing for a return to the universalist core of both cinema and subjectivity. It traces the history of the influence of psychoanalysis on cinema and illustrates how the detour into ideologies of identity and difference eclipses the premise of the first and the emancipatory power of the second. The book argues that...Paperback$2399Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 3-4 weeks -
Disavowal
This book argues that the psychoanalytic concept of disavowal best renders the structure underlying our contemporary social response to traumatic and disturbing events, from climate change to unsettling tectonic shifts in our social tissue. Unlike denialism and negation, disavowal functions by fully acknowledging what we disavow. Zupančič contends that disavowal, which sustains some belief by means of ardently proclaiming the...Paperback$2399Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 3-4 weeks -
Becoming an Artwork
Modern history is a history of aesthetisations – and every aesthetisation raises a claim of protection. We aestheticise and want to protect almost everything, including Earth, oceans, the atmosphere, rare animal species, and exotic plants. Humans are no exception. They also present themselves as objects of contemplation that deserve admiration and care. For some time, artists and intellectuals struggled for...Paperback$3599Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 3-4 weeks -
America
What position does America occupy in the recent history of Western philosophy? At once the destination for a series of fantasies and the place from which a new relationship to thought originated, America incarnates a dark continent whose strangeness and singularity has driven thinkers outside of their own philosophical comfort zone—often forcing them to show anger, anxiety, or desire towards...Paperback$2399Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 3-4 weeks -
The Refusalist International
The many mass protests that have taken place since 2011 have been characterised by an unmistakable need to challenge, overthrow, and destroy the prevailing political representations without proposing new ones. The protests are not concerned with replacing the current government or leader with others, and thus getting a better version of what we already have. Instead, they refuse all leaders,...Paperback$2399Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 3-4 weeks -

Future Metaphysics
The triumph of technological rationality and of the sciences as a whole has by no means provided answers to humanity’s great questions. Instead, it has raised new and old questions and problems.

Hydrojustice
This is a book about justice, but not as we know it. Andreas Philippopoulos-Mihalopoulos argues that justice is always hydrojustice – that is, always defined in relation to water, the element that constitutes and unites all bodies, human and nonhuman. Hence justice is not an ideal state reached through merely human procedures (legal, political, economic, etc.) but also a planetary...Paperback$2399Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 3-4 weeks -

Nomography
What if the most joyful act was not to transgress a norm but to erect it? What if creativity consisted in enunciating a law under the pretext of violating it?

The Dark Forest Theory of the Internet
The Dark Forest Theory of the Internet investigates how intelligence—human and artificial—manifests under conditions of secrecy, hostility, and concealment.
