At Odds with the Temporalities of the Im-possible; or, What Critical Theory Can (Still) Do
This essay engages with the question of critical possibility—or, the possibility of critique—and, more specifically, the political temporalities that sustain critical potential in the present and for the future. The essay asks whether and how the aesthetic can serve as a resource for making sense of the question of possibility and for developing a conception of critical subjectivity. To question what critical theory might still do in the present …
(Im)possible Breathing
Written in the midst of a courageous collective response to antiblack police brutality in the US, this text tackles the figure of breathing as a performative embodiment of grammar and time through which the ongoingness of racialized breathlessness is articulated, dis-remembered, and dismantled. In the wake of the Black Lives Matter movement, the text seeks to account for repeated and immeasurable (un)breathability in its particular implications i…

Precarious Rhetorics
OUR COLLEC TION has come together in the midst of the rise of the global Right.It will likely be received and circulate in a global context wherein this ascendency has been consolidated through an entrenched hard-right populism, marked by xenophobia and racialized social orderings, and characterized by nativist, heteronormative, hypermasculine, and heteropatriarchal leadership styles and structures.Such structures are apparent in the authoritaria…

Agonistic Mourning
Drawing on a wide range of contemporary social and political thought, the book engages with a feminist dissident movement: namely, former Yugoslavia’s “Women in Black” ( Žene u Crnom or ŽuC ) and its practices of performative mourning for the abjected other. This agonistic mourning involves standing still in public, wearing black, and holding vigils to acknowledge the victims of the “other side.” In performatively occupying the position of the in…
Nonsovereign Agonism (or, Beyond Affirmation versus Vulnerability)
Precarious Intensities
This essay is concerned with the gendered body politics emerging in the antiausterity protest sphere forming in the context of an ongoing debt crisis in Greece. How do bodies, subjects, and collectivities come into play when they protest modalities of power that foreclose the conditions that make it possible to contest them? How does protesting the neoliberal regime of knowledge and power encompass processes of gendered, raced, and classed subjec…

Bloodlines
Organized around fantasies of endangered national sovereignty, discourses of population decline bespeak a highly politicized cultural anxiety that has come to haunt individual and collective imaginaries in the public life of Greece in the 1990s. The rhetoric of biopolitics about the precarious future presents the nation as a bleeding body and an object of mournful nostalgia and affective idealization. Prompted through normative renderings of time…
