“…Independent farms offer an escape from the structures and confinements of a socioeconomic world built on an anti‐Black logic. The farm is a space in which Blackness can be performed (or nonperformed, following Fred Moten's [] read on fugitivity) without recourse to or examination by the surrounding society. Yet this is only ever partially achieved, because to survive, the farmers must negotiate and contend with the requirements of the dominant system.…”

The Attala County Self-Help Cooperative, based in Mississippi, United States, formed with the intention of helping rural African American farmers utilize their land resources and enhance their farm productivity. Productivity is central to the activities of the cooperative. Yet, its members emphasize other forms of wealth that farming sustains, including self-reliance, the maintenance of a Black agrarian lifestyle, the support and development of a local community, and the social valuation of Black farmers. From this perspective, the cooperative is more than a means to resist or compete within an exploitative system. The cooperative generates wealth-in-people as an alternative value system formed around farming, community, and the Black farmer.

“…Such a claim might merely amount to thinking in terms of an order of time what has already been articulated in other terms above, and what Fred has elsewhere called "the capacity or propensity to transgress the law as such, to challenge its mystical authority with a kind of improvisational rupture" (Moten 2018). This is a break one hears, I think, in the surprising cadences of Rakim's flow as much as in the Dennis Edwards (1984) Perhaps this is because it appears to unlock the most mystic statement of Marx: that communism will be realised when the senses become emancipated, when "the senses…become theoreticians in their immediate praxis" (1995: 352).…”

The Le Mardi Gras Listening Collective is a group of friends who listen to music together and is named after a bar in Pittsburgh where the collective was conceived. In this article we consider ways by which music might be a mode of planning opposed to individuation and measure, and beyond the instrumentalities to which music itself is often submitted. We do so by thinking about how jazz—where it takes on the improvisatory character of the busker, rehearsal, or jam—becomes a form of love. We consider the song as an expression of antagonism that the song itself cannot contain. We ask if we might conceive music as a mode of criminality opposed to the violence and discipline imposed upon the body by capital. We look to understand capitalism by situating the plantation system at its center. We ask what sort of place our listening takes place in and how the song might inhabit it. We wonder what it might mean for all of this to remain unresolved, and how to remain attuned to that irresolution as a form of planning social life.
