Abstract
Remembering Stanley Aronowitz brings the author to reflect on the intersection of the personal and the political in academic departments and academic friendships. This intersection can become difficult, especially when colleagues are on the margins, politically and pedagogically, of a department and a discipline. The result can be the rupturing of friendships and the weakening of political alliances that had supported a critical stance toward the discipline and the department.

Deleuze closes his study of the shift in Foucault's work from the archive to the diagram with a consideration of the outside of the outside, maybe too affirmative a conclusion for Foucault; maybe not yet fully facing what would be the full realization of the diagram only pointed to in the "Postscript."

Focusing on "new regimes of calculation" and the limits and possibilities of mobilizing critical theory to make sense of such shifts, the author uses Roderick Ferguson's Foucauldian call for a reordering of things to rethink of quantitative inquiry. The author is especially interested in race and the twists and turns of how the institutionalizing of the interdisciplines of area studies in higher education functioned to manage difference. The author pays particular attention to parallels between the institutionalization of the interdisciplines of area studies with the emerging interdisciplines– those forming between the humanities, the arts, and the social sciences and the mathematical sciences, computer sciences, digital studies, and the natural sciences. By elaborating both sociological and media studies disciplinary perspectives, something "beyond biopolitics and neoliberalism" becomes thinkable.
