Che Gossett: Blackness, Animality, and the Unsovereign Black radical imaginings of abolition as a relation provide a way to think about how the caging and mass killing of animal life, the caging and mass killing of Black life, and the racial capitalism that propels premature death are connected in a deadlock. Blackness and its relation to animality and abolition is often left in what Saidiya Hartman and Frank Wilderson call “the position of the unthought.”Black study/thought prefigures critical animal studies’ investigation of the human/animal binary. Carly / Their writing has been published in Trap Door: Trans Cultural Production and the Politics of Visibility, Death and Other Penalties: Continental Philosophers on Prisons and Capital Punishment, Transgender Studies Reader, The Scholar & Feminist Online, Los Angeles Review of Books, and Frieze. Critiques of “human exceptionalism” and anthropocentrism in critical animal studies often presume that the human in the human/animal divide is a universally inhabited and privileged category, rather than a contested and fractured one.

[a website for the Editor and Narrator of the Circo del Herrero series]‘The zoo is a biopolitical apparatus, a carceral space undergirded by an anthropomorphic cultural imaginary. Mbembe’s formulation of necropolitics not only expands Agamben’s analysis and shows how slavery was one of the first sites of biopolitical experimentation; it also holds explanatory power for thinking about necropolitical violence against animals and how colonialism, anti-black racism and the mass extermination of animals are connected under racial capitalism. Wednesday, August 15, 2018 6:00–8:00 PM Che Gossett will be executing a performative lecture based on their research on racial capitalism, animality and abolition, and queer anti-colonial struggles.

Blackness, Animality, and the Unsovereign by Che Gossett Blackness, Animality, and the Unsovereign “Animal is a word that men haven given themselves the right to give…at the precise moment when they made the animal a theorem, something seen and not seeing” — Derrida, The Animal That I Therefore Am 17.30 Uhr »What Time Is It on the Clock of the World*« International Festival on Feminism and Public Space As Brain Massumi writes in In his essay “The Fact of Blackness,” Fred Moten reminds us “what is inadequate to Blackness is already given ontologies.”  Following this line of flight (a phrase that George Jackson gifted Deleuze) and that from Douglass, the onto-epistemological figuration of blackness as bestial also moves us to see how what is inadequate to animality are already given ontologies that are inextricably tied to colonial contexts and discourse. [BLA and GB GABBLER are two halves of the pen name behind THE AUTOMATION, Vol. Che also points out that animal studies often fail to configure an interrogation of Blackness in its project of animal liberation, a conspicuous absence considering that “Black people have historically been portrayed through scientific racism as animal-like, and [that] this anti-black discourse has overlapped with the ways that the animal has been depicted throughout the course of Western philosophy as the desolate ground upon and against which the human, as a colonial and racial construct, has been defined.” Radical visions of abolition, including those visions of animal liberationists, must confront the devaluation of Black life, racialization as animalization, and the prison industrial complex if abolition is to be “an ongoing aspiration for human-animal-life liberation.” Ultimately, abolition, Che insists, is an expansive and ever-expanding project; indeed, that it is the “unfinished project of ending anti-Black racism, racial capitalism, anti-trans, anti-queer, patriarchal policing, colonialism, animal killing and caging.”Join our email list to receive event announcements in your inbox.Join our email list to receive event announcements in your inbox.Your donation will allow BCRW to continue to grow and develop programming and innovative collaborations rooted in intersectional feminist praxis.

As Brain Massumi writes in my project = if we begin with blackness — defined against & thru violence of "the human" — we end up challenging the human/animal binary1 Black radical imaginings of abolition as a relation provide a way to think about how the caging and mass killing of animal life, the caging and mass killing of Black life, and the racial capitalism that propels premature death are connected in a deadlock.Frederick Douglass for example wrote against the brutality of anti-black racialization as animalization and condemned violence against animals under the plantation regime:In contrast to the vision of abolition offered by Douglass, for many in animal liberation and animal studies, abolition is imagined as teleological; first slavery was abolished and now forms of animal captivity must be, too. For my whole life I’ve been taught that I’m alone, that I will be one of the first or one of the only, that Black people haven’t existed in the places that I exist, but it’s all a lie.

Carly / As Derrida discussed in his seminars titled  Achille Mbembe offers a more nuanced and historicized understanding of the biopolitical in “Necropolitics.” Mbembe names plantation slavery as “one of the first instances of biopolitical experimentation.” What Mbembe’s work shows how the figure of the animal is always already wrapped up in colonial and racial discourse.
