Kapitalistischer Todestrieb und Coin Test China High-Speed Rail Videos
Der Band betrachtet zwei Formen der Konvergenz von Wahrnehmung und Bewegung in den Krisen des Spätkapitalismus. Die erste ist die Dashcam-Aufnahme, die sich virulent verbreitet hat, wie man an der Akkumulation von Crash-Filmen im Internet sehen kann. Das zweite ist das Video „Coin Test China High-Speed Rail“, das zeigt, wie eine Münze auf dem Fensterbrett eines chinesischen Hochgeschwindigkeitszugs balanciert wird, um die Laufruhe des Zuges zu testen. Der Essay stellt diese beiden optisch-motorischen Schemata einander gegenüber, um zu untersuchen, wie das Unbehagen des Spätkapitalismus manifest wird und gleichzeitig als beherrschbar gilt, nicht zuletzt durch die Rassifizierung von Körpern, die durch den Todestrieb des Kapitalismus in Bewegung gesetzt wurden. -- This book considers two modalities through which vision and motion have converged against the crises of late capitalism. The first is the dashcam recording that has proliferated in recent years, as seen in the accumulation of crash footage on the internet, captured by cameras installed on dashboards. The second is the Coin Test China High-Speed Rail video, which shows a standing coin being balanced on the window ledge of one of China’s many high-speed trains to test the train’s stability. Reading these two optical-motor schemata against each other, the essay examines the means by which the discontents of late capitalism become observable, and by extension, are imagined as governable, not least with recourse to the racialization of bodies that have been set in motion by capitalism’s death drive.
