Fictioning

'Reading "Fictioning: The Myth-Functions of Contemporary Art and Philosophy" has brought me great joy ... Deleuzian scholars, historians and theorists of the avant-garde, postcolonial and feminist theorists, theorists of the posthuman, artists and occultists will, among others, all find something of value here' --Lilly Markaki, Royal Holloway, University of London, LSE Review of Books. '"Fictioning" here alludes to "an open-ended, experimental practice that involves performing, diagramming or assembling to create or anticipate new modes of existence" and thus not to fiction writing per se, but the book turns out to be just as unputdownable as the best novel you can lay your hands on, or as hypnotic as Plastique Fantasique's tunes for that matter.' --Edith Doove, Leonardo Reviews. 'This is a book about loops, the fictional and the real, the virtual and the actual, the past that never was and the people yet to come -- and how to occupy them, to live in the in-between, summon demons, talk to cats, compose new temporalities, all in the name of building a future so alien that none of us could even imagine what it might be like.' --Laboria Cuboniks.
