Eldridge Cleaver Unthought
Eldridge Cleaver's era‐defining work Soul on Ice was published nearly 60 years ago, but despite being the subject of scholarly attention in a variety of disciplines, Cleaver's life and works remain misunderstood. This critical examination of six decades of Cleaver scholarship demonstrates that our understanding of Cleaver has been impeded by the hegemony of various orthodoxies and a lack of available primary sources. Bringing together scholarship…
Can the Black Male Study? Intersectional Criticism and Black Male Studies—The First Decade
In The Man‐Not: Race, Class, Genre, and the Dilemmas of Black Manhood , Tommy J. Curry called for the creation of a new field, Black Male Studies, which would engage a genre study of Black male death and dying. A variety of scholars have answered this call, cultivating new research on Black and other racialized males that defies the conventions and assumptions of predominant approaches to the study of Black males. Although both Curry's The Man‐No…
Epistemic Pluralism & Astrobiology
Astrobiology is a field that asks profound questions about the universe by simultaneously acquiring knowledge from multiple disciplines in order to propel us toward a better understanding of what life is, how it emerges, and if it exists beyond Earth. In this contribution, we examine the relationship between astrobiology and epistemic pluralism, a perspective developed by philosopher of science Paul Feyerabend that advocates for a worldview in wh…

The Rhetoric of Fascism
On Moderate and Radical Government Whistleblowing
Government whistleblowers are those who disclose classified government documents in violation of the law but do so to bring to light serious government wrongdoing. Scholarly debates have identified various procedural requirements for whistleblowing, and this paper expands upon these insights by providing an account of Edward Snowden’s moderate theory and Julian Assange’s radical theory of government whistleblowing ethics. Through the practice of …
Of Cypherpunks and Sousveillance
For three decades, the cypherpunk movement has fought for the right of individuals and publics to use digital cryptography—or crypto—to defend their individual privacy and promote institutional transparency and accountability. The cypherpunks have also fought for institutional transparency through various strategies of sousveillance. Yet the movement’s contribution to theories of surveillance and the praxis of resistance have been largely overloo…
The Modalities of American Whiteness
Philosophers tend to conceive of whiteness as having only one modality, treating it as a single social, political, and historical phenomenon. Philosophers ought to abandon this habit and instead recognize that there are many whitenesses, that whiteness has a plurality of modalities. Drawing upon Charles Mills’ non-ideal theory, Michael James’s political ontology, and Matthew Frye Jacobson’s cultural history, this study develops a non-ideal politi…
Privacy for the weak, transparency for the powerful
Mediastan
In 2010, WikiLeaks shocked the world when it began publishing US military reports and diplomatic cables, all of which were leaked to the organization by Army Private Chelsea Manning. To maximize th
Amerikan Aristocracy
Leftist political theory remains trapped between two dominant conceptions of sovereignty: the liberal conception of popular sovereignty and the decisionist conception of sovereignty as the power to declare a state of exception. This essay offers a historical critique of the liberal and decisionist conceptions of sovereignty and develops a descriptive theory of aristocratic sovereignty, which is more suited to the history and the needs of radical …
We have the same enemies
During the last two decades, there has been a surge of interdisciplinary interest in the writings of the radical twentieth-century sociologist C. Wright Mills, and one of the central issues in this wave of scholarship has been the Mills’ relationship to feminism and the place of sex and gender in his social theory. Contemporary scholars assert that Mills was largely ignorant about feminism or even hostile to it and that his social theory basicall…
Levinas and the Anticolonial
Over the last two decades, the various attempts to “radicalize” Levinas have resulted in two interesting and often separated debates: one the one hand, there is the debate regarding the relationship between Levinas and colonialism and racism, and on the other hand, there is the debate regarding the relationship between Levinas and Judaism. Whether scholars interested in issues of colonialism disregard Levinas's Judaism or use his "subaltern" iden…
