Tiqqun was a group of philosophers that emerged in Paris in 1998. It drew inspiration from the Situationist International, Dada, and Surrealism, as well as the Frankfurt School, the young Lukács, Hannah Arendt, Gershom Scholem's work on Jewish mysticism, and, of course, Walter Benjamin. Regarding contemporary philosophy, it's worth noting the strong influence of Giorgio Agamben, with whom Tiqqun established direct contact, as well as a fascination with Gilbert Simondon, Gilles Deleuze, and, although not universally shared, an interest in Michel Foucault. Trendy ideologues like Alain Badiou or Slavoj Žižek were ignored, or, more accurately, despised. Quite soon, the idea of ​​publishing a journal called "Tiqqun" arose, a reference to the tradition of Jewish mysticism, in which the concept of "tikkun olam" denoted the correction of a corrupted, devastated, and disharmonious world. Here one can detect a messianic reference shared by Benjamin, but also by the entire Western tradition of critique, common to anarchism and socialism.

The fifth book in the series by the French philosophical collective "Tiqqun." "First, this ritual asserts the absolute equivalence of a commodity in exchange, and then this absolute equivalence in consumption despotically and abruptly condemns all Blooms who have purchased this commodity to impoverishment."
