La logique sociale de la dérivation financière
Cet article propose quelques extraits du livre Knowledge LTD , publié de façon posthume après la disparition précoce de l'auteur. Il ne présente pas les produits dérivés de la finance comme de simples contrats financiers destinés à spéculer sur le prix des risques, mais il montre comment la dérivation financière reconfigure les fondements des échanges économiques, au point de menacer l'unité même de ce que nous appelons encore, de façon désormais…
Money After Decolonization
The transformation of money from a fixed anchor to something altogether more fluid is typically told as the story of a center that could not hold. Bretton Woods breaks up, and finance colonizes the world. Rather, we may get further in our critical analysis by revising the emergence of finance in the present conjuncture as a process of decolonization. A generative line of investigation would be to align the operations of money with those of the de…
What Difference do Derivatives Make? From the Technical to the Political Conjuncture
In the aftermath of the great bailout of capital in 2008 (and still ongoing) finance has often been seen as external and parasitical to the real economy. Instead, finance and other forms of capital have become more closely articulated and interwoven. A critical social logic of the derivative is offered here, following on Marx's analysis of the commodity, to consider what is meant by dominance of finance, what difference finance makes and the poli…
After Economy
The massive capital bailout launched in 2008 proceeded on a threat that without it “there would be no economy.” What if that turned out to be the case? Capital had claimed economy as the name of its social relations: the task here is to explore what social logic is disclosed through the derivative that would account for its expansion and impact beyond profit-taking exchange or as a mere succession in an unbroken chain of evermore-effective regime…
An important failure
This paper introduces a theme section on knowledge limits in and after the financial crisis. It explores how and why practitioners have generally responded less conservatively to crisis than academics, and argues that academics within a variety of problematics could do more by reflecting critically on the heroic ideas about the role of knowledge which were current across the social sciences in the decade before the crisis. It then turns to introd…
Taking an Administrative Turn
The woes of finance have threatened to eviscerate what is public in the university and collapse the space in which the humanities could be imagined. This essay seeks to look at finance's effects otherwise, through the social logic of the derivative, to discern ways in which the humanities might be recharged through a critical engagement with administrative labor
Collective
The story of the Social Text collective begins with the desire to establish a counterpoint to possessive individualism, creating a means for valuing collaborative engagement against the singular authorship of genius; later it would come to stand against the deadening metric of disciplinary accountability as well. The editorial collective foments a deliberative process that aims to set its own context and hence to make something generative of its …
University
As a critical nomenclature in Social Text, university points to a constellation of trends that coalesces around the corporate ethos of higher education: professionalization, academic capitalism, industry standardization, anti-intellectualism, managerialist protocols, adjunctifying professoriate, casualized instruction, knowledge factory, and the global university. As an interventionist journal of tendency, work published over the past thirty year…
Organizations as Social Structures
Organizations as social structures is a perspective that focuses on the hardware of human association, the durable factors that govern people's ways of being together as they achieve common goals by coordinated means. As it has been understood in the literature, social structure is what permits the organization's persistence over time; it describes relations among differentiated positions, and references an agency or institutional will that trans…
Art Attacks
Far from being a matter incidental to policy, the attack on art bespeaks a more generalizable array of tactics for managing populations, while the notion that art itself bears the agency to launch an offensive, references far greater political stakes than are conventionally attributed to the esthetic domain. Policy-whether it be fiscal, domestic, military or cultural, aspires to a concrete performativity. The various government positions that aut…
Toward a Kinesthetics of Protest
Gatherings in protest are also occasions for the socialization of the body politic, moments when principles for living together among strangers are put on display. In what follows, I will treat images of protest for their principles of assemblage and exclusion. The power to still social life gives it in the same breath. Each protest is a gesture of arrest that unleashes its own kinesthetic
America as risk/securitizing the other
This essay, on the relation between the military strategies of American imperial ambitions and the protocols of finance as a means of managing the affairs of daily life, is meant to advance a cultural Marxism that reads the contemporary discourse and practice of political economy. Specifically, I argue that the embrace of risk and the logic of pre-emption that govern financialization can illuminate the present logic of self-managed imperialism th…
Reading Capital for the Socializing Politics of Globalization
The prospects for politics at a world scale are a casualty in the polarizing discussions that too often characterize reflections on globalization. The three volumes of Marx's Capital are taken as a field in which to mine a conception of the socializing effects of what is often treated as global finance's sweeping reign. This reading is used to understand recent financial developments in an effort to return a redesigned conception of socialism to …

The Composite Body
This article is based on the author's experience taking a hip-hop aerobics class at an Irvine, California, fitness center. It explores the engagement of a specific bodily practice across racial lines that is mediated by mass communication and live performance. This combination of a representational domain (the imaginary) and a practical means of enactment (the performative) is what is meant by the concept composite body. Contrary to the notion of…
Cuba and the Rest
L'A. evoque les mouvements politiques qui, aux Etats-Unis, ont apporte leur soutien au regime castriste ou manifeste, a partir de 1953, leur opposition a l'imperialisme americain. Il analyse la situation politique, economique et sociale de Cuba apres l'effondrement du monde communiste. Il dresse le bilan economique de l'embargo americain
Resurfacing Socialism
L'A. montre que le socialisme manque dans la vie politique. Il montre que le socialisme defend deux perspectives opposees : une vision du general et en meme temps une tendance a soutenir les particularismes liee a une lutte contre l'indifference capitaliste aux questions sociales. La mondialisation pose la question du developpement et de la repartition des ressources et necessite une politique mondiale. Dans ce cadre une perspective socialiste qu…

Nicaragua
Judging from the appellations assigned to Nicaragua in the popular media, one might get the impression that it is a place almost too simple, monolithic and absolute to imagine as a country that actually exists in the world. Yet, not unlike others, it is a place full of complexities and subtleties. Perhaps the densest of these complexities is the relation between politics and culture, the state and everyday life. Were Nicaragua (or anyplace else c…

internal) authority is a utopian model for the performance of politics. The movement from conscious to sentient organization of the body, moves from a model of constraint over physical behavior to something approaching daily physical experience. The transition from symbolic to abstract or choreographer's to dancer's authority proceeds through a series of mediations. Some of the key transitions or mediations are outlined here, though each day of r…
