As the disasters of capitalism's current crisis continue to batter the world, Black Box: A Record of the Catastrophe is a device for recording, analysing and transmitting events as they happen. The first volume contains an eclectic but accessible collection of reportage, interviews and letters from some of the brightest minds in critical theory. Its authors have sent dispatches from US prison yards, shipping graveyards of India, fatal drone strikes, roads crisscrossing the Mississippi Delta, childhoods in Zimbabwe and kitchens staffed by undocumented workers.

The Black Box Collective emerged after several years of symposia, reading groups, philosophy camps and wood splitting. The poets, journalists, academics, metaphysicians, artists and strategists of the collective gather regularly at a retired dairy farm in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains north of Seattle to explore themes of consciousness, community and circulation of the communizing current - and to discover and assemble a critique that will wake us from the dream world that is seamlessly reproduced by capitalist culture. The first volume of BLACK BOX was assembled by Nadya Zimmerman, Eirik Steinhoff, Stuart Smithers, Brendan Kiley and Bethany Jean Clement, with assistance from many others.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. As the serial disasters of capitalism's current crisis-economic, political, environmental-continue to batter the world, Black Box: A Record of the Catastrophe is a device for recording, analyzing, and transmitting events as they happen. But it offers neither dire predictions nor false hopes. Instead, it embraces the mystery of what might transpire. The word "catastrophe" has not always signified "disaster"; during the sixteenth century, especially in theater, it came to mean "a reversal of what is expected." Black Box is ultimately a documentary project, a record of the catastrophe, but it's an open question where the inquiry will take us. It may be a record of the disastrous end. Or it may be a record of the turning.The first volume contains an eclectic but accessible collection of reportage, interviews, letters, fragments, and theoretical responses from some of the brightest minds in critical theory. Its authors have sent dispatches from American prison yards, the shipping graveyards of India, fatal overseas drone strikes, roads crisscrossing the Mississippi Delta, childhoods in revolutionary Zimbabwe, and kitchens where undocumented workers wash dishes. By taking a broad geographical and aesthetic stance, Black Box will be a constellation of ideas and information that points toward the future-whatever it may hold.Contributors to Black Box include scholars (Nina Power, Silvia Federici, Sami Khatib, Chris O'Kane, Tanya Erzen), cultural critics (Richard Dyer, Charles Mudede), authors (Ursula K. Le Guin, Miranda Mellis), poets (Emily Abendroth, Cathy Wagner, Alli Warren), and many others. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
