| Abstract: | Financial derivatives are credited with bringing to the fore a number of sociological and metaphysical problems for modernity, from the instantion of particular modalties of risk to the destabilization of referentiality in knowlwdge-claims about the world. This essay argues that derivatives can take on the particular power they hold in such accounts only through a repression of their mathematical techniques. |
