Notes
1. Lawrence Grossberg, Cultural Studies in the Future Tense (Durham, NC: Duke University Press, 2010).
2. For a discussion on the relation between promise and future, see Briankle G. Chang, “Of Giving Memories,” differences 16 (2005): 116–37.
3. Let me quickly add that I regard anything archival to be at once institutive, topological, and nomological. On this, see Jacques Derrida, Archive Fever (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1996).
