Hatred of Capitalism Would Be a Much Better Title
"I looked through your magazine and I was repelled by the title, Semiotext(e). It's so dry, you just want to throw it in the trash, which I did. Listen: Hatred of Capitalism would be a much better title. It's stunning. The world is starving for thoughts. If you can think of something, the language will fall into place, but the thought is what's going to do it." —Jack Smith A READER edited by Chris Kraus and Sylvère Lotringer SEMIOTEXT(E) ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The editors would like to thank all the friends who helped us retype portions of this manuscript: Priyanka Basu, Shannon Durbin, Jim Fletcher, Giovanni Intra, D'Arcy Cook Jones, John Kelsey, Hedi El Kholti, Tessa Laird, Joan Laughlin, Allison Madigsohn, Keith Pirlot, Sara Reich, Steve Shimada, Tom Simpson, Mark Stritzel, Joel Tauber, John Tremblay, and Robert Hardwick Weston Additional editing: Mark Von Schlegell Assistant editors: Shannon Durbin and Tessa Laird Designed at The Royal Academy of Nuts + Bolts, D.O.D. www.TheRoyalAcademy.org We gratefully acknowledge financial assistance in the publication of this book from the California Arts Council.
