The Urban Apparatus analyzes urbanization and the contemporary city in aesthetic, socioeconomic, and mediapolitical terms. Its main argument is that understanding the city as infrastructure (i.e. hardware in all senses) reveals the category of the urban, and of urbanization, to be a way of imparting functional, aesthetic, and cognitive order to a contradictory, doubly-bound neoliberal regime, rather than an empirical or properly theoretical description of that regime. The “urban” is, in short, an apparatus of power and of knowledge. The book’s detailed theoretical introduction elaborates this thesis. It is followed by ten shorter essays, each of which explores questions related to urban life through specific examples from around the world.Less

The thesis is that the graphic novel operates according to a logic of inversion, a very particular volte-face in which the anti-apparatus of the mask institutes a politics of impersonality. The idea as non-person. The comedy of the comic, the commedia dell’arte of the mask, the anti-apparatus of proliferated impersonality, the theatrics of belonging to the community of those who do not belong, becomes the driving figure of the film and even more so, of its afterlife, its viral and political role in resistance from Wall Street to Wollongong, Brazil to Bahrain, Harlem to Hong Kong. The film arrives as the fulfillment of the graphic lore, uniquely mobilizing comic studies as a praxis, making a movie that moves the comedy of depicting the person, the caricature of the cartoon, on to the streets.Less

Chapter 1 explores the origins of women’s artistic gymnastics. Founded on Enlightenment ideas about physical education, various gymnastic traditions emerged throughout Europe in the early nineteenth century, in response to rising nationalism. Friedrich Jahn and Pehr Henrik Ling devised many of the apparatuses still in use today, and as gymnasts began contesting who could perform the complex movements, gymnastics underwent sportification. But women were not included in competitions. In the 1920s, Alice Milliat pressured the International Olympic Committee to develop women’s sport, and women’s artistic gymnastics finally became a permanent part of the Olympic program in 1952. The debutant gymnasts showcased the physical cultures from which they came, highlighting the differences between the state-sponsored Soviet sports system, and the laissez-faire US approach. This chapter argues that despite vastly different national traditions and gender expectations, women’s gymnastics was created and standardized as a result of international cooperation in what had hitherto been considered a man’s domain.Less

The chapter considers Wishman’s Chesty Morgan films, Deadly Weapons and Double Agent 73, in relation to feminist psychoanalytic theory by analyzing how the female body acts as both a prop and a technology within the films’ modes of address. Discussing the film in context of exploitation as filmic category defined by its mode of production and marketing, the author contends that Morgan’s body is the films’ primary prop and exploitation “gimmick.” However, the implantation of a camera into Morgan’s breasts complicate the actress’s as simply an object of the gaze; she becomes both a screen and a memory technology, assaulting the male characters and arguably the viewer in the process.Less

This chapter examines “Ideology and Ideological State Apparatuses (ISA): Notes towards an Investigation”, the Louis Althusser text that has most influenced the post-1980 North American and British intellectual scene. Relating the state of modern thought to thought on the modern state, Althusser's essay asks: how does production ceaselessly maintain a similar worker/capitalist, subjugated/subject division, one that permits the capitalist/subject to exploit the worker/subjugated, thus preserving class difference? By way of explanation, the main sections of the essay present three complementary discourses: labor relations and labor exploitation (the Marxist section), cultural institutions (the Gramscian section), and psychological or psychoanalytic factors (the Lacanian section). To deploy the terms that Althusser would make famous, language interpellates the subjects into desiring a capitalism that they thereby reproduce.Less

This chapter attempts to bring the reading and discussion of Derrida in relation with other texts, and other heritages, in order to illustrate how his manner of philosophizing has transformed our understanding of certain fundamental problems. It sketches a series of rereadings, beginning with the famous first chapter of Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit, “Sense Certainty.” Relating the Hegelian text to various texts by Derrida—passages from The Post Card, Parages, and Monolingualism of the Other—this chapter shows that, taken together, in their dispersion and their kinship, these texts form what might be called “Derrida's sense certainty.” Between Hegel and Derrida, however, a further mediation is necessary: that provided by Émile Benveniste's 1970 essay, entitled “The Formal Apparatus of Enunciation.”Less

This chapter examines the circumstances surrounding the establishment of the People’s Court and its exceptional powers. The RCC saw the tribunal as a mean to promote much broader objectives than the prosecution of the accused in the assassination attempt on Prime Minister ‛Abd al-Nasir. The court wanted to strike a fatal blow against the MB. In fact, the transcripts show that the court focused very little on the details of the assassination attempt. The questioning of the accused and the witnesses addressed broader issues, including the aims of the MB and their national and civic commitments. The judges and the prosecution presented the MB as cynically exploiting innocent civilians to promote a radical agenda that threatened to plunge Egypt into a civil war (fitna). Yet, the questioning of the accused and the witnesses also allowed descriptions and counter-arguments to be voiced that the regime actually intended to suppress.Less

In the first chapter, the author provides a picture of the current state of contemporary Foucauldian interpretations of law. The author claims that Foucauldian scholars – notwithstanding recent important contributions – have not been able to properly debunk the thesis that Foucault “expelled” law from the locus of power. The author proposes to overcome this impasse by considering law as a proper sui generis apparatus of subjectivation and by undertaking a geneaology of the modern discourse of law in order to discover its generative syntax. The author’s goal is to demonstrate that in developing towards its modern form, law moved from being an order based upon the paradigm of sovereign commands to one based on the paradigm of socially constructed norms (understood in a Foucauldian way). The author identifies the formal features of generality, abstraction, and the substantive features of equality and freedom as key for this purpose.Less

Chaplin's Essanay and Mutuals films arrived in France in 1916, during the war, eliciting strong reactions from artists, writers and poets, and directly hastening the first experimental cinepoems in 1917-18. This chapter explores how the fundamentally paradoxical embodiment that Chaplin figured in his movies--vulnerable yet invulnerable, Romantic yet unsentimental, noble yet a bum, small yet powerful, spastic yet unshakeable, animated yet reified, etc.—reached into French poetry. Aragon noted this ontological plasticity of Chaplin, and Goll developed the demiurgic, rebellious, but also abject, even insect-like nature of the Tramp's persona. Indeed Michaux, Ponge, Soupault and Debord all compare Chaplin to a lowly insect, a social parasite. The housefly in particular, because of its faceted eye, angular flight, and ubiquitous gaze, became an animalized metaphor for the camera and the film apparatus. Chaplin's body and films are thus the site where crucial esthetic and epistemological mutations were discovered that came to shape cinepoetry through what I call Chaplin's ‘automatic riding.’Less

This chapter discusses the political and intellectual direction of some of Mills' later writings. In these writings, Mills accomplishes his own summing up and takes the tendencies of his earlier work to a new level. Three works stand out: The Sociological Imagination, still his most widely read book; The Marxists, a collection of writings by some leading thinkers in this vein; and the unfinished The Cultural Apparatus, which Mills intended as his next big project. The Sociological Imagination is nothing short of a program for a new social science. The chapter also briefly attempts to explicate his most important intellectual and political contributions.Less

The Sociological Imagination is nothing short of a program for a new social science. The chapter also briefly attempts to explicate his most important intellectual and political contributions.

The Introduction proposes its examinations and theories on the “urban apparatus,” “mediapolitics” scale, infrastructure, and the essay form. In all sense a city is hardware. It is not, in the first instance, a space, a place, a territory, or a zone; nor is it, strictly speaking, a social body. For by identifying a city with hardware, it enables the recognition of it as a site of sociotechnical life and production where power is encoded, memories are stored, and possible features are recorded.Less

The first essay explores the structural blind spots of enumeration, beginning with the ambiguous claim that “half the world’s population now lives in cities.” The city, as a territory, as either infrastructure or as image, is no less determined by the foundational indeterminacies of counting than it is reliably fixed in space and in time as a knowable entity.Less

The second essay explores the interplay of abstraction and concreteness in financial systems, in urban slums, and in luxury real estate development. For more than a century, the social relations of the metropolis have been linked analytically to financial circulation, a connection that is clearly audible in the phrase “global city.”Less

The third essay look into the city as an enigmatic, technical “thing” (rather than a fetishized “object”) that stores the memory of possible revolutions in the everyday life.
