False Documents - Peter Lamborn Wilson

. .

Résumé :
False Documents, by Peter Lamborn Wilson (Hakim Bey), is a series of Borgesian fictions, each pretending to be a document from various literary, commercial, or otherwise culturally-pertinent contexts. Together they comprise a tour de force of structural imagination: an intricate reflection on the alchemy of creation and dissolution for a contemporary world whose discursive forms tend to obscure as often as illumine. Famous for his writings in anarchist philosophy and practice (including the coining of the phrase Temporary Autonomous Zone, or TAZ), Hakim Bey again illustrates that only a position outside of history can truly zero-in on its deformed heart, which he does with laughter, insight and poignant care.
