Pre­sen­tation by Minor Compositions:

In this series of essays Fred Moten and Stefano Harney draw on the theory and practice of the black radical tra­dition as it sup­ports, inspires, and extends con­tem­porary social and political thought and aes­thetic cri­tique. Today the general wealth of social life finds itself con­fronted by muta­tions in the mech­a­nisms of control, from the pro­lif­er­ation of cap­i­talist logistics through gov­er­nance by credit and man­agement of ped­agogy. Working from and within the social poesis of life in the under­commons Moten and Harney develop and expand an array of con­cepts: study, debt, sur­round, planning, and the shipped. On the fugitive path of an his­torical and global blackness, the essays in this volume unsettle and invite the reader to the self-organised ensembles of social life that are launched every day and every night amid the general antag­onism of the undercommons.”
