Dominating the battlespace
In this paper, we argue that the political right is a coherent object of analysis and a powerful presence in US politics, because it possesses a spatially-informed alternative theory and practice of society. We thus propose the concept of battlespace as an analytic to understand the political right's project. The right constructs its alternative theory and practice of society, we argue, through spatial tactics that seek to generate collective exp…
The Ordinariness of January 6
The January 6, 2021, Capitol riot appeared as an extraordinary and shocking event to many American citizens. In fact, the various framings of the riot such as “insurrection,” “sedition,” or “domestic terrorism” seem to confirm the unprecedented nature of the day. By contrast, in this article we argue that January 6 can be understood in terms of its ordinariness, that is, as “the most ordinary thing that could happen” when viewed in the context of…
Governing “decadent cities”
Ecological crisis has given rise to a range of discussions over “climate fascism,” “green nationalism,” “fossil fascism,” and “eco-fascism.” Several authors have advanced the thesis that climate adaptation will be shaped by an increase in authoritarian politics or an uptick in organized violence (e.g. at the borders of nation-states) as states deploy counterinsurgency tactics against climate refugees and environmental activists. My article invert…
Normalizing counterinsurgency in the United States
In this article, I elaborate on the thesis that counterinsurgency has become a ‘new governing paradigm’ in the United States. I first argue that the DoD redefinition of terrorism blurred the conceptual boundaries between counterterrorism and counterinsurgency, to ease the latter’s transition from the field of military strategy to that of political governance. Second, I argue that counterinsurgency became a governing paradigm, based on political t…
Provincializing Trump
In this article, I theorize urban displacement as an anti-democratic politics that emerged and intensified at planetary scale in the last fifty years. I call this assault on the conditions of possibility of democratization organized displacement. As democracy has increasingly taken an urban character across the globe, I argue that organized displacement has emerged as a counter-politics. Organized displacement has two constitutive features: socia…
Racial Feralization
In this article, I propose the concept of racial feralization to explain the links between planetary urbanization, risk societies and race. The threat of racial feralization - as an apocalyptic eschatology of regression and the unraveling of the species - has always animated and conditioned the emergence of the discourse of 'Man' as well as the concept of race. The history of racism, that is, is also a history of responses to possible catastrophi…
