Polygraph, an international journal of culture and politics, is now
accepting submissions for its forthcoming issue on immanence, utopia,
and totality. This issue is intended to interrogate the limitations and
potentialities of forms of power in the contemporary political moment.
Is immanence the organizing principle of society? If this were the case,
what kind of utopia could we imagine?
If both global capital and the multitude stand for the universal
producing an autarchy of absolute immanence, a relation without a
relation, or an absolute totality, how can one account for the
singularities subsumed under the logic of the universal? How can we
interrupt the absolute character of immanence without falling into
transcendence? Do we need a transcendent move in order to reach utopia?
Is there a way out of transcendence without falling into immanence? Is
there a mode of alterity or difference that remains incommensurable to
both immanence and transcendence? We invite articles addressing the
political implications of imagining a time to come beyond the duality
immanence-transcendence.
