I haven't read much (since it entails a lot of primary/cultural background that I often don't have) but Gerald Raunig had two interesting long essays about culture. One, A Thousand Machines, takes the D&G machine shtick and uses it to take a jog through various bits of Euro culture, including the film Bicycle Thieves, "Themroc", about a working class guy who's just up and had it one day with modern life and starts acting like a feral ape, and early cultural/arts experiments in the Russian Revolution. The other book "factories of knowledge, industries of creativity" is more of the same, but uses a Kafka short story (the D&G book about Kafka is also in the series at left) as a means to discuss factory-universities and industrial-arts. Realistically I'd like to have a go at "discerning the subject" at some point since that one's shorter and I think I could make sense of it without all the expected background reading.

Only two, though I have copies of like 10 on that list and others. I might actually read the Troubetzkoy book and/or the Paul Smith book (not in pic) later, but I've got other things going on.
