Maroons, buccaneers, and the legend of Trou Forban
Throughout Atlantic modernity, maroon and buccaneer encounters have generated long-lasting legacies that remain largely unexplored. In this essay I trace how these encounters included various forms of mutual recognition among Saint-Domingue’s black and white clandestine people. This history of mutual recognition sheds fresh light on the cultural and ideological context informing the role maroon societies were playing in fomenting slave insurrecti…
A Timeful Theory of Knowledge
Hydrological landscapes played a significant role in the elaboration of Gaston Bachelard’s and Martin Heidegger’s historical epistemologies. More specifically, both philosophers relied on hydroelectric landscapes to explore nonlinear time and profound epistemological shifts in the history of knowledge. The landscapes they invoke are composed of hydroelectric dams, thunderstorms, and related landmarks like mountains, rivers, and lakes. Together, t…

Time and the Hydroelectric Dam
The hydroelectric dam is an interface in which contrasting temporalities converge and undergo transformation. Its massive wall sits at the center of operations where age-old ecosystems clash with rapid modernization, white water turns into a placid lake, and dynamos convert the lake’s gravitational pull into high-voltage electrical current. The hydroelectric dam exploits and exacerbates differences among the temporalities distinguishing these ope…
Haiti and the Black Box of Romanticism
KIERAN MURPHY Haiti and the Black Box of Romanticism T he camera obscura could be considered a "black box" of Ro manticism. Unpacking it can give access to thoughts and transatlantic interactions that have been lost since their initial appearance hundreds of years ago. One of the main recovery efforts that helped locate this remark able black box began with Sarah Kofman's study on the recurrent invoca tions during the nineteenth-century of the ca…

Murphy (bio) Electromagnetism as Scientific and Literary Breakthrough In La Vie et ses Problèmes (1939), French biologist Jean Rostand writes "They say a living being is always born of someone similar to him.
