    • Schmitt was a very good friend of Manuel Fraga, who was in charge of the Ministerio de Información y Turismo 1962-1969. Fraga, an admirer of Schmitt's political writings, is one of the minds credited with the Spanish economic boom of the 1960s, which relied at its core on U.S. nuclear military technology and configured itself as a biopolitical postindustrial order. On the relevance of the capitalist strategy set up by the Spanish Francoist dictatorship within a worldwide biopolitical system, see my essay "The Lightness of Terror," Journal of Spanish Cultural Studies 5.2 (2004): 165-86.

    • This film by Erice (Spain, 1973, produced by Elias Querejeta) is the source of my essay's title. The movie is a quiet, poetic meditation on post-civil war Spain, and in a longer version of this essay ("El espíritu, la colmena y el nuevo nomos de la Tierra," in Crítica de la acumulación: Las encrucijadas teóricas del presente, ed. Oscar Cabezas and Alessandro Fornazzari [Santiago de Chile: LOM, forthcoming]) I propose that it should also be read as a meditation on the multitude.

    • It may be counterargued, however, that the bees, like the ants, may move and act in unpredictable ways. In the time of the posthuman, the bees still might unexpectedly leave the hive for unsought and unforeseen reasons, leaving preemptive action hanging in the air. In an unexpected turn of events, for instance, the people of Spain on March 13, 2004, turned their own postpolitical times into real politics, just as this seminar on Carl Schmitt was taking place. And maybe Grant Farred is right when he says that we should "never underestimate the capacity of the popular to elucidate the ideological," even in postideological, postpolitical times. But, then again, if so, would we still not, and, impossibly, reverse to a modern Name and a Nahme? (Grant Farred, What's My Name? Black Vernacular Intellectuals (Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 2003), 1.
