Reading: Sylvia Wynter - What Does It Mean to Be Human? (Walter D. Mignolo)

Disobedience

De-link

Undo

1492 marks history, memory, and being in modern/colonial world order;

Exercise power and abuse over labour and land - hand in hand.

Economy is only one component of the colonial matrix, the legitimizing discourse which encompasses authority, gender and sexuality, knowledge and subjectivity, authority and economic organization.

Creation of the imaginary Human and the Other

 Border vs Boundary (in some languages other than English, same word is used for both, there is no distinction)

Boundary could be the mutual understanding of the relationship and its unruly edges, rather than the individual preferences and limits.

Prentis Hemphill Quote: Boundaries are the distance at which I can love you and me simultaneously. Boundaries give us the space to do the work of loving ourselves. They might be, actually, the first and fundamental expression of self-love.

Permeability / Rhizome

Reading: Bordering Imaginaries I: Migration, Populism and the Crises of the Neoliberal Nation State (Nabil Echchaibi)

the promises of motion, circulation,

and flows and the realities of killing borders, ruthless incarcerations,

and mass expulsions

Amnesia vs Aphasia - Passive vs Active

The border is an invitation to cross into the unknown, a provocation to errantry;

not a command to stop or a decree to send away

Instead of demonizing borders as a place of disorientation and separation, we need to inhabit the openness and opacity of borderlands (La frontera) because that is where anger, pain, and loss grind against hope, possibility, and living otherwise.

what rhizomes we think with other rhizomes

(it matters what knots knot knots -Haraway)

Is the attractor in/of chaos reading a confirmation bias? and when it becomes a good/bad or secret third thing? Does second order cybernetic proprioception of thought create (reading) more chaos?

Re_ad(d)ing.
