JOHN HOLLOWAY ON GLOBAL LABOR
Holloway is known for formulating a political theory which is geared to the culture of Zapatism and includes the central notion of »Changing the world without taking power«. His theory on social tensions between »doing« (work, labor) and »done« (capital) is aiming for a language describing social antagonisms (a dialectic), which corresponds to political realities and therefore is neither wholly descriptive nor purely normative. Approaching the real metaphor of »The Scream« and the like, he considers the real conflict of supressed subjects and asks questions touching on »creative power«, formulating a theory about the possibility of revolution, which does not reside in the seizure of state apparatuses, but in day-to-day acts of abject rejection of capitalist society. On a visit to Berlin Holloway answers questions specifically concerning his views on »global labor«.
