Tiqqun was a French-Italian Post-Marxist[1][2] anarchist philosophical journal or zine, produced in two issues from 1999 to 2001. Topics treated in the journal's articles include anti-capitalism, anti-statism, Situationism, feminism, and the history of late 20th century revolutionary movements, especially May 1968 in France, the Italian Years of Lead, and the Anti-globalization protests of the late 1990s and early 2000s. The journal's articles were written anonymously; as a result, the word "Tiqqun" is also used to name the articles' collective of authors, and other texts attributed to them.
The journal came to wider attention following the Tarnac Nine arrests of 2008, a police operation which detained nine people on suspicion of having conspired on recent sabotage of French electrical train lines. The arrested were accused of having written The Coming Insurrection, a political tract credited to The Invisible Committee, a distinct anonymous group named in the journal. Julien Coupat, one of the arrested, was a contributor to the first issue of Tiqqun.
The journal's articles are
Due to their philosophical influences, political content and historical context, the Tiqqun articles have received some attention in humanities scholarship and anarchist reading circles. Selected articles have been republished in several languages.
Contents and authorship
The first issue of Tiqqun was published in February 1999 with the title Tiqqun, Organe conscient du Parti Imaginaire: Exercices de Métaphysique Critique (Tiqqun, Conscious Organ of the Imaginary Party: Exercises in Critical Metaphysics). The second issue was published in October 2001 with the title Tiqqun, Organe de liaison au sein du Parti Imaginaire: Zone d’Opacité Offensive (Tiqqun, Organ of Liaison within the Imaginary Party: Zone of Offensive Opacity). For simplicity the two issues are commonly referred to as Tiqqun 1 and Tiqqun 2, respectively.
Eleven[4] articles were published in Tiqqun 1, and ten[5] major articles were published in Tiqqun 2.[a] Additionally the first issue contained a one-page spread, and the second issue contained nine smaller pieces interspersed between each of its ten main articles, two-page spreads with black borders.[b] In all 31 pieces were published in the journal, listed below in the order they originally appeared.
Due to their anonymity, Tiqqun's articles are not credited to individual authors; rather, they are simply attributed to the journal's namesake. However the first issue's back cover contained a
The actor and philosopher Mehdi Belhaj Kacem briefly collaborated with the Tiqqun collective toward the end of its existence. In an interview, he noted that the group disbanded shortly after the September 11 attacks.[13]

Themes
Tiqqun's articles pathologize modern capitalist society, introducing several terms used to describe social phenomena. The authors use the terms together to present an anti-capitalist, anti-statist worldview. Because of their contempt for modern society, the authors advocate insurrectionary anarchism, crime,[15] and other methods intended to subvert it. The authors also indicate that people opposed to modern capitalist society may form meaningful community with each other based on their shared rejection of it.
According to the authors, the coordination of states and private businesses gives rise to modern capitalist society (Empire), which entails "commodity domination"[16] of social interactions, supplanting authentic human community.[17] This leads to several pathological sociological types: socially alienated people (Blooms), people who fully participate in society and thereby become commodities themselves (Young-Girls), people who criticize society without attempting to change it (Men of the Old Regime), and subcultures which seek to preserve themselves at the expense of their members' inability to be honest with each other (Terrible Communities). Historically, modern Western society transitioned from a period of liberal governance (the liberal hypothesis) to a period stressing social control using technology (the cybernetic hypothesis). Modern society uses two techniques to maintain its power and to reproduce itself: biopower is used to manage the physical needs of the population, while the Spectacle is an established form of discourse which reproduces modern society through its socialization in individuals.
Against this, the authors posit "critical metaphysics", an attitude which rejects modern society. Persons who reject modern society may meet in "planes of consistency", circumstances which allow like-minded people to encounter each other. Persons rejecting modern society form the Imaginary Party, an unorganized group who may coalesce around specific events of civil unrest. An example is the Black bloc, a practice—employed during anti-globalization protests and riots—of dressing in black and wearing face coverings.[18] The authors describe "zones of offensive opacity" as places where people may meet to subvert modern society. The process through which such people meet and interact is described as Tiqqun.[19]
The tone of the articles is frequently acerbic and sarcastic.[20] The philosophers Thucydides, Thomas Hobbes and Martin Heidegger are described respectively as "that moron",[21] "that piece of shit"[22] and "swine",[23] due to the authors' disagreements with their views. The Italian sociologist Antonio Negri is also frequently the subject of harsh criticism, due to his involvement in activism which the authors feel is too conciliatory to existing capitalist society.[24][25] The articles are illustrated with reproductions of artwork and photography of riots and demonstrations.
Synopsis
Tiqqun 1
The journal's first issue included a
Of course you know, this means war! is a brief opening piece which sets out the authors' disgust with modern society, which they liken to the Situationist notion of the Spectacle, and also to the Kabbalistic notion of qlippoth (shells, husks), the latter being evil forces in Jewish mysticism. Against the prevailing social order, the authors propose Tiqqun, referring both to the Jewish concept of healing, and also to the journal itself. The piece is dated Venice, January 15, 1999.[27] What is Critical Metaphysics? gives a description of its titular subject, which is opposed to "commodity domination", or commodity metaphysics. The article's title is a play on What is Metaphysics?, a lecture given by Heidegger in 1929.[28][29] According to the authors, critical metaphysics is an irrepressable, anti-capitalist way of perceiving reality, which consumer culture, modernity and analytic philosophy have failed to eliminate.[30] The authors stress that the concept is not academic, but practical: "Critical Metaphysics is in everyone's guts."[31] Persons who engage in critical metaphysics are described as critical metaphysicians. In one passage, people who join to "politicize metaphysics" represent the emergence of "the coming insurrection of the Mind";[32] The Coming Insurrection was the title later given to the first work by The Invisible Committee.[i] Between articles an image of a black square was reproduced, taken from a work by the occult philosopher Robert Fludd. For Fludd, the black square represented the Void which preceded the Creation.[35] The authors reproduced the image to illustrate surrounding themes of nothingness and night.[36]
Mr Bloom watched curiously, kindly, the lithe black form. Clean to see: the gloss of her sleek hide, the white button under the butt of her tail, the green flashing eyes. He bent down to her, his hands on his knees.
—Milk for the pussens, he said.
—Mrkgnao! the cat cried.
They call them stupid. They understand what we say better than we understand them.
Ulysses, as quoted at the beginning of Theory of Bloom[37][38][39]
Beginning with a quotation from the James Joyce novel Ulysses, Phenomenology of Everyday Life is a brief piece in which the narrator describes an "absurd" interaction with a bakery clerk, where each is expected to play the economic roles of customer and vendor.[49][m]
Theses on the Imaginary Party describes its title's subject as a portion of humanity who come to reject modern society. Spectacle and biopower are presented as two reinforcing aspects of modernity: the former is a control mechanism which ensures compliance with and reproduction of the society's norms, while the latter presents itself as a benevolent force providing for the needs of the population.

Minor pieces
Nine minor pieces appeared in Tiqqun 2, which included reproductions of flyers posted publicly, or for dissemination at demonstrations.
Final Warning to the Imaginary Party is a sarcastic list of articles concerning the proper use of public space—for leisure and consumption as opposed to protest or "abnormal behavior"—written from the point of view of governments and businesses. The piece was reproduced as photographs of the printed list, posted in public and subsequently defaced and marked with criticisms.[6] The Conquerors had Conquered Without Trouble is a prose vignette describing gatherings of silent, masked people in the world's cities, to the disturbance of the cities' original "conquerors".[104] The old conquerors blamed the phenomenon on an "Invisible Committee", and the piece invoked the phrase used as an author's credit in the later eponymous texts:
A great menace, at the same time as a great derision, were given off by the crowds of mute masks with their regard riveted on the entrenched conquerors. These conquerors were certainly not mistaken as they hastily denounced the conspiracy of a certain Invisible Committee. They even spoke of a major peril for civilization, for democracy, for order and the economy. But in the interiors of their chateaux, the conquerors became afraid.[105]
The Untitled Notes on Citizenship Papers are remarks on a social movement demanding citizen documentation for all persons; the authors observed that such a movement could be tactically useful to abolish the concept of
Notes on the Local is a series of remarks on the fragmentation of the built environment into spaces with distinct functions. According to the authors, places like highways, supermarkets and public benches are transient locations that their users are expected to pass through in a timely fashion. To cope with this regimented use of real space, virtual spaces (television, internet, video games) are provided to people to give an illusion of freedom.
Related texts
Other texts not appearing in the original journal have been associated with Tiqqun and the Invisible Committee. The Great Game of Civil War is a brief piece describing the difficulty of leaving modern society, using sarcastic language similar to that found in Tiqqun's flyers and a ten-point format similar to Final Warning to the Imaginary Party.[113] In 2004, the postscript to an Italian edition of Theory of Bloom announced the forthcoming publication of Call (Appel), an anonymous tract which proposed secession from mainstream capitalist society.[114][115] Call used vocabulary and rhetoric common to both Tiqqun and the Invisible Committee (e.g. Spectacle and biopower, an imperative to form communes). Call was later criticized on the Left for its suggestion that actors can unilaterally withdraw from capitalist society on their own terms. According to the critic, capitalism continues to inform relations of production throughout society, a situation from which potential defectors cannot immediately escape.[116]
Reception
Tiqqun came to wider attention in the English-speaking world through its association with the Invisible Committee, whose book The Coming Insurrection was denounced (and thereby popularized) by the American conservative commentator Glenn Beck following the Tarnac Nine arrests.[117] Due to its popularization following the arrests, the journal's articles have received attention in humanities scholarship and anarchist reading circles, generating a body of critical literature. Some authors have analyzed the articles' historical background, while others have used them to underline points in original research. Criticisms range from perceived misogyny (in the Young-Girl article) to the commercial success of The Coming Insurrection itself.
Jason E. Smith detailed the history of civil unrest in 1970s Italy, providing historical background for Tiqqun's subject matter in This is Not a Program. He underlined the division within the Italian Left between established, labor-focused organizations (including the Italian Communist Party and worker's unions) and more radical, autonomist groups who refused the employment relation altogether, using autoreduction as a coercive tactic to appropriate goods and services at lower prices, including the looting[118] of supermarkets. Smith argued that Tiqqun's articles advocate a politics of incivility, informed by the latter autonomist tendency in the Italian Left.[119] Alexander R. Galloway cited The Cybernetic Hypothesis in an essay treating the conceptual history of the black box, likening black bloc demonstrators to "a black box" in the sense that each has internal dynamics opaque to outisiders.[120][u] Andrew Culp discussed Michel Foucault's studies on war, politics and insurrection as precursors of Tiqqun's martial discourse; he also described the Invisible Committee as a group which splintered from the personnel involved with creating the journal.[121]

Preliminary Materials For a Theory of the Young-Girl consists of a series of passages characterizing "the Young-Girl", frequently in sexist terms. Representative examples include "The Young-Girl is a lie, the apogee of which is her face."[122] and "The Young-Girl's ass is a global village."[123] Critics of the text agree that its ostensible purpose is not to insult women, but rather to denounce a capitalist process of socialization which produces "the Young-Girl" as a pathological archetype which is harmful to real women.[124][125] While acknowledging this premise, Moira Weigel and Mal Ahern criticized the text as misogynistic, suggesting that its anonymity and irony were used as covers to pre-emptively deflect accusations of sexism;[126] Weigel and Ahern's article was itself criticized in later articles.[127][128] Catherine Driscoll noted that the device of the "Young-Girl" does not suggest the authors' dissatisfaction with society from a woman's point of view, but was instead chosen as one subordinate facet of a larger political philosophical project.[129] Translator Ariana Reines noted that although she later came to appreciate the text, the process of reading and translating it made her sick—not in the metaphorical sense of finding the rhetoric disagreeable, but in the literal sense that she experienced nausea and migranes while preparing her translation.[130]
Tiqqun has also been criticized in anarchist reading circles, frequently in connection with the Invisible Committee. One article traced the journal's philosophical influences, focusing on Heidegger, nihilism and the Jewish messianic figures of Sabbatai Zevi and Jacob Frank, ultimately rejecting the journal itself as philosophically insignificant.[7] Another article criticized This is Not a Program, claiming that the latter gave a revisonist account of the Years of Lead.[131] Others instead focused on works by the Invisible Committee (though mentioning Tiqqun in passing), arguing that the former group marketed its books as fashionable consumer products following the Tarnac Nine arrests, contrary to their purported anti-capitalist views.[132][133] Common to all these articles is the observation that the texts under examination—whether by Tiqqun or the Invisible Committee—have a tendency to contradict themselves; the criticisms also use polemical language comparable to that used in Tiqqun itself.
A pair of critical works discussed Tiqqun and the Invisible Committee in more sympathetic terms. Pedro José Mariblanca Corrales treated Tiqqun's concept of Bloom by way of the journal's vocabulary (see the below glossary), elaborating the latter to explain the social causes giving rise to the former.
Glossary
Tiqqun's articles introduce several items of jargon which are freely used throughout the journal's other articles. Major terms are described here.
Notes
- ^ Each issue had a table of contents for its main articles in the back; see the previous citations for these. Note that the second issue's table of contents did not list page numbers and ignored a group of nine small pieces placed between each main article (see below for details).
- ^ See for example Dernier avertissement au parti imaginaire (Final Warning to the Imaginary Party), pp. 38-39 of Tiqqun 2.[6] One exception to this rule was Ma noi ci saremo (But we'll be here), the final small piece, which instead ran for six pages.
- Jewish messianism.[7]
- ^ The author's names and other identifying details were suppressed in the issue's English translation.[9]
- ^ Some contact information was listed in the various editions of the articles. The second issue's original version gave "18, rue Saint-Ambroise, 75011 Paris"—a location in the 11th arrondisment—as the address of the Society for the Advancement of Criminal Science or SACS, an entity related to the Tiqqun collective.[10] In a preface to a stand-alone edition of Theory of Bloom, the address was given again as that of Tiqqun itself;[11] the address has been described as a squat which was occupied at the time by the authors. Additionally, the SACS gave [email protected] as a contact e-mail.[12]
- ^ The one-page spread. An advertisement for the French laundry service 5àsec is reproduced, showing actor Christophe Malavoy wearing a suit. In his own words, Malavoy looks "impeccable". A newly-added caption notes the etymology of the word: sinless, "not subject to sin".[14]
- ^ Each minor piece appeared between the issue's main articles in the order shown in both tables, e.g. Final Warning to the Imaginary Party appeared between Introduction to Civil War and The Cybernetic Hypothesis, The Conquerors had Conquered Without Trouble appeared between The Cybernetic Hypothesis and Theses on the Terrible Community, etc.
- ^ An Italian phrase. The piece consists of a series of remarks on then-contemporary anti-globalization protests in Genoa, Prague and Seattle, and reproduces a flyer in parallel Italian and French.
- ^ In the French, there are two similar but distinct versions of the phrase. The original French phrase appearing in this passage of the Tiqqun article was "la prochaine insurrection", or "the next insurrection".[33] The book later published by the Invisible Committee bore the distinct title L'insurrection qui vient, or The Coming Insurrection.[34]
- ^ "[Therefore] we refine, sharpen, and clarify the Theory of Bloom."[41]
- ^ There are three versions of Theory of Bloom. The original version of the article appearing in Tiqqun 1[40] was later revised[j] for republication as a stand-alone volume.[42] The revised version was translated into English by Robert Hurley;[43] although it treated most of the same ideas, the revision permuted several passages and substantially changed the language of the original text, adding block quotes from philosophers and novelists to underline its rhetoric. A third version of the article appeared as part of a complete English translation of Tiqqun 1, done by the anonymous translator Tiqqunista.[44] This third version was effectively a subset of the revision, lacking language unique to the original and the block quotes introduced in the revision. With the exception of Theory of Bloom and Theory of the Young-Girl (see below note), all of Tiqqun's articles have been given an English rendering based on their original French versions. Theory of Bloom and Theory of the Young-Girl, however, were each first revised in French, and the English translations of each were based on their respective revisions. The original instances of both articles first appearing in Tiqqun 1 remain unavailable in English.
- ^ The original version of Theory of Bloom was published in February 1999, shortly before the Columbine High School massacre. The original article described school shootings and other types of murder as symptoms of modern alienation, corresponding to the Bloom figure described by the authors. When the article was revised, it was updated to mention the Columbine shootings as a further example.[48]
- ^ The piece has been interpreted as a failed flirtation between the narrator and the clerk.[7]
- ^ "[The passages and quotations comprising Theory of the Young-Girl] are assembled here under approximate rubrics, just as they were published in TIQQUN 1; there was no doubt they needed a little organization."[57]
- ^ There are two versions of Theory of the Young-Girl. The original version of the article appearing in Tiqqun 1[56] was later revised[n] for republication as a stand-alone volume.[58] The revised version was translated into English by Ariana Reines;[59] although it treated most of the same ideas, the revision permuted several passages and substantially changed the language of the original text. With the exception of Theory of the Young-Girl and Theory of Bloom (see above note), all of Tiqqun's articles have been given an English rendering based on their original French versions. Theory of the Young-Girl and Theory of Bloom, however, were each first revised in French, and the English translations of each were based on their respective revisions. The original instances of both articles first appearing in Tiqqun 1 remain unavailable in English.
- ^ The article's illustrations also included a photograph of a quarter-dome curved mirror or surveillance camera, set in the corner of a hallway ceiling in the New York subway system.[79] The photograph—sub_nyc01—taken by M. T. Litschauer, was part of a series on featureless interiors of subway systems, which she referred to as "non-sites".[80] Tiqqun used the phrases "non-site", "non-place"[81] and similar terms to refer to urban environments that are meant only to be passed through, and not inhabited. The photograph was also reproduced in a volume of the Project on the City, a book series on urban planning which the authors cited in another article.[82]
- ^ The piece began with a preface describing modern office buildings and office equipment (chairs, computers, etc) as other types of control apparatuses. For illustration, the preface was accompanied by an art photograph by William Clift, showing the reflection of the Old St. Louis Courthouse in the glass of the Equitable building, a modern office building.[88][89]
- ^ Examples are found on a page of "recipe instructions" which was not reproduced in the article's official English translation. The page claims to give instructions for the manufacture of a specific type of Molotov cocktail, manufacture of caltrops intended for anti-police use, and welfare fraud.[2][90]
- Leda and the swan. The illustration appeared next to language dealing with norms in human sexuality. Witkin is known for working with disabled subjects; the central model portraying Leda was Goddess Bunny, a disabled drag queen.[97][98]
- ^ Galloway and Smith were co-translators of the English edition of Introduction to Civil War.
- ^ The chapter involving Bataille also appeared as a stand-alone journal article, and there are slight differences between both versions of the text.[17][136]
