Imaginal Machines

"All power to the imagination? Over the past forty years to invoke the imagination as a basis for radical politics has become a cliche: a rhetorical utilization of of ideas already in circulation, invoking the mythic unfolding of this self-institutionalizing process. But what exactly is radical imagination? Drawing from autonomist politics, class composition analysis, and avant-garde arts, Imaginal Machines explores the emergence, functioning, and constant breakdown of the embodied forms of radical imagination."
This is a book written by a professor at the University of Essex (also an editor at Autonomedia), and with positive blerbs on the cover from Silvia Federici and the University of London's Chair in Strategy, Culture and Organization. Here is a fun, interesting book best for those who are not afraid of academic language.
