An issue of: differences

Special Issue Editor: Elizabeth Stewart

In this special issue contributors examine trauma, political violence, and the memorializations of trauma. Topics include how French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan's concept of "passage à l'acte" can be used to analyze the dissolution of social bonds and the emergence of violence in contemporary societies and the emergence of necropolitics, necrocapitalism, Afropessimism, and "Lacan noir" on the socio-politico-cultural scene.

Contributors: Gustavo Dessal, Stefan Ecks, Peter Goodrich, Rosaura Martinez-Ruiz, Tracy McNulty, Elizabeth Stewart, Calvin Warren, Anthony C. Wexler
