Punk Suprematism
Écrits dans la première moitié des années 1980, ces textes sont un mélange unique d'attitude punk et de concepts théoriques empruntés à Althusser, Lacan et à l'art d'avant-garde. Rédigés dans une période turbulente du socialisme yougoslave, ces textes tentaient de comprendre l'importance politique du punk en tant que mouvement de masse de la jeunesse appauvrie. Les conclusions de ces travaux ont eu un effet durable sur la formation théorique du post-marxisme yougoslave, ainsi que sur les formes d'organisation de l'alternative socialiste. Le livre comprend également un avant-propos sur le contexte historique des années 1980 et une vaste bibliographie narrative des publications liées au punk dans la République socialiste de Slovénie, rédigée par Sezgin Boynik. En outre, il comprend également les traductions des deux éditoriaux de Punk Problemi écrits par des théoriciens slovènes renommés.

Despite its age, this book has some powerful observations about ideologies and culture, how they form, spread, and replicate as tools of control.
