Voces subsistenciales Sara Jiménez Fernández During one of the seminars of the Programa de Estudios Radicales (PER) organized by Suburbia, dedicated to Gerald Raunig’s book Dissemblage and its translation into Spanish, a group of activist researchers drifted through the Lagunillas neighbourhood —the territory discussed in the song—asking neighbours what a “subsistential territory” meant to them. R...

Out of Joint Polio Brezina Starting with a certain clean digital quality, it gradually becomes rougher, more pixelated, degraded, and distorted—as an analogy to the digital environment, which, aside from the political, ideological, and social transformations in machinic capitalism, is quite simply spiraling and spinning out of control because everything is becoming increasingly complex. As digital...

ΠΝΥΞ - PNYX - Listening to minor voices Angela Melitopoulos / Kerstin Schrödinger The Pnyx is a rocky hill in the heart of Athens, surrounded by parkland. On its slope lies a vast platform of eroded rock, as well as the orator's stone. From 507 BC onwards, the Athenians gathered on the Pnyx to hold their political assemblies. In order to reduce the influence of oligarchic aristocracy on the politi...

These Versos Transversos reverberate the verses of Gerald Raunig´s song Far-Near and emerge from the pedagogical and political praxis of an organization of migrant women in Linz, Austria: das-kollektiv.at. They are verses that reverberate the profound distances and visceral proximities between educator and student along the path of reciprocal and transversal learning to read and write—words, the w...

Five saxophones haunt the vocals of "This Middle". Within a dense tapestry of sound, each one seeks to duplicate the vocals with its own voice. Between the lines, they swarm like insects and immediately regroup for the next verse, only to follow the voice at the center once more with renewed energy. The deliberate failure to achieve unison is intentional. Imperfectly synchronized, spreading out in...

This version is an electronic rendition, both vocally and instrumentally, of "Dividual Lines". It is an attempt at a trans(in)dividual expression of the dividual content of the lyrics. | Vocals and vocals effects, Guitar and Korg Kaoss Pad guitar effects and Drum programming on Kaossilator Ko-1 and Kaossilator Pro: Raúl Sánchez Cedillo

Beomora, Viennese funkrock band from the late 1980s, plays a disco version of the opener of „making multiplicity – conceptual songs“, Machinic Capitalism. Bring in an ultra clean Telecaster rhythm guitar, a funky-plucking slap bass, the unavoidable disco strings, and add them to the magical Rhodes and the voice on vinyl. And then just take all the resonant heads off the drums, stretch dish towels...

In seiner revolutionären psychiatrischen Praxis betont François Tosquelles, dass Institutionen nur dann Sorge tragen können, wenn sich alle um die Institution sorgen. Im Prozess der Instituierung erodiert die instituierende Sorge die Mauern der Institution, breitet sich auf die Umgebung aus und lässt sich transversal durchdringen. Als eine Form des Vagabundierens bleibt die instituierende Sorge sc...

In 1987, Francesc Tosquelles met a group of workers from the radical mental healthcare system of Trieste, started by Franco Basaglia: a by now famous gathering recorded by Maurizio Costantino and Giovanna Gallio in La scuola di libertà. What emerges, as in other conversations, is Tosquelles style of research and invention that advances by association and displacement: what he calls deconnage. The...

If your friends keep their spectacles on when sleeping, its only that they may see dreams more clearly. In this way reves and reveries, hallucinations and visions can become a second life. That vague subterranean land lights up little by little, and the pale, gravely immobile figures who inhabit the abode of limbo emerge from the shadows and the night. Then the image dividualizes, a new clarity il...

In his research on ‘extensive psychiatry’ and myokinesis with Mira i Lopez in Catalonia, and then on his flight from the Franco regime to France via the concentration camp Septfonds, Tosquelles conceived of the human body as perpetually moving— ‘always a migrant’. Displacement, foreignness, madness became for him essential features of being human. They constituted the point of departure not only f...

In the summer of 1944, philosopher Georges Canguilhem spent several weeks hiding and caring for wounded patients in the psychiatric clinic of Saint-Alban as a ‘resistance-physician’. During this time, Canguilhem took part in the clinical work carried out at Saint-Alban, among other things by examining and observing the patient ‘Mme. C…’. In return, as it were, Tosquelles, Bonnafé and others read a...
