ULWC Reader

"The ULWC Reader, prompted by our recent Assembly (28 Nov–13 Dec, 2020), comes together as a broad effort to reflect on these questions and as a celebration of the Club’s first year of activity. In the Reader you will find contributions by Club members alongside texts from other sources that we found particularly resonant with the Club’s politics. The Reader begins with a sort of editorial by the Leisure Communism Group (a militant research branch of the ULWC), offering an abridged history of struggles against the capitalist orderings of time as well as a first attempt at formulating a theory of Leisure Communism. In Conversations you will find an assortment of dialogues extending from discussions that took place at the recent Club Assembly. In Clubstories, a few inspiring accounts of historical nightclubs that supported radical political formations. In Drifts, partisan subversions of the daylight’s encroachment on the opacities, mysteries, and uncouth refusals of the night. Finally, Conspiracy, where you will encounter some strategic analysis and critical intervention."
