Abstract
This essay argues that the figure of the circuit that recurs across Denise Ferreira da Silva’s Unpayable Debt, which might be too easily treated as a passing metaphor, illuminates the book's most significant concerns: the problem of unity; relationships among the economic, the ethical, and the juridical; and the reticulated dynamics of ‘free’ labor and racialized slavery in the circulation of value. Building on Ferreira da Silva's references to circuitry, the essay posits the emergent, recursive circuits of cybernetic social theory and ecology as unintentional yet strikingly revealing diagrams of the capital-race dynamic.
期刊介绍：
Our Editorial Collective seeks to publish research - and occasionally other materials such as interviews, documents, literary creations - focused on the structured inequalities of the contemporary world, and the myriad ways people negotiate these conditions. Our approach is adamantly plural, following the basic "intersectional" insight pioneered by third world feminists, whereby multiple axes of inequalities are irreducible to one another and mutually constitutive. Our interest in how people live, work and struggle is broad and inclusive: from the individual to the collective, from the militant and overtly political, to the poetic and quixotic.
