Labour, for capitalist critique, is not just slavery analogised; it is slavery materialised and expanded. Across the Marxist terrain, class struggle is presupposed by the struggle not to be a slave: the struggle of ‘the worker’ combats a slavery simultaneously more complex, because it is more mediated, and implicitly more emancipatory, because it materialises what has been called ‘objective possibility’. In this article, I track symptoms of the sublation of slavery by labour in the telling of ‘new labour history’ and counter with ‘objective impossibility’ as a more open and efficacious diagnostic for the slave’s political position. Though the sentences of United States labour history are alive with promises of solidarity, the field also remains an unstable landmine of antagonism, death, failure, limit. I argue that this labour history, despite its gestures towards the problem ‘race’, is grammatically caught in a web of desires that Sylvia Wynter names ‘the hegemony of the labour conceptual frame (i.e., the frame of the struggle against capitalism)’. The labour conceptual frame is hegemonic because the relation between race and class already presupposes a latent Marxist orientation to subjects, objects, consciousness, and history that renders perfect the slave’s objective impossibility and culminates, at the nexus of race and class, in an uncritical conversion of labour’s objective possibility into pure, unmediated possibility. This article tracks how the black worker remains stubbornly impossible throughout this theoretical convergence, bending the apparatus of labour history, the purchase of Marxist theory, and the salience of class-first politics through the excess of blackness to labour.
对资本主义批判而言,劳动不仅是被类比的奴隶制,而且是具体化和扩大的奴隶制。在整个马克思主义领域,阶级斗争的前提是不做奴隶的斗争:"工人 "的斗争打击的是同时更为复杂的奴隶制,因为它更为中介化,也隐含着更大的解放性,因为它具体化了所谓的 "客观可能性"。在本文中,我追踪了在讲述 "新劳工史 "时劳工对奴隶制的潜移默化,并以 "客观不可能性 "作为对奴隶政治立场更开放、更有效的诊断。尽管美国劳工史的句子充满了团结的希望,但这一领域也仍然是一个充满对立、死亡、失败和限制的不稳定的地雷。我认为,这部劳工史尽管对 "种族 "问题做出了姿态,但在语法上却陷入了西尔维亚-温特(Sylvia Wynter)命名为 "劳工概念框架(即反资本主义斗争框架)的霸权 "的欲望之网。劳动概念框架之所以具有霸权地位,是因为种族与阶级之间的关系已经预设了马克思主义对主体、客体、意识和历史的潜在取向,这种取向使奴隶的客观不可能性变得完美无缺,并在种族与阶级的结合点上,最终将劳动的客观可能性不加批判地转化为纯粹的、未经中介的可能性。本文追踪了黑人工人如何在这一理论趋同的过程中顽固地保持不可能,通过黑人对劳动的过度,弯曲了劳动史的装置、马克思主义理论的购买力和阶级优先政治的突出性。

Word.Afterward: On the Blackness of Thoreau's Thinking 字.后记论梭罗思想的黑色幽默

This essay surveys Henry David Thoreau’s extensive commentary on slavery and freedom in the 1840s and 50s, tracking the ways he toggles between the literal (i.e., the institutions of racial chattel and capital’s value-form resisted by civil disobedience and reconfigured by civil war) and the figurative (i.e., the existential and spiritual slavery evaded by the individual and collective attainment of ‘real values’), and how his natural philosophy at once illuminates and obscures the true stakes of his abolitionism and that of his fellow Transcendentalists. It notes that there is much to be said for and much yet to be done on the burgeoning intersectional critique of Transcendentalism, one that highlights both its strengths and limitations—or, at times, its outright problems—regarding race, nation, class, gender, sexuality et al. So too for the literature celebrating Thoreau ‘as much for his politics as his aesthetics,’ avowing how his ‘reform writings and lectures alone have earned him the reputation of being a social activist who didn’t rest on high-minded principles.’ The focus here is adjacent and complementary: to consider the prospects of a Black Transcendentalism that is coeval with and prior to Thoreau's articulation of the principles of ‘Elevation’ and ‘Emancipation.’ Beyond that, it speculates about something like the blackness of Thoreau’s own evolving relation to the political-intellectual movement of Transcendentalism itself.
这篇文章研究了亨利-戴维-梭罗在 19 世纪 40 年代和 50 年代对奴隶制和自由的广泛评论,追踪了他在字面意义(即通过非暴力反抗和内战重构的种族动产制度和资本的价值形式)和形象意义(即通过个人和集体实现 "真正的价值 "而逃避的存在和精神奴役)之间切换的方式,以及他的自然哲学如何既照亮又掩盖了他和他的废奴主义的真正利害关系、以及他的自然哲学如何既照亮又掩盖了他和他的超验主义者的废奴主义的真正利害关系。该书指出,对于正在兴起的超验主义交叉性批判,有很多值得称道之处,也有很多工作有待完成,这种批判强调了超验主义在种族、民族、阶级、性别、性取向等方面的优势和局限性,有时甚至是赤裸裸的问题。"赞美梭罗的文献'既赞美他的政治,也赞美他的美学',"梭罗说,"仅他的改革著作和演讲就为他赢得了社会活动家的美誉,但他并没有高高在上的原则。这里的重点是相邻的和互补的:考虑黑人超验主义的前景,这种超验主义与梭罗阐述的 "提升 "和 "解放 "原则共存,并先于梭罗。除此之外,它还推测了梭罗自身与超验主义政治-思想运动本身不断演变的黑人关系。

The Crisis of Truth 真相危机

David Marriott
This essay explores various meanings of the word crisis ( krisis): in philosophy, law, and psychoanalysis; but also in relation to truth, law, judgement, and thinking. In various axioms—on truth and negation; and on being and reproduction—the essay asks why blackness is often excluded from crisis theory. I then go on to explore the unintended consequences and complications of this exclusion in respective works by Donald Winnicott (on tolerance and contraception), and then only through what is deemed to be neither an object nor a relation, neither a negation nor a phantasy. In the wake of these lacunae I conclude: blackness is an example of an unthought, and that this n’est pas cannot be thought, or determined, as krisis.
本文探讨了危机(krisis)一词的各种含义:在哲学、法律和精神分析中的含义,以及与真理、法律、判断和思维有关的含义。在关于真理与否定、存在与再生产的各种公理中,文章提出了为什么黑人常常被排除在危机理论之外的问题。然后,我在唐纳德-温尼科特(Donald Winnicott)的相关作品(关于宽容和避孕)中探讨了这种排斥的意外后果和复杂性,然后才通过被认为既不是对象也不是关系、既不是否定也不是幻象的东西进行了探讨。在这些空白之后,我得出结论:黑人是一个未被思考的例子,而这种 "不是"(n'est pas)不能被思考,也不能被确定为 "克里斯"(krisis)。

Blackness, Repetition, and Non-Philosophy 黑色、重复与非哲学

Anthony Paul Farley
This essay considers the spectacle of slavery that is death, and death only which continually persists as slavery-to-segregation-to-neosegregation or otherwise understood as a system of white-over-black. By observing the motionless movement of death perfecting itself (neither as life nor as historical time, progress, the human, or development), I argue that law makes death sovereign. The essay pursues this line of inquiry by considering a. capitalism as a system of spectacular relationships, a system of legal relationships, that places death atop everything and as a faith expressed in the gospel of legal method and its false promise of perpetual progress. And b. law as a structure analogous to the unconscious since it exists outside of time. In placing these two concerns together, it considers a sort of magical thinking of law—a make-believe realm in which rules appear to somehow govern themselves and an ‘us’ that seemingly masks over and absolves the system of white-over-black. Such banishment, whereby the system of white-over-black banished from the realm of the spectacle, is by that act repatriated to and given sovereignty over the world of the real, the world of historical time.
这篇文章探讨了奴隶制的景象--死亡,而死亡只是作为奴隶制--种族隔离--种族隔离或以其他方式理解为白人统治黑人的制度而持续存在。通过观察死亡完善自身(既不是作为生命,也不是作为历史时间、进步、人类或发展)的静止不动的运动,我认为法律使死亡成为主权。这篇文章通过对以下两个方面的思考来追寻这一思路:a. 资本主义是一种壮观的关系体系,一种法律关系体系,它将死亡置于一切之上,是一种信仰,表现为法律方法的福音及其对永久进步的虚假承诺。b. 法律是一种类似于无意识的结构,因为它存在于时间之外。在将这两个问题放在一起时,它考虑的是一种神奇的法律思维--一个虚幻的领域,在这个领域中,规则似乎以某种方式自我管理,一个 "我们 "似乎掩盖了白加黑的体系,并为其开脱。这种 "放逐 "将 "白加黑 "体系从奇观领域中放逐出去,并通过这一行为将其归还给真实世界,即历史时间世界,并赋予其主权。

An ‘Inhumanist’ School? “非人道主义”学派?

This review article offers an introductory overview of a distinctive broadly ‘deconstructive’ body of work which deserves to be more widely known. Two books in particular, by Claire Colebrook, Tom Cohen and J. Hillis Miller, are an especial focus, with their uncompromising readings of many of the assumptions and evasions in the environmental humanities. These are Theory and the Disappearing Future: On de Man, On Benjamin (London, Routledge, 2012), and Twilight of the Anthropocene Idols (Open Humanities Press, 2016).
这篇评论文章提供了一个独特的广泛的“解构”的工作主体的介绍性概述,值得更广泛地了解。克莱尔·科尔布鲁克、汤姆·科恩和j·希利斯·米勒的两本书尤其引人注目,它们毫不妥协地解读了环境人文学科中的许多假设和回避。它们是《理论与消失的未来:论德人》、《论本雅明》(伦敦,劳特利奇出版社,2012)和《人类世偶像的黄昏》(开放人文出版社,2016)。

T. Morton, N. Royle
These are the first published extracts of a Covid-19 diary, co-written over two years (2020–22). The authors are concerned to both record and analyse the ways in which the Covid-19 pandemic altered the sense and experience of inside and outside, home and world, self and other. Grief—both personal and ecological—is uncircumventable. At the same time, the virus provokes critical thinking on how ‘another life is possible’. Literature and music are key forces in the authors' shared and interweaving reflections.
这是新冠肺炎日记的首次出版摘录,该日记是两年(2020-22)共同撰写的。作者关注的是记录和分析新冠肺炎大流行改变了内外、家与世界、自我与他人的感觉和体验的方式。悲伤——无论是个人的还是生态的——都是无法循环的。与此同时,这种病毒引发了人们对“另一种生命是可能的”的批判性思考。文学和音乐是作者共同思考和交织思考的关键力量。

The House That Jacques Built (Goes up in Flames); or, Mal d’Écologie 雅克建造的房子(在火焰中升起);或者,Mal d ' Écologie

Although much headway has been made since the Derridean notion of the ‘general text’ was recuperated by eco-critics to imbue the philosophy of life with deconstructive rigor, the recent publication of Jacques Derrida’s Life Death seminar provides an opportunity for a renewed engagement. Parallel to his sustained elaboration of a non-dialectical reckoning with life (death) were a series of developments in the study of thermodynamic complex systems that similarly sought to demystify the pervasive vitalism within the life sciences. Derrida’s grammatological interrogation of the life/death dialectic takes the ‘textualization’ of genetic life as a starting point for articulating a logic of supplementarity that reorients our position in relation to our lived environments. ‘Writing’, however, cannot help but invoke the archive along with all its destructive impulses ( Destruktionstrieb). If the archive invokes the law of the house ( oikos), then the archive perhaps names the archive of the archive, which Derrida was all too aware of as the site for the annihilation of memory and the release of pure loss. A grammatological reading of this entropic textuality would thus consider how the irreducibility of absolute destruction might nevertheless offer a path ‘toward the incalculability of another thought of life.’
尽管自德里达的“一般文本”概念被生态评论家恢复,以解构的严谨性灌输生命哲学以来,已经取得了很大进展,但雅克·德里达的《生死研讨会》最近的出版为重新参与提供了机会。在他持续阐述对生命(死亡)的非辩证清算的同时,热力学复杂系统研究的一系列发展也同样试图揭开生命科学中普遍存在的生命论的神秘面纱。德里达对生/死辩证法的语法审问将基因生命的“文本化”作为阐明补充逻辑的起点,重新定位我们与生活环境的关系。”然而,“写作”不能不调用档案及其所有破坏性冲动(Destruktionstrieb)。如果档案馆援引了家庭法(oikos),那么档案馆可能会命名档案馆的档案馆,德里达非常清楚这是毁灭记忆和释放纯粹损失的场所。因此,对这种熵文本性的语法解读将考虑绝对毁灭的不可还原性如何提供一条“通往另一种生命思想的不可估量的道路”
