Deconstructing Accelerationism in Immediate Modernity
摘要
This chapter dismantles accelerationism’s foundational wager: that speeding up capitalism might hasten its end. Rereading Deleuze and Guattari, Land, Fisher, and Xenofeminist-linked critiques, it argues that acceleration has long since been captured: repurposed, as the invisible engine of capital’s persistence. Left and right variants of /Acc both misread the nature of movement, assuming speed/evolution still implies change. Thus, acceleration has become explanatory, not insurgent. This chapter clears conceptual ground for i/Acc: a new mode of analysis that decodes systems from within, rather than outpacing them.
