Languaging the infrathin of the everyday un/clear

    Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

    Abstract

    This chapter plays within the moments felt as subject(ivity) formed within actual events, moments Whitehead describes as actual occasions. Moments pulled away from creative becoming, the Deleuze/Guattari conceptualisation of affect, their immanently relational nonbeing, to attune, or retune, into conformations acceptable to what Moten and Harney speak into as logistical capitalism and its assemblage of the proper way to do things.

    It is thinking within the comprehensibility of logistical capitalism, conversing with Manning’s concept of the clear where we find ourselves languaging: expressing a collective enunciation moving out of the clear bypassing language, a means of “forced improvement in production,” to communicate the unclear, the in-betweenness, the Duchamp/Manning fleeting and pre-articulate moments of the infrathin frictioning in-between the logistical capitalist subject(ivity) attempting to pull us into actual occasions of conforming to its ideology and the irreducibility of experience. To grasp at the uneasy (in)visible borders frictioning the everyday, shaping the ways we exist.
