Images from an exhibition of artworks by Arissana Pataxó

00Arika00 — 2024-11-08 23:50:00 UTC

In Brazilian Portuguese, the word “indigente” not only means pauper or destitute, as it does in Latin, but is also a legal and journalistic term used to describe unidentified dead bodies, particularly in the expression “enterrado como indigente” (buried as someone with no identity and no relatives). Pataxó’s intervention equates the lost identity of the photographed subjects to the lack of identity of destitute dead bodies that are buried without a name, without relatives or friends.

BOOK by Avery F. Gordon

00Arika00 — 2024-11-09 10:50:48 UTC

Drawing on a range of sources, including the fiction of Toni Morrison and Luisa Valenzuela (He Who Searches), Avery Gordon demonstrates that past or haunting social forces control present life in different and more complicated ways than most social analysts presume.

BOOK by Houria Bouteldja

00Arika00 — 2024-11-09 10:58:39 UTC

Why am I writing this book? Because I share Gramsci's anxiety: “The old are dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear.” The fascist monster, born in the entrails of Western modernity. Of course, the West is not what it used to be. Hence my question: what can we offer white people in exchange for their decline and for the wars that will ensue? There is only one answer: peace. There is only one way: revolutionary love.

Talk by Avery F. Gordon

00Arika00 — 2024-11-09 11:00:39 UTC

For Avery F. Gordon, haunting registers the harm or loss sustained by a social violence done in the past or being done in the present. Unlike trauma, this living meeting opens up possibilities rather than fatalistic views of the future. In her writings, Gordon is interested in how haunting can be cultivated towards more just and peaceful ends and how to eliminate the structural conditions that produce ghosts in the first place.

FILM - In the Light of Reverence

00Arika00 — 2024-11-09 12:32:09 UTC

Ten years in the making, In the Light of Reverence explores American culture’s relationship to nature in three places considered sacred by native peoples: Devils Tower in Wyoming, the Colorado Plateau in the Southwest and Mount Shasta in California. Rich in minerals and beloved by recreational users, these “holy lands” exert a spiritual gravity that pulls Native Americans into conflict with mining companies, New Age practitioners and rock climbers. Ironically, all sides see themselves as besieged. This award-winning film documents the Lakota, Hopi and Winnemem Wintu efforts to protect their most sacred places. Their battles tell a new story of culture clashes in an ancient landscape.

Power: Having control or authority to dictate or influence people and organizations’ behavior and actions.

Potential: Having the capacity to build or develop a positive outcome in the future.

Power and the potential for power shape the relationships we have between ourselves, our institutions, and our governments. We relate these two words in this issue of Fwd: Museums to highlight how those being unjustly or unfairly treated have the potential to create their own power and invite submissions related to this theme.

Interview with Harry Josephine Giles by Bella Milroy

00Arika00 — 2024-11-13 14:20:43 UTC

So, so from its beginning, the the book was actually born of that process of being at home, being in the islands and talking with people who are working with the language and thinking about how the language can be written. And so the themes of the book, the the story of the book all come from, you know, that initial place and it took me about six years to write the book and it involves that involves regular periods of return, I sort of couldn't write it anywhere, except I had to keep going home to do the big chunks of work on it because it wasn't coming out in the same way when I was in Edinburgh.

Late modern war and the geos: The ecological ‘beforemaths’ of advanced military technologies

00Arika00 — 2024-11-13 15:41:13 UTC

This article develops the idea that late modern war’s relationship with the geos (the ground and the life it sustains) is doubly destructive. While part of this is recognized in a recent focus on slow violence and ecological aftermaths, there is little consideration of the ‘beforemath’, or the sites of extraction that make advanced military technologies possible. Drawing attention to mining in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), the article connects military technologies to arms manufacturers and their use of extracted minerals (e.g. cobalt, tantalum, copper, uranium). Shared patterns of environmental and public health effects across parts of Iraq, Gaza and the DRC indicate the doubly destructive nature of late modern war’s relationship with the geos: toxic materials threaten life after war as the deposits of bombardment and before war as mineral commodities at the beginning of arms supply chains. The article explicates how a perspective from the beforemath radically refigures the ways we think about war and spatiality, temporality, and the range of bodies affected in ways that promise a fuller understanding of the violence distributed by practices of late modern war.
