Across the world, the rhetoric and violence of white supremacy is
rising up. Yet, explanations for white supremacist attacks
typically direct attention toward an unreasonable, paranoid state
of mind, and away from the neocolonial security state that made
them. Offering a response to US expressions of white supremacy,
Liebert reads paranoia as a dis-ease of coloniality by following
its circulation within the ultimate place of reason, indeed a key
arbitrator of it: Psychology. Through reflexivity, interviews,
participant observation, scientific artefacts, and public art, this
unique work seeks to argue for and experiment with unsettling the
entwined coloniality of Psychology and the current political
moment, joining with struggles for a world where it is not only
white lives that matter. Tracing the spinning cogs and affective
coils of the prodromal movement - a program of research that,
capturing potential psychosis, illustrates the serpentine workings
of a control society - Liebert argues that, within a context of
psycurity, paranoia hides as reasonable suspicion, predicts the
future, brands threatening bodies, and grows through fear, thereby
seeping into the cracks of white supremacy, stabilizing it.
Catching this argument as itself enacting psycurity, she then
engages the more-than-human to search for paranoia's decolonizing,
otherworldly potential; one that may revive the psykhe - breath -
of psychologies too. Calling for psychologies to leave Psychology's
comfort zone and make space for imagination, this performative,
interdisciplinary work will engage students, researchers, and
activists from an array of disciplines who wish to examine a
critical and creative response to present-day racism and fascism.
