Metaracial: Hegel, Antiblackness, and Political Identity
The Racial Grammar of Kantian Time
This essay reconsiders Kant’s “Analogies of Experience” in The Critique of Pure Reason to show how Kant’s grounding of perception in temporally understood cause and effect helps to institutionalize a racialized grammar that continues in globalization today. Kant’s proof establishes subjective and non-subjective beings in a hierarchical cause and effect relation which is also a consecutive relation in time. One can recognize in Kant’s procedures a…

The Life Process And Forgettable Living: Arendt and Agamben
Hannah Arendt makes no secret of her repulsion from what she calls 'the life process'--the folding of individual into species goals that she believes becomes dominant with civil society. The life process for her can only divert the individual's energy toward a reproduction with which the individual may be at odds. (1) Arendt thus reverses Marx's thesis that 'the perfected political state is, by its nature, the [Gattungsleben] of man' when that li…

Working through" would seem to be the crux of psychoanalysis. It is the collective name for the processes by which, despite itself, resistance gives way. Cumulatively, moments of unknotted resistance account for larger psychic change where it has been stalled -for, by definition, where one needs to work through, an obstacle to change has already arisen. Clinical analysts call psychic change "action"-"action" is what one has to show for one's ther…

Feeling in Theory
This revolutionary work transforms the interdisciplinary debate on emotion by suggesting a positive relation between the "death of the subject" and the very existence of emotion. Reading the writings of Derrida and de Man, Terada finds grounds for construing emotion as nonsubjective.
The Instant of My Death, and: Demeure: Fiction and Testimony
This book presents Blanchot's "Instant of My Death," a tiny prose text of 1994 so spare that nearly any paraphrase overwhelms it, followed by Derrida's Demeure, a hundred-page lecture on the Blanchot text. In Blanchot's story--or memoir, or fantasy--the narrator recalls a young man nearly shot in the last days of World War II. A roving band of soldiers pillages his region of the French countryside, burning farms and killing the farmers' sons. The…
The Instant of My Death
Derek Walcott's Poetry: American Mimicry
With the 1989 publication of his epic poem, Omeros, Derek Walcott stands as a major poet of the twentieth century. However, while most critics agree that Walcott's writing warrants considerable attention, they fault it for being too derivative. Rei Terada deals explicitly with facets of Walcott's work that are often misunderstood by critics and other readers. Terada is particularly interested in Walcott's provocative hypothesis that there is a co…

THIS IS AN ATTEMPT TO READ, in two cases, the meaning of resistance to metalanguage. The notion of metalanguage has long played an allegorical role in the morality play of linguistic debate.' To put it melodramatically, metalanguage appears as a superego or an arm of a police state of consciousness; as Jonathan Culler observes, it makes its users feel securely outside and in control (199). It follows that instances of resistance to metalanguage r…

Enthusiastic critics usually discuss Walcott a…
