It focuses on the complex, contrapuntal relationship between the French and Haitian Revolutions as analyzed by C.L.R. James in The Black Jacobins, which I read alongside Freud's Moses and Monotheism. In exploring the transmission of monotheism from the pharaoh Akhenaton to the Egyptian Moses (and through him to the Jewish religion), and of the doctrine of emancipation from Robespierre to Toussaint L'Ouverture (and back to the French people), Freud and James allow us to think about the role of a founding act in transmitting a political legacy. The act is not of the order of a program or a project, but a real kernel that resists easy codification and translation. Freud describes the act as leaving a \"stamp,\" a kind of impression or inscription. \"How,\" he asks of Moses, \"did one single man come to stamp [prägen] his people with its definite character and determine its fate for millennia to come?\" This transmission, like that of the Jacobins and their Haitian counterparts, is further remarkable in being non-linear and discontinuous, skipping many generations and crossing continents, but imposing itself nonetheless.","PeriodicalId":55174,"journal":{"name":"Discrete Event Dynamic Systems-Theory and Applications","volume":"45 1","pages":"472 - 499"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78791143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the same time, the neoliberal state has become more invested in spurring the development of corporate scientific and technological innovations, which are understood as undergirding prosperity and providing solutions to myriad problems. This article argues that the discourse of innovation has helped to justify many neoliberal reforms and constitutes a component of neoliberal rationality. Furthermore, the article theorizes the innovation/reproduction binary to argue that the neoliberal overvaluation of innovation contributes to the continued devaluation of reproductive labor.","PeriodicalId":55174,"journal":{"name":"Discrete Event Dynamic Systems-Theory and Applications","volume":"24 1","pages":"500 - 523"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75493672","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first, represented by an emblematic passage from Adorno, retains the hope for the realization of a \"rational society.\" The second, represented by a complementary passage from Foucault, enjoins critical theory to abandon any ambition toward criticizing or transforming society at a totalizing level. We argue that the unfolding climate catastrophe demands a conception of critical theory more in line with the first disposition, and that the relevance of the skeptical disposition is likewise seriously undermined if climate change is taken into account.","PeriodicalId":55174,"journal":{"name":"Discrete Event Dynamic Systems-Theory and Applications","volume":"1 1","pages":"559 - 575"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79782994","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

America—where over 1,500 women are killed annually—also has a femicide problem, although it is not as prominent in public and scholarly debates. This article theorizes the roles that institutional actors play in allowing lethal racist and sexist violence in the US, examining the relational dynamics among the state, perpetrators, and victims. Drawing upon the theories and critiques of biopolitics, I call this exercise of state power letting kill and illustrate how it operates by increasing the vulnerability of marginalized populations to premature death in contexts where they are already systematically killed. In the US, this becomes especially clear when we pay attention to Black femicide.","PeriodicalId":55174,"journal":{"name":"Discrete Event Dynamic Systems-Theory and Applications","volume":"521 1","pages":"413 - 448"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80118483","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To this end, it is perhaps best to use the power of the border whilst it is still fruitful to live in a bordered reality—and Ochoa Espejo makes a strong case that it is. These debates, like its problems of interest, can only continue. It is clear, however, that Valdez’s Transnational Cosmopolitanism and Ochoa Espejo’s On Borders expand, problematize, and complicate current studies on supranational politics in compelling ways. This proves an impressive feat when writing from a world in which centering place and space unequivocally involves contending with the crown jewel of global order: the nation-state system.","PeriodicalId":55174,"journal":{"name":"Discrete Event Dynamic Systems-Theory and Applications","volume":"44 1","pages":"400 - 403"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82405873","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
