Abstract:The Haitian Revolution introduced a seismic shift in political constellations, leading to the constitution of the first free Black republic within the New World. Revolutionary Haiti communicated the content of that freedom as it embarked along the path of revolutionary liberation. This article examines the nature of that communication by demonstrating how political speech is implicated at the formative levels of Black selfhood and statehood through the construction of a Black universalism, which disavows speechlessness and its sublimation as Black barbarism. Ultimately, the article contends a decisive shift transpires from Euromodernity to Afromodernity and with it, the (re)humanization of Blackness.

Abstract:This paper explores the political indeterminacy of silence. It does so by way of reexamining the relationship of silence, solitude, and incarceration. Drawing on the Daoist notion of "say-nothing" and engaging Chinese artist Mu Xin's Prison Notes, this paper excavates how silence facilitates fugitives by re-enabling their senses of seeing, hearing, and imagining in restoring their affective relations with the world. Situated in the obscurity between speaking and unspeaking, carceral silence brings to the fore dramatic actions that come to destabilize, transform, and re-constitute the lived experience under incarceration.

Abstract:This paper uses resources from ancient democratic theory to assert a deep connection between democracy and environmentalism. I leverage arguments from two critics of Athenian democracy, Aristophanes and Plato, who thundered that democracy was so ontologically destabilizing that it would lead to animals ruling over humans. Using this ancient notion of democracy, the current human/nonhuman relationship can be recast as an eco-political regime called anthropoligarchy, an oligarch/demos conflict in which the human few dominate over a vast nonhuman demos viewed as incapable of ruling. The concept of anthropoligarchy provides a normative framework for understanding environmental politics in the Anthropocene.

Abstract:In this essay we take stock of the shortcomings, successes, and promises of 'biopolitics' to understand and frame global health crises such as COVID-19. We claim that rather than thinking in terms of a special relationship between Western modernity and biopolitics, it is better to look at a longer and more global history of populations' politics of life and health to situate present and future responses to ecological crises. Normatively, we argue for an affirmative biopolitics, that at once de-securitizes current approaches to our biosocial condition and expands the politics of the human estate to other molar and molecular dimensions.

Abstract:The meanings of "creole" and "creolization" metamorphose as they traverse centuries, oceans and archipelagos, muddying theoretical waters. Whose interests are served, and what forms of relationality forged, in deployments of "creole" and "creolization"? What is the relationship of creolization to antiracism and decolonization? What histories and political claims do creolized identities elide in the interests of nationalism or unity? This essay tangles with these theoretical knots as it juxtaposes three different visions of Caribbean creolization. The first, subtitled "The View from Land," offers an historical case study of the racism inherent in claims to white creole identity in eighteenth-century Saint-Domingue (now Haiti)—an analysis rooted in an archive of correspondence among colons, military decrees, colonial law, and records of state. The second, "The View from Sea," follows recent remappings of history as they emerge in diaspora. Here, the voices of contemporary scholars and poets converge in creative renderings of history that extend beyond the colonial archive. The third, "Indigeneity and Creolization" searches for the watermarks of indigeneity in diasporic cultural memory in the Caribbean.
摘要:几个世纪以来，“克里奥尔”和“克里奥尔化”的含义在海洋和群岛上发生了变化，混淆了理论水域。在“克里奥尔”和“克里奥尔化”的部署中，谁的利益得到了满足，又形成了何种形式的关系?克里奥尔化与反种族主义和非殖民化的关系是什么?为了民族主义或统一的利益，克里奥尔化的身份忽略了哪些历史和政治主张?这篇文章与这些理论结纠缠在一起，因为它并列的加勒比克里奥尔化的三种不同的愿景。第一部分，副标题为“陆地视角”，提供了一个历史案例，研究了18世纪圣多明各(现在的海地)白人克里奥尔身份主张中固有的种族主义——这一分析根植于殖民地、军事法令、殖民法律和国家记录之间的通信档案。第二部《海上风景》(The View from Sea)讲述了他们在散居中出现的历史再现。在这里，当代学者和诗人的声音汇聚在一起，以创造性的方式呈现超越殖民档案的历史。第三部分“土著与克里奥尔化”在加勒比地区的流散文化记忆中寻找土著的水印。

Abstract:This article outlines and contextualizes Simone Weil's critique of greatness and its contemporary relevance. Weil argues that the greatness of conquest and colonization is ersatz greatness based on violence. For Weil, worshipping greatness is a path to fascism. Drawing from this, I argue that Weil's critique provides an opening for the abolition of greatness as a political narrative. To make this second move, I expand Weil's critique of the historically situated concept of greatness to challenge reactionary ideals of history in the contemporary US contextualized by referencing controversies about statue removals and Critical Race Theory in primary education.

Abstract:Evidence of structural oppression is everywhere. Despite this, many well-meaning people remain complacent in the face of these enduring wrongs. While activists and academics often hope that more and better information (e.g., statistical representations of injustice, personal narratives of suffering, well-reasoned moral appeals) will provoke action to challenge oppression, I consider a different possibility: that complacency is a necessary survival strategy for individuals whose self-understanding reflects the ideal of the sovereign subject. In this paper, I argue that maintaining a sense of sovereignty requires learning to feel—and not feel—many things and that these structures of (un) feeling regard appeals to address oppression as personal impositions. I suggest that movements aiming to challenge oppression may therefore benefit from developing a politics of affective transformation that opens us up to feeling ourselves and our structural conditions differently.
