Exit strategies
This paper approaches Quinn Slobodian's work as a working guide to contemporary capitalist strategies of exit and containment. It asks what challenges this poses to anti-state critique from the left and what lessons might be learned
The asset economy
This paper argues that asset ownership is becoming more important than employment as a determinant of class position. The introduction considers this claim with respect to Piketty’s contribution, arguing that the latter is too focused on the growth of wealth at the very top. The first section draws on the work of Hyman Minsky to outline the logic of assets. We differentiate our approach from competing perspectives that tend to overemphasize the o…
The Alt-Right
There is by now broad consensus in the critical literature that neoliberalism and social conservatism have frequently coexisted in practice. Yet the alt-right fits none of the previously identified alliances: this is not the neoliberal neoconservatism of the Reagan and Bush years, nor the neoliberal communitarianism of the Third Way, nor even a form of neoliberal authoritarianism. Instead, the alt-right claims intellectual descent from economic l…
Experimental Republic
Medical accidents have become an unexpected source of political friction in reform-era China, leading in certain, well-publicized cases to mass riots and violent attacks against hospital staff. This article situates the problem of the medical accident alongside the wider politicization of risk in postsocialist China, arguing that the single act of medical negligence must be understood as symptomatic of the general decline in health insurance cove…
Genealogies of resilience
The concept of ‘resilience’ was first adopted within systems ecology in the 1970s, where it marked a move away from the homeostasis of Cold War resource management toward the far-from-equilibrium models of second-order cybernetics or complex systems theory. Resilience as an operational strategy of risk management has more recently been taken up in financial, urban and environmental security discourses, where it reflects a general consensus about …
Turbulent Worlds
Focusing on the speculative methodologies used to generate models of the financial and meteorological future, this article develops a series of theses on the 'evental' and 'atmospheric' quality of contemporary power. What is at stake in the circulation of capital today, I argue, is not so much the exchange of equivalents as the universal transmutability of fluctutation. Whether we are dealing with the turbulence of world financial markets or that…
Experimental Labour—offshoring Clinical Trials to China
The State Food and Drug Administration of China has reported a dramatic increase in multicentre, multinational clinical trials over the past several years. This is in keeping with a growing trend towards the off-shore outsourcing of clinical trials from North America and Western Europe to `nontraditional locations' such as Eastern Europe, China, and India. Within China, the post-socialist reform of health care, internal divisions of labour and th…
Homeland Insecurities
Homeland Insecurities Melinda Cooper (bio) Randy Martin , An Empire of Indifference: American War and the Financial Logic of Risk Management. Durham: Duke UP, 2007. Randy Martin's Empire of Indifference deploys the concept of "securitization"--with its double reference to financial and military processes--as a way of approaching the seeming convertibility of the economic and the political calculus of risk in the U.S.'s most recent imperialisms. I…
Life, Autopoiesis, Debt
This article considers the genealogies of the 'bioeconomy' by investigating shifting conceptions of life, debt and regeneration across the disciplines of biology and political economy. Returning to the post-industrial literature of the seventies, it seeks to understand how the perception of economic and ecological crisis fed into the US's decision to promote life science innovation as the cutting edge of its new economic strategies. There is an i…
Pre-empting Emergence
This article looks at the increasing prominence of bioterrorist threat scenarios in recent US foreign policy. Germ warfare, it argues, is being depicted as the paradigmatic threat of the post-Cold War era, not only because of its affinity for cross-border movement but also because it blurs the lines between deliberate attack and spontaneous natural catastrophe. The article looks at the possible implications of this move for understandings of war,…
Regenerative medicine
The nineteenth century science of teratology concerned itself with the study of malformations or "monstrosities", as they were then called. The first major contribution to the field was the work of Isidore Geoffrey Saint-Hilaire, Historie Generale et Particuliere des Anomalies de l'Organisation chez l'Homme et les Animaux, published in 1832, whose classifications formed the basis for the later experimental science of teratogeny, the art of reprod…
Coeliac disease in the Rehovot-Ashdod region of Israel
The data from a large group of children with biopsy proved coeliac disease born in the Rehovot-Ashdod region of Israel and treated in a regional hospital provided us with the basis for the determination of the annual birth cohort incidence of coeliac disease for the period 1968-81. The findings show a minimum birth cohort incidence of 1.71/1000 live births. The highest incidence rate was in children of Asian origin and the lowest in second genera…
William Robert Grove and the London Institution, 1841–1845
From March 1841 until the end of 1845, W. R. Grove held the post of Professor of Experimental Philosophy at the London Institution. No previous study of the Institution has dealt in detail with the period of Grove's tenure of this, the first professorship. Here, by reference to the various manuscripts and publications of the Institution, and to Grove's papers and correspondence, it is possible to describe the background to Grove's appointment and…
