... of their job. Though they have succeeded in designing radiation-proof containers for Olkiluoto’s waste, Finnish law has demanded that they also devise a “perma- nent” warning system for the granite grave. Despite the appealing intellectual challenge of designing such a marker, none of the en- gineers...

... feature exile prominently as a trope, a formal organizing principle, a marker of her own experience, and a central conceptual problem she cannot but inherit from broader intellectual, cultural, and political history. These writings are often reduced to a few pithy lines, cited with authority, and offered...

... That is, does one then need an open, clarified, and clarifying heart that is not wicked to begin to listen to him? To be marked or be unmarked as per the marker of concern? Or is it the work of a surface that offers an endless surfing, beneath which there is nothing hidden? Is it the pyramidal system in which...

..., surprising and splendid individuations, at fi ve in the afternoon, an afternoon in the steppe.1 Taking this position, Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari counter the tendency in art and literature to turn style into an operator of iden- tity. No longer treating style as the marker of a unitary signifi...

.... Revolutionary genealogy, a genealogy of revolutionary sentiment, radically refigures the logic of chronobiology. One way to see each event is as leading up to the eventual independence of India and Ireland from British rule. Indeed, this is true. But they are equally, perhaps even more so, markers of what never...

..., I am hardly the only one who must power through darkness, allow for mourning, in order to arrive at the celebratory affect associated with anniversary. Nothing could be more common than to shun such a marker, and want to fold shop. I might as well surrender to that nearly instinctual pull...

... into play only occasionally, mostly in the form of midcentury art fi lms like Tarkovsky’s Solaris, Marker’s La jetée, and Hitchcock’s Psycho; all three fi lms, in Crary’s readings, offer critical refl ections on the uniformity of 24/7 time. In its historical period as well...

... older and newer cartographies, come to function among technology of rules, and state politics, as markers of identity (distributed along racial or religious, cultural or political, lines). Rather than pro- viding geographical, genealogical, or liturgical information, terms...

... and sexual assemblages. Through nuanced analyses of nontranscendental markers of difference, Electric Santería distinguishes itself among studies of “transnational religion.” Beliso–De Jesús’s account of transnational Santería shows that contemporary narrativizations of the dispersal of religion across...

... in such terms, of "a fatal way of being alive," is not philosophical concision. It is, rather, the signature of the unthought position,4 that which can only be imagined through its affective dimension. How might it feel to be that sort of problem,' a scandal to ontology, an outrage to every marker...

...." As Riley reminds us in Words of Selves, the word 'I' lies, since the "grammatical offer of unique- ness is untrue" (WOS, 57). The word "I" is, she writes, "the linguis- tic marker of rarity but is always also aggressively democratic" (WOS, 57). In Hegel the "I" of conscience names each and every...

... means, among other things, “salvation,” and the word signaled an important marker to Nancy in his dialogue with Derrida and the poet Michel Deguy (who died just a few months after Nancy). 24 Salut : the long goodbye that cannot be redeemed, which saves us from all need of redemption. These indices...

... of the development of the work, through its experience. On a textual level this point is reflected by the absence of any author’s name on the first version of the first song, since “Lautréamont” literally does not yet exist, not just as an authorial marker but as the name around which the work will find its meaning...

.... Such polities do not bear the traditional markers of sovereignty, understood as a unitary, undi- vided, absolute form of authority. In these new forms of collective self- determination, sovereignty becomes a functional concept in- dicating the “fi nality” but not the “ultimacy” of certain...

... expectations of Lily Chin’s racial embodiment through both Hayes’s body’s (lack of) specific racial markers as well as her fluency and (lack of) accent. Chambers-Letson’s analysis of Chinoiserie argues that an audience’s or an individual’s own racial knowledge and own excavation of the history of racial...

... projects for long-term nuclear waste markers. Embedded in this second question is a third, more abstract one: Could affect theory really, as Silverman hypothesizes it eventually will, ground a new ontology of the self and a new ethics. To try to answer either part of this question now...

... was yesterday and could likely be obsolete tomorrow.” 13 As I spent more time studying checkpoints and returned to them at varying intervals of days, months, and years, they struck me as markers of the movement of time—places where one sees changes from one month or one year to the next, for example...

..., or dislocation, of habitual modes of seeing and of dominant “frames of intelligibility.” 35 This coincides with Didi-Huberman’s interest in the categories of invisibility and disappearance, understood not as markers of absence but as a discursive and subjective “condition of blindness” and the subject’s...

...—that is, by simply “reconnecting to their cultural roots, which in and of themselves undermine the Western modernist secular structures.” Moreover, scholars view this religiosity not only as a simple antidote to Zionism but also, as Hashash points out, as the marker of that celebrated Levantine border-crossing power...

In such a perspective, this apparent and incidental fi eld of politics, this fi eld of visual and symbolic political culture, 128 qui parle spring...
