BREATHING - FRANCO BIFO BERARDI KARTONIERT (TB)

The increasingly chaotic rhythm of our respiration  and the sense of suffocation that grows
everywhere: an essay on poetical therapy.Since the hopeful days of the Occupy movement  many
things have changed in the respiration of the world  and we have entered a cycle of spasm 
despair  and chaos. Breathing is a book about the increasingly chaotic rhythm of our
respiration  about the sense of suffocation that grows everywhere. I can't breathe. These words
panted by Eric Garner before dying  strangled by a police officer on the streets of Staten
Island  capture perfectly catching the overall sentiment of our time. In Breathing  Franco Bifo
Berardi comes back to the subject that was the core of his 2011 book  The Uprising: the place
of poetry in the relations between language  capital  and possibility. In The Uprising  he
focuses on poetry as an anticipation of the trend toward abstraction that led to the present
form of financial capitalism. In Breathing  he tries to envisionpoetry as the excess of the
field of signification  as the premonition of a possible harmony inscribed in the present
chaos. The Uprising was a genealogical diagnosis. Breathing is an essay on poetical therapy.
How we deal with chaos  as we know that those who fight against chaos will be defeated  because
chaos feeds upon war? How do we deal with suffocation? Is there a way out from the corpse of
financial capitalism?
