Abstract

In this article I criticize Hannah Arendt's concept of natality as unable to confront the ways in which racial capitalism links the biopolitical cultivation of natality to the necropolitical natal alienation that is structural to modern slavery. I base this argument in an understanding of social death as the production of racial capitalism, one that gives slavery an aftermath, post-abolition, which continues to dispossess Black and brown people of their capacity to begin something anew via their inclusion into juridical personhood. I conclude this article with an articulation of the political impossibility of Black and brown people to begin something anew under a polis that remains structured by racial capitalism in Ralph Ellison's phenomenological description of the invisible man's misrecognized new beginnings with the Brotherhood.
走向黑人对本性的激进批判
在这篇文章中,我批评汉娜·阿伦特(Hannah Arendt)的出生概念无法面对种族资本主义将出生的生命政治培养与现代奴隶制结构性的死亡政治出生异化联系起来的方式。我的论点是基于对社会死亡的理解,认为这是种族资本主义的产物,它给奴隶制带来了后果,在废除奴隶制之后,它继续剥夺黑人和棕色人种通过纳入法律人格而重新开始的能力。在这篇文章的最后,我用Ralph Ellison的现象学描述来总结黑人和棕色人种在一个仍然由种族资本主义构成的城邦中重新开始的政治不可能性。

期刊介绍: The critical philosophy of race consists in the philosophical examination of issues raised by the concept of race, the practices and mechanisms of racialization, and the persistence of various forms of racism across the world. Critical philosophy of race is a critical enterprise in three respects: it opposes racism in all its forms; it rejects the pseudosciences of old-fashioned biological racialism; and it denies that anti-racism and anti-racialism summarily eliminate race as a meaningful category of analysis. Critical philosophy of race is a philosophical enterprise because of its engagement with traditional philosophical questions and in its readiness to engage critically some of the traditional answers.
