  Philosophically, a repertoire of signifying practices as constitutive of a
cultural endowment was said to be ambiguous or unworthy of pursuit. Currently,
a unique capacity of the mind is considered to be its ability to produce a
digital infinity. The infinity produced, here an operation expressing
subjectivity, follows a simple principle according to which a limited set of
means, here functions, are utilized to produce an infinite range of potentially
meaningful expressions. It is from this concept that I propose a theory of
subjectivity and the endowment from which it expresses a self in the world(s)
it participates. In particular, I make a case for the subjectivity of
blackness. I treat subjectivity as an operation in order to address problems
with Identity theory, Afro-Pessimism, and to formalize an analysis of blackness
despite the onto-epistemological commitments of racialized systems of
categorization. In sum, subjectivity will be characterized as poetic
computation.
