They are at once an appropriation, recontextualization, and a liberation of […]

Demotivational Training

Demotivational Training by Guillaume Paoli Today the managers want nothing less than to make every employee a situationist, enjoining them to be spontaneous, creative, autonomous, freewheeling, unattached, and greeting the precariousness of their lives with open arms. Trying to outdo this would be absurd. On the other hand, limiting the critique to the domain of […]

The Masters Tools: Warfare and Insurgent Possibility

The Masters Tools: Warfare and Insurgent Possibility by Tom Nomad Tactical dynamics are amoral, arational, particular dynamics of conflict, and effectiveness is the accomplishment of objectives within this dynamic of profound uncertainty and resistance.
