Lassitude

It seems that ever less pleasure and reassurance can be found in human relations, in everyday life, in affectivity and communication. A consequence of the loss of Eros in everyday life is the investment of desire in one’s work, understood as the only place providing narcissistic reinforcement to individuals used to perceiving the other according to rules of competition, that is to say as danger, impoverishment and limitation, rather than experience, pleasure and enrichment.

Franco ‘Bifo’ Berardi. The Soul at Work: From Alienation to Autonomy.

The performance acommons as a place of happy adaptation, of the Eros of everyday life.

Acommons is to commons as amoral is to moral, as asymptomatic is to symptomatic, as atemporal is to temporal. Acommons as a commonality that is beyond recognition as commons.

Cloth, paper, sound, light, paint, stone, skin, thought, water, dark, pulse.

A process of making that is exploration, patience, curiosity, irreverence, sensuousness, persistence.

The performance acommons as place (joyfully?) resisting biopolitical subjectivation.

A process of making that is about becoming singular and discovering our potentials, within, among, between, and beyond.

In the days to come, politics and therapy will be one and the same. The people will feel hopeless and depressed and panicked, because they can’t deal with the post-growth economy and they will miss our dissolving modern identity. Our cultural task will be to attend to these people and to take care of their trauma showing them the way to pursue the happy adaptations at hand. Our task will be the creation of social zones of human resistance, zones of therapeutic contagion. (220)

Released potentials as more-than-therapeutic, affirmations of intensity and excess.
