Dissemblage. Machinic Capitalism and Molecular Revolution
Gerald Raunig

Following Dividuum (2015), Gerald Raunig presents the second volume of 
“Machinic Capitalism and Molecular Revolution.” Dissemblage unfolds a 
wild abundance of material of unruliness, from the multilingual 
translation machines of Al-Andalus to the queer mysticism of the High 
Middle Ages, from the small 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 Raunig not only develops a conceptual ecology of concepts 
of joining and jointing, but also undertakes an experiment in 
theoretical form. Semi-fictional interweaves with meticulously 
researched historical sources, mystical writings with letters from 
friends, philosophical fragments with poetic ritornellos. More than a 
narrative about dissemblages from social surrounds, thing-worlds, and 
ghost-worlds, the book itself is a dividual multiplicity in form and 
content, out of joint, in the joints, dissemblage.

Zürich University of the Arts, Zürich and the eipcp (European Institute 
for Progressive Cultural Policies), Vienna. He is coeditor of the
