Craig Saper, associate professor of Language, Literacy and Culture, has published a new book under his alter-ego ofdj readies.
Intimate Bureaucracies is a history from the future looking backward at our present moment as a turning point. Our systems of organization and control appear unsustainable and brutal, and we are feeling around in the dark for alternatives. Using experiments in social organization in downtown New York City, and other models of potential alternative social organizations, this manifesto makes a call to action to study and build sociopoetic systems. It is published by Punctum Books.
The book is also a part of the AK Press Tactical Media Project, which makes short, timely political interventions freely available in download and zine form. More information about the book, including a link where it can be downloaded for free, is available here.
