[iDC] Fwd: 21st Century

[Saul Ostrow]

So here is the primary point I'm trying to theorized : what is the political ( the affect on the economy of power) of socio-cultural aesthetic production versus cultural production - does the socio-cultural represent an advance in the rhetorical modeling of the political sphere?

Saul, here's one.

The Paris-based collective castillo/corrales <http://www.castillocorrales.fr/galerie/apropos.html><http://www.castillocorrales.fr/galerie/apropos.html> , working as Section 7 books <http://www.castillocorrales.fr/section7/section7.html><http://www.castillocorrales.fr/section7/section7.html> , has organized several forums to discuss publication, in the course of which some theoretical frameworks have been developed. One is the following definition, which I proposed last Fall when Section 7 convened a 3-day colloquium <http://www.castillocorrales.fr/galerie/index.php/2009/01/22/26-un-mouvement-agreable-dans-les-idees><http://www.castillocorrales.fr/galerie/index.php/2009/01/22/26-un-mouvement-agreable-dans-les-idees>  on publishing and distribution (at Montehermoso in Vitoria, Spain).

"Publication is not the production of books but the production of a public for whom those books have meaning. There is no pre-existing public. The public is created through deliberate, willful acts: the circulation of texts, discussions and gatherings in physical space, and the maintenance of a related digital commons. These construct a common space of conversation, a public space, which beckons a public into being. This is publication in its fullest sense." (podcast of that session here <http://suddenly.org/?p=683><http://suddenly.org/?p=683> .)

This Fall, Montehermoso is publishing texts that emerged from that gathering as UN AGREABLE MOUVEMENT DANS LES IDEES, with contrinutions from Section 7, Kim West, Melanie Gilligan, Will Holder, and Peio Aguirre.

Though Section 7 and castillo/corrales have mostly produced actions (improvising a bookstore, selling art, making art) the writing of core group members François Piron and Boris Gobile might also be relevant here.
