It Was Always Blood and Soil
In this article, we reconceptualise ecofascism by tracing its roots back to their colonial origin, and in doing so provide firmer ground on which to confront it. First, we outline contemporary literature on ecofascism and isolate three areas of confusion: the actions that constitute it, the most relevant actors, and the theoretical genealogy that best explains it. Second, we offer our own conception of ecofascism by reading Aimé Césaire's concept…
Stripping Away the Masks of Identity
This article stages a critical dialogue between Theodor Adorno and Frantz Fanon, arguing that their writings on negative dialectics and (non)identity thinking reveal the political non-identity of negative dialectics itself. First, we contend that Adorno and Fanon's negotiations of the violence inherent in identity thinking is paramount to their respective oeuvres. Second, we address criticisms of Adorno and Fanon's political response to the viole…

What are the ideological presumptions and functions of private space exploration? To confront this astro-aporia, we proceed in four parts. First, we develop a typology of two broad positions tha…

In the first section of this article, I situate…

Nietzsche, irrationalism, and the cruel irony of Adorno and Horkheimer’s political quietude
Making liberal use of Kant? Democratic peace theory and Perpetual Peace
The work of Immanuel Kant has been foundational in modern democratic peace theory. His essay Toward Perpetual Peace gives three prescriptions for attaining peace between democracies: republican institutions, a pacific union between states, and an ethos of universal hospitality. Contemporary democratic peace theory, however, has warped the Kantian framework from which it draws inspiration: the third prescription has been gradually substituted for …
