Lo que aprendí al releer a Schopenhauer desde los feminismos negros

Releer a Schopenhauer desde los feminismos negros revela los límites del pesimismo filosófico frente a la esperanza radical cultivada por pensadores y pensadoras negras.

"The Zionist produces and defines itself through the animalization of the Palestinian."

"Palestinian liberation is an impossibility in the current ordering of knowledge and being, similarly demanding through its realization the end of […] this world, and modernity."

This paper "posits that Palestinian freedom necessitates the creation of new worlds and [the getting rid of encumbering] constructs such as modernity and the Human."

Afropessimism and Palestinian Liberation: An Essay

In October 2023, at the beginning of an ever-escalating genocide against the Palestinian population of Gaza, I wrote some rambling, rather perfunctory, thoughts on Afropessimism and Palestinian Lib…

Falling Into Incandescence

@kiwi ...because of war, class war from above, imperial lifestyle and the unbroken coloniality of being/power/truth/freedom*? Yes, so much!

“Novelist Min Jin Lee has said that the experience of reading bell hooks, who wrote more than one such text, “was as if someone had opened the door, the windows, and raised the roof in my mind.” I felt much the same way reading Fugitive Feminism by Akwugo Emejulu.”

Katherine McKittrick's Demonic Grounds: Black Women and the Cartographies of Struggle recurrently on my mind this morning. I should go back and re-read that, after I get through the pile I have from the #library this month.

Choosing love over hate does not mean there's kumbaya and warm feelings all round. Seems like #MLK should always be contextually read with #JamesBaldwin (& #MalcomX), bc they understood love, and it isn't letting #whiteness set the terms of inclusion, forgiveness, community, because if it does, love will still be exclusive, still reinscribe white dominance as the underlying sociopolitical and onto-epistemological structures. Love & riots aren't exclusive. See also #FrantzFanon, #SylviaWynter.
"so the differences we see are a result of a system, are the result of an imposition of language, and that is where the transformation must be made and achieved. The only cure will be a transformation of the whole society, and an entirely new knowledge order altogether" fantastic interview with #sylviawynter https://offshootjournal.org/what-will-be-the-cure-a-conversation-with-sylvia-wynter/
What Will Be the Cure?: A Conversation with Sylvia Wynter

<p>Last month, I had a chance to interview Sylvia Wynter about the pandemic, Black studies, and radicalism in our current moment. What began as a series of catch-ups over the course of the pandemic, turned into this short interview—a glimpse into the conversations we’ve had over the last several months. This interview revisits some major themes in her work(s), with the added context of our current/ongoing context of the pandemic/rebellion/authoritarian politics. Most importantly, this conversation spotlights her commitment to realizing the Third Event, a break defined by language and storytelling, as the way out of our current and persistent predicaments. </p>

Lookit, neither the chicken nor the egg came first. Which is to say, they both came first.
