Theses on (the Philosophy of) History (poem)

Global Rights has decided to venture into the world of e-books.
"Today, Tuesday 27th September, we publish a precious little e-book, Theses on (the Philosophy of) History (poem),
a long poem by GR writer and poet Séamas Carraher, based on Walter
Benjamin’s last written work, ‘Theses on the Philosophy of History –
Über den Begriff der Geschichte’, written in 1940 shortly before his
death.
The idea of now publishing e-books is a consequence of what Global
Rights intends to be: a platform to communicate and share texts,
opinions, comments, literary reviews, poems, news…
We have called this new chapter of the Global Rights adventure
“Culture of Liberation”. We will go into it and why we think there is
now an urgent need for a culture of liberation, with other writings to
be published this week and into the future.
Ultimately we believe that only by imagining and desiring another
world, other social systems and relationships, in fact, will the much
needed change become concrete.
Likewise only by “recovering forgotten and subtracted vocabularies,
by rebuilding proper syntax and new grammars, subversion becomes
viable…”
We hope you will join us in this new project."
