Every politics is an aesthetic. If necropolitics is the
(accelerated) politics of what is usually referred to as the
'apolitical age', what are its manoeuvres, temporalities,
intensities, textures, and tipping points? Bypassing revelatory and
reconstructionist approaches - the tendency of which is to show
that a particular site or practice is necropolitical by bringing
its genealogy into evidence - this collection of essays by
artist-philosophers and theorist curators articulates the
pre-perceptual working of necropolitics through a focus on the
senses, assignments of energy, attitudes, cognitive processes, and
discursive frameworks. Drawing on different yet complementary
methodologies (visual, performance, affect, and network analysis;
historiography and ethnography), the contributors analyse cultural
fetishes, taboos, sensorial and relational processes anchored in
everyday practices, or cued by specific artworks. By mapping the
necropolitics' affective cartography, they expand the concept
beyond its teleological, anthropocentric, and reductive horizon of
'making and letting die' to include posthuman and posthumous
actants, effectively arguing for the necropolitics' transformatory,
political potential.
