In this new work, renowned feminist filmmaker and postcolonial
theorist Trinh T. Minh-ha offers a lyrical, philosophical
meditation on the global state of endless war and the violence
inflicted by the imperial need to claim victory. She discusses the
rise of the police state as linked, for example, to U.S. military
intervention in Iraq and Afghanistan, or to China's occupation of
Tibet, examining legacies of earlier campaigns and the residual
effects of the war on terror. She also takes up the shifting
dynamics of peoples' resistance to acts of militarism and
surveillance as well as social media and its capacity to inform and
mobilize citizens around the world. At once an engaging treatise
and a creative gesture, Lovecidal probes the physical and psychic
conditions of the world and shows us a society that is profoundly
heartsick. Taking up with those who march both as and for the
oppressed-who walk with the disappeared to help carry them
forward-Trinh T. Minh-ha engages the spiritual and affective
dimensions of a civilization organized around the rubrics of
nonstop governmental subjugation, economic austerity, and highly
technologized military conflict. In doing so, she clears a path for
us to walk upon. Along with our every step, the world of the
disappeared lives on.
