Dissemblage
Machinic Capitalism and Molecular Revolution
Gerald Raunig
Following Dividuum (2015), transversal texts and Minor Compositions present the
second volume of “Machinic Capitalism and Molecular Revolution”: Dissemblage
unfolds a wild abundance of unruly material, from the multilingual translation
machines of Al-Andalus to the queer mysticism of the High Middle Ages, from the
minor voices of the falsetto in 20th century jazz and soul to today’s
disjointures and subjunctures against the smooth city in machinic capitalism.
In this volume, Gerald Raunig produces a conceptual ecology of joining and
jointing, but also shifts the patterns of writing theory. Semi-fictional
interweaves with meticulously researched historical sources, mystical writings
with letters from friends, philosophical fragments with poetic ritornellos.
More than just a narrative about dissemblages from social surrounds,
thing-worlds, and ghost-worlds, the book itself is a dividual multiplicity in
form and content.
The book is both available
in print, from Minor Compositions https://www.minorcompositions.info/?p=1136 and
as free pdf: https://transversal.at/media/dissemblage.pdf.

Ungefüge, 4.3
As a text and sound dissemblage, Ungefüge, 4.3 continues Gerald Raunig’s
experiments in theoretical form. In an intensive collaboration with Alexander
Tuchaček and with the voices of Isabell Lorey and Stevphen Shukaitis,
disjointures and subjunctures form and fall apart. “Out of joint, in the
joints, lurking for the joints. Then the wind comes in, and with it the windy,
Wendy, Windish kin”.
Text/Dissemblation: Gerald Raunig
Sound: Alexander Tuchaček
