		<description><![CDATA[The opposition between individual racism and institutional racism has from the beginning stood on pretty shaky theoretical grounds. Aren&#8217;t individualist expressions of racism, in both their &#8220;spontaneous&#8221; and continuous forms, always underwritten by statist practices? And haven&#8217;t state institutions&#8217; rationalized borders and operations been partly enforced by substrata of popular exclusions and (threats of) routine [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=recordingsurface.wordpress.com&amp;blog=10124203&amp;post=219&amp;subd=recordingsurface&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From what I can gather, concepts of decay &#8212; as developed, in blogland, by Reza Negarestani, Planomenology, and Splintering Bone Ashes, among others &#8212; belong to what could be called the subtractive branch of ontological-political strategies: becoming-imperceptible, exodus, refusal of work.
