Cover -- Contents -- Part I - Break -- 1. Break. We want to break. We want to create a different world. Now. Nothing more common, nothing more obvious. Nothing more simple. Nothing more difficult. -- 2. Our method is the method of the crack. -- 3. It is time to learn the new language of a new struggle. -- Part II - Cracks: The Anti-Politics of Dignity -- 4. The cracks begin with a No, from which there grows a dignity, a negation-and-creation. -- 5. A crack is the perfectly ordinary creation of a space or moment in which we assert a different type of doing. -- 6. Cracks break dimensions, break dimensionality. -- 7. Cracks are explorations in an anti-politics of dignity. -- Part III - Cracks on the Edge of Impossibility -- 8. Dignity is our weapon against a world of destruction. -- 9. Cracks clash with the social synthesis of capitalism. -- 10. Cracks exist on the edge of impossibility, but they do exist. Moving they exist: dignity is a fleet-footed dance. -- Part IV - The Dual Character of Labour -- 11. The cracks are the revolt of one form of doing against another: the revolt of doing against labour. -- 12. The abstraction of doing into labour is the weaving of capitalism. -- 13. The abstraction of doing into labour is a historical process of transformation that created the social synthesis of capitalism: primitive accumulation. -- Part V - Abstract Labour: The Great Enclosure -- 14. Abstract labour encloses both our bodies and our minds. -- 15. The abstraction of doing into labour is a process of personification, the creation of character masks, the formation of the working class. -- 16. The abstraction of doing into labour is the creation of the male labourer and the dimorphisation of sexuality. -- 17. The abstraction of doing into labour is the constitution of nature as object.

18. The abstraction of doing into labour is the externalisation of our power-to-do and the creation of the citizen, politics and the state. -- 19. The abstraction of doing into labour is the homogenisation of time. -- 20. The abstraction of doing into labour is the creation of totality. -- 21. Abstract labour rules: the abstraction of doing into labour is the creation of a cohesive law-bound totality sustained by the exploitation of labour. -- 22. The labour movement is the movement of abstract labour. -- Part VI - The Crisis of Abstract Labour -- 23. Abstraction is not just a past but also a present process. -- 24. Concrete doing overflows from abstract labour: it exists in-against-and-beyond abstract labour. -- 25. Doing is the crisis of abstract labour. -- 26. The breakthrough of doing against labour throws us into a new world of struggle. -- Part VII - Doing Against Labour: The Melodies of Interstitial Revolution -- 27. Doing dissolves totality, synthesis, value. -- 28. Doing is the moving of the mulier abscondita against character masks. We are the mulier abscondita. -- 29. Doing dissolves the homogenisation of time. -- Part VIII - A Time of Birth? -- 30. We are the forces of production: our power is the power of doing. -- 31. We are the crisis of capitalism, the misfitting-overflowing of our power-to-do, the breakthrough of another world, perhaps. -- 32. Stop making capitalism. -- 33. -- thanks -- Notes -- Bibliography -- Author Index -- Subject Index.
