“Being president of the University of California is like being manager of a cemetery: there are many people under you, but no one is listening.
-UC President Mark Yudof
Capital is dead labor which, vampire-like, lives only by sucking living labor.
-Karl Marx
Politics is death that lives a human life.
-Achille Mbembe
Yes, very much a cemetery. Only here there are no dirges, no prayers, only the repeated testing of our threshold for anxiety, humiliation, and debt. The classroom just like the workplace just like the university just like the state just like the economy manages our social death, translating what we once knew from high school, from work, from our family life into academic parlance, into acceptable forms of social conflict.”
