[@ashleywest7046]

You broke this down so amazingly and made it so understandable. I couldn’t really understand this from my almost 2 hour class the way you explained it in 10 minutes . Thank you

[@LeonieAmmann-j1r]

more accurate and relevant than ever today

Israel isn't "neighbouring" it is the occupier from the river to the sea.

[@fuad000100]

From the river to the sea Palestine will be free! 🇵🇸

Thanks for the video. I picked up Necropolitics a few months ago after reading an essay by Mbembe. He's such a beautiful writer! I found this video by chance but your summary makes me excited to read the book. I'm interested in the implications of the Necropolitics in conversation with modern life

A postmodernist mumbo-jumbo from Paris cafes of the 70s which now passes as some higher intellectualism when in reality it’s just pseudo-academics who failed and weren’t smart enough to do the hard sciences.

This is such an intuitive way of explaining things. As a layperson, it seems as though necropolitics refers to the violent manifestation or results of systems of oppression. Violence as in use of force, negligence, the effects of minority stress, etc.

I was literally watching the first Necropolitics video when this dropped. Super interesting stuff.

[@ryanbenson4610]

Great explanation on a term I didn’t know.

Yea it seems fair to say that the powers that be want life to flourish in a certain way and the existence of some bodies can prevent such desires to be filled (at least at face value). Makes a lot of sense to respond to Foucault in that way. Is the Bataille influence stemming from his thoughts about human sacrifice and the persistence of this type of ritual into the present day?

[@Reflekt0r]

A lot of words sound interesting if you tack on necro- to them. Necrosemiotics, necrosphere, necrovision, you name it. Also necrocar and necrocheese.

[@36cmbr]

Isn't that Not-Cho-Cheese, just saying.

Based on your review and a read of the intro to the essay, I'm missing any real difference between Foucault and Mbembe? Care to comment. In the introduction his work, Mbembe says, “ . . . increasingly pushing liberal democracies to don the garb of the exception, to perform unconditioned acts in faraway places, and to seek to exercise dictatorship over themselves and against their enemies. I ponder the consequences of this inversion”. I am not so familiar with Fanon but have a passing relationship with the critical analysis of Nation State philosophy as criticized by Foucault’s work and life. Foucault said the state that drives its citizenry to suicide is at least shooting itself in the foot, and he went on to prove it. Foucault, like Socrates, did the show and prove version of a philosopher in control of his mind and life. Our question today revolves around whether Foucault was murdered by the state or whether he committed suicide. Which entity is better off, the creature or the creator?

[@motsopemotaung9491]

You mentioning the Holocaust as an example fair enough But what about the current genocide happening In Palestine right Now ? They're doing exactly the same thing worse on the Land of indigenous people of Palestine that been said you explain it very well.

Interesting way to read intersectionality now with this framework, a life/death dichotomy that's in reality a "life%" spectrum, reformed progress allowing dominated classes to earn a percentage of livelihood. Necropolitics and biopolitics are right-wing (non-)existentialism that assign an essentialist amount of life to the beings it wants to see prosper, reproduce, tolerate or eradicate. The more literal exemple I think is with abortion, until then the women is default-assigned to the good mother and the social hierarchy goes: warrior > mother > rapist > prostitute; the act of creating the "essence of life" in its purest form creates the being of "absolute life" somehow, the baby/new-being claimes the top of the hierarchy and the aborting women downgrades to the whore class, hence why materialist arguments can't work as the pro-life desire it to venerate a form of sacred-natural-life as the perpetually reproducing order of things, it doesn't matter if the material conditions and mental desires of the pregnant person, it's all about the replication of the grand order and the social hierarchy. Very enteresting to add this framework as a metaphor-stigma to return as another of these postmodern adjectives that refer to inhumanism: the autistic robot, the queer cyborg, the mad schyzo that's often dehumanized too, the XF alien, the trenscendent monist pansingularitarian neutral-being, the post-human machine, the haunting ghost and now the dead lumpenproletariate... Don't wanna ackowledge my vitality? Fine, I'll haunt you in your deepest repressed mental states where you recognize my vitalism by being jealous of my freedom, spending your days consuming content about me to cry about decadence and invasion, then jerking off to me and feel awful afterwards.
