Abstract

What is nazism if not also the worst moment in the history of technology? “Worst” can serve as a rhetorical qualification of “moment,” which may not be restricted or an indication of closure. The worst moment in the history of technology may not have an off switch, but only a modality of being on. —Ronell 16 Today politics knows no value (and, consequently, no nonvalue) other than life, and until the contradictions that this fact implies are dissolved, Nazism and fascism—which transformed the decision on bare life into the supreme political principle— will remain stubbornly with us. —Agamben, Homo Sacer 10

人性的技术，生命政治的Aporias，和人性的切割体

如果纳粹主义不是科技史上最糟糕的时刻，那又是什么呢?“最坏”可以作为“时刻”的修辞限制，它可能不受限制或表示结束。科技史上最糟糕的时刻可能没有一个关闭开关，而只有一个开启的模式。-罗内尔今天，除了生命，政治不知道什么是有价值的(因此也就不知道什么是非有价值的)，除非这一事实所隐含的矛盾被化解，否则把关于生命的决定转变为最高政治原则的纳粹主义和法西斯主义将顽固地纠缠着我们。——阿甘本《神圣人

期刊介绍： differences: A Journal of Feminist Cultural Studies first appeared in 1989 at the moment of a critical encounter—a head-on collision, one might say—of theories of difference (primarily Continental) and the politics of diversity (primarily American). In the ensuing years, the journal has established a critical forum where the problematic of differences is explored in texts ranging from the literary and the visual to the political and social. differences highlights theoretical debates across the disciplines that address the ways concepts and categories of difference—notably but not exclusively gender—operate within culture.
