Anarchives – Differential Moments of Affirmation through Revolutionary Love

Summary/Abstract: In order to counter the idea that there is no way out of the grand narratives of separation between the Western, dominant modes of production of knowledge, art and politics and the opposing ones, anchored either in the movements of liberation of the Third World or in the transition from the ex-Communist to a global capitalist model, I propose a typeof practice that I call revolutionary love. This practice may generate a space of “differential consciousness” (Sandoval), related to a space of “relational matrices,” which involves discord and dissension, “adventitious growth,” and “surplus movements” (Massumi). Revolutionary love is poetically transcribed in the micropolitical gestures of anarchives – a toxic input that can free desire from the imperceptible repressions it is obeying.
