According to Deleuze’s Pourparler the concept of “Control” can be ascribed to William Burroughs. Since the seventies, it is possible to trace a deep intellectual and political convergence between Deleuze and Bur- roughs. This has happened across three levels of analysis: control society, revolutionary communities and schizo-culture. This essay attempts an analysis of the relationship between these two giants of twentieth century counterculture by borrowing their ‘control’ perspective. With the critical figure of Foucault on the background, the crucial political and philosophical passage from “discipline” to “control” appears in all its monstrosity. The struggle against Control, according to Deleuze and Burroughs, must be perpetrated through the invention of literary and philosophical “war machines” which try to hide from established knowledge and dominant powers by gathering in communities made of unassimilable singularities. Burroughs’ untraceable and diagrammatic critique seems ever more precious as it is completely strange to the conformism of contemporary critical thought.
Obsolete Capitalism :: Controllo, modulazione e algebra del male in Burroughs e Deleuze :: e.book :: free download :: Rizosfera :: collana editoriale I forti dell’avvenire :: SF016 :: ita :: copertina e grafica Gabriele Fantuzzi :: settembre 2018
Il presente testo è stato pubblicato online, con leggere modifiche, nel numero 3/2016 «La vita e il numero» della rivista filosofica La Deleuziana, a cura di Sara Baranzoni ed Emilia Marra. L’obiettivo principale del saggio era interrogare in profondità il rapporto tra Deleuze e Burroughs secondo la prospettiva concettuale del Controllo, termine dai confini quanto mai ambigui e indeterminati. Deleuze scrive in “Pourparler” che il concetto di “Controllo” è attribuibile a William Burroughs. Fin dagli anni ‘70 del Novecento, tra i due pensatori si è sviluppata una profonda affinità intellettuale e politica, sotto il segno dell’insegnamento esoterico-acefalico d’impronta nietzscheana. Tale affinità si dispiega su tre livelli di analisi: società di controllo, comunità rivoluzionarie e cultura schizo. Mantenendo la discorsività foucaultiana in primo piano, Deleuze rivela la signicativa transizione politico-sociale dalla “disciplina” al “controllo” in tutta la sua fredda mostruosità. Secondo Deleuze e Burroughs la lotta contro il Controllo avviene attraverso la sperimentazione di «macchine da guerra» letterarie, artistiche, filosofiche – dunque esistenziali – che divengono vere e proprie singolarità micro-comuniste non assimilate, in grado di sfuggire alla conoscenza dei saperi istituzionali e al dominio dei poteri delle nuove formazioni di sovranità numerica e algoritmica. La guerriglia asimmetrica, elettronico-diagrammatica, non lineare e “non localizzata”, di Burroughs si rivela uno strumento del tutto prezioso per le future lotte, alla luce soprattutto di un pensiero critico – nostro contemporaneo – troppo pigro, prevedibile e conformista, dal quale essa mantiene una inesorabile distanza siderale.
Emilia Marra holds a Master in « Philosophies allemande et française dans l’espace européen » - Europhilosophie Erasmus Mundus (UTM, UCL, BUW), and she is now a PhD student at the University of Trieste with a project on the concept of system between Hegel and Spinoza and their contemporary French interpretations. Her researches mainly investigate the French contemporary philosophy, with a special focus on the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze. She published in journals such as Esercizi Filosofici, Interpretationes, Philosophy Kitchen, S&F, Estetica. Studi e ricerche, La Deleuziana, of which she is member of the editorial board. She also translated Pierre Macherey’s Hegel ou Spinoza (Ombre Corte, 2016).
Erik Davis' Bio
Erik Davis was born during the Summer of Love within a stone’s throw of San Francisco. He grew up in North County, Southern California, and spent a decade on the East Coast, where he studied literature and philosophy at Yale and spent six years in the freelance trenches of Brooklyn and Manhattan before moving to San Francisco, where he currently resides. He is the author of four books: Nomad Codes: Adventures in Modern Esoterica(Yeti, 2010), The Visionary State: A Journey through California’s Spiritual Landscape (Chronicle, 2006), with photographs by Michael Rauner, and the 33 1/3 volume Led Zep- pelin IV (Continuum, 2005). His first and best-known book remains TechGnosis: Myth, Magic, and Mysticism in the Age of Information (Crown, 1998), a cult classic of visionary media studies that has been translated into five languages and recently republished by North Atlantic Press. He has contributed chapters on art, music, technoculture, and contemporary spirituality to over a dozen books, including Suzanne Treister’s HFT: The Gardener (Black Dog), Future Matters: the Persistence of Philip K. Dick (Palgrave), Sound Unbound: Writings on Contemporary Multimedia and Music Culture (MIT, 2008), AfterBurn: Re ections on Burning Man (University of New Mexico, 2005), Rave Ascension (Routledge, 2003), and Zig Zag Zen (Chronicle, 2002). In addition to his many forewords and introductions, Davis has contributed articles and essays to a variety of periodicals, including Bookforum, Arthur, Artforum, Slate, Salon, Gnosis, Rolling Stone, the LA Weekly, Spin, Wired and the Village Voice.
The features that financial bubbles have in common with electro bubbles are the data membranes which perpetually flow in the two directions of the interface. The data flow innervates both sides, the inside and the outside, leaving internal and external pressures free to peak and destroy the bubble itself. Bubbles emerge everywhere, from cryptocurrencies to the darker products of offshore financial markets. But how was the latter confronted by a different kind of (electro) bubble: the artificial one of electronic music, the realm of synthetic beats?"
Throughout summer 2017, the Demystification Committee set out to model and explore the systems and structures of offshore finance, and the murky world of the jurisdictions that enable its existence, with the aim to open up opportunities for subversive, wasteful fun. The Demystification Committee set up an international corporate structure across three jurisdictions, the Offshore Investigation Vehicle. This vehicle operates at once as a guide and a shield: not only does it provide access to a hidden world of knowledge and opportunities; it also guarantees the secrecy of the actions undertaken there.
Once set-up, the Offshore Investigation Vehicle was opened to others in an attempt to create a community of people interested in this effective and toxic parallel legal system. The community was formed through the norms of corporate law, playing with the company’s legal structure: shares were issued; meetings called; resolutions voted on. At the first general meeting of Empire Management, the UK limited company at the top of this structure, the Vehicle’s objectives were collectively set. A dozen new shareholders advanced and discussed a number of operations, with the aim to begin misusing the privileged
Vehicle’s structure set-up both onshore and offshore.
The idea of producing a seditious mirror version of the Economist,
to be known as the Offshore Economist, was advanced, discussed
and approved. The publication focuses on those ruptures and cracks inherent to the practice and world of offshore, which are the qualifying loopholes for those invested, and investing, in it. Through fictional stories, marginal poetry, fragmented legalese and a shifting form and layout, this publication pursues an aesthetic of offshore — a world that is dual and slippery, real and beyond real, and — at times — surreal." (Demystification Committee, Berlin, late January, 2018)
Obsolete Capitalism is a collective of pure independent research.
Underground Streams (2014) has been written a year before the classic Grunge Accelerationism (2015) and it represents the essay where Edmund Berger faces with the rst accelerationist thought (Land and CCRU) and the second one (Srnicek and Williams) that he de nes Neo-Accelerationism.
What we wish to underline in this foreword is the recon r- mation of Berger’s ability to deeply grasp the meaning of the «Underground Streams» that characterized XX century «hyperstitional» thought and to clearly de ne the perimeter of hy- perstitional area and the contiguous esoteric resistance. Here lies the trait d’union between Underground Streams and Grungy Accelerationism...
Obsolete Capitalism è una sub-unità sonica del collettivo Obsolete Capitalism. L'e.book «Chaos sive natura» presenta il testo che accompagnerà l'opera pubblicata in vinile e cd. Un viaggio affascinante tra Nietzsche e Deleuze, Spinoza e Monk, il Ritmo e la variazione. E' un omaggio sia alla musica afro-americana che al dub contemporaneo sulle ali dei suoni del jazz astratto di Electric Tree e la loro rielaborazione da parte di Obsolete Capitalism secondo l'ottica di un accelerazionismo non orientabile. Deleuze e Guattari scrivono in Mille Piani che la misura è dogmatica mentre il Ritmo è critico. E' sul crinale ritmico della diaspora nera afropea che Obsolete Capitalism Sound System vorrebbe concatenare nuove variazioni e ritornelli di un futuribile «sonic writing».
‘Selected Network Studies’ collects audio/visual experiments carried out by the Network Ensemble, a London-based electronic data-noise duo. Founded in 2015 by Oliver Smith and Francesco Tacchini, the Network Ensemble transforms wire- less communications into sound in real time using a set of custom-made tools. Originally conceived as a machine to amplify the activity of network landscapes, the Network Ensemble is a free-form and ever-changing set of tools and experiences for sonically uncovering and exploring the hidden operational layer at the very core of the network.
Selected Network Studies
Released through Rizosfera via limited edition SD cards, a digital download, a live performance and this eBook, ‘Selected Network Studies’ includes one hour of video material and 45 minutes of sound material. Accompanying this is visual and written documentation of both the hardware and software built for network exploration, as well as details of the data collection and performance sites.

Simon Choat, English, is Senior Lecturer in Politics and International Relations at Kingston University, London (UK) and is the author of the book 'Marx Through Post-Structuralism: Lyotard, Derrida, Foucault, Deleuze' (Continuum, UK, 2010)'. His current research covers a range of areas, including: Marx’s 'Grundrisse'; philosophies of ‘new materialism’; surplus population and unemployment; and the Marxism of Alfred Sohn-Rethel. He is a member of the Marxism Specialist Group - Political Studies Association. His latest essay 'From Marxism to Poststructuralism' is included in the collection 'The Edinburgh Companion to Poststructuralism.' (Edinburgh University Press, UK, 2013) edited by Dillet, Mackenzie and Porter. He is currently writing a Reader's Guide to Marx's Grundrisse for Bloomsbury Publishing.
Simon Choat's interview on digital populism and recent European political phenomena, held on 16th June 2013 with the author of the blog Obsolete Capitalism.
Saul Newman's interview on digital populism and recent European political phenomena, held on 5th June 2013 with Obsolete Capitalism and Rizomatika blog.
Saul Newman, Australian, lives and works in London. He is Professor of Political Theory at Goldsmiths College, University of London (UK). He specialises in - and has even coined the term - "post-anarchism". Post-anarchism generally indicates those philosophies that filter anarchist thought of the nineteenth century through the lens of continental post-structuralism of the twentieth century. In this context, the founding text of the post-anarchist thought is his 2001 book 'From Bakunin to Lacan. Anti-Authoritarianism and the Dislocation of Power' (Lanham MD: Lexington Books 2001). Among the books published are also 'Power and Politics in poststructuralist Thought: New Theories of the Political' (London: Routledge, 2005); 'Unstable Universalities: Postmodernity and Radical Politics' (Manchester: Manchester University Press, 2007); 'Politics Most Unusual: Violence, Sovereignty and Democracy in the 'War on Terror' - Co-authored with Michael Levine and Damian Cox-(New York: Palgrave Macmillan 2009). 'The Politics of Post Anarchism' (Edinburgh: University of Edinburgh Press: 2010); 'Max Stirner' (Palgrave 2011) and 'Agamben and the Politics of Human Rights' (co-authored with John Lechte) (Edinburgh University Press, 2013).

Ciò che leggerete in questo documento è la traduzione in italiano dell'intervista rilasciata il 5 giugno 2013 da Saul Newman.
Saul Newman, australiano, vive e lavora a Londra. E' docente di Political Theory al Goldsmiths College, University of London (UK). E' un teorico della politica, in particolare del pensiero definito "post-anarchico". Newman stesso ha coniato il termine "post-anarchism" come termine generale indicante quelle filosofie che filtrano il pensiero anarchico del XIX secolo attraverso le lenti del post-strutturalismo continentale del XX secolo. A questo proposito, il testo base del pensiero post-anarchico è il suo libro del 2001 intitolato From Bakunin to Lacan. Tra i libri pubblicati, citiamo: From Bakunin to Lacan. Anti-Authoritarianism and the Dislocation of Power (Lanham MD: Lexington Books 2001); Power and Politics in Poststructuralist Thought: New Theories of the Political (London: Routledge 2005); Unstable Universalities: Postmodernity and Radical Politics (Manchester: Manchester University Press 2007); Politics Most Unusual: Violence, Sovereignty and Democracy in the 'War on Terror' - Co-autore con Michael Levine and Damian Cox- (New York: Palgrave Macmillan 2009); The Politics of Post Anarchism (Edinburgh: University of Edinburgh Press: 2010 ); editor di Max Stirner (Houndmills, Basingstoke, Hampshire, UK; New York: Palgrave Macmillan 2011). Ultimo libro pubblicato, nel giugno del 2013, per la Edinburgh University Press: Agamben and the Politics of Human Rights (di cui è co-autore con John Lechte).

L'episteme della tradizione - storica, politica, coloniale, patriarcale - viene colpita implacabilmente dal fuoco amico delle macchine da guerra filosofiche. E tra le fiamme delle immagini dogmatiche del pensiero, un rigoglio incantevole di suoni, luci, brezze, piante rizomatiche, vespe e orchidee, sciamani e animali di ogni sorta, esprime la complicità con un «popolo che manca», una comunità in divenire appena tratteggiata, che fa delle differenze e delle minoranze il cemento del domani.
