Interior Intersubjectivity
There is much in Hortense Spillers's work to celebrate—from black feminism to literary criticism. One of her crucial contributions, however, has received little, if any, scholarly attention. Calvin Warren calls this a black discourse theory. Although we've focused on “the American Grammar Book” and its discursive violence, her proposed “solution” to this violence is virtually neglected. These remarks are intended to foreground this intervention b…
Black Transmission
This meditation is an experimentation with Hortense Spiller's concept of psychoanalytics. It considers the hieroglyph as a repetitive and enacted (but unrepresentable) force of historical trauma marking black bodies and passed between them generationally (much like the Lacanian object a). Reading the Lacanian pass and erotogenic zones as heuristic features of the hieroglyph, this meditation presents black nihilism as an analytic setting enabling …
The Karen Call
In this thought experiment, I provide a philosophical reading of the “Karen call” to explain its persistence and impact. I argue the call is an act of shepherding in the twenty-first century—fulling the ethical responsibility and duty of Dasein, as Heidegger presents it in his philosophy. Every call performs ontological labor—a guarding and surveillance of Being—requiring a vigilant policing of ontological boundaries and a marshaling of violence …
Onticídio
Neste texto Calvin Warren aponta os limites do Afropessimismo e da Teoria Queer ao se aproximarem do/a Queer Preto/a. Nomeando de Onticídio o cruzamento entre a posição de não-ontologia da Pretitude e a experiência de não-liberdade da Experiência Queer, o autor discute im/possibilidades éticas baseadas em aparatos da justiça humanista/humana
The Psychic Hold of Slavery
What would it mean to “get over slavery”? Is such a thing possible? Is it even desirable? Should we perceive the psychic hold of slavery as a set of mental manacles that hold us back from imagining a postracist America? Or could the psychic hold of slavery be understood as a tool, helping us get a grip on the systemic racial inequalities and restricted liberties that persist in the present day? Featuring original essays from an array of establish…
The Catastrophe
This essay argues that black feminist poethics uncovers a deep philosophical problem between pure form and pure matter. Mathematics is the site of such contention, and the decision to retain form or destroy form presents ontological and epistemological complexities for a philosophy of mathematics in Black studies. Ultimately, this essay offers mathematical nihilism as the only hope for blacks in an antiblack world
Ontological Terror
Ontological Terror
This book is born out of numerous conversations, spirited debates, noetic experiments, and silent reflections.My intention is to reinvigorate and expand a philosophical field, one often neglected and ignored: black nihilism.The thinking here represents my attempt to center the ontological crisis blackness presents to an antiblack world.This is a difficult task, and many have provided intellectual and emotional support to accomplish it.I am gratef…
Calling into Being
This essay argues that “tranifestation” is an onto-phonological procedure, which provides insight into being-in-the-world for the human and, implicitly, explains the exclusion of blackness from ontology because of its muteness. Furthermore, the concept of black trans serves a speculative function in foregrounding the problem of black ontology
Black Mysticism
Fred Moten offers a unique philosophical perspective on the deadlock between black optimism and Afro-Pessimism. This essay presents Moten’s “black mysticism” as a philosophy that imagines blackness without Being, thus shifting emphasis from a phenomenology of anti-Blackness (political ontology) to a phenomenology of black spirit (black mysticism). By shifting emphasis, Moten opens up an alternative grammar for understanding black existence and bl…
Onticide
This article argues that black sexuality presents a "problem for thought" within humanism and Afro-pessimism. Humanism continually attempts to integrate blackness into humanity, as a way to make suffering intelligible (structural adjustment); Afro-pessimism, rightly critiquing this structural adjustment, is unable to articulate "particularity" or "difference" (since fungibility presumes an object stripped of human qualities, such as identity). Th…
