Delighted to see this paper published, co-authored with my excellent friend and colleague Patrick Teed!

'Dissonant Seas' examines the actively un-thought antiblackness at the heart of new materialist debates in critical ocean geography.

thank you for sharing! your work sharpened our thinking immensely!

the one where christopher mcateer and i argue that oceans are racist (new materialist geographies structurally unthink antiblackness) t.co/42AFyZrqQn

it’s like constantly reminding u you’re only here because twitter is dying.

can bluesky really just make it’s format -exactly- what twitter’s was or something totally different, cause i’m sorry the very similar but slightly different is absolutely painful to interface with.

An excerpt from the linked article, which reads: "Thinking with Saidiya Hartman’s insight that the 'demands of the slave on the present have everything to do with making good the promise of abolition, [which] entails much more than the end of property in slaves,' I contend that mobilizations of abolition in the main operate through a constitutive disavowal of slavery’s ongoingness (even, and perhaps most especially, as they avow the prison as historically linked to the trans-Atlantic slave trade). More specifically, I argue that a brutal empiricism, constituted in abolitionism’s originary iterations, authorizes contemporary abolitionist politics. I do so by interrogating how the insistence on and focalization of the prison rather than slavery symptomatically reveals political-libidinal investments in the reproduction of antiblackness. In short, I argue that to assert the prison as the object of abolition is to both presume and reify an antiblack historiography..."

in our latest issue, @patrickteed.bsky.social argues that the "turn to the carceral positions slavery as the prison’s antecedent rather than as the regime of power that gives the prison its form" — read "Whither Abolition?" here: read.dukeupress.edu/differences/...

the suspension of the defense mechanism is, perversely, just an inversion of the mechanism itself tho, so 👀👀
