Here are some notes on Denise's text for those interested. Central question: What if blackness referred to rare and obsolete definitions of matter : respectively, “substance … of which something consists” and “substance without form”? How would this affect the question of value? What would become of the economic value of things if they were read as expressions of our modern grammar and its defining logic of obliteration?
