I want to return to how in fact K3a,2 is a dance of appearances of the doppelpunkt and dialectical weave of emergences of then-current ideas of nature and technology, one out of the other, emergences...

But first, immediately, a detour (itself full of sub-detours back to the main road), via historic change, via the administrative centering of the already centered (so we’re paying attention to the...

Which “when” of this governing relationship to the people, to the press board, to institutionalization itself? Or what is conservatism’s “when”? The “when” of those who are constitutively averse to the...

But perhaps we know where we stand, that social justice, while being allowed for, will occupy the position of “garnish.” Inroads have been made, perhaps a wall has been breached, but the castle, the...

As much as the emergence or non-emergence of form is at stake, the idea of the “new art” is a term of the first order. And we want to be careful here because everything (though we'll return to...

As an aside, there’s a rich nuance to the performativity of this passage in two related moments. As seems clear, in this interrogative that follows the first colon, starting “When and how,” the worlds...

And we do need to dwell here, specifically to contemplate how this introduction of film is taking place. The intervention and introduction of film, in this way, in fact forms another answer, to...

I want here to tentatively move toward a discussion of Favreau’s The Horde as an example of either a new history, a “neuen Kunst,” which would necessarily be anti-capitalist, or a post-Copernican...

This moment of reversal transpires at the juncture between the second and third sentence, specifically between the end of the second sentence “erschließen” (open up), followed by its interrogative...

What the passage is here saying is that its first part, the question of formulation, “illuminates a moment.” There are a number of ways to assess this illumination, but one of its clearest references...

In this way, perhaps encompassing all these things at once, K3a,2 is a series of flashes, most evidently via the multiple emergences (we could call them) of the doppelpunkt. Just like the middle of the...

So that there’s a way that a beginning of a writing is happening before looking at a single word, that is, of passage, but before making a decision on anything to write about. I mean, with the complete...

Favareau’s work recuperates the Horde from the oblivion of historical misconception, from a lack of understanding that is coupled with knee-jerk cliches. To fully trace the Horde’s trajectory is to...

You could time the preparations across the album, you know where Havens is strumming his alternate tunings for what seems like a bit too long, or far too long, or not long enough, before the first...

Favereau launches The Horde with a number of extremely interesting moves. In many ways, the book proceeds by implication. The title of the introduction is “A Power of a New Kind,” and this constitutes...

Because the riff is going to riff outside of the culture industry’s ability to absorb it. You’re taking notes and getting each thing in place, which is the generativity of an awareness that it’s only...

What’s genuine is that the passage launches quickly (to say the least) into a “both” or “either,” beiden, and equally as quickly leaves behind one of these in preference for the other. To use the...

No definitive statement is needed, either about The Horde or about Benjamin, a human being who channeled a work that “overwhelmed” (überwaltigt) him, who gave it passage. But I’d like to continue here...

The veil. At the inauguration of this historical revision that is The Horde, the metaphor of the veil is placed front and center. In itself the veil, in this text, is a flash of revelation and...

But what happens? The topic "commerce" builds until it undergoes an indisputable inversion, you might say at “the juices slow to a standstill,” but really further on in the passage. Given that we are...
