See Harvey, A Brief History of Neoliberalism, p.47. 4 Fredric Jameson, Postmodernism, Or, The Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism (Durham, NC: Duke University Press, 1991), p.x. 5 Though Tiqqun respect Negri's early work, they reserve special vitriol for his later thought, whose ‘theoretical con game will never be as pathetic as its underlying goal, which is to pass oneself off as the organic intellectual of a new spectacularly unified subject’. See Tiqqun, This Is Not a Program, trans. Joshua David Jordan (Los Angeles: Semiotext(e), 2011), p.58-59. The fundamental naïveté of Negriism, they write, is wanting ‘Biopolitics without police, communication without Spectacle, peace without having to wage war to get it’. See Tiqqun, This Is Not a Program, p.117. 6 Tiqqun, Introduction to Civil War [2009] trans. Alexander R. Galloway and Jason E. Smith (Los Angeles: Semiotext(e), 2010), p.126. 7 Tiqqun, Introduction to Civil War, p.132. 8 Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri, Empire (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 2000), p.198. 9 Tiqqun, Introduction to Civil War, p.118. 10 Tiqqun, Introduction to Civil War, p.108. Tiqqun continues: ‘Witness here the insidious way in which the liberal State will perfect the modern State, under the pretext of needing to penetrate everywhere in order to avoid being everywhere in actuality, that in order to leave its subjects alone it must know everything. The principle of the liberal State could be stated like this: “If control and discipline are everywhere, the State does not have to be so”’. 11 Tiqqun, Introduction to Civil War, p.116-17. 12 Tiqqun, Introduction to Civil War, p.118. 13 Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri, Multitude (New York: Penguin, 2004), p.14. 14 Al Baker, ‘When the Police Go Military’, New York Times, 4 December 2011, p.SR6.

Also at < http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/20/world/asia/in-afghanistan-big-plans- to-gather-biometric-data.html?pagewanted = all> [24/01/2012]. The FBI has also reported on biometrics in Afghanistan.

Cross Match lists these and other articles on its press-room brag sheet at < http://www.crossmatch.com/in-the-news.php> [20/01/2012] 18 Transcripts of DoD briefings accessible to the public make this clear: See the DOD Background Briefing with Senior Defense Officials from the Pentagon and Senior Intelligence Officials by Telephone on U.S. Operations Involving Osama Bin Laden (2 May 2011). < http://www.defense.gov/transcripts/transcript.aspx?transcriptid = 4818> [20/01/2012]. 19 Various articles relating to the Argentine deal are listed on the Cross Match pressroom page. For one example, see ‘Argentinean Government Explores Biometrics’, Planet Biometrics, 20 May 2011 < http://www.planetbiometrics.com/article-details/i/643/> [20/01/2012] 20 On an optimistic note, the American state dealt its own police surveillance force a setback. The Supreme Court decision United States vs. Jones tenuously reasserted Americans’ right to protection from unlawful surveillance. Ironically, however, arguments made for the majority included those of the conservative wing of the Court, which was less concerned with the right to privacy than the sanctity of private property, as the case in question involved a GPS tracking device placed on a private vehicle. 21 Hardt and Negri, Multitude, p.17. 22 Tiqqun, Introduction to Civil War, p.159. 23 Josh Lauer, ‘The Good Consumer: Credit Reporting and the Invention of Financial Identity in the United States, 1840-1940’, Enterprise and Society, 11.4 (2010), pp. 687-686.

See McDonough, ‘Unrepresentable Enemies: On the Legacy of Guy Debord and the Situationist International’, Afterall: A Journal of Art, Context, and Enquiry, 28 (2011), pp.42–55. Theorist Nicolas Bourriaud also observes a similar trend in DJ culture. See Bourriaud's Postproduction, Culture as Screenplay: How Art Reprograms the World, trans. Jeanine Herman (New York: Lukas & Sternberg, 2000), pp.86–87. 42 Galloway, ‘Black Box, Black Bloc’, p.247. 43 This term appears in Tiqqun, This Is Not a Program, p.27. 44 Tiqqun, Introduction to Civil War, p.204. 45 Tiqqun, This Is Not a Program, p.43. 46 Tiqqun, Introduction to Civil War, p.224. 47 Tiqqun, Introduction to Civil War, p.214. 48 Tiqqun, Introduction to Civil War, p.213. 49 This is how McDonough describes Tiqqun's ‘jeune-fille’, which he summarizes as the ‘cipher for the construction of a fungible post-Fordist subject within a commodified and image-based late capitalist social order’. See Tom McDonough ‘Unrepresentable Enemies’, p.50. 50 Tiqqun, Introduction to Civil War, p.220. 51 Tiqqun, Introduction to Civil War, p.216. 52 Tiqqun, Introduction to Civil War, p.222–223. 53 Idelber Avelar, The Untimely Present: Postdictatorial Latin American Fiction and the Task of Mourning (Durham, NC: Duke University Press, 1999), p.1. 54 Idelber Avelar, The Untimely Present, p.2. 55 Idelber Avelar, The Untimely Present, p.1. 56 Idelber Avelar, The Untimely Present, p.2. 57 Idelber Avelar, The Untimely Present, p.176. 58 Idelber Avelar, The Untimely Present, p.176. 59 Diamela Eltit, Tres Novelas (Mexico City: Fondo de Cultura Económica, 2004), p.277.
