ADILKNO's Movement Teachings makes no attempt to legitimatize
crowd spectacles after the fact by giving them a social twist.
Neither is it a history book, though it's chock full of bizarre and
absurd anecdotes; it is above all a textbook in which the concepts
of mass and movement are set against each other chapter by chapter
according to the method of applied casuistry. The Teachings are
thus prevented from turning into social therapy. This is also how
they have escaped being theoretical acrobatics. The theory,
the Movement Teachings, is radically raked away and swept together in
the opening and closing chapters. What remains of theory in the
chapters in between is the manner in which certain events are or are
not described, and the connections between the different
descriptions. Through this »absence« of theory the engrossing stories
which thus arise achieve a remarkable clarity. At the same time the
Movement Teachings are distinguished by a swift pace. They produce a
racket bringing to mind the bells and whistles of the squatters' acid
house parties, while in contrast the new social theory prefers the
silence of the funeral chamber. The smoke which the Movement Teachings
(like any good theory) expel smells not of incense, myrrh and gold
dust, but of tear gas, tires and mattresses. The smoke of the movement
is not a cloud masking its shortcomings, but a signal that something's
going on. And we are there.
