Subterranean flow of violence
Mythic, national, global, geological
Ontological Magma
Édouard Glissant undertakes a radical rethinking of ontology. The relations of creolization have key political and cultural consequences: they destabilize the Eurocentric foundations of knowledge; they affirm hybridity; they dislocate the colonial systems of power. Yet they also have another, perhaps even more consequential ambition. As Glissant says in Poetics of Relation, creolization contains an “attempt to get at Being.” Relation operates at …

Perplexity, global disorder, Catalonia and Albert Garcia Elena’s poetry
Albert Garcia Elena’s two books of poetry from 2017, Silur d’amagatotis and Tòtem ordre, constitute an extraordinary aesthetic response to a contemporary situation of permanent crisis. This crisis has many names: among others, global war, the dismantling of the modern state, climate breakdown, the precarization of labor or the full commodification of social and mental life. Garcia Elena’s poetry assembles singular objects that lack most of the re…
Global War, Popular Referendums, and (Non-)Declarations of Independence
The formation of new states has always been an uncertain process. Yet with the emergence of global war and the destabilization of the political categories of modernity, state founding has become even more indeterminate. This paper examines how the contemporary conditions of endless war and sovereign instability thwart the performative acts of declarations of independence, especially, and paradoxically, when they result from a peaceful referendum.…
The Survival Regime
The Survival Regime explores the concept of survival to describe the effects on politics of the fusion of war and capital in globalization. Survival defines a sort of degree zero governmentality that has resulted from the crumbling of the political and spatial architecture of modernity, particularly the state. It does not simply name the new content of all politics or the economic law of the strongest of neoliberalism. Rather, it theorizes how sy…

Eugenio Trías's reading of Joan Maragall
This article examines Eugenio Trías's reading of the esthetics and politics of Joan Maragall. Trías uses Maragall as an occasion to articulate his theory of a Catalan civil society based on the figure of Catalunya-ciutat. My text traces the main components of this articulation and relates them to two general problematics: the contemporary withering of civil society, and the ontology of being. I pay special attention to Trías's identification of M…
