Against the Mythological Machine, Towards Decolonial Revolt
This article seeks to explore the temporal experience of decolonization/decoloniality through Furio Jesi's phenomenology of revolt, using the Puerto Rico summer protests of 2019 as a case study, to suggest that decolonization inhibits the functionality of the mythological machine because in the context of coloniality, revolt is the product of a biological exigency. In addition, I argue that decolonization should not be understood as an inevitable…
Resisting (Meta) Physical Catastrophes through Acts of Marronage
The colonial process constituted a twofold catastrophe.

This metaphysical catastrophe relegates the ra…
Teorizando una filosofía del cimarronaje
This article consists of an elaboration of a philosophical conception of marronage to put it in conversation with decolonial thought, in broad terms.

I argue that the relationship betwee…

This text will demonstrate that marronage, rather than being simply flight from the plantation in a literal sense, also refers to flight from oppressive institutions through permanent institutional reconfiguration as well as to an existential state of Being. In …
