Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Take This Refusal and Dance To It
Q: How does music function as a site of refusal of wage labor, according to your book?
Music is not simply a recorder of conditions but a space where time, labor, and value collide; work songs illustrate a non-wage rhythm that can critique or undermine capitalist time, while also offering a field for imagining non-capitalist social relations.
Take This Refusal and Dance To It
Q: What is the core relationship between political economy and cultural form in your work?
Rekret explains that his aim is to move between how economic structures shape cultural forms and how cultural practices, in turn, shape and resist those structures, especially through the labor embedded in music.
Communism After Deleuze
Q: Could you explain the difference between transversality and the articulation of a network in practice, and how to avoid homogenization while inventing a people?
The guest explains that transversality arises from everyday task organization and avoids rigid, centralized leadership by creating a dynamic network where multiple lines of connection and difference can coexist. He emphasizes practical methods to keep dissent and variation alive within a broader, immanent politics, rather than enforcing a single, uniform model.
Communize the city
Q: You mention Málaga's recent mobilizations and the idea of 'Málaga para vivir.' How did those neighborhood assemblies and tenant actions translate into broader tactics for Communize the City?
They demonstrate how localized, bottom-up organizing—monthly assemblies, working groups, and mutual aid responses to acute crises like floods or outages—can scale into a broader ethos of living rather than merely surviving the city, creating holes in the city's logistics and redefining what urban life can look like without relying on traditional political mediations.
Communize the city
Q: You describe three main problems of the city—citizenship, civility, and renewal. Could you elaborate how these interlock to form financial brutalism by exclusion, and what that implies for organizing from within the ruins?
They create a moral architecture that naturalizes domination while simultaneously opening spaces for insurgency that operate at margins, through holes and informal networks. By reframing the city as a plane of immanence, we can hold and sabotage logistics from within, using forms of mutual interdependence, subsistence, and everyday insurgency to sustain life and push toward intercommunal solidarity beyond the state.
