This issue moves beyond the binary of life and death to explore how
the gray areas in between-precarious life, slow death-call into
question assumptions about the social in social theory. In these
"collateral afterworlds," where the line between life and death is
blurred, the presumed attachments of sociality to life and solitude
to death are no longer reliable. The contributors focus on the
daily experiences of enduring a difficult present unhinged from any
redeeming future, addressing topics such as drug treatment centers
in Mexico City, solitary death in Japan, Inuit colonial violence,
human regard for animal life in India, and intimacies forged
between grievously wounded soldiers. Engaging history, film,
ethics, and poetics, the contributors explore the modes of
intimacy, obligation, and ethical investment that arise in these
spaces. Contributors. Anne Alison, Naisargi N. Dave, Angela Garcia,
Fady Joudah, Julie Livingston, Elizabeth A. Povinelli, Solmaz
Sharif, Lisa Stevenson, Zoe H. Wool
