"Reading The Dead: The Method of (the Critique of) Postcolonial Capitalism" - Prof. Denise Ferreira da Silva

""Para todos todo" dicen nuestros muertos. Mientras no sea así, no habrá nada para nosotros" - these words from the Second Declaration of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (June 1994) guide a method that exposes racial violence in the constitution of global capital. Through a reading of the economic in which flesh and soil confront the categories of historical materialism and its account of value, and a reading of the ethical inspired by Octavia Butler’s imagings of affectability without spacetime, it assembles descriptors of existence through which The Dead troubles The Subjectum and its grip on our political imagination.
