Dream, Clouds, Off, Exile

“Communism will be when we understand something of love.”

In 1844, in the Rue Vanneau no. 22 in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, a journal was founded of which only a single edition was published, a double edition nonetheless, of 237 pages: the Franco-German Yearbooks, edited by Arnold Ruge and Karl Marx. It includes the letter from Marx to Ruge with the famous formulation: “It will then become plain that the world has long since dreamed of something of which it needs only to become conscious for it to...

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:...

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...

Instabilität als Logik der Finanzmärkte selbst

Dass die momentane Krise der Finanzmärkte auch eine Krise der Wirtschaftswissenschaften sei, liest man derzeit immer wieder. Der Marktliberalismus und seine Theorie der »effizienten Märkte« seien gescheitert, es gebe in der ökonomischen Orthodoxie kein Instrumentarium, um »wilde Märkte« zu verstehen – die offenkundig Realität sind. Wie aber lassen sich Instabilitäten...

Das Gespenst des Kapitals

Monograph

« Sur les théâtres de l’économie financière internationale, assiste-t-on à un spectacle relevant de la pure déraison ? »

Dans un contexte de crise financière omniprésente et durablement installée, Joseph Vogl interroge le système capitaliste, ses arcanes, ses modes de fonctionnement, la manière dont il se perpétue. Censé reposer sur une confiance multilatérale, le système des marchés est en réalité traversé d’inquiétude et d’instabilité. Ce qu’on définit comme ses...

A Diary of my Encounters

We rehearsed the crowd scenes in the Winter Palace, in the Throne Room and the Armorial Hall.

Evreinov was occupied with the spectacle’s theatrical, dramaturgical side. Due to its immense size, the production was directed collectively: Evreinov was the director-in-chief, followed by Kugel, Petrov, Derzhavin, and myself. I also designed the scenery and the costumes. My stage sets spanned the entire width of Palace Square and reached up to the third floor of the General Staff. They consisted of two huge platforms (a White and a Red one), connected by a steep bridge. There were around 8,000...
