I feel the most affinity with Marriott’s writing when it illuminates blackness as a structural position, as an ontology rather than an identity or sociological experience, though the latter is usually what we mean when we say “race.” Too often our work is singularly focused on individual experience or relies on a Cartesian form of consciousness. Such work focuses on black people’s identities or stops at what black folks say about their experience without interrogating the conditions that make such speech possible and without interrogating the limits of consciousness itself. I worry that in this work, history and structure disappear. It is my view that the lives of black people of all genders are structured in the context of antiblack existential negation, but it is rare to have our position as shattered subjects theorized and even rarer for it to be theorized with deep attentiveness to gender and sexuality — as Marriott does. His scholarship speaks to the existential paradox of blackness, what I refer to as “existential negation” in this essay —namely, to have subjectivity while one’s subjecthood is constantly negated, one’s voice made inaudible by cultural fantasy, and one’s ego assailed by an Other that is inseparable from the self.[3] Marriott is known as an elegant theorist of psychoanalysis and culture. But I have been most struck by the ethics of his writing — in particular, by its ability to bring into focus the world’s collective disavowal of the violence subtending the production of blackness. This collective disavowal exists despite or because of the centrality of antiblackness for the production of the world’s sociality. The imagistic quality of the prose is the stuff of nightmares: the dread- inspiring quality of the unconscious life of race, a nightmarish vision of black men that has been imposed across the color line.

Though the question of Marx’s debt to Hegel and capital’s relation to conceptual thought now takes up a dizzying many volumes, what is not readily available is a systematic attempt to think through the conditions of unfreedom as anything but an incomplete Idea. Instead, we have cottage industries on the racism of a particular thinker, descriptive histories of racism’s false consciousness, and structural accounts of racism that, while supplying the content of unfreedom, rarely investigate its forms. Racial slavery, as unfreedom’s “dramatis personae”, is rendered external to the concept, such that the materiality of antiblack violence can only be taken as evidence of the failure of reality’s adequation, with this failure then translated into the obduracy of those who insist on the pertinence of race. Conceptually centralizing slavery, instead of colluding to vanish it in empirical instances or timeless attributes, would involve deciphering how the failure of pure being to ground itself shows another ground: the historical generation of a being who is “not”. If the very groundlessness of this “not” means we can never access it, critical thought has nonetheless long been tracing the semblance (“schein”) of blackness in the relative conceptualizations of race, family, property, freedom, civil society, and the state. Indeed, because the emptiness of the “not,” or what David Marriott gathers together as the “n’est pas,” “does not constitute a concept […] for it is not determinable or meaningful,” only those who do positively take on the project of negation, internalizing it through being, becoming, and determinacy, can become meaningful political subjects. As a corollary, the nothing that relays blackness and precedes being, for which racial slavery becomes a vehicle, can never be informed by the terms of its own declivity.

Play 21: Fish in the Dark by Larry David

First performed: Cort Theatre, New York, 2015

Quote: "Oh come on. Why is it that after someone dies all of a sudden people decide to become honest? Not only is honesty not the best policy, it's actually the worst of all possible policies." (Norman)

Stage direction: [he comes running out in his underwear]

Notable cast: Larry David originated the role of Norman himself, with Jason Alexander replacing him later in the run. The premiere cast included Rita Wilson, Rosie Perez, Jake Cannavale and Jerry Adler.

Notes: David's first (and so far only) play benefits from being written in a voice that's instantly recognisable. Drawing on Jewish comedy staples as well as the traditions of classic farce, Fish is a close relative of Curb Your Enthusiasm in its twisted observational dialogue and cringeworthy schemes, but underneath the language there's nothing very new or revolutionary here - actually, in its general shape and tone, this is surprisingly old fashioned theatre for the masses. A solid comedy, but nothing challenging.

Read: for the first time

#100plays #larry david #fish in the dark #modern theatre #theatre quotes #2015 #comedy #stage comedy #jewish comedy #i should be clear that in saying theatre for the masses‚ I'm in no way intending that disparagingly #after all‚ Shakespeare was theatre for the masses #but this isn't Shakespeare #nor am i making the jewish connection flippantly #as in Curb‚ Larry is very consciously riffing on aspects of Jewish identity and culture in his work #this really is a funny play and made me laugh out loud on several occasions #but its old fashioned farce plot was mildly surprising; we're talking miscommunication‚ disguises‚ adultery #the kind of popular theatre that was very much in vogue in the 1970s in the UK (the bread and butter of writers like Ray Cooney and Anthony #Marriott and Alan Ayckbourn) and whilst revivals of those works still run and do well in amateur dramatics circles‚ new productions in that #vein are much less common. new productions of any kind are relatively uncommon in these days of struggling theatres‚ so it was noted with #some umbrage by critics how easily David attracted a lot of money and producers to his play‚ and how comparatively expensive to mount it #was (a considerable cast and three major set changes) in an era of tightened budgets and declining sales. He was vindicated of course #the play made $14 million in advance sales alone‚ and whilst critical reception was lukewarm‚ audiences continued to flock to the show

Instead of ﬁlling in the space of the family or gender with positive content, Afro-pessimism’s formal intervention draws from black feminism’s “point of access to a no-when and no-where” to underscore its own impossibility by analyzing race and gender as forms of appearance whose reproduction conceals the nothingness they were mandated to encode. If the slave mother is condemned to pass on blackness as nothing, or, in David Marriott’s reading of Fanon, the “n’est pas,” that which is “severed from generation, and yet reproduces itself as the cut that severs,” then it might be conducive to consider all forms of appearance, whether gendered, classed, or raced, encoded as humans, mothers, lovers, or laborers, as a refusal of blackness.

BOYCOTTING FOR PALESTINE

The Official BDS Boycott Targets

Events:

EUROVISION. IT IS IN OUR TOP PRIORITY TO BOYCOTT EUROVISION

Giro d’Italia and Tour de France

Consumer Boycotts - a complete boycott of these brands

Disney (SPECIFICALLY MARVEL)

Intel

Axa

Puma

Carrefour

HP

Cevron

Caltex

Israeli produce

Re/max

Ahava

Texaco

Siemens

Sodastream

Organic Boycott Targets - boycotts not initiated by BDS but still complete boycott of these brands

Macdonald's

Dominos

Papa Johns

Burger King

Pizza Hut

Wix

Divestments and exclusion - pressure governments, institutions, investment funds, city councils, etc. to exclude from procurement contracts and investments and to divest from these

Elbit Systems

CAF

Volvo

CAT

Barclays

JCB

HD Hyundai

TKH Security

HikVision

Pressure - boycotts when reasonable alternatives exist, as well as lobbying, peaceful disruptions, and social media pressure.

Google

Amazon

AirBnb

Booking.Com

Expedia

Teva

Here are some companies that strongly support Israel (but are not Boycott targets). There is no ethical consumption under capitalism and boycotting is a political strategy - not a moral one. If you did try to boycott every supporter of Israel you would struggle to survive because every major company supports Israel (as a result of attempting to keep the US economy afloat), that being said, the ones that are being boycotted by masses and not already on the organic boycott list are coloured red.
