The Afterlives of Mere Life
To assemble a Benjaminian theory of hunger striking requires delving into his theory of the revolutionary strike as a suspension of corporeality from a continuum of subjugation. Revolutionary strikes and divine violence both dissolve inculpation and expiation, “for the domination of law over the living ceases with mere life.” This excess of mere life to law opens the political logic of the hunger strike. Benjamin's search for a violence of pure m…
The absence of absence
The centrality of apparition and disapparition as political manifestation and existential threshold informs enforced disappearance as a political regime that interrupts the existing densities and securities of social visibility in private and public spheres. The author contends that executive power deploys enforced disappearance to amplify its ekphrastic power. However, the latter can be confronted by the ekphrastic testimony of survivors of disa…

Majoritarian right is a predicative apparatus instating both a politics of measure and a politics of the discountable. It commences a majority/minority fracture as a constitutive antagonism in which the majority and the minority unfol…
The uninheritable state and the post-public sphere
In The Politics of Postsecular Religion (2008), Ananda Abeysekara contends that justice has to be predicated on the forgetting of systems of commensuration and calculation for an im-possibility – i.e., an ethical excess – that cannot be circumscribed by repeatable and calculable law. This ethical excess defines a space of politics that would similarly abandon the legacies of codified public memory. However, many of the elements that he identifies…
