Résumé

Edited by Julieta Aranda, Brian Kuan Wood, Stephen Squibb, Anton Vidokle ---------- With contributions by Paul Chan, Keti Chukhrov, Cluster, Antke Engel, Hu Fang, Brian Kuan Wood, Lee Mackinnon, Chus Martínez, Tavi Meraud, Fred Moten and Stefano Harney, Elizabeth A. Povinelli and Kim Turcot DiFruscia, Paul B. Preciado, Martha Rosler, Virginia Solomon, Jalal Toufic, Jan Verwoert, Slavoj Zizek -------------------- Lacan famously defined love as giving something you don't have to someone who doesn't want it. But love is more than a YouTube link or a URL. This beautiful negative flip of what is commonly considered the most positive force in the universe helps us begin to see love's fullness and endless bounty as based in emptiness and lack. Love's joy is not to be found in fulfillment, it is to be found in recognition: even though I can never return what was taken away from you, I may be the only person alive who knows what it is. I don't have what it is you're missing, but knowing its shape already makes a world where you can live without it. -------------------- Is the beleaguered consciousness that picks up this book post-human, post-reality, pre-internet, post-it, pre-collapse, pre-fabricated according to a bespoke set of algorithmic preferences, or just here in the name of love? But what's love got to do with it now, in the present? Over the past few decades, it has often been said that we no longer have an addressee for our political demands. But that's not true. We have each other. What we can no longer get from the state, the party, the union, the boss, we ask for from one another. And we provide. Since 2009, need and care and desire and admiration have been cross-examined, called as witness, put on parole, and made the subject of caring inquiry by e-flux journal authors. These writings have been collected to form this comprehensive volume.
