Greg Seigworth @gregseigworth.bsky.social · Nov 16

While we’d much prefer to read your abstract and offer any necessary revisions on the abstract or a completed submission as early as possible, you can also submit your paper for review on December 31 without having submitted an earlier abstract.

Greg Seigworth @gregseigworth.bsky.social · Nov 16

Please send a working title and opening paragraph/short overview to [email protected] by Dec 10, 2024. This allows us to see how the volume is shaping up, to see what’s missing, to figure out how to frame and introduce the pieces, etc.

So, then, will this be a book? a zine? a manifesto? a glossary? a manual for living? Maybe all of these, and something yet unforeseen.

Greg Seigworth @gregseigworth.bsky.social · Nov 16

That’s the aim of this project: to forge a place where we can gather up our respective orientation/disorientations and capacities/debilities to …intervene in, mess with, fuck up, turn over, probe and prick and deflate a furiously expanding fascism.
