The Strategic Mobilisation of Incompetence

Abstract

There are two fields, broadly speaking, in which I work – or to which I contribute – both of which involve different logics, protocols and, indeed, competences. It is partly through working with two distinct practices that I able to bring the competences of one to bear on the other. On the one hand this can sometimes work to ‘double’ any given competence, but on the other, perhaps more importantly, it can also work to undermine a given competence – or, at least, show up its limits.
