FORUM - Nouns and verbs; or, Holloway's understanding of revolution - This author argues that Holloway's approach does not offer any characterisation of the kind of negative practice that would be involved in the scream-doing, nor an historical account of social change, and that it constitutes an expression of both the fragmentation of collective struggles and the disillusionment of a whole ...

FORUM - Contemporary struggle in Europe: 'Anti-power' or counter-power? To what extent does this book contribute to our understanding of everyday struggle in the twenty-first century? By using some examples of contemporary struggles across Europe, the authors claim that it is not enough to champion a 'politics of events' as pure expressions of anti-power, but rather that it is necessary to provide ...

FORUM - Hopeful voyage; uncertain point of arrival? In this section, the author argues that Holloway's is an extraordinary book that confronts two key issues for revolutionary politics: Class reductionism, and the conception of the capitalist state as an instrument. Its proposal is vague, though, and does not offer any criterion that could justify the politics of events as revolutionary politics, ...

FORUM - To change the world we need revolutionary democracy - The author argues that Holloway's book is truly radical and thought-provoking. He is not, though, persuaded by Holloway's distinction between power-to-do and power-over, and finds the discussion on power, anti-power and counter-power extremely abstract. In his contribution, he proposes to examine the problem of revolutionary praxis and, ...

FORUM - Out with them all! The authors discuss the power in the anti-power of the piqueteros, using the example of an hypothetical encounter between them and the manager of the most important Spanish bank in Argentina. They celebrate Holloway's book, recognising the ideas presented in it as posing a challenge that appeals from the realm of the absurd, rather than a concrete proposal.

FORUM - Sympathy for the devil? John Holloway's Mephistophelian Marxism - This paper argues that Holloway's book is a key text of contemporary autonomist Marxism that connects with the tradition of negative thought of Lukács and the early Frankfurt school. However, imprecision and vagueness conquer almost all when it comes to political strategy. The book affirms, then, the primacy not of the ...

FORUM - A call for emancipatory reflection: Introduction to the Forum - As an introduction to this international Forum, the author presents three of the book's controversial ideas and argues that, at a moment when intellectual contributions to radical change are scarce, it constitutes a noteworthy input to worldwide resistance against global neoliberalism. Yet, are ideas such as 'practical ...
