ESSAY: IN PROGRESS
EMAILS PEOPLE SEND ME ABOUT GENOCIDE
I draw on the emails people have sent me about genocide since October 2023 to follow the peculiar repetition of dissumulations circulating through the discipline of International Relations. Read dialectically with the legal discourse staged by South Africa v. Israel, I show how these dissimulations reveal a received impulse to defend genocidal intent

SCHEMES OF SUBJECTION: THE GENOCIDE PROCEDURAL

ALGORHYTHMIA: THE CONSTANT, RECURRING BEAT OF PAIN
Living chronically in pain, I develop the idea of algorhythym as an analytic for theorizing the social and political relations of stochastic violence, structuring life around the anticipation of pain.
