It explains the technologies of critique as a question of organic structure and theatre, which, although not the same, are not essentially different regimes either, superimposing themselves on one another and even substituting the one for the other. André Lalande, in his Dictionnaire philosophique, notes that the concept of structure designates a whole in solidarity with itself, such that each of its elements depends on the others and can only be what it is in and through its relation with them. The chapter tracks the metaphor of structure in the aporias through Aristotle's writing. A structure, Aristotle writes, that is irreducible to the simple sum of its parts.","PeriodicalId":225011,"journal":{"name":"Technologies of Critique","volume":"114 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116078388","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It describes how an audience concentrates on theater while being absorbed in its perspectival ideality under the polytechnical matrix of the image. The cinematographic instrument of ballistics does not allow for contemplation and suppresses the theatron and point of view within a continuous tactility, introducing profound changes in the perceptive apparatus on a grand scale. The chapter also explains the contrast to the canvas that invites the spectator to contemplation and before being abandoned to the flow of the association of ideas. It further emphasizes that before the film screen, the fascinated eye is subsumed in the movement image without noticing the metamorphosis that it suffers.","PeriodicalId":225011,"journal":{"name":"Technologies of Critique","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124948928","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It also examines how Sorel differentiated two kinds of violence: foundational violence and purely destructive violence. The general political strike establishes the law, encourages reform, and feeds the matrix of exception as the rule in which progress as historical norm is lived. In contrast, the proletarian general strike sets itself the sole task of destroying state power. The chapter also covers Benjamin's pure strike or pure violence, which does not privilege or negate temporal vectors, impugn a “now” to affirm an after, nor jump from one homogeneous present to another.","PeriodicalId":225011,"journal":{"name":"Technologies of Critique","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130513970","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In his comment, Marx presents an archipelago of singular times, a montage of anachronisms, and of clashing modes of production that become unstable as to their own identity, arranged in a vacillation of influences and contagions, mutual interruptions, and infections that make any presupposition of a present unviable. The chapter affirms the case for self-complacency of each singular time mentioned by Marx with respect to a specific present and as regards to the endogenous categories of self-understanding. It explains Marx's words on how the political economy remains a foreign science in Germany when he wrote the second edition of Capital. Marx emphasizes that the living soil from which political economy springs was absent in Germany and had to be imported from England and France as a ready-made article.","PeriodicalId":225011,"journal":{"name":"Technologies of Critique","volume":"187 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132286633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It also explains how to dodge the nihil without the feint being reappropriated beforehand as one more input into its polytechnics. Critique as the critique “relative to...” is nothing without what it criticizes. The critique “relative to...” is always in need and lacking what it criticizes, such as the mode of production and understanding of an epoch. The chapter further explains that “relative to...” is also structurally constituted as the “critique of...”, which refers to a presupposition. The critique's starting point is always reactive, its affirmation and positivity belonging to the domain of the negative.","PeriodicalId":225011,"journal":{"name":"Technologies of Critique","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124798254","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It focuses on the sovereign forms of dictatorship that is designed within the universe of Roman dictatorships before Sulla and Caesar. The chapter also points out dictatorship characterized by acting in an exception that is provided by the law of the republic in order to conserve and safeguard the law. The dictator is named by the senate to carry out specific tasks, such as to eliminate a dangerous situation, to make war, to repress an internal rebellion, or to celebrate a popular assembly. Sovereign dictatorship, however, exercises dictatorship by suspending the law of the republic. According to Schmitt, Caesar embodies the historical model of the sovereign dictator.","PeriodicalId":225011,"journal":{"name":"Technologies of Critique","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130443358","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
