Settler Colonial Studies and/as the Transnational Western
The article explores contemporary debates regarding the representation of Indigenous resistance in the field of settler colonial studies by putting the work of Australian theorist Patrick Wolfe into conversation with the political allegories articulated in two contemporary Western films. Its first section, tracing what Wolfe called his “pharmacological indebtedness” to Gayatri Spivak, considers the methodological problems for settler colonial stu…
The Necropolitics of Liberty
This article approaches the speculative fiction of the survivalist right as an archive that can illuminate the continuities between the fantasies of necropolitical power that animate the radical right and undergird the sovereignty of the United States. Focusing on Malheur National Wildlife Refuge occupier LaVoy Finicum’s 2015 novel Only by Blood and Suffering: Regaining Lost Freedom, this essay argues that such survivalist fiction, in imagining a…
Morta Las Vegas
Las Vegas, Nevada was transformed into a crime scene of national significance by the mass shooting perpetrated by Stephen Paddock on the night of October 1, 2017, only a few weeks after Morta Las Vegas went to press. This historical accident makes reading this monograph an uncanny experience. Paddock’s crime, inexplicably horrific yet inevitable in a region and a country addicted to gun violence, was at once random and predictable. It is precisel…
A Response to “On Colonial Unknowing”
This response to the editors of “On Colonial Unknowing” both acknowledges the vital intervention of their special issue and contests their characterization of settler colonial studies as an “academic field formation” marked by dogmatic and hermetic methodological tendencies. Settler colonial studies, we argue, is a still emergent subfield marked by a dynamic interchange with related fields and disciplinary formations. Settler colonial studies and…
On Joan Didion
Joan Didion is one of the most celebrated writers of our time. From her novels and reportage to her recent memoirs, Didion has honed a hallmark style and authorial persona, both of which have led to encomiums and controversy in the press. Yet when compared to American writers of similar notoriety, there are comparably few scholarly treatments of Didion's writings. In this multivoiced essay, scholars of life writing, documentary, and fiction explo…
The Settler Unchained
This article argues that the phrase "monopoly of violence," which circulates in so many contemporary academic critiques of the liberal state, is not adequate to describe the nature of violence deployed by settler colonial societies against indigenous and racialized bodies. Settler colonialism depends on a mode of popular sovereignty that serves primarily as a diffusion of the necropolitical power of the colonizing polity rather than as a check on…
Introduction
The concept of the frontier has been central to many recent studies of settler colonialism. In Patrick Wolfe's work, the frontier constitutes the “primal” settler/indigenous binary that structures and belies the ostensible commitment of settler societies to multicultural pluralism. While Wolfe thus calls attention to the role the “frontier binary” plays in the “logic of elimination,” he has also criticized the frontier as a representational trope…
A terrible beauty
The Western has long been understood as a mythic genre that utilizes historical representation in service of presentist allegories that address the sovereignty of the settler nation-state. While many have lauded the Home Box Office program Deadwood for presenting a more realistic – and thus less generic – vision of US territorial expansion, this article argues that Deadwood rather effectively embraces the Western genre?s tendency to refract front…
