Logistics and Counterlogistics in an Age of Walled Flows Thursday, April 20, 19:00h @MaMa The logistics revolution has facilitated a truly global restructuring of capitalist production and circulation, such that a single consumer good, broken down into component parts, may circle the globe many times before it reaches its final destination. But the logistics “revolution” should, in fact, be thought of a counter-revolution, as it was undertaken chiefly in order to remove from labor its chief weapon against capital, the strike. From pipeline to border wall, proletarian struggles increasingly shift to the sphere of circulation. In the new reactionary populism of the late 2010s, the contradictions of the logistics revolution – accelerating the commodity and value flows, while controlling the movement of proletarians – come to the fore, as right-wing movements and politicians put forward a putative program of protectionism and isolation bound to conflict with the imperatives of multinational capital. The social movements of our day themselves absorb these contradictions at the level of strategy and tactics, crushed between the flow and the wall, forced to blockade and to dismantle, to obstruct and to remove all obstructions. Jasper Bernes is author of two books of poetry, Starsdown (2007) and We Are Nothing and So Can You (2015), and a scholarly book, The Work of Art in the Age of Deindustrialization (Stanford, 2017). He is presently at work on a book about revolution in the 21st century. Poems, essays, and other writings can be found in Modern Language Quarterly, Radical Philosophy, Endnotes, Lana Turner, The American Reader, Critical Inquiry and elsewhere. Together with Juliana Spahr and Joshua Clover, he edits Commune Editions. He lives in Berkeley with his family.

Jasper Bernes: Logistička (kontra)revolucija u doba ograđenih tokova četvrtak, 20.4.2017., 19:00h @ MaMa_Zagreb Revolucionarna transformacija sustava prijevoza roba koji povezuje pomorski, željeznički i cestovni promet omogućila je proteklih desetljeća restrukturiranje kapitalističke proizvodnje i cirkulacije na globalnoj razini: jedan proizvod, kada ga se rastavi na sastavne dijelove, može okružiti zemaljsku kuglu puno puta prije nego što stigne na svoje odredište. No, o logističkoj “revoluciji” trebali bismo razmišljati kao o kontrarevoluciji, budući da je začeta prije svega da bi radnicima oduzela njihovo glavno oružje u borbi protiv kapitala – štrajk. Od naftovoda do zidova na granici, proleterske se borbe u sve većoj mjeri sele u sferu cirkulacije. U suvremenom, novom tipu reakcionarnog populizma kontradikcije logističke revolucije – ubrzavanje protoka roba i vrijednosti uz istodobnu strogu kontrolu kretanja proletera – izbijaju u prvi plan, dok desničarski pokreti i političari u ime naroda provode protekcionističke i izolacionističke programe koji su oprečni potrebama multinacionalnog kapitala. Postojeći društveni pokreti apsorbiraju ove kontradikcije na razini strategije i taktike: iz toga razloga se lome između kretanja i zastoja, potrebe za očuvanjem nekih organizacijskih formi i prisile za njihovim rasformiranjem, zahtijeva da se neki procesi zapriječe i da se uklone sve zapreke. Jasper Bernes autor je dviju knjiga poezije, Starsdown (2007) i We Are Nothing and So Can You (2015), kao i znanstvene monografije The Work of Art in the Age of Deindustrialization (Stanford, 2017). Trenutno radi na knjizi o revoluciji u 21. stoljeću. Njegove pjesme, eseji i drugi tekstovi objavljeni su u časopisima Modern Language Quarterly, Radical Philosophy, Endnotes, Lana Turner, The American Reader, Critical Inquiry i drugima. U suradnji Julianom Spahr i Joshuom Cloverom, uređuje časopis Commune Editions. Živi u Berkeleyju s obitelji. Predavanje Jaspera Bernesa održat će se u sklopu programa “Politički tehnotop” Multimedijalnog instituta, a priređeno je u suradnji s festivalom “Moje, tvoje, naše” koji Drugo more organizira 20-22.4. u Rijeci (http://drugo-more.hr/moje-tvoje-nase-2017/).
