Description
The Universal Machine by Fred Moten explores questions of freedom, capture, and selfhood through a suite of essays on Emmanuel Levinas, Hannah Arendt, and Frantz Fanon. Moten considers these thinkers alongside artists and musicians to interrogate the relation between blackness and phenomenology. In this concluding volume of his landmark trilogy "consent not to be a single being", Moten formulates blackness as a way of being in the world that evades regulation. He examines Levinas's idea of escape, Arendt's antiblackness through music, and Fanon's phenomenology to show how black social life is enabled. Moten's theorizations of blackness will have a lasting impact on our understanding of freedom, identity, and the human condition.
