In finding a way to measure the risk of a deal within the time frame of the deal, investors were allowed to hedge their bets on the bets that other investors made, thereby allowing this cascading structure of hedged bets and externalized risks to constitute a category of commodity all its own.

We were in movement, and movement meant that every week he would come into the classroom with copies of articles from major newspapers, academic journals, and a wide range of magazines. He would distribute them, ask about the ones from last week, and usually launch into an analy sis of why it was important that a certain author got space to write something challenging white supremacy, or that a certain enemy was able to perpetuate another sham argument. There was constant attention to international politics and what used to be called "national affairs. " His lessons didn't end in the classroom. If you stopped by his office, you were likely to be walked around the room or directed to go pick up more articles and books. We liked going to his office because he'd commandeered a large common table where he worked on a typewriter at one end while having laid out all these materials across the table. His office was really a situation room. And more often than not, a session in the situation room ended with an invitation for dinner at the house Professor Kilson shared with his partner, the anthropologist Professor Marion Kilson. Class would then recommence on the ride to their home and continue through the preparation and eating of our meal and end with coffee in a study that felt more like the situation room's deep archive. And you would leave-of course, with more articles and already annotated copies of his working manuscripts-full from Martin's cooking and happy from Marion's manhattans. At our last dinner with Professor Kilson, he playfully, but seriously, accused us of having no stomach for incrementalism. We made the mistake of dropping an offhanded insult of Barack Obama, and he gave us our

In this article we consider ways by which music might be a mode of planning opposed to individuation and measure, and beyond the instrumentalities to which music itself is often submitted. We do so by thinking about how jazz—where it takes on the improvisatory character of the busker, rehearsal, or jam—becomes a form of love. We consider the song as an expression of antagonism that the song itself cannot contain. We ask if we might conceive music as a mode of criminality opposed to the violence and discipline imposed upon the body by capital. We look to understand capitalism by situating the plantation system at its center. We ask what sort of place our listening takes place in and how the song might inhabit it. We wonder what it might mean for all of this to remain unresolved, and how to remain attuned to that irresolut...

It argues that meritocracy, far from being a system for the management of scarce resources, is in fact the imposition of scarcity. It uses the example of the university in Singapore as the prime site for the production of meritocratic ideology and considers the consequences of meritocratic higher education as it articulates with meritocracy more generally in the Singapore polity.

Creative Industries as Underdevelopment

by Stefano Harney and TONIKA SEALY THOMPSON

The Chronic - Chimurenga, 2015

Stefano Harney and Tonika Sealy, founding members of Ground Provisions, an educational and curatorial collective in Barbados, argue that nouveau creative compradors are getting rich through cultural reappropriation. "Creative industries" is an increasingly popular term which refers to a range of economic activities that contribute to generating information, knowledge and cultural identity, including film, music, architecture, fashion, education, digital technologies and gaming development. "Underdevelopment", on the other hand, is a term that is rapidly being forgotten. We find this curious, particularly because, in our contention, the creative industries are busy underdeveloping cities across the global South. It is easy to understand the ideological power of the creative industries and the pull of the idea of creative cities as a development strategy in countries of the global South with large and often vulnerable urban populations. But it is also easy to see the structural distortion produced by this fashionable, "industrial" strategy. Anyone who goes to an art museum or a concert hall or a festival in most countries in the global South will surely notice a dual economy: there are people who sell art and make a lot of money, and there are people who sell the tickets, the beer, or the chicken, who do not. This is not going to change no matter how big the festival gets, and no matter how much chicken gets sold. It might be better to have the chance to sell beer than not sell beer. But to support the strategy of creative cities amounts to making the same argument made by colonisers, who claimed that colonial countries would develop despite selling cheap and buying dear. In the creative industries, not only does the beer seller sell cheap, she also buys dear. The creative industries do nothing to slow underdevelopment. When the economy of the many is structured to serve the few, that economy and its people are underdeveloped, even as overdevelopment looms directly above them. This is also why one can see the appeal of the creative industries to policy makers and the ruling classes. It will make a comprador class rich, as it already has in Mumbai, Cape Town, and Shanghai. And yet, unlike the comprador class that relied on metropolitan support and alliance, this new rich class is fully integrated and employs the fruits of its

We write, we organise with others, we make movies, work with artists and curate music and film. We travel the Afro-Asian century. We work in the Caribbean and we work in Asia. But if we were to return to the source, this source would be our reading camp. We conceived of the reading camp as a kind of refuge where people can read together. We use the word refuge because the camp involves reading in a quiet place, a place of contemplation and reflection. We read together and to each other and by reading together we make this refuge a place of conversation, discussion and conviviality. It's a retreat, but one we make together. And this is why we call it a refuge. We retreat together. We read together. We read to each other. When we offer a reading residency at our base in Barbados, we offer it to read together.

O primeiro, doutor em Letras pela Universidade da Califórnia, é professor na Universidade de Nova York. O segundo, doutor em Ciências Sociais e Políticas pela Universidade de Cambridge, é professor na European Graduate School, tendo ambos passado por diferentes instituições universitárias. Também transitam fora da universidade, com destaque para a participação em diferentes grupos de estudo, incluindo o Le Mardi Gras Listening Collective, mas é a universidade o ponto de partida ou território existencial de suas análises dialógicas, sendo o livro Sobcomuns sua obra inaugural, fruto de uma amizade iniciada ainda quando eram estudantes de graduação na década de 1980 em Harvard. Os ensaios que compõem o livro começaram a ser escritos em 2003, em con uência com o movimento antiguerra diante da invasão do Iraque pelos Estados Unidos, sendo concluídos em 2012, num momento de grande revolta frente ao assassinato de Trayvonn Martin na Flórida, além das manifestações e acampamentos insurgentes desse mesmo período. O livro foi publicado em 2013, ano de de agração do movimento internacional Black Lives Matter, Vidas Negras Importam. Nesse sentido, Sobcomuns foi gestado para re etir sobre o que estava acontecendo naquele período nos Estados Unidos, sem se limitar a esse Estado-nação. Essa análise passa a ser situada pelo simples fato de a universidade ser o local de trabalho em que estavam quando essas coisas aconteciam, ao mesmo tempo em que se propuseram a pensar as condições do trabalho acadêmico, procurando sobretudo entender como a universidade "nos pro ssionalizou, nos isolou e nos capturou", evocando uma passagem da entrevista. Nas palavras de Denise Ferreira da Silva, "Sobcomuns é uma intervenção poderosa e necessária que nos convida a imaginar e realizar a vida social e a con guração neoliberal da universidade atual de outra maneira". Em entrevista exclusiva ao Le Monde Diplomatique Brasil a respeito da publicação do livro Sobcomuns no Brasil, Fred Moten e Stefano Harney falam sobre a tradição radical negra, o contexto de criação do livro, o fundamento do trabalho colaborativo, os conceitos mobilizados, os perigos da individuação, a abolição da universidade, a tradução de seus livros, as continuidades e descontinuidades entre eles, bem como os projetos em curso e porvir, com destaque para o educador Paulo Freire.

Or, perhaps, it is the lesser because what we call desire is but the presence of a demand to choose, to decide, to pick one and only one, and go your merry way. Either way, the algorithm, the formal deciding tools of logistical capital fails where it has to work with more than what is adequate for it to do its thing, to choose, to decide. When the input does not match the data, the process stalls. An input, any input is always less than a thing. It is never raw material; it is never just something. Input is data, it has a form and a purpose. It is always ready to be in relation, to make a connection. Which means also that, for it to work, for the algorithm to do its thing, the input it needs to fit as part in the structure and be able to facilitate the procedure it is submitted to, it needs to be processable. This is way an input cannot be a thing. It is always an object. Despite of what Heidegger may say it is, the thing does not exist exclusively for the existential thing. Nor does Descartes' exercise on mental fitness immediately and irrevocability renders a thing res extensa. More along the lines of what Kant realized, the thing exceeds whatever can be apprehended as form, as object or data. As such, a thing always mismatches the structure (and do so

Moten reminds us that even as Fanon took an anti-colonial stance, he knew that it "looks crazy" but, Fanon, as a psychiatrist, also knew not to accept this organic division between the rational and the crazy and he knew that it would be crazy for him not to take that stance in a world that had assigned to him the role of the unreal, the primitive and the wild. Fanon, according to Moten, wants not the end of colonialism but the end of the standpoint from which colonialism makes sense. In order to bring colonialism to an end then, one does not speak truth to power, one has to inhabit the crazy, nonsensical, ranting language of the other, the other who has been rendered a nonentity by colonialism.
