From the Autochthonousphere to the Allochthonousphere: Escaping the Logics of Plantations and the Moving Target

Chantelle Gray van Heerden argues that plantation logics create a particular appreciative of the spatial coordinates of histories since the carceral, a kind of facialisation of power, is always reliant on binarisation and biunivocalisation. She argues that in order to bring about real change in the world, anarchism has to become imperceptible without invisibilising whitenesss. Drawing on Deleuze’s The Logic of Sense, she invites the reader to reconsider the surface and the ground. This, she holds, can help us think about how to disrupt the spatial coordinates of the plantation and the racial violence it portends.
