Synopsis
In an uprising heard around the world, people in Argentina took to the streets on December 19th & 20th, 2001, shouting “¡Qué se vayan todos!” These words (All of them out!), and the thousands of people banging pots and pans, opened a period of intense social unrest and political creativity that led to the collapse of government after government. Neighborhoods organized themselves into hundreds of popular assemblies across the country, the unemployed workers movement acquired a new visibility, workers took over factories and businesses. Deeply involved in these movements were the activists who made up Colectivo Situaciones.
With the embers of that December’s aftermath still burning, Colectivo Situaciones militantly researched and wrote 19 and 20. Locating themselves among the “horizontally organized subjectivities that insisted on not being represented by politicians but maintaining and developing their own powers of political expression” that Micheal Hardt notes in his introduction, Colectivo Situaciones gathers, interrogates, and offers forth the words of unemployed workers, factory occupiers, insurgent intellectuals, and children of the disappeared. From their investigations is revealed the birth of a new social protagonism and the de-institutional power (potencia) they wield.
19 and 20 has been praised as this generation's 18th Brumaire and as Marx’s analysis of that struggle helped set the stage for, twenty years later, the Paris Commune we find ourselves here. Revisiting and exploring the forms of counterpower that emerged from the shadow of neoliberal rule we find the book's potencia has only grown. In the intervening years the analysis of Colectivo Situaciones has been passed from hand to hand and multitudes of citizens from different countries have learned their own ways to chant ¡Qué se vayan todos!, from Iceland to Tunisia, from Spain to Greece, from Tahrir Square to Black Lives Matter. Colectivo Situaciones’ practice of militant research--of engaging with movements’ own thought processes--resonates with everyone seeking to think current events and movements, and through that to gather the foundation of a commune for the 21st century.

Paperback. Condition: New. The federal government created a monster. They said it would keep us safe. The monster hatched in November 2002. It was named the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). An appetite for control and conquest was in its DNA. Its early influences, in the years after 9/11, were paranoia and vengeance. The DHS is the only new department the United States has spawned in this century. With its birth, issues that were previously seen as separate-immigration control, policing, and counter-terrorism-were brought into a single, sprawling entity. Twenty-two preexisting agencies were absorbed into what became the nation's third largest government department. Today it has a budget of over $100 billion and employs a quarter of a million people. Every danger is now conceived of as a threat to "homeland security," and as the 9/11 Commission said in 2003, "the American homeland is the planet.". Seller Inventory # LU-9781942173489

New contributors will be writing about the relevance of Colectivo Situaciones to mark the books publication Colectivo Situaciones member Veronica Gago is a leader of Argentinan feminist movements and has recently published in the US The popular assemblies and the worker occupied factories captured the imagination of activists for a decade--those ideas are ripe for a resurgence and many activist engaged the first time are now college professors This book can be sold equally well (& equally honestly) as a history of the uprising and a book of philosophy and theory The idea of militant research is one that is circulating broadly and, along with with Fred Moten's fugitive planning, informing the work of many scholar-activists. Anticipated excerpt in NACLA: Report on the Americas Colectivo Situaciones has also received press in art magazines and we will follow up those angles In addition to the new material this will be the first version actively marketed to a US readership.
