Home, Race, and Reparative Critique
This article argues that social and political—and particularly antiracist, anticolonial, and feminist—theories have a tendency to frame home as a useful concept for critical theorizing only to the degree that home is idealized into a site of belonging and liberatory identity or castigated as a site of exclusion and oppression. In contrast, this article argues that there is a specific critical force that can come from emphasizing the ambivalence o…
On Covid and Racism as “Twin Pandemics
This paper draws on Michel Foucault’s work to offer a critique of how two problems – COVID 19 and the racism that gave rise to the 2020 racial uprisings – were conjoined under one language of disease and, consequently, one model of disease management. Drawing on Foucault’s account of apparatuses [ dispositifs ] of security, it argues that the conjunction of COVID and racism tacitly invokes what I call a model of inoculation, wherein the goal is t…
I Understand That I Will Never Understand
This article offers a philosophical exploration of, and critical engagement with, the antiracist slogan "I understand that I will never understand. However, I stand." Drawing on Charles Mills's discussions of white ignorance and Édouard Glissant's conception of the "right to opacity," it first offers several interpretations and philosophical reconstructions of the claim that white allies "understand that they will never understand," reading this …
Anti-Racism and Releasement
This paper explores the selective uptake of Martin Heidegger’s work in critical philosophy of race and in black studies. While scholars have drawn from Heidegger’s thinking on technology to offer accounts of the technological production of race in general and of blackness in particular, few have engaged with Heidegger’s response to technology: his discussions of Gelassenheit or “releasement.” This paper analyzes this avoidance of Gelassenheit, ar…
Agon, Ethics, and Anarchafeminism
Negating Futures
For Estrangement
This paper describes the stakes of ongoing conversations in areas of queer theory and black studies on the epistemological, ethical, and political role of unintelligibility. In line with longstanding philosophical questions about the value of aporia as gap or absence in or understanding, thinkers like Lee Edelman and Frank Wilderson III have articulated how black and queer people have regularly fallen into spaces of unintelligibility as they have…
Attempting Redress
This paper explores Saidiya Hartman's undertheorized account of 'redress' in conversation with the extensive uptake of her work on Black fungibility, subjection, and critiques of emancipation. Although Hartman uses the term in nearly all of her writing, little work has been done to clarify how Hartman conceptualizes redress as a response to the constitution of Black lives as abstract, exchangeable, and disposable. This paper offers an account of …
Fanon's Body
This article approaches Judith Butler as herself a theorist of race and racism by exploring her unacknowledged and often problematic reading of Frantz Fanon and his concept of the historico-racial schema. It first traces Butler's uses of Fanon's thinking across her work, outlining the different ways that she draws on Fanon in theorizing race and racism. The article then shows how that theorizing stems from Butler's reading of the historico-racial…
