What are the centrifugal forces pushing information flows to the margins, fostering gossip and sabotaging reliable, institutional, *-washed communication channels?
My (Tommi’s) answer is an intertwinning of Keny Arkana’s La Rage and La Haine.
As gossip is portrayed negatively and painted as empty chit-chatting, in the same way rage and hatred are seen as despicable, venomous, and perilous feelings that must be avoided. Nevertheless, their intrinsically anti-institutional, disruptive, and disobedient nature makes these sentiments the key force powering all decentralized, critical, informal organizing.
The banlieus are the embodiment of this. Ghettified, forgotten, marginalized. They survive outside of, inspite of, and because of the centralization of institutions.
