Abstract
What is nazism if not also the worst moment in the history of technology? “Worst” can serve as a rhetorical qualification of “moment,” which may not be restricted or an indication of closure. The worst moment in the history of technology may not have an off switch, but only a modality of being on. —Ronell 16 Today politics knows no value (and, consequently, no nonvalue) other than life, and until the contradictions that this fact implies are dissolved, Nazism and fascism—which transformed the decision on bare life into the supreme political principle— will remain stubbornly with us. —Agamben, Homo Sacer 10
期刊介绍：
differences: A Journal of Feminist Cultural Studies first appeared in 1989 at the moment of a critical encounter—a head-on collision, one might say—of theories of difference (primarily Continental) and the politics of diversity (primarily American). In the ensuing years, the journal has established a critical forum where the problematic of differences is explored in texts ranging from the literary and the visual to the political and social. differences highlights theoretical debates across the disciplines that address the ways concepts and categories of difference—notably but not exclusively gender—operate within culture.
