Thinking against the sovereignty of the concept

Abstract: What does a notion of capitalization do to our understandings of late capitalism and the city? What can our renewed interest in materiality add to postcolonial thought and the study of colonial history? And how do we parse through the wreckage of our age of revolts? When we find the political grammar that might respond to our present, what will we make of the square and occupations, or disruption and infrastructure in our theories of political action? These are some of the questions that are taken up in this wide-ranging interview with Timothy Mitchell; an interview in which Mitchell, reflecting on past projects and elaborating current research, offers us substantive insights into the thought processes that have made his work so indispensable.
