"By excavating the urban struggles of 1970s Italy with a spatialized understanding of Operaismo’s signature theoretical contribution––class composition––the book provides both an important contribution to radical urban history and a window into how current urban struggles might be theorized." ❤️‍🔥 ❤️‍🔥 ❤️‍🔥

Social reproduction theory shows how capitalism depends on life’s renewal. In Palestine, settler colonialism wages war by obstructing that renewal at every turn.

Making Death and Life in Palestine edited by Tithi Bhattacharya and Susan Ferguson is OUT NOW!

The book is edited by Tithi Bhattacharya and Susan Ferguson, with the subtitle 'Social Reproduction in Settler Colonialism.' To the right of the book is a quote reading: 'A theoretically grounded and politically urgent book.' —Sara Farris, University of London. The background is solid dark blue, with a small white Pluto logo in the bottom right corner.

THIIIS: "It's the connection between the shit private production provides in the market and the miracles women are supposed to perform with it inside the family that's really the key. The cutting edge of consumption work isn’t procuring but *taking up the slack*…" (quoting Roz Petchesky)

"The Other Side of the Paycheck" (1976)

“The consumption worker, unlike the wage laborer, has no singular and obvious antagonists, but many antagonists: the state, the supermarket, the landlord, etc.”

‘“Resistance” spans the hundred years or so during which the photographic print was the primary medium of visual communication. Aesthetically and technically, this makes sense. Politically, however, it’s curious.’

So much bad news, but this fall the Metro NY Library Cncl is launching the first iteration of its Cross-Reference Coalition, an experimental interdisciplinary school ft 17 participants from across NYC’s libraries, colleges + municipal depts, plus artists + designers. We’re exploring The Misfit.
The Cross-Reference Coalition, a new experimental school hosted by METRO's Creative Research team, is launching its first class on September 25! A cohort of 17 - including representatives from the After Violence Project, the Brooklyn Public Library, the CUNY Grad Center, the New York City College of Technology, the New York City Department of Records, the New York City Department of Transportation, New York City Public Schools, New York University, Poets House, the Pratt Institute, the Prime Produce Apprentice Cooperative, the Queens Public Library, and a range of arts and design organizations — will explore The Misfit throughout the fall, then collectively edit a book in the spring. We'll share all of our course materials (check METRO's newsletter for links!), and we'll host new courses on new themes each fall and spring!
