Abstract
The conclusion, “Accumulating Remains, Rhythms of Expectation,” reads Edward Said's insight that “repetition cannot long escape the ironies it bears within it” with Stuart Hall's notion of conjunctural change as attentive to the emergence of “a different rhythm.” The palimpsestic argument and form of this book diagnoses an accumulation of remains that is not a concession of defeat. Neither does it imply that the remains of apartheid will be with us forever. Rather, the limits to power and knowledge in both statecraft and revolutionary struggle evident here point to the challenges of conserving political hope. Prosaic forms of radical praxis not beholden to capital or the racial state are seedbeds for a popular biopolitics necessary for an actual planetary future.
