Some disorderly plagiarism:

The one who is said to have given the origin wrong,

 is really an effect of thinking about it in terms of
an origin. 

It’s easy not just to call a response that had anticipated him, but to get the whole thing wrong by the demand that takes the form-in-deformation of a single voice consenting
to and calling for its multiplication and division.

To move through this constant organization and disorganization of this amazing and beautiful ode to disorder, 

Maybe
there’s some secret way, opened up by some unique and secret word,

that is the generative informality out ofwhich his form emerges.

    Some disorderly plagiarism (continued):

    you are an ensemble

    a relay of breath that comes from somewhere else, that seems like it comes out of nowhere

    something that has been coded or denigrated as extra musical - as noise rather than signal

    the cacophony of the demand

    recognition that an anti-colonial movement would necessarily be one that would tend towards complete disorder, total lysis

    so the point is that the call to order is a call for and from disorder.

Edouard Glissant - Poetics of Relation (some concepts)

By
Errantry (errance) 18- errantry does not proceed from renunciation nor from frustration regarding a supposedly deteriorated (deterritorialized) situation of origin; it is not a resolute act of rejection or an uncontrolled impulse of abandonment. - The thought of errantry is a poetics, which always infers that at some moment it is told. The tale of errantry is the tale of Relation. 21- The thinking of errancy conceives of totality but willingly renounces any claims to sum it up or possess it. 20- The thought of errantry is not apolitical nor is it inconsistent with the will to identity, which is, after all, nothing other than the search for a freedom within particular surroundings. Rhizomatic thought / rhizome 18- the rhizome- prompting the knowledge that identity is no longer completely within the root but also in Relation. Poetics of Relation 11- each and every identity is extended through a relationship with the Other 20- in the poetics of Relation, one who is erra...

Denise Ferreira da Silva 1 (life) ÷ 0 (blackness) = ∞ − ∞ or ∞ / ∞: On Matter Beyond the Equation of Value

By
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? Would this expose how the  object  (of exchange, appreciation, and knowledge)—that is, the economic, the artistic, and the scientific thing—cannot be imagined without presupposing an ethical (self-determining) thing, which is its very condition of existence and the determination of value in general. On Blackness as disruptive force: activate blackness’s disruptive force, that is, its capacity to tear the veil of transparency (even if briefly) and disclose what lies at the limits of justice. when deployed as method, blackness fractur...
