Abstract:The Anthropocene has intensified the post-Romantic and anti-Cartesian sense that Nature is not a thing, the planet is not a commodity, and that human life is ecologically intertwined with various other-than-human beings. There are, however, two distinct ways in which one might think about moving beyond the Earth as a commodity. Various theoretical movements have sought to think of all life and matter as vibrant. Despite first appearances this is at odds with indigenous claims for personhood that require a distinction, rather than flattening, of modes of things.

Abstract:This article presents the practice of extreme bag-carrying among women from both phenomenological and existential perspectives, examining the potential political and social substructures inducing women to enact a pain-producing habit. Drawing on insights from both phenomenology and existentialism, this essay aims to get underneath the practice, making legible the motivations behind enacting a habit that, while innocuous on its face, poses an immense amount of harm to the bag-carrying woman. The pain factor leaves us with a puzzle through which I propose to sort: the fact of women engaging in a habit that in the end, just hurts.

Abstract:How does one speak the truth in a “post-truth” polity? This article turns to Oscar Wilde and Theodor Adorno to develop an account of critique as mendacious truth-telling that mobilizes the aesthetically pleasing, world-reconstructing power of lying embraced by contemporary neofascists on behalf of democratic social transformation. Rejecting demystification and empirical truth-telling as incapable of responding to the post-truth predicament, the critic as liar combats the “false lies” of neofascism by devising “fine lies” that imagine new, more egalitarian modes of social organization.

Abstract:For both decolonial theorist Sylvia Wynter and Marxist feminist Silvia Federici, Shakespeare’s The Tempest unlocks central elements of our racial capitalist history and present. At first glance incompatible, their respective readings are mutually generative. Wynter’s prioritization of racial/colonial categories over ostensibly universal “gender” corrects Federici’s conflation of European women’s oppression with that of African and American Indigenous peoples. At the same time, Federici’s emphases on sexual violence, reproduction, and witch hunts supplements Wynter’s focus on rationalization and secularization. Read together, their work reveals both pitfalls and potential alignments across disparate histories of dispossession that span Shakespeare’s world and our own.

Abstract:This essay considers speculation as a colonial method. To this end, it interrogates the ideological role of vision, understood as both a plan for the future and a mode of seeing, in early Zionist writing. Through an analysis of Theodor Herzl’s Altneuland (Old-New Land, 1902), a work of speculative fiction published by “the visionary” of Zionism, vision emerges as a practice of political and visual speculation that overlooks what already exists in Palestine in order to see beyond the land and into its hidden future potentials. By foregrounding intentional planning and prospective economic improvements, such speculation serves as a justification for colonization and as a counterclaim to indigenous presence, racialized as inefficient and unintentional. Colonial speculation further combines this practice of overseeing with an ethos overcoming. By centering the intentional choice to be present in Palestine and improve it, colonizers not only overcome their initial compromising position—their distance from the land—but also alchemically transfigure it into their greatest political asset, as distance becomes the precondition for speculative, intentional vision and its ownership claims. In this sublime turn, the colonizers’ subsequent presence is presented as superior to the “mere presence” of the indigenous population. While Zionism perceives itself as a thoroughly material project, it is thus exposed as a mode of speculative fiction, which requires distance from the land to justify colonization based on prospective rather than real improvements.

Abstract:The Storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021 took many by surprise, yet mimetic studies had long warned against the powers of leaders that aspire to fascism to turn a mob contra democracy. This essay draws from a genealogy of immanent thinkers of mimetic contagion—from Nietzsche to Deleuze, Foucault to Charlie Brooker—to revisit the attack on the Capitol from the perspective of simulations that are false, yet generate alltoo-real intoxications in the crowd. It argues that if modernism witnessed the “decay of the mimetic faculty” (Benjamin 1986) we are now witnessing its revival in the digital age—if only because new media disseminate hypermimetic conspiracy theories that go viral online and can be turned to (new) fascist practices offline.

Abstract:This essay examines James Baldwin’s engagements with and analyses of race, gender-sexuality and class in the United States. What did these engagements mean for his humanity, his art and his politics? I argue his racial and sexual consciousness must be understood simultaneously, as he experienced them in quare terms. His struggle with overlapping identities and political commitments engendered in the communities to which he belonged shaped his art and political analyses, providing understandings of and ways for confronting systemic class-based, racialized and cisheteropatriarchal structures and violence inside and outside those communities with which he identified.
