Schopenhauer, Compassion, and the Radical Political Subject
Arthur Schopenhauer’s philosophy has been systematically excluded from the canon of radical political thought, dismissed as quietist resignation incompatible with emancipatory projects. This article challenges that exclusion by developing the concept of the pluriversal subject, a political subjectivity derived from Schopenhauer’s metaphysics of will, ethics of compassion (Mitleid), and aesthetic cognition. Where Laclau’s empty signifier demands t…
“Tolerance is Extinction”
This essay employs the animated series X-Men ‘97 (Marvel Studios, 2024) as an aesthetic and theoretical analogue proxy to examine the dialectic of virtue and vice within far-right rhetoric and neoliberal governance. Situating the revival within the franchise’s complex production history, from Lee and Kirby’s 1963 debut through Chris Claremont’s transformation of the mutant metaphor to the series’ current status as Disney-owned intellectual proper…

Leveraging Citizen Science and Low-Cost Sensors to Characterize Air Pollution Exposure of Disadvantaged Communities in Southern California
Assessing exposure to fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) across disadvantaged communities is understudied, and the air monitoring network is inadequate. We leveraged emerging low-cost sensors (PurpleAir) and engaged community residents to develop a community-based monitoring program across disadvantaged communities (high proportions of low-income and minority populations) in Southern California. We recruited 22 households from 8 communities to mea…
Disposable Subjects
This article draws on Gloria Anzaldúa's philosophy to analyze Latina/o cultural forms as responses to the lawful violence that renders migrants and other minoritarian peoples as disposable subjects. The article turns to Latina/o playwrights and undocumented poets whose art forms, produced under the deportation regime, express a desire for freedom from terrorizing governance. Focusing on Lydia (2008), a play by Mexican American playwright Octavio …
Los tiempos de Yraeta
Francisco Ignacio de Yraeta, importante comerciante novohispano, creó entre los siglos XVIII y XIX una importante red comercial que abarcó América, Asia y Europa, si bien no es el único comerciante que logro establecer redes de este tipo, es importante reconocer que la supervivencia de parte importante de su archivo lo hace un sujeto importante para a partir de un caso concreto, entender aspectos importantes de la vida en el periodo referido. Si …
The Illegalities of Brownness
In light of the current immigration debate, and in particular the state-sponsored carceral arguments most recently sparked by the arrival of Central American refugee children on the US-Mexico border, this article takes cues from the late José Esteban Muñoz’s call to sense the feelings of brown subjects. It examines cultural forms produced under the cloak of migrant rights movements to trace the ethical imperative of Brownness enacted by migrant s…
