Review of "COUP DE DÉS (COLLECTION)"

[tam--lin]

In the wake of World War I, early management scientists associated with the “human relations” movement at Harvard Business School began to apply the language of “skills” to interpersonal encounters. As Elton Mayo, a key figure in the team, saw it, workers were blaming their employers for workplace discontent. In his view, their real antagonist was the loneliness of life in the industrialized modern city, which exacerbated the alienation they felt at work. If management cultivated community feeling in the workplace, the logic went, workers would stop demanding power. Soon, manipulating workers — and preventing collective action — began to be seen as a matter of skill. “Management should introduce in its organization an explicit skill of diagnosing human situations,” advised Fritz Roethlisberger and William J. Dickson in their 1939 volume Management and the Worker. Executives gained a way to describe their own social abilities as profitable commodities. Businessmen weren’t merely flaunting social graces or providing care — what their wives did at home — but demonstrating serious expertise. While “skill” once primarily denoted technical ability in a particular craft, the word took on an increasingly abstract meaning as the U.S. deindustrialized in the 1970s. By the 1980s, the category had “expanded almost exponentially to include a veritable galaxy of ‘soft,’ ‘generic,’ ‘transferable,’ ‘social’ and ‘interactional’ skills, frequently indistinguishable from personal characteristics,” as employment studies researcher Jonathan Payne put it. The language of “skill” could be slapped onto any capacity an organization considered necessary. As labor became more flexible and jobs less secure, workers had to become their own managers, eking out a living from serial opportunities. As sociologists Luc Boltanski and Eve Chiapello write, the concept of skills allowed workers to “equip themselves with a stock of qualifications” that could be developed like a “portfolio.” These vacuous new skills (leadership, communication, attention to detail) offered an illusion of security: employees could make themselves into Swiss Army knives, with the tools to adapt to any new task or role.  Psychotherapy soon fell under the sway of the imperative to be a skilled manager of oneself, regardless of whether one was a manager at work. As the psychiatry professor Aaron Beck had come to see it in the 1960s, depression was a result of misapprehending reality — feeling bad came from thinking bad thoughts. The cure was logic; the therapist was there to help you revise your bad thoughts into better thoughts. In this model, which became cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), depression was a finite problem in need of rational solution. With the right oversight, sorrow could be managed away.

"The lengthy graphic training necessary to acquire the skills required by comics, especially in their 'realistic' form, with its battle scenes, moving crowds, chases, etc., as well as the length and meticulousness involved in the execution of each panel (on average, comics artists spend 6 to 9 hours a day at the drawing board to produce 1 to 4 panels a week), tend to favour workers endowed, by class habitus, with the values of 'diligence', 'seriousness' and 'hard work' and, correlatively, to discourage the "artistic" inclinations of teenagers from the upper classes who are relatively deprived of cultural capital - at least school certified cultural capital - who, on the other hand, find in photography, an activity where technical constraints are almost non-existent and working time is reduced to a minimum, the ideal terrain for showcasing their social capital, their "taste" and the "manners" they owe to their family heritage."

okay so this quote is from an old academic article about comics and im sharing it bc oh my god that last part about rich kids with limited talent choosing photography to express their "artistic inclinations" inevitably made me think about Brooklyn Beckham's infamous photography book

The power of a dominant class doesn't result simply from its economic and political strength, or from the distribution of property, or from the transformation of the productive system; it always implies a historical triumph in the combat against the subaltern classes.” Michael Löwy The Michael Löwy quote placed as an epigraph to this chapter is a faithful and effective synthesis of the thought of Walter Benjamin, one of the rare Marxists to have fully grasped the rupture represented by total wars and fascism. The definition he gives of capitalism broadens and radicalizes that of Marx, since for Benjamin capital is both production and war, power of creation and power of destruction: “only triumph over the subaltern classes” makes possible the transformations of the productive system, of law, of property, and of the state. Consequently, the difference between my analysis of neoliberalism and those of Foucault, of Luc Boltanski and Éve Chiapello or of Pierre Dardot and Christian Laval, is radical. Those authors erase the fascist origins of neoliberalism and the “world revolution” of the 1960s—which means limiting oneself to the French ’68—but also the neoliberal counter-revolution, the ideological framework of capital's revenge. This difference has to do with the nature of capitalism which those theories “pacify” by erasing the political-military victory which is the precondition of its deployment. The “triumph” over the subaltern classes is part of the nature and the definition of capital, just like money, value, production, etc.

Glossaire

Compte rendu : Ce que sait la main.

• Continuum. Nom masculin. Désignant un ensemble, espace ou séquence dont les éléments adjacents n’ont pas de différences saillantes et qui est uniquement divisible de manière arbitraire. On peut citer des concepts comme « Le Continuum des violences » élaboré par Liz Kelly en 1987 pour parler de la discrimination envers les femmes.

• Renaissance. Nom féminin (Histoire). Mouvement qui, du XIVe au XVe siècle, en Italie puis dans le reste de l’Europe, permit, en se distinguant de la culture monastique et théologique du moyen-âge, d’étendre aux laïcs les études philosophiques, les lettres, les arts et les sciences et de les renouveler par l’étude des textes grecs et latins redécouverts ou rétablis dans leur texte original ou par l’imitation des chefs-d’œuvre.

• Transdisciplinarité. Nom féminin. Désignant une posture scientifique et intellectuelle ayant pour objectif la compréhension de la complexité du monde moderne et du présent.

• Bombe atomique. Nom propre (Histoire). La bombe A, communément appelée bombe atomique, bombe à fission ou bombe nucléaire, est un engin explosif où l’énergie est obtenue par la fission nucléaire d’une masse critique d’éléments fissiles comme l’uranium 235 ou le plutonium 239. Son procédé a été couvert par le brevet français 971-324 de 1939 à 1959. La largage d’une bombe atomique par un avion américain B-29 sur la ville japonaise de Hiroshima, le 6 août 1945, puis d’une autre sur Nagasaki, trois jours plus tard, contribue, avec d’autres, à la capitulation du Japon et à la fin de la 2e guerre mondiale.

• Animal laborans. Selon Hannah Arendt, est une figure de l’homme sans monde, sans horizon, sans transcendance, voire même qui détruit son propre monde ( d’ailleurs, si le monde moderne est né scientifiquement lors des lumières, sa naissance politique remonte aux premières explosions atomiques).

• Think tank. Nom masculin. Groupe de réflexion privé qui produit des études sur des thèmes de société au service des décideurs. Ils produisent des études et mettent en avant des idées en lien avec les valeurs qu’ils veulent défendre ; les think tanks liés aux partis politiques, ils tentent de garder une certaine autonomie de façon à préserver la qualité des recherches.

• Capitalisme moderne. Si Adam Smith, philosophe écossais du XVIIIe siècle, considéré comme le « père du capitalisme », croyait aux lois naturelles de l’économie t à l’inclination des hommes au commerce, le capitalisme ne résulte pas d’un concept, mais bien d’un processus historique, amorcé avec la découverte de l’Amérique, la colonisation et le commerce triangulaire. Le capitalisme moderne, qui se caractérise par un partage du capital de l’entreprise entre plusieurs, voire une multitude, de propriétaires, les actionnaires, recherche d’avantage de sécurité et une certaine puissance visant à influencer les décisions politiques.

• Démystifier. Verbe transitif. Détromper quelqu’un alors qu’il est l’objet d’une mystification. Enlever à quelque chose son caractère mystérieux qui lui donnait un certain pouvoir, une certaine force.

• Prologue. Nom masculin. Avant-propos, bref avertissement dont on fait précéder un ouvrage. Scène lyrique, souvent allégorique, située au début d’un ouvrage dramatique. (Dans la tragédie lyrique française des XVII et XVIIIe siècle, il constitue un hommage au roi.).

• Luc Boltanski. Sociologue français né le 4 janvier 1940. Il a initié avec Laurent Thévenot un courant pragmatique, appelé aussi « économie de la grandeur » ou « Sociologie des régimes d’action ». Il est directeur d’études à l’E.H.E.S.S.

• Ève Chiapello. Sociologue française née le 2 avril 1965. Elle a pour principaux domaines d’expertise la critique du capitalisme, l’histoire du management, la sociologie des instruments politiques et de gestion ainsi que l’étude critique des catégories économiques et comptables.

• Le nouvel esprit du capitalisme. Un ouvrage de Luc Boltanski et Ève Chiapello. La 4e couverture indique : « Le capitalisme prospère ; la société se dégrade ». La croissance du profit s’accompagne de celle de l’exclusion. La véritable crise n’est pas celle du capitalisme, mais celle de la critique du capitalisme. Trop souvent attachée à des anciens schémas d’analyse, la critique conduit nombre de protestataires à se replier sur des modalités de défense efficaces dans le passé mais désormais largement inadaptées aux nouvelles formes du capitalisme redéployé.

Capitalism's response to the intense demand for differentiation and demassification that marked the end of the 1960s and the beginning of the 1970s was to internalize it. This recuperation took the form of a commodification — that is to say the transformation into 'products', allocated a price and hence exchangeable on a market, of goods and practices that in a different state of affairs remained outside the commodity sphere. Commodification is the simplest process through which capitalism can acknowledge the validity of a critique and make it its own, by incorporating it into its own specific mechanisms: hearing the demand expressed by the critique, entrepreneurs seek to create products and services which will satisfy it, and which they will be able to sell. We have already seen this process at work in the satisfaction of demands for liberation with the invention of products and services with a supposedly 'emancipatory' quality. It has likewise operated on a wide scale to meet demands for authenticity: consumers would henceforth be offered products that were 'authentic' and 'differentiated' in such a way that the impression of massification would be dispelled. Accordingly, alterations were made to mass production so as to be in a position to offer more varied goods destined for a shorter life-span and more rapid change (short production runs, multiplying the options offered to consumers, etc.), in contrast to the standardized products of Fordism. Entrepreneurs regarded this new source of supply as an opportunity to combat market saturation, intensifying consumers' desire by furnishing 'quality' products that were healthier and offered greater 'authenticity'. This new output was stimulated by a growing interest in physical beauty and health, and encouraged by the denunciation, for which nascent ecology supplied some arguments, of the artificial, industrial character — especially in the case of food produce — of mass consumer products, which were not only insipid but also bad for the health. It was also furthered by an increase in consumer know-how in the developed countries. It proceeded in tandem with a commodification of goods that had hitherto remained outside the commodity sphere (the very reason they were deemed authentic): capitalism was to penetrate domains (tourism, cultural activities, personal services, leisure, etc.) which had hitherto remained comparatively external to mass commodity circulation.

Nietzsche - La Destruction de la raison (tome 2), Georg Lukacs, 1954

Good

Pompes funèbres, Jean Genet, 1947 | i really enjoy Genet’s work so far, not for everyone as it is harsh and crude at times but it feels like it’s too long, becoming repetitive and losing the poetry of it, in favor of its obscenity.

Jacques ou la soumission, Eugène Ionesco, 1950

Victimes du devoir, Eugène Ionesco, 1953

Le nouvel esprit du capitalisme, Luc Boltanski et Eve Chiapello, 1999 | way too long and a lot of it isn’t really new (at least to me), the interesting parts were too quickly covered, it was frustrating to read. too much jargon too.

...the zany is about performing. Intensely affective and highly physical, it’s an aesthetic of nonstop action that bridges popular and avant-garde practice across a wide range of media: from the Dada cabaret of Hugo Ball to the sitcom of Lucille Ball. You could say that zaniness is essentially the experience of an agent confronted by—even endangered by—too many things coming at her quickly and at once. Think here of Frogger, Kaboom!, or Pressure Cooker, early Atari 2600 video games in which avatars have to dodge oncoming cars, catch falling bombs, and meet incoming hamburger orders at increasing speeds. Or virtually any Thomas Pynchon novel, bombarding protagonist and reader with hundreds of informational bits which may or may not add up to a conspiracy.

The dynamics of this aesthetic of incessant doing are thus perhaps best studied in the arts of live and recorded performance—dance, happenings, walkabouts, reenactments, game shows, video games. Yet zaniness is by no means exclusive to the performing arts. So much of “serious” postwar American literature is zany, for instance, that one reviewer’s description of Donald Barthelme’s Snow White—“a staccato burst of verbal star shells, pinwheel phrases, [and] cherry bombs of … puns and wordplays”—seems applicable to the bulk of the post-1945 canon, from Ashbery to Flarf; Ishmael Reed to Shelley Jackson.

I’ve got a more specific reading of post-Fordist or contemporary zaniness, which is that it is an aesthetic explicitly about the politically ambiguous convergence of cultural and occupational performance, or playing and laboring, under what Luc Boltanski and Eve Chiapello call the new “connexionist” spirit of capitalism. As perhaps exemplified best by the maniacal frivolity of the characters played by Ball in I Love Lucy, Richard Pryor in The Toy, and Jim Carrey in The Cable Guy, the zany more specifically evokes the performance of affective labor—the production of affects and relationships—as it comes to increasingly trouble the very distinction between work and play. This explains why this ludic aesthetic has a noticeably unfun or stressed-out layer to it. Contemporary zaniness is not just an aesthetic about play but about work, and also about precarity, which is why the threat of injury is always hovering about it.

As Luc Boltanski and Eve Chiapello say, the new spirit of capitalism has put to good use the artistic critique that was supposed to destroy it

am i missing something

hey guys long time, doing great

Jacobin Excerpt:

“In The New Spirit of Capitalism, social theorists Luc Boltanski and Ève Chiapello have argued that in the world after the protests in Paris in 1968 (and the countercultural revolution of the sixties more broadly), capitalism’s growth has become predatory. It preys on the people, ideas, things, and movements that are in direct opposition to it.

By mobilizing the creative industries of advertising, branding, and public relations, contemporary capitalism actively seeks out those who are opposed to it and offers them fame and fortune. In essence, capitalism stabilizes those movements, people, and ideas that are “outside” it by naming them. It brings them into the “mainstream” and the broader public consciousness.“

Doesn't that just translate to: “capitalist systems improve living standards of those who might otherwise create destabilization” but with a bunch of predatory rhetoric thrown in?

I hope I’m wrong cus thats some pretty weak shit
