Past-Modernism, or the Cultural Logic of High Fascism: Toward an Architecture of Italian Difference, 1936–1942 过去现代主义,或高度法西斯主义的文化逻辑:走向意大利差异建筑,1936-1942

This article uses the category of difference—a critical tool used by post-structuralist, postmodernist, and postcolonial theorists—to interrogate Italian Fascist architecture of the late interwar period. I show how architecture for the 1942 Rome World’s Fair created an identitarian aesthetic that hybridized rectilinear facades of modernism with arches and columns of Roman antiquity. I argue this aesthetic represented Fascism’s resistance to the universalizing impulse of modern industrial society, which Fascists identified with modernist architecture. To counter, planners rendered “irreducible” cultural difference as Fascism’s standpoint of resistance to capitalism’s abstract and universal materializations. By designating the aesthetic “past-modernist,” this work underscores Fascism’s claim to simultaneously return to “ethno-cultural origins” and transcend modernism. Past-modernism, though, anticipates postmodernism. The conclusion considers past-modernism alongside recent theories that posit “cultural antecedents” as resistance to capitalism, arguing that Fascism’s claim of difference shows the limits of identitarian movements to realize freedom from domination.
本文利用后结构主义、后现代主义和后殖民主义理论家使用的批判工具“差异”这一类别来质疑两次世界大战后期的意大利法西斯建筑。我展示了1942年罗马世界博览会的建筑是如何创造出一种身份主义美学的,它将现代主义的直线立面与罗马古代的拱门和柱子相结合。我认为这种美学代表了法西斯主义对现代工业社会普遍化冲动的抵抗,法西斯主义者将其与现代主义建筑联系在一起。与之相反,规划者将“不可减少”的文化差异作为法西斯主义反抗资本主义抽象和普遍物化的立场。通过将美学指定为“过去的现代主义”,这部作品强调了法西斯主义同时回归“民族文化起源”和超越现代主义的主张。然而,过去的现代主义预示着后现代主义。该结论将过去的现代主义与最近的理论相结合,认为“文化先例”是对资本主义的抵抗,认为法西斯主义对差异的主张表明了身份主义运动实现摆脱统治自由的局限性。

Individualism in America: Alexis de Tocqueville Discovers a New World of Liberal Politics 美国的个人主义:亚历克西斯·德·托克维尔发现了一个自由政治的新世界
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2023-03-01 DOI: 10.1086/724270
Michael Zakim
This article examines the radical, if not subversive, nature of individualism, as originally expounded by Alexis de Tocqueville in the second volume of Democracy in America in 1840, arguably the most important study of liberal political theory written to this day. Tocqueville drew on the neologism individualism to explain the implausible emergence of democracy as a viable form of government. “Individualism in America” addresses the restless result while exploring additional developments central to the making of a new world of liberal politics, including the rise of a cult of the new (or what contemporaries began to call progress), the plasticity of a social order resting on personal ambition, the transfer of power from formal ruling institutions to what Tocqueville referred to as cultural mores, and the search for sources of common sense in a civilization organized around the first person singular.
这篇文章探讨了个人主义的激进性,如果不是颠覆性的话,正如亚历克西斯·德·托克维尔在1840年《美国民主》第二卷中最初阐述的那样,这可以说是迄今为止对自由主义政治理论最重要的研究。托克维尔借用新词“个人主义”来解释民主作为一种可行的政府形式的难以置信的出现。“美国的个人主义”解决了这一不安的结果,同时探索了自由政治新世界的核心发展,包括对新事物的崇拜(或同时代人开始称之为进步)的兴起,基于个人野心的社会秩序的可塑性,权力从正式的统治机构转移到托克维尔所说的文化习俗,以及在围绕第一人称单数组织的文明中寻找常识的来源。

From Inclusive Informality to Alienating Inclusion: The Rise of Mexico’s Debtfare Society on the Urban Fringes of Guadalajara 从包容的非正式到疏远的包容:瓜达拉哈拉城市边缘墨西哥债务社会的兴起

This article ethnographically traces the social transformation brought about by Mexico’s 2001 housing reform to argue that financial inclusion restructured Mexican society and conditioned a shift away from a social order of inclusive informality to one defined by alienating inclusion. Financial inclusion upended the social arrangements that underpinned Mexico’s old urban periphery, which exhibited high levels of social cohesion and strong horizontal relations based on reciprocity and trust. As the reform unleashed mortgage finance to erect vast, peripheral housing complexes and make formal homeowners out of Mexico’s urban poor, the households inhabiting these new urban worlds came to experiment with, and ultimately depend on, consumer credit finance to sustain themselves. The “debtfare” society that matured with the financial inclusion of Mexico’s urban poor is now marked by atomization, social isolation, and uncertainty as the beneficiaries of Mexico’s housing reform adapt and respond to their incorporation into global financial flows.
这篇文章从种族学角度追溯了墨西哥2001年住房改革带来的社会变革,认为金融包容性重组了墨西哥社会,并使其从包容性的非正规社会秩序转变为疏远包容性的社会秩序。金融包容性颠覆了支撑墨西哥旧城市边缘的社会安排,旧城市边缘表现出高度的社会凝聚力和基于互惠和信任的强大横向关系。随着改革释放了抵押贷款融资,以建立庞大的外围住房综合体,并使墨西哥城市穷人成为正式的房主,居住在这些新城市世界的家庭开始尝试并最终依赖消费信贷融资来维持生计。随着墨西哥城市穷人的金融包容性而成熟的“债务家庭”社会,随着墨西哥住房改革的受益者适应并应对其融入全球金融流动,现在呈现出原子化、社会孤立和不确定性的特点。

On the Centrality of the Subject: French Marxism and the Sève-Althusser Correspondence 论主体的中心性:法国马克思主义与<s:1> -阿尔都塞书信
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2022-09-01 DOI: 10.1086/721834
J. Collins
By the 1960s Louis Althusser and Lucien Sève were two leading philosophers in the French Communist Party. Their aim was to build a stronger theoretical foundation for the party by returning to the letter of Marx’s texts and purging French Marxism of its idealist tendencies. They soon came to disagree, however, over basic issues—of dialectics, structure, crisis—and especially over questions of subjectivity and humanism. Whereas Althusser hoped to “decenter” the subject and break with all notions of humanism, Sève believed that Marxism was constituted as a “theory of personality,” a new kind of humanism that provided insight into the psychological structures of capitalism. Using their recently published correspondence as a frame, this article examines how Althusser and Sève generated distinct models for understanding the role of the individual in society and helped shape the French Communist Party’s theory and strategy in the 1960s and 1970s.
到20世纪60年代,路易·阿尔都塞和吕西安·桑提夫是法国共产党的两位主要哲学家。他们的目的是通过回归马克思文本的文字,清除法国马克思主义的理想主义倾向,为党的建立一个更强大的理论基础。然而,他们很快就在辩证法、结构、危机等基本问题上产生了分歧,尤其是在主体性和人文主义问题上。阿尔都塞希望将主题“去中心化”,打破人文主义的所有观念,而s夫则认为马克思主义是一种“人格理论”,一种新的人文主义,它提供了对资本主义心理结构的洞察。本文以他们最近发表的通信为框架,考察了阿尔都塞和s是如何在理解个人在社会中的角色方面产生了不同的模式,并在20世纪60年代和70年代帮助塑造了法国共产党的理论和战略。

Across the Cordon of the Color Bar: Japan and Korea as Subjects in the Capitalist World of Exhibitions 隔着色条的警戒线:日本和韩国作为资本主义展览世界的主题
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2022-09-01 DOI: 10.1086/721841

Analyzing late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century expositions and their “human zoos” as instances of racialist subsumption of the colonies, I argue that they gave rise to a new form of objectification and subjectivity that cannot be subsumed into colonial or anticolonial dichotomies. In particular, I focus on the case of Japan and Korea as two countries whose fate diverged on the fair site and compare Japanese and American use of the fair as a means of claiming higher status in the racialized global hierarchy. Their convergence upon the so-called civilizing mission presaged the Taft-Katsura Agreement (1905) and facilitated Japan’s colonization of Korea in 1910. At the same time, however, Korean voices from inside the Japanese exhibition give a glimpse of new modern subjectivities that were forged in the furnace of colonial commodification.
分析19世纪末和20世纪初的展览和他们的“人类动物园”作为殖民地种族主义包容的实例,我认为它们产生了一种新的客观化和主体性形式,不能被纳入殖民或反殖民的二分法。我特别关注了日本和韩国这两个在博览会上命运不同的国家的情况,并比较了日本和美国利用博览会作为在种族化的全球等级制度中要求更高地位的手段。他们在所谓的教化使命上的趋同预示了《塔夫脱-桂协定》(1905年)的签订,并促成了日本在1910年对朝鲜的殖民统治。然而,与此同时,来自日本展览内部的韩国人的声音,让我们瞥见了在殖民商品化的熔炉中锻造出来的新的现代主体性。

Class Power in Hard Times: Excavating Nicos Poulantzas’s Theory of the Capitalist State through the History of the 2007–2008 Crisis 艰难时期的阶级权力:从2007-2008年危机史挖掘波兰萨斯的资本主义国家理论

After the 2007–8 financial crisis, the fortunes of the American financial class remained surprisingly secure. This owed to the state’s extraordinary set of bailout measures. How do we theoretically make sense of the state’s class bias? Most prevailing state theories are agnostic to class. This is a sharp departure from their neo-Marxist predecessors, particularly Nicos Poulantzas, who argued that capitalist states support the dominant class faction. To recenter the politics of class, I discuss Poulantzas’s ideas in the context of the 2007–8 crisis in the United States. Arguing against criticisms that he was functionalist and ahistorical, I show how he theorized moments of historical change. To demonstrate the utility of his ideas in recent history, I apply them to the history of the capitalist crisis of the 1970s when dominant form of capital shifted from big industry to finance. I then discuss some ways that state responses to financial crises effectively safeguarded this class. This article casts a new theoretical light on the history of the 2007–8 crisis and seeks to revive an interest in a radical theory of the capitalist state.
在2007-2008年金融危机之后,美国金融阶层的财富保持着令人惊讶的稳定。这要归功于该州一系列非同寻常的救助措施。我们如何从理论上理解国家的阶级偏见?大多数主流的国家理论对阶级是不可知论的。这与他们的新马克思主义前辈,特别是尼科斯·普兰扎斯(Nicos Poulantzas)截然不同,后者认为资本主义国家支持占主导地位的阶级派系。为了重新进入阶级政治,我在2007-2008年美国危机的背景下讨论了普兰萨斯的思想。在反驳关于他是功能主义者和非历史主义者的批评时,我展示了他是如何将历史变化的时刻理论化的。为了证明他的思想在近代史上的效用,我将其应用于20世纪70年代资本主义危机的历史,当时资本的主导形式从大工业转向金融。然后,我讨论了国家对金融危机的反应如何有效地保护这一阶层。这篇文章为2007-2008年危机的历史提供了新的理论视角,并试图重振人们对资本主义国家激进理论的兴趣。

Revolution and Extinction: The Chrono-Economics of Capitalism 革命与灭绝:资本主义的时间经济学
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2022-09-01 DOI: 10.1086/721836
Trevor A. Jackson
There is an increasing sense that capitalism may have broken time itself and now is rushing human society toward a catastrophic extinction event. But despite a substantial body of literature on capitalist temporalities and another on the ruptures in historicity that attended the French Revolution, there has not yet been an exploration of the fact that the two intersect in the figure of Georges Cuvier. He and his followers formed a school of “catastrophists,” who raised questions about the finitude of time and of the natural world. Their ideas were ultimately defeated, relegating catastrophism to the category of pseudoscience until it returned under a variety of different scientific, philosophical, and political guises in the 1980s. Since capital is predicated on future returns, capitalism on continual growth, and continual growth on unlimited natural resources, the lost “chrono-economics” of finitude and catastrophe offers a repressed alternative to the intellectual preconditions for industrial capitalism.
越来越多的人认为,资本主义可能已经打破了时间本身,现在正将人类社会推向灾难性的灭绝事件。但是,尽管有大量的文献研究资本主义的时代性,也有一些文献研究法国大革命带来的历史性断裂,但还没有人探讨这两者在乔治·居维叶身上的交集。他和他的追随者组成了一个“灾难论者”学派,他们对时间和自然世界的有限性提出了质疑。他们的想法最终被击败,将灾变论归入伪科学的范畴,直到20世纪80年代,它以各种不同的科学、哲学和政治伪装回归。由于资本以未来回报为基础,资本主义以持续增长为基础,而持续增长又以无限的自然资源为基础,因此,关于有限和灾难的“时间经济学”已经消失,它为工业资本主义的智力先决条件提供了一种被压抑的替代方案。

Modern Dramas: Transcendence and Immanence in Power in Modernity 现代戏剧:现代性中权力的超越与内在
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2022-09-01 DOI: 10.1086/721833
Tad Skotnicki
I n one of her many efforts to think about the modern, Hannah Arendt turned to a parable of Franz Kafka ’ s. It begins, “ He has two antagonists: the fi rst presses him from behind, from the origin. The second blocks the road ahead. He gives battle to both. To be sure, the fi rst supports him in his fi ght with the second, for he wants to push him forward, and in the same way, the second supports him in his fi ght with the fi rst, since he drives him back. But it is only theoretically so. ” 1 She presents this as “ the only exact description ” of an essentially modern predicament: fi nding oneself in a world with “ no willed continuity in time and hence, humanly speaking, neither past nor future, only sempiternal change. ” 2 In Kafka ’ s parable the protagonist is literally caught between past and future. Such a world, as Arendt said elsewhere, requires “ thinking without a banister. ” 3 This thinking without a banister, without a sense of where one is going or where one has come from, is not reserved for political theorists or philosophers. It concerns all of us who have happened to live through or in the wake of countlessrevolutions and upheavals since at leastthe eighteenth century — from the social and political to the scienti fi c and technological. Like Arendt, Isaac Reed puzzles over the hazards and hopes that attend such dys-phoria. These aren ’ t mere abstractions but rather genuine crises that we experience in our often ordinary, sometimes extraordinary lives. It is perhaps, then, no coincidence that Power in Modernity , Reed ’ s vertiginously thoughtful project to reformulate the modern, begins with not one but two parables from Kafka. 4 The fi rst, “ Before
汉娜·阿伦特(Hannah Arendt)在思考现代人的诸多努力中,有一次引用了弗朗茨·卡夫卡(Franz Kafka)的一则寓言,开头写道:“他有两个对手:第一个从背后,从源头压迫他。第二个挡住了前面的路。他向两者宣战。可以肯定的是,第一个支持他与第二个的斗争,因为他想推动他前进,同样,第二个支持他与第一个的斗争,因为他把他赶走了。但这只是理论上的。她认为这是对一种本质上是现代困境的“唯一准确描述”:发现自己身处一个“没有时间连续性的世界,因此,从人类的角度来说,既没有过去也没有未来,只有永恒的变化”。在卡夫卡的寓言中,主人公被困在过去和未来之间。正如阿伦特在别处所说,这样一个世界需要“没有栏杆的思考”。这种没有栏杆的思考,不知道自己要去哪里或从哪里来的思考,并不是政治理论家或哲学家的专利。它关系到我们所有人,我们碰巧经历了至少自18世纪以来无数的革命和动荡,从社会和政治到科学和技术。和阿伦特一样,艾萨克·里德对伴随这种焦虑的危险和希望感到困惑。这些不仅仅是抽象的概念,而是我们在日常生活中所经历的真实危机。因此,里德以卡夫卡的两个寓言作为《现代性中的权力》(Power in Modernity)这本重新表述现代性的令人眼花缭乱的深思熟虑的作品的开头,或许并非巧合

But it is only theoretically so. ” 1 She presents this as “ the only exact description ” of an essentially modern predicament: fi nding oneself in a world with “ no willed continuity in time and hence, humanly speaking, neither past nor future, only sempiternal change. ” 2 In Kafka ’ s parable the protagonist is literally caught between past and future. Such a world, as Arendt said elsewhere, requires “ thinking without a banister. ” 3 This thinking without a banister, without a sense of where one is going or where one has come from, is not reserved for political theorists or philosophers. It concerns all of us who have happened to live through or in the wake of countlessrevolutions and upheavals since at leastthe eighteenth century — from the social and political to the scienti fi c and technological. Like Arendt, Isaac Reed puzzles over the hazards and hopes that attend such dys-phoria. These aren ’ t mere abstractions but rather genuine crises that we experience in our often ordinary, sometimes extraordinary lives. It is perhaps, then, no coincidence that Power in Modernity , Reed ’ s vertiginously thoughtful project to reformulate the modern, begins with not one but two parables from Kafka. 4 The fi rst, “ Before","PeriodicalId":43410,"journal":{"name":"Critical Historical Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60727722","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Reading Gigs Dialectically 辩证地阅读

With gig-based sex work as its analytical lens, this article argues that narratives about the crisis of gigification miss workers’ exits from non-gig employment. It advocates taking gig workers seriously when they say they prefer gigified hustling to clocking in for a middling wage. Gig work’s autonomy, limited as it is, can make the workday materially better. And the platform is not necessarily more powerful, or better able to forge false consciousness, than the cubicle farm or the assembly line. Grounded in sex workers’ critical engagements with the gig economy, the article finds workers armed with sharp class analyses who use gig economies to wrest control over their conditions of work. Their efforts produce uneven ends, but the tactics they deploy and the politics that inform them invite a rethinking of gigification and its stakes for twenty-first-century anti-capitalist struggle.
本文以零工为基础的性工作作为分析视角,认为关于零工化危机的叙述忽略了工人从非零工就业的退出。当零工工人表示,他们更喜欢零工的忙碌,而不是打卡打卡以获得中等工资时,该组织主张认真对待零工工人。零工的自主权虽然有限,但却能让工作日变得更好。平台并不一定比小隔间农场或装配线更强大,或者更能制造虚假意识。文章以性工作者对零工经济的批判性参与为基础,发现工人们拥有敏锐的阶级分析,他们利用零工经济来控制自己的工作条件。他们的努力产生了不平衡的结果,但他们采用的策略和为他们提供信息的政治促使人们重新思考gigification及其在21世纪反资本主义斗争中的利害关系。
