...what can it mean to be critical when the professional defines himself or herself as one who is critical of negligence, while negligence defines professionalization? Would it not mean that to be critical of the university would make one that professional par excellence, more negligent than any other? To distance oneself professionally through critique, is this not the most active consent to privatize the individual? The undercommons might by contrast be understood as wary of critique, weary of it, and at the same time dedicated to the collectivity of its future, the collectivity that may come to be its future.
Stefano Harney and Fred Moten, “The University and the Undercommons” (38)
