[Marxism] SEMIOTEXT(E) Book Launch this Sunday in NEW YORK: The Coming Insurrection by the Invisible Committee

SEMIOTEXT(E) Book Launch: The Coming Insurrection by the Invisible Committee

“Two centuries of capitalism and market nihilism have brought us to the 
most extreme alienations—from ourselves, from others, from worlds. The 
fiction of the individual has decomposed with the same speed that it 
once became real. Children of the metropolis, we offer this wager: that 
it’s in the most profound deprivation of existence—perpetually stifled, 
perpetually conjured away—that the possibility of communism resides.”
—/The Coming Insurrection/, Introduction to the English edition

THE COMING INSURRECTION has been labeled a “manual for terrorism” by the 
French government, who recently arrested its alleged authors. 
Philosopher *Giorgio Agamben* has called the book “one of the most 
intelligent works of our time” and numerous commentators have seen it as 
a heir to the legacy of situationist *Guy Debord*. Meanwhile, bootleg 
translations have circulated around the world and passages from the book 
appeared on the walls of Athens during last December’s uprising.

Anonymously written (by the Invisible Committee) in the wake of the 
riots that erupted throughout the Paris suburbs in the fall of 2005, THE 
COMING INSURRECTION articulates a rejection of the official Left and its 
reformist agenda, aligning itself instead with the growing number of 
those—in France, in the United States, and elsewhere—who refuse the idea 
that theory, politics, and life are separate realms.

Please join us for a book launch and signing by the Invisible Committee, 
including discussion of the text, on Sunday, June 14 at 5pm on the 
fourth floor of Union Square Barnes and Noble.
