Ennemis de l'apocalypse
Aimé Césaire's Anticolonial Humanism as Species Autopoiesis
Nick Nesbitt's The Price of Slavery: Capitalism and Revolution in the Caribbean (2022) argues for the theoretical insufficiency of mid-twentieth-century Marxist humanisms in the Caribbean, proposing a value-form theory approach to the relationship between slavery and capitalism. This essay, pace Nesbitt, discusses the political poignancy of Aimé Césaire's Marxist humanism through a reading of his 1950 Discourse on Colonialism. It asserts the cont…
Enemies of the Apocalypse
The Rumor of the Earth
This essay considers the collaborative projects of Cuban artist Wifredo Lam and French poet René Char as thematizing an imbrication between two different ends of the world: the end of the colonial world through decolonization and the end of terrestrial life in nuclear war. This connection, I argue, is pursued by Lam and Char through a set of socio-ecological commitments in which the relation between humanity and the earth heralds an apocalyptic v…
A Hora Vermelha
Na primeira tragédia de Aimé Césaire, Et les chiens se taisaient (publicada pela primeira vez em 1946), um herói anticolonial, o Rebelde, luta em um mundo ficcional, anterior à abolição, onde o passado detém uma apreensão profética do futuro. Césaire articula a transformação social por meio de estruturas temporais intempestivas associadas a ciclos orgânicos de vida, mudanças sazonais e imprevisibilidade meteorológica. Esses modelos ecológicos pro…
Queer Tricontinentalism
While much has been made of connections between homosexuality and working-class politics in the work of French communist intellectual Daniel Guérin, his trajectory as a queer revolutionary anti-colonialist has been under-theorised. How do questions of race and questions of homosexuality interact in Guérin's political imaginary? In order to draw out the relation between queerness and anti-colonialism, this article examines the particularly complex…
Tragedy of the Possible
In 1968, Aimé Césaire travelled to Cuba to participate in the Havana Cultural Congress, a mass international meeting where delegates discussed the place of culture in the struggle against imperialism, neo-colonialism, and underdevelopment. Among the likes of C.L.R. James, Nicolás Guillén, René Depestre, Michel Leiris, and Daniel Guérin, it was in Havana that the Martinican politician undertook the until-now untranslated interview with Sonia Aratá…
The Red Hour”
In Aimé Césaire's first tragedy, Et les chiens se taisaient (first published in 1946), an anti-colonial hero called the Rebel struggles in a pre-abolition story-world where the past holds a prophetic grasp on the future. Césaire articulates social transformation through untimely temporal structures associated with organic life cycles, seasonal change and meteorological unpredictability. These ecological models provide the figural registers throug…
