Proliferating Limits: Capitalist Dynamics, Oikonomia and Border Technologies

Implicit or not, there persists a view of capitalism in which the border is understood as extraneous to the inherent tendencies of capital. In this, capital and the state are regarded as distinctive logics, the first inclined to overtake limits,

Trading Futures, Consolidating Student Debt

Do denunciations of debt servitude imply a critique of the indentured labour that debt obliges or do they merely demand its reallocation according to the seemingly natural lines of race, gender and class? Debt includes a salient instance of speculation

Legal, Tender: The Genealogical Economy of Pride, Debt, and Origin

Capitalism is no more essentially deterritorializing than it can survive across time and extend across space without the periodic restoration of limits. Genealogy marks those limits. And it does so more emphatically, and often violently, in capitalism’s most precarious moments

Borders 2.0 – Future, Tense

Arrayed beyond and around the obvious walls of migration control, the architectures and technologies of the border proliferate. These technologies seek to sort, expunge, confine and delay; to sift potential value from non-value; to fix the border inside and round
