The Militant Intellect offers a way of rethinking the relationship
between critical theory and politics. How does critical theory
become self-conscious of its own relation to politics? How does it
contribute to change the world through its reinterpretation of it?
These are some of the questions that drive The Militant Intellect.
In this book Andres Fabian Henao Castro argues that critical theory
cultivates the militancy of the general intellect by training that
intellect to work towards the intersectional and structural death
of the colonist and thus to envision at the same time the
materialization of that feminist decolonial communist queer
marronage world that constitutes its horizon. Henao Castro borrows
and expands on Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari's idea of
conceptual persona to qualify the intellectual labor of critical
theory as an undisciplined field, that performs its labor through
the creation of conceptual personae capable of subjectivizing
critical thought. Doing so, The Militant Intellect argues for the
indispensable reinterpretation of Plato's Philosopher Sovereign,
Karl Marx's Communist, Frantz Fanon's Rebel, Jacques Derrida's
Specter, Gayatri Spivak's Subaltern, Saidiya Hartman's Wayward
Life, Jacques Ranciere's Ignorant Schoolmaster, Judith Butler's
Antigone/Ismene, and Jordy Rosenberg's Fox as compelling
personifications of intellectual militancy for the general
intellect to have new scripts capable of cultivating the virtuosity
of its more revolutionary performances.
Street-Level Sovereignty: The Intersection of Space and Law is a
collection of scholarship that considers the experience of law that
is subject to social interpretation for its meaning and importance
within the constitutive legal framework of race, deviance,
property, and the communal investiture in health and happiness.
This book examines the intersection of spatiality and law, through
the construction of place, and how law is materially framed.
