Abstract:This essay explores the transhistorical and intersubjective dimension of political acts. It focuses on the complex, contrapuntal relationship between the French and Haitian Revolutions as analyzed by C.L.R. James in The Black Jacobins, which I read alongside Freud's Moses and Monotheism. In exploring the transmission of monotheism from the pharaoh Akhenaton to the Egyptian Moses (and through him to the Jewish religion), and of the doctrine of emancipation from Robespierre to Toussaint L'Ouverture (and back to the French people), Freud and James allow us to think about the role of a founding act in transmitting a political legacy. The act is not of the order of a program or a project, but a real kernel that resists easy codification and translation. Freud describes the act as leaving a "stamp," a kind of impression or inscription. "How," he asks of Moses, "did one single man come to stamp [prägen] his people with its definite character and determine its fate for millennia to come?" This transmission, like that of the Jacobins and their Haitian counterparts, is further remarkable in being non-linear and discontinuous, skipping many generations and crossing continents, but imposing itself nonetheless.
摘要:本文探讨政治行为的超历史维度和主体间性维度。它关注的是C.L.R.詹姆斯(C.L.R. James)在《黑色雅各宾派》(the Black Jacobins)中所分析的法国革命和海地革命之间复杂的对位关系,我把这本书和弗洛伊德的《摩西与一神教》(Moses and Monotheism)放在一起读。在探索一神论从法老阿肯那顿到埃及摩西(并通过他传播到犹太宗教)的传播,以及从罗伯斯庇尔到杜桑·卢维杜尔(并回到法国人民)的解放教义的传播过程中,弗洛伊德和詹姆斯让我们思考了一项创始法案在传播政治遗产中的作用。这个行为不是一个程序或一个项目的顺序,而是一个真正的内核,它抵制简单的编纂和翻译。弗洛伊德将这种行为描述为留下“印记”,一种印象或铭文。“一个人,”他问摩西,“是怎么来给他的人民打上(prägen)明确的性格印记,并决定他们未来几千年的命运的?”这种传承,就像雅各宾派和他们的海地同行一样,在非线性和不连续方面更加引人注目,跨越了许多代人,跨越了大陆,但仍然给人留下了深刻的印象。

Abstract:Neoliberalism has brought the re-privatization and intensification of reproductive labor in the United States. At the same time, the neoliberal state has become more invested in spurring the development of corporate scientific and technological innovations, which are understood as undergirding prosperity and providing solutions to myriad problems. This article argues that the discourse of innovation has helped to justify many neoliberal reforms and constitutes a component of neoliberal rationality. Furthermore, the article theorizes the innovation/reproduction binary to argue that the neoliberal overvaluation of innovation contributes to the continued devaluation of reproductive labor.

Abstract:This essay considers the catastrophe of anthropogenic climate change in relation to two possible critical-theoretic dispositions. The first, represented by an emblematic passage from Adorno, retains the hope for the realization of a "rational society." The second, represented by a complementary passage from Foucault, enjoins critical theory to abandon any ambition toward criticizing or transforming society at a totalizing level. We argue that the unfolding climate catastrophe demands a conception of critical theory more in line with the first disposition, and that the relevance of the skeptical disposition is likewise seriously undermined if climate change is taken into account.

Abstract:Lethal racist violence is a definitive feature of the United States' past and present. America—where over 1,500 women are killed annually—also has a femicide problem, although it is not as prominent in public and scholarly debates. This article theorizes the roles that institutional actors play in allowing lethal racist and sexist violence in the US, examining the relational dynamics among the state, perpetrators, and victims. Drawing upon the theories and critiques of biopolitics, I call this exercise of state power letting kill and illustrate how it operates by increasing the vulnerability of marginalized populations to premature death in contexts where they are already systematically killed. In the US, this becomes especially clear when we pay attention to Black femicide.

time, Ochoa Espejo’s On Borders makes the indispensable point that borders do offer concrete institutional, regulatory, and jurisdictional capacities which are difficult to replicate in an equitable manner. To this end, it is perhaps best to use the power of the border whilst it is still fruitful to live in a bordered reality—and Ochoa Espejo makes a strong case that it is. These debates, like its problems of interest, can only continue. It is clear, however, that Valdez’s Transnational Cosmopolitanism and Ochoa Espejo’s On Borders expand, problematize, and complicate current studies on supranational politics in compelling ways. This proves an impressive feat when writing from a world in which centering place and space unequivocally involves contending with the crown jewel of global order: the nation-state system.
