Método, según Marx
Cómo entender el método de la crítica a la economía política en El capital? Retomar el problema epistémico endémico a la noción de crítica en Marx es imprescindible hoy. El método organiza el recuento de la relación entre el análisis económico de la explotación y el análisis histórico de la expropiación central en los debates actuales sobre el corpus de Marx. La crítica que dicho autor hace al positivismo de la economía política clásica es esenci…
Philosophy in the severe style
In Hegel Contra Sociology , Gillian Rose argues that Hegel's political theory is written in the "severe style," marking speculative thinking as the appropriate mode of exposition of capitalist modernity. By taking distance from Hegel, she maintains, Marx and Marxism retain a distinction between thought and actuality that forecloses a proper account of capital. I argue that Marx pursues speculative thinking when accounting for capital's logic of s…
Organizing Pessimism Redux
Engaging the important discussions of Colonial Debts: The Case of Puerto Rico (2021) in the review essays from Judy Rodríguez, Ernesto Blanes-Martinez, and Agustín Laó-Montes, this reply essay from the book's author recounts and situates the main theses of Colonial Debts in light of her current work in Caribbean political economy, particularly concerning figures of speculation that perpetuate the logic of the trade-plantation complex in contempor…

Sensorial Errancy in Decolonial Key
This reflection on Ren Ellys Neyra's The Cry of the Senses: Listening to Latinx and Caribbean Poetics (2020) engages their reading of Beatriz Santiago Muñoz's cinema, paying particular attention to sensorial actualities that offer apprehension of the past of colonial violence that is the present. It focuses in particular on Santiago Muñoz's Otros Usos (2014), which specifically explores Vieques, Puerto Rico. To apprehend the past that is the pres…
Colonial Debts
With the largest municipal debt in US history and a major hurricane that destroyed much of the archipelago's infrastructure, Puerto Rico has emerged as a key site for the exploration of neoliberalism and disaster capitalism. In Colonial Debts Rocío Zambrana develops the concept of neoliberal coloniality in light of Puerto Rico's debt crisis. Drawing on decolonial thought and praxis, Zambrana shows how debt functions as an apparatus of predation t…
The plantation complex in the colony of Puerto Rico
This essay develops a loosely understood Marxist notion of material conditions in light of the Caribbean plantation complex. The racial order endemic to the plantation and its continuation in post-emancipation contexts undermines any spurious base/superstructure distinction at work in an understanding of material conditions even in some accounts of racial capitalism. Material conditions are as ideological as they are “infrastructural” (Sylvia Wyn…
Bad Habits
Recent discussions of Hegel's conception of second nature, specifically focused on Hegel's notion of habit ( Gewohnheit ), have greatly advanced our understanding of Hegel's views on embodied normativity. This essay examines Hegel's account of embodied normativity in relation to his assessment of good and bad habits. Engaging Hegel's account of the rabble ( Pöbel ) in the Philosophy of Right and Frank Ruda's assessment of Hegel's rabble, this ess…

Colonial Debts
Actuality in Hegel and Marx
Critics of Marx of various stripes have rejected the view of historical necessity that he purportedly inherits from Hegel. Marx famously pledges allegiance to Hegelian necessity by arguing, for example, that social antagonisms ‘spring from natural laws’ that work themselves out with ‘iron necessity’; that the bourgeoisie produces its own ‘gravediggers’; that the proletariat’s victory is ‘inevitable’. In response, some commentators have argued tha…
The Promise of Feminist Philosophy
Living a Feminist Life with a reflection on the word "feminism," and she claims to have written the book "as a way of holding onto the promise of that word" (Ahmed 2017, 1). Ahmed is explicit in noting that by "feminism" she means intersectional feminism, and for her, the promise of the word "feminism" is far-reaching
Hegel, History, and Race
Hegel’s philosophy of history and his treatment of race are inextricably entwined. Reflection on this entwinement reveals the complexities of any attempt that aims to mark the limits of Hegel’s thought and Hegel scholarship while at the same time recovering Hegelian insights. Considering Hegel’s conceptions of history and race in the Anthropology and the Lectures on the Philosophy of History helps assess Susan Buck-Morss’ s Hegel, Haiti, and Univ…
Hegel's Theory of Intelligibility
This title picks up on recent revisionist readings of Hegel to offer a productive interpretation of his notoriously difficult work, the 'Science of Logic'. Zambrana transforms the revisionist tradition by distilling the theory of normativity that Hegel elaborates in the 'Science of Logic' within the context of his signature treatment of negativity, unveiling how both features of his system of thought operate on his theory of intelligibility
Logics of Power, Logics of Violence (According to Hegel)
Thanks to Matthew Congdon and María del Rosario Acosta for helpful comments on this essay. I am especially grateful for María del Rosario’s inspiring work on Hegel and the many formative conversations we have shared about Hegel and other matters
Paradoxes of Neoliberalism and the Tasks of Critical Theory
Critical theory must add to its agenda "disrupt[ing] the easy passage from critique [to] its neoliberal double", Nancy Fraser recently argued. Emancipatory movements have not only been transformed by neoliberalism. They have, "unwittingly", provided powerful "ingredients" for the transition to neoliberalism. This essay examines Axel Honneth and Nancy Fraser's assessment of and normative proposal for addressing the paradoxes of neoliberalism. The …
