Abstract

The “city” remains an insufficient embodiment of urbanization processes. It has offered itself as the most adept technical form for ensuring the judicious operationalization of heterogeneity. But this promise has been premised on relegating blackness to the margins of worthiness, Here, the illusion of the self’s sufficiency necessitated incessant experimentation with extracting energies and inventiveness from a captive population. But whose capture and denigration meant that its fundamental resourcefulness could never be fully used. So in grappling with how urbanization extends itself beyond the city-form, it is possible to better understand a broader range of technical processes that might exceed extraction and materialize all that the urban could do.
