Andrew Culp: A Guerrilla Guide to Refusal Livestream
Channel: Aesthetics and Politics
Date: 2022-04-28

Join Critical Studies faculty Andrew Culp for the CalArts launch of his new book A Guerrilla Guide to Refusal (University of Minnesota Press, 2022). 
A Guerrilla Guide to Refusal is an unexpected approach to philosophy from a guerrilla-logic point of view. Harnessing critical theory to creatively reimagine counterinsurgency, guerrilla warfare, and interventions beyond the political mainstream, it takes us on a journey through anarchist infowar, queer outlaws, and Black insurgency—through a subterranean network of communiques, military documents, contemporary art, political slogans, adversarial blogs, and captive media. In doing so, it provides powerful new insight into contemporary political movements that pose no demands, refuse labels, and offer no solutions.
Readings from the book will be performed by current students C Bain, William Lockwood, Julia Saenz Lorduy, z.No scott, Ryan Mangione-Smith, and alum Jessica Wawra.
The event will conclude with book signings. Copies of Culp’s books will be available for purchase at-cost: A Guerrilla Guide to Refusal ($20) and Dark Deleuze ($8).
