The third issue of Rab-Rab Journal actualizes the question of Karl Marx asked in 1843 regarding the status of poetry in dealing with the privatization of forests. The issue following this question addresses the thematics of the subjectivity of artists, the social responsibility of artistic abstraction and the question of learning through arts.

Among the diverse contributions, texts and drawings on poetic configurations of Communist Manifesto, anti-fascist hallucinations of Artaud, neoliberalism of pirate radios, suburban riots, materiality of the film, representation of Stalin, communist sensuality, Last Futurist exhibition, documentary abstraction, declaration of East, Kazimir Malevich, the Black Square as organising principle, theory and militancy, Hegel and conceptualism, critique of objectivity of landscape, communism for children, hard-core punk, Art & Language, non-figuralism of art in self-management socialism, mathemes of cinematic experiments, the lesson of Rodolfo Walsh, and critique of ideological interpellation.
