DESCRIPTION:Afflicted Powers: Capital and Spectacle in a New Age of War\n\nPresented by 
 Iain Boal, a member of Retort and one of the authors of "Afflicted Powers" 
 Afflicted Powers is an account of world politics since September 11, 2001. 
 It aims to confront the perplexing doubleness of the present—its lethal 
 mixture of atavism and new-fangledness. A brute return of the past, calling 
 to mind now the Scramble for Africa, now the Wars of Religion, is 
 accompanied by an equally monstrous political deployment of (and entrapment 
 in) the apparatus of a hyper-modern production of appearances. Retort is a 
 gathering of antagonists to capital and empire, based for two decades in 
 the San Francisco Bay Area. The present book arises from the group's 
 efforts to confront the current political moment and some of the main forms 
 of resistance to it. Involved in the writing were Iain Boal, T. J. Clark, 
 Joseph Matthews, and Michael Watts.\n\nSunday, October 7th, 2007   10:00
