<pre>Hi all,
Here are the references to Ruth Wilson Gilmore's and Achille Mbembe's work that I promised to send re: yesterday's discussion on structural violence and disposability:
"Premature death"
-- comes from Wilson Gilmore's 2007 book, "<a href="https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520242012/golden-gulag">Golden Gulag: Prisons, Surplus, Crisis, and Opposition in Globalizing California</a>", where she defines structural racism as “state-sanctioned or extralegal production and exploitation of group-differentiated vulnerability to premature death”
"Necropolitics" by Mbembe<br />-- "sovereignty means the capacity to define who matters and who does not, who is disposable and who is not" (from <a href="https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/arts/english/currentstudents/postgraduate/masters/modules/theoryfromthemargins/mbembe_22necropolitics22.pdf">2003 article</a> in the section on "Necropower and Late Modern Colonial Occupation")<br />-- further elaborated in <a href="https://www.dukeupress.edu/necropolitics">2019 book </a>
<br />This also resonates with what Murrey and Mollett write in their article, "<a href="https://rgs-ibg.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/tran.12610">Extraction is not a metaphor: Decolonial and Black Geographies against the gendered and embodied violence of extractive logics</a>"<br />-- "Extractivisms, as enmeshed logic and material practice, preclude and foreclose certain futures and foster a socio-economic context in which people are compelled to buy into extractivism as the only possible future. Political ecologists thus write about the attritional violence of extraction, in which ‘death-worlds’ are created where people are subject to physical and psychological threats of imminent death."<br /><br />See you at the next session,<br />Janna<br />
