    Fractal

    For your quick or leisurely perusal, the compilation of Long Sunday's recent symposium on Mario Tronti's "The Strategy of the Refusal", and some remarks.  The multitudinous, but alphabetised, contributions:

    »Jon Beasley-Murray, The new barbarians
    »Eric Beck, Minor refusals
    »George Ciccariello-Maher, Class and subalternity
    »Jodi Dean, Two questions on Tronti [follow-up]
    »Roger Gathman Fantasy sites and the conquistadors of the planet
    »Nate Hawthorne, Notes on "The Strategy of the Refusal"
    »John Holloway, Adorno meets Tronti
    »Doug Johnson, Intellectuals, the refusal of power, office workers' unions
    »Brian Lamb, I would prefer not to bore you
    »Craig McFarlane, Refusing to engage
    »David McInerney, Tronti and Althusser
    »Angela Mitropoulos, When will this labour end?
    »Brett Neilson, Five theses on Tronti
    »Stephen Squibb, Strategy of refusal of strategy
    »Keith Tilford, How no can you go? Part I [Part II]

    The preamble to the Long Sunday symposium, which includes links to related texts.  The relevant essay by Tronti is here, and a quick link to Long Sunday's Tronti folder. 

    There were also a number of related posts elsewhere:  Destructive Creation, Northanger, Going Somewhere, Philosophy.com, pas au-delà, Attitude Adjustor. (Those are the most directly related to the discussion, though I wouldn't be surprised if I've missed some.)  And, not least, there is always the ongoing reading at Leggiamo Tronti.

    My immense gratitude to all those who contributed their writings, readings and questions - those who simply took the time to read along with, and specifically those, such as Matt, who spent much time coding and uploading.

    Already, Jon has the ball rolling for another reading, and I'm hoping that blogweaving continues, mutates and grows.  Not only because it creates a shared conversation that cuts across various blogs without converging along the one line, but also because - in ways that have yet to be fully explored - it marks an autonomy of writing, reading and research from the university that, particularly in times such as these, becomes an imperative.  Needless to say, what we read and write is related to how we read and write, no less than it is to the diificult questions of who, how and why this 'we' might appear, in that process.

    Many thanks for the adventure.
