摘要：A call for works of art and/or philosophy that feel (or exist at) the friction point of two urgencies. The first is a need for immediate macro-material, perceptible, collective political change as exhibited recently in student strike activism in Quebec, Black Lives Matter in the U.S., Blackfella Revolution in Australia, and Idle No More in Canada, among many others. The second is a need for micro-material, processual, and often imperceptible anarchic tendings of an already swarming political affect, a coming together beneath recognized political forms, developed most recently by Stefano Harney and Fred Moten in The Undercommons and less recently in Deleuze and Guattari’s A Thousand Plateaus. A call for contributions that touches any event in which the corporeality of the political is felt and put into question towards a further reshaping of its form. Frictions: the manners of grasping the concretisation of a political struggle, the resistance of movement emerging from the contact of different surfaces. Fictions: the narrative, the fabulations that underlie the world we live in, the aesthetic and theoretic propositions that overspill towards the more-than-concrete, diagramming alternative trajectories of thought and feeling.
