New Journal: Infexions

A thought is a tremendous mode of excitement. Like a stone thrown into a pond it disturbs the whole surface of our being. But this image is inadequate. For we should conceive the ripples as effective in the creation of the plunge of the stone into the water. The ripples release the thought, and the thought augments and distorts the ripples. In order to understnand the essence of thought we must study its relations to the ripples amid which it emerges.
Alfred North Whitehead


Biran Massumi, the theorist and translator of Lyotard and Deleuze, has started a new journal: InfleXions: "an in-between journal of transformative tendency at the creative crossroads of philosophy, art, and technology".

Each volume, available online, is divided into two sections:

a section entitled Nodes, which will feature a group of conceptually interlinked pieces that engage with a particular problematic in a variety of different modes, including but not limited to academic essays.


a Tangents section presenting individual contributions to the theory and practice of research-creation. Tangents pieces strike off in directions all their own, and resonate across their divergences. Taken together, they suggest potential connections with each other and the issue Node. Tangents may be art works in any web-presentable medium or media mix. They may also be written pieces of any
genre: commentary, creative writing, ephemera, short academic articles, art or political reportage, reviews, or “rearviews” (reassessments of old but relevant material).

Infexions: Volume 1, Issue 1 is out. Check it before it is filterrred by the foolofficers of your country.

ps. before checking the home page, I suggest checking this tangential intervention in reading Deleuze.
