London, March 15: Brian Holmes Book Release, "Unleashing the Collective Phantoms" Saturday March 15th, 6:30 PM book launch Unleashing the Collective Phantoms: Essays In Reverse Imagineering by Brian Holmes Come join us to celebrate the release of Brian Holmes’ new book Unleashing the Collective Phantoms. These insurgent essays describe, prolong and critique some of the cultural and artistic projects that arose with the worldwide wave of protests around the turn of the millennium, against what the global South calls neoliberalism. Dissent and the refusal of a programmed existence continually return to the streets; but they also unfold in the imagination. Hosted by Autonomedia (www.autonomedia.org) and Mute Magazine (www.metamute.org) Housmans Bookshop The Art of Rent Spring 2008 University of London, Queen Mary As part of an ongoing collective project, the organisers of this seminar series seek to promote a discussion on the rise of rent as a form of capitalist appropriation and the way that new levels of association in the arts and culture, in information and communication, in public taste and ambience have made this rise possible, and from the perspective of private accumulation, necessary. To this end, the seminar brings together various perspectives on the Art of Rent taking in analysis of cognitive capitalism, of the financialisation of the quotidian and the bodily, of gentrification and the metroversity, of new international division of labour and of governance. The seminar will conclude with a special two-day event in September on the cultural industries. Behind this series is the sense that the Art of Rent is a reaction to a new collective power among bodies assembled to labour and a capacity for ensemble in the social individual, all provoked by the migrations of work into culture, language, and affect and the work of migrations into these registers of life. For those who work in the university, in the arts, and in politics long seeking to subvert the relationship between innovation and wage, the rise of the relationship between innovation and rent calls not for subversion but sabotage of the creative process. Seminars will feature presentation from the speakers followed by structured discussion and questions and answers. Presentations to be made by Carlo Vercellone, Matteo Pasquinelli, Christian Marazzi, Randy Martin, Costas Lapavitsas, Sandro Mezzadra, Xiang Biao, Judith Revel, Stefano Harney, and others.
