Plasticity and Fungibility
This article critically examines the role of neurobiology in the work of Sylvia Wynter through her own “pieza framework.” Wynter argues that the pieza, the figure of exchange invented at the beginning of the slave trade, haunts contemporary political economy through multiple forms of human fungibility. Reading this intervention alongside and against her deployment of neural plasticity, the author reconsiders the relationship between race, gender,…
Toward a Sexual Difference Theory of Creolization

The first section maps the movement of one concept, the rhizome, as it travels between and beyond the work of Glissant and tha…
