These words panted by Eric Garner before dying, strangled by a police officer on the streets of Staten Island, capture perfectly catching the overall sentiment of our time. In <i>Breathing</i>, Franco Bifo Berardi comes back to the subject that was the core of his 2011 book, <i>The Uprising</i> <i> </i>the place of poetry in the relations between language, capital, and possibility. In <i>The Uprising</i>, <i> </i>he focuses on poetry as an anticipation of the trend toward abstraction that led to the present form of financial capitalism. In <i>Breathing</i>, he tries to envision poetry as the excess of the field of signification, as the premonition of a possible harmony inscribed in the present chaos. <p/><i>The Uprising</i> was a genealogical diagnosis. <i>Breathing</i> is an essay on poetical therapy. How we deal with chaos, as we know that those who fight against chaos will be defeated, because chaos feeds upon war? How do we deal with suffocation? Is there a way out from the corpse of financial capitalism?</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Franco Berardi, aka "Bifo," founder of the famous "Radio Alice" in Bologna and an important figure of the Italian Autonomia Movement, is a writer, media theorist, and media activist.
