About Me |
|
| Team Colors: Our Mission Team Colors [militant research collective] | colores del equipo [colectivo de investigacion militante] is a collective engaged in 'militant research' to provide 'strategic analysis for intervention into everyday life'. Our purpose is to explore questions of everyday resistance , mutual aid , the imposition of work , social reproduction , class composition , community participation and the commons - by creating engaging workshops and the producing provocative written documents and articles. Currently Team Colors is based Brooklyn NY, Portland, OR, and Tucson, AZ. Our approach has come from our involvement in community organizing projects, community dialogs, and resistance activities in the countries largest suburb of Long Island, New York. * * * Team Colors Website: www.WarMachines.Info Email Team Colors Subscribe to the Team Colors E-NEWSLETTER Email: If war necessarily results, it is because the war machine collides with States and cities, as forces opposing its positive object: from then on, the war machine has as its enemy the State, the city, the state and urban phenomenon, and adopts as its objective their annihilation. It is at this point that the war machine becomes war: annihilate the forces of the state, destroy the state-form. - Deleuze and Guattari, .."A Thousand Plateaus.." ~ We are at war with one another; a battlefront runs through the whole of society, continuously and permanently, and it is this battlefront that puts us all on one side or the other. There is no such thing as a neutral subject. We are all inevitably someone..'s adversary. - Michel Foucault, .."Society Must be Defended.." In the Middle of a Whirlwind: 2008 Convention Protests, Movement & Movements coordinated by team colors & published by journal of aesthetics and protest press to be released 25 may 2008 On the Wasp & the Orchid: “The orchid seems to form a wasp image, but in fact there is a wasp-becoming of the orchid, and orchid-becoming of the wasp, a double capture since ‘what’ each becomes changes no less than ‘that which’ becomes.” - Deleuze & Parnet, Dialogues Contribute to the upcoming publication of In the Middle of a Whirlwind (assist us in printing and shipping posters and postcards to over 300 radical spaces across the US): (Donations to Team Colors are not tax-deductible for federal income tax purposes.)

Radical intellectuals explore the relationship between research and resistance. What is the relationship of radical theory to movements for social change? In a world where more and more global struggles are refusing vanguard parties and authoritarian practices, does the idea of the detached intellectual, observing events from on high, make sense anymore? In this powerful and unabashedly militant collection, over two dozen academic authors and engaged intellectuals—including Antonio Negri and Colectivo Situaciones—provide some challenging answers. In the process, they redefine the nature of intellectual practice itself. Check out this new collection on AK Press in which Team Colors members Craig Hughes and Kevin Van Meter have a contribution written along with their good friend and co-author Ben Holtzman: Do It Yourself . . . and the Movement Beyond Capitalism Put out the word on Team Colors Simply copy and paste the following into your online profile, blog or website: |
