Race After the Internet

Abstract

But how could an ostensibly liberal, broad-minded person say such a thing? How did we get here? How did the world slip away from the 1960s mould, in which the liberation of desire (and thus affective identities of various kinds) was considered a politically progressive project to undertake? At the turn of the new millennium we have a different destiny, for today under the new postfordist economies desire and identity are part of the core economic base and thus woven into the value chain more than ever before.1 What cruelty of fate. If marginal groups are now “normalized” within the mode of production, what would it mean to offer criticism of the present situation? Is there any outside anymore? Any subaltern?
