The Covid Emergency as Autoimmune Disease
This article analyzes the United States biosecurity state’s orchestration of the COVID-19 phenomenon into a public health emergency, tracing the legal platforms that made this mobilization possible. Leaning on the longstanding reverberations between political and biological discourses around immunology, I argue that the polis entered into a state of autoimmune disease where its public/private biosecurity organisms attacked its own body politic. C…

Iberians are different
Historically, Iberian breeds were considered the height of perfection, but with the development of the Thoroughbred (the embodiment of enlightened modernity) they increasingly were aligned with Spanish obsolescence. However, this dichotomy is too simple and often incorrect. As this paper illustrates, the Spanish Pure Breed itself is the outcome of a major modernization effort in the sixteenth century, linked to the Spanish colonial empire’s own e…
Equine/Human Lyme Embodiments
Lyme Disease continues to be a complex phenomenon, medically, culturally, epistemologically. Based on a theoretical framework steeped in feminist science studies and post-human onto-epistemologies, I suggest that conventional biomedicine has failed not only practically as far as helping patients suffering from Lyme and other "emergent diseases," but also conceptually as it applies the determinist monocausal infectious disease model to Lyme. Sever…
The New Cinema Going to the Dogs? The Encounter with Animal Otherness in the FilmEl aura
This paper explores the topic of animal alterity in Argentinian cinema in general, but primarily in Fabián Bielinsky's El aura. Through one of its much overlooked main characters, a wolfish dog, and her relationship with the human protagonist, this thriller develops a dialogue with the excluded and repressed visual subject status of animals. Historicizing this visual paradigm as originating in Renaissance perspectivism, and theorizing it alongsid…

On the Ideology of Antifascism
The demise of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) goes hand in hand with putting to rest its own ideological justification, namely antifascism. The GDR's demise ironically and belatedly confirms the GDR's materialist self-interpretation: the decline of the (self-declared) socialist state invalidates the theoretical foundation formerly affirmed as true. At the very least, the GDR's passing, its raison-d'etre an intended antifascism has therefore …
