Description

In The Politics of Operations Sandro Mezzadra and Brett Neilson investigate how capital reshapes its relation with politics through operations that enable the extraction and exploitation of mineral resources, labor, data, and cultures. They show how capital-which they theorize as a direct political actor-operates through the logistical organization of relations between people, property, and objects as well as through the penetration of financialization into all realms of economic life. Mezzadra and Neilson present a capacious analysis of a wide range of issues, from racial capitalism, the convergence of neoliberalism and nationalism, and Marx's concept of aggregate capital to the financial crisis of 2008 and how colonialism, empire, and globalization have shaped the modern state since World War II. In so doing, they illustrate the distinctive rationality and logics of contemporary capitalism while calling for a politics based on collective institutions that exist outside the state.

Acknowedgments

The Poitics o Operationswas wrîtten wîthîn a dense abrîc o compîcîtîes, sîtes, reatîons, and encounters. The prîncîpa cîtîes în whîch the wrîtîng took shape are Berîn, Boogna, Buenos Aîres, and Sydney. The argument and concepts emerged sometîmes uneasîy and sometîmes rapîdy rom ex-perîences and encounters în cîtîes such as Athens, Kokata, and Vaparaíso. Durîng the wrîtîng process, we had the prîvîege to dîscuss our maîn hy-potheses and research ﬁndîngs wîth dîverse audîences în many cîtîes, încudîng Chîcago, Hong Kong, Jakarta, Mebourne, Mexîco Cîty, Rome, Sîngapore, and Taîpeî. We thank the organîzers o these and other events. Thekosmossummer unîversîty grant “Investîgatîng Logîstîcs” (Berîn Instîtute or Mîgratîon Research, Humbodt Unîversîty) provîded us wîth an efectîve ramework to meet, îve, and dîscuss our work în Berîn, es-pecîay over the perîod 2015–16. We are partîcuary îndebted to Manu-ea Bojadžîjev or makîng thîs possîbe, and or her împortant contrîbu-tîon to the debates that propeed the wrîtîng o thîs book. Dîscussîons prompted by semînars at the Instîtute or Advanced Studîes (idaes), Unî-versîdad Nacîona de San Martín and the Frankîn Humanîtîes Instîtute, Duke Unîversîty aso proved hepu. These two semînars were conducted wîth Verónîca Gago and Mîchae Hardt, respectîvey. Aong wîth Gîorgîo Grappî, Maurîzîo Rîccîardî, Ned Rossîter, and Adeîno Zanînî, these two

rîends aso provîded vauabe eedback on the manuscrîpt. We aso thank our edîtor at Duke Unîversîty Press, Courtney Berger, or her unwaverîng support and two anonymous revîewers or theîr crîtîca engagement wîth our arguments. Artîces pubîshed în the journasRadica Phiosophy,South Atantic Quartery,Scienza & Poitica, andCutura Studiesoreshadow arguments în thîs book. Thanks to the edîtors on a occasîons. Much o the research or thîs book was supported by two Dîscovery grants awarded by the Austraîan Research Councî: “Logîstîcs as Goba Governance: Inrastructure, Sotware and Labour aong the New Sîk Road” (dp130103720) and “Data Centres and the Governance o Labour and Terrîtory” (dp160103307).

Imagîne you are traveîng by bus across the Argentînean pampas. You are absent-mînded, readîng a book wîthout reay payîng attentîon to ît. Look-îng out o the wîndow, you see a gîant bîboard wîth the words “Intactarr2 Pro” embazoned across ît. Beneath thîs product name runs a sogan: “De-saﬁar os îmîtes en soja” (Chaengîng the îmîts o soy). Gazîng înto the dîstance, you see ony the green o soybean ﬁeds extendîng to the horîzon. You do a quîck search on your phone to dîscover that Intactarr2 Pro îs a product o Monsanto, part o a new generatîon o transgenîc seeds expand-îng “înto even more margîna areas” (Cáceres 2014). Suddeny, you ee a sense o dîsorîentatîon. What can margîna mean, you ask, în such a unî-orm and nondescrîpt andscape? Readîng on, you reaîze that, o course, there are margîna areas în the pampas, as there are esewhere în the Latîn Amerîcan countrysîde and other parts o the word. You contînue to search and read and you come to earn—î you dîd not aready know—that the extensîve cutîvatîon o soy, enabed by seeds such as Intactarr2 Pro, has a vîoent and dîsruptîve efect on estabîshed socîa as we as spatîa arrange-ments, promptîng dîspossessîon and expusîon o peasant and oten Indîg-enous popuatîons. You reca the passage rom theGrundrissewhîch în Marx (1973, 408) dîscusses capîta’s “tendency to create the word market” by makîng “every îmît” appear “as a barrîer to be overcome.” And as your
