The n/Oulipean Analects

The n/Oulipean Analects

The n/Oulipean Analects, eds., Matias Viegener and Christine Wertheim, Les Figues Press, 2007.

An alphabetical survey of constrained writing in modern English. Editors Wertheim and Viegener gathered and arranged critical and creative pieces from some of the most prominent and influential constraint-based writers – adding the unknown variable n to the great legacy of Oulipo. The result: an excellent mix of introductory basics for those new to constraint-based writing, blended with in-depth exposition and critique for those already avid readers and writers.

The Psychopathologies of Cognitive Capitalism: Volume One, eds., Arne de Boever and Warren Neidich, Archive Books, 2014. 

How have emancipatory politics, art and architecture, and education been refined by semio-capitalism? What might be the lasting, material ramifications of semio-capitalism on the mind and brain? This book brings together an international array of philosophers, critical theorists, media theorists, art historians, architects, and artists to discuss the state of the mind and the brain under the conditions of cognitive capitalism, in which they have become the new focus of laboring.
