Imprisoning Politics
This brief introduction lays out the key questions addressed in the special section that follows. It situates “Imprisoning Politics” in the context of ongoing debates about carceral states and their alternatives and about the distinction between liberal and nonliberal political regimes. The introduction asks how practices of imprisonment cut across and so complicate this distinction. For the contributors to the special section, imprisonment is, i…
A Snowball in Hell: On Bateson’s Peter Bell
This article reconsiders the role of aesthetic experience in Gregory Bateson’s work, reading Bateson’s accounts of the double bind and “the external pathways of the mind” alongside developments in brain-centered biological psychiatry. The article discusses Bateson’s response to these modernizing developments before examining one of his aesthetic engagements in detail. Noting that Bateson quotes the same line from Wordsworth’s much-maligned narrat…
Rossellini beyond Repair
This essay analyzes Roberto Rossellini's Europa '51 (1952), a film Gilles Deleuze made famous for its way of "seeing convicts" in a range of social institutions, including the factory, the bourgeois family, and the psychiatric hospital. Recent accounts of Rossellini's career have tended to emphasize his role in manufacturing narratives of postwar national innocence. By contrast, this essay reads Europa '51 as offering a critique of the carceral s…
Cage
This essay studies figures of arrest and mobility, imprisonment and release, and "rigor and extravagance" in Leo Bersani's writings. Focusing on The Forms of Violence, a study of late Assyrian sculpture coauthored with Ulysse Dutoit and first published in 1985, the essay at once follows and moves away from the book's analysis of "a cage which imprisons nothing." Asking what this analysis discloses and what it occludes, the essay turns briefly to …

The Critique of Coloniality: Eight Essays
This translation of Rita Segato’s seminal book La crítica de la colonialidad en ocho ensayos offers an anthropological and critical perspective on the coloniality of power as theorized by the Peruvian thinker Aníbal Quijano. Segato begins with an overview of Quijano’s conceptual framework, emphasizing the power and richness of his theory and its relevance to a range of fields. Each of the seven subsequent chapters presents a scenario in which a p…
You're Not Defeated as Long as You're Resisting”
This interview with Lena Meari considers the history and present of Palestinian hunger strikes. Meari reflects on the political and theoretical dimensions of hunger strikes by Palestinian political prisoners in Israeli colonial prisons and illuminates their relationship to the history of the Palestinian liberation struggle and its transformations from the 1960s into the post-Oslo present. The interview situates the hunger strike at the center of …

Eros: Beyond the Death Drive
This book considers a promise left unfulfilled in Sigmund Freud's Beyond the Principle of Pleasure. There Freud suggests that he will investigate a psychic tendency that is not subject to the pleasure principle, but in fact for Freud the latter remains sovereign. Following Jacques Derrida, Martínez argues that when the pleasure principle comes into contact with the death drive (a tendency toward aggression or cruelty), the psyche can take detours…

The Non-modern Crisis of the Modern University
This article offers a synthesis of the book La crisis no moderna de la universidad moderna and reconsiders many of its main claims, without, however, rehearsing the conceptual history that the book develops. These claims bear on several non-modern crises, crises affecting (1) the modern conflict between knowledge and thought; (2) the modern dispute between the superior, technical faculties and the inferior, critical faculty; (3) the university un…
Critical Times / The Earth Trembles
This text shows how the strike has been appropriated and reinvented by feminist movements to politicize the problem of violence against women and to link it to broader social, economic, and political issues. It underscores how a wide variety of unexpected alliances and coalitions have been enabled by the strike and how they have multiplied its impacts and meanings. This political process has involved efforts to forge a new internationalism, with …
A Manifesto in Four Themes
Throughout the Americas, an emphasis on the ideal of the family, defined as the subject of rights to be defended at all costs, has galvanized efforts to demonize and punish what is called “the ideology of gender.” The spokesmen of the historical project of capital thus offer proof, Segato argues, that, far from being residual, minor, or marginal, the question of gender—of the patriarchal order—is the cornerstone and center of gravity of all forms…
Special Section: Transnational Feminist Strikes and Solidarities
This special section gathers activist texts and theoretical reflections on the International Women's Strike of March 8, 2017. Contributors from Turkey, Argentina, Poland, and Italy consider the strike's implications and effects, emphasizing the ways in which it both indexes and advances, both speaks to and spurs, a radical re-politicization of feminism. Texts by Rita Segato and Françoise Vergès provide critical frameworks for understanding this p…
Migrating Tactics: An Interview with Ewa Majewska and Katarzyna Rakowska
This interview considers Polish feminists’ participation in both the Black Monday protests of October 3, 2016, and the International Women's Strike held on March 8, 2017. Majewska and Rakowska attest to the long process of organizing and the ongoing histories that these strikes continued. These are histories of workers’ struggle as much as of feminist activism, and both Majewska and Rakowska speak to the inseparability of feminist efforts—includi…
The Decay of Sighing: Cesare Pavese'sLavorare Stanca
This essay locates a poetics of fatigue in Lavorare stanca, the first collection of verse published by Cesare Pavese. This poetics entails several related shifts: from emotion to affect, from effusiveness to reserve, and from expansiveness to a limitation that is at once literary and geographic. Critics have long emphasized Pavese's cosmopolitan literary borrowings and noted in particular his engagements with the literature of the United States, …
Salò and the School of Abuse
Repeatedly, Pier Paolo Pasolini's last film, Salò o le 120 giornate di Sodoma (1975), has been read as prophesying later political realities. This essay instead analyzes Salò's insistent backwardness: its interest in dated rituals, fascist politics, "regressive" sexual practices, and outmoded pedagogical forms. By these backward means, the essay argues, Salò schools its spectators in what Ernesto De Martino calls the salience of the "bad past tha…
Learning by Hart: Gender, Image, and Ideology in Vittorio De Sica'sMaddalena zero in condotta
Vittorio De Sica's early comedy Maddalena zero in condotta (1940) celebrates a female student's free-spiritedness and appears to reward her rebelliousness. This essay argues, however, that De Sica's film reconsolidates the very gender norms that it appears to relax. Maddalena does this by prompting spectators to identify with a schoolgirl whose heart's desire is for a maturità that rules out real mobility, and whose disobedience thus in fact cons…
