Discourse

“Fuck that thing.” That’s all punk needs.

Afropunk Philology

“The thing about punk is that you’re allowed to talk about anything. Kids can talk about whatever they want. There’s nobody saying, ‘No, you can’t do that, it’s not punk.’”

“If I could have one selfish wish, it would be that I could sing or play an instrument. I played bass for eight years, and I suck. It just doesn’t work with my brain, but art always has.’”

Digital disrupture

The machine remains alien to any mechanical limitation.

We really need an analysis of algorithmic conditions and their paradoxes and ambiguities that gives them an adequate framework and horizon. But instead we currently seem to be finding an algorithmic solution of the algorithmic, much as digital solutions are being offered for the problems of the digital public sphere, in the way that IT corporations, for example, use exclusively mathematical procedures to evaluate and delete “fake news,” inappropriate portrayals, or the violation of personal rights. This tends to result in a circularity that leaves the drawing of boundaries and raising of barriers solely to programming, instead of restoring them to our ethical conscience and understanding of what the social could mean today. The machine, by contrast, remains alien to any mechanical limitation—just as its inability to decide lies in the impossibility of self-calculation. The nucleus of digital culture should instead be sought where the cultural of culture is located:...

Gedanken zu Kredit und Krise

Krise – kaum ein Begriff hat in jüngster Zeit eine solche Konjunktur erlebt, doch kann die inflationäre Rede von Banken- und Finanzkrise kaum darüber hinwegtäuschen, dass der globale ökonomische Kollaps mehr untergraben hat als unser Vertrauen in den Markt allein: Wir erleben derzeit eine veritable Glaubenskrise, die das Wertesystem der...

Von der Diktatur des Marktes über die Gesellschaft

Ein eindringliches, bestens informiertes und wichtiges Buch. Christian Marazzi liefert in Verbranntes Geld eine innovative Analyse der Finanzökonomie, die heute die Wirtschaftskreisläufe in ihrer Gesamtheit durchdringt. Die globale Krise des Finanzkapitalismus ist nicht etwa eine unproduktive oder parasitäre Abweichung auf dem Weg zu mehr Wachstum. Im Gegenteil, es offenbart sich...

Zur Herrschaft der Finanzialisierung

Seit dem Zusammenbruch der Banken im Jahr 2008 scheint der Kapitalismus in eine Phase anhaltender Stagnation sowie geopolitischer und monetärer Instabilität eingetreten zu sein. Das Szenario, das sich vor unseren Augen abspielt, lässt an eine Art »Sozialismus des Kapitals« denken: Der Staat, der die Bedürfnisse der »Finanzsowjets« sichert, erlegt der...

The Past's Threshold

There can be no doubt, however, that in Kracauer’s texts published at the turn of the 1920s and the 1930s from his position as an editor of the cultural pages at the daily newspaper Frankfurter Zeitung, then in the 1950s during his American period, he sketches out a theorisation of photography that can be described as groundbreaking. But it is also true that most of his works overlap, in more than one way, with this medium of reproduction or that...
