    Epidermalization of Inferiority: A Fanonian Reading of Marie Vieux-Chauvet’s Amour.Keisha Simone Allan - 2023 - Journal of French and Francophone Philosophy 30 (2):95-101.
    As part of the commemoration of the 70th anniversary of Frantz Fanon’s Black Skin, White Masks, the following reflections are akin to his critical work on the psychoaffective impact of colonialism. Fanon’s notion of the epidermalization of inferiority has inspired my analysis of the socio-political struggles in Haiti and the complex antagonisms shaped by colonialism, contemporary political personalities, and constantly clashing perceptions of race, gender and nation. I turn to Fanon’s notion of the epidermalization of inferiority in Black Skin, White (...)

    ‘A definite quantity of all the differences in the world’: Glissant, Spinoza, and the Abyss as True Cause.Angela H. Brown - 2023 - Journal of French and Francophone Philosophy 30 (2):1-15.
    In a conversation with Manthia Diawara aboard the Queen Mary II in 2009, Édouard Glissant elaborated his definition of Relation, a concept that he formally presented in his book Poétique de la relation in 1990, but that emerged out of years of writing about creolization and cultural action in the Caribbean. Sitting at the ship’s window, with the Atlantic Ocean crashing around him, Glissant explains that “the truth that is increasingly coming to light about Black reality in the New World (...)

    Into the Looking Glass: The Mirror of Old Age in Beauvoir and Améry.Ryan Crawford - 2023 - Journal of French and Francophone Philosophy 30 (2):16-43.
    Although the pandemic's early months were witness to a nearly unprecedented level of public concern for the plight of the old, such attention did not lead to much sustained analysis into either the concrete experience of old age or the many ways in which a greater knowledge of aging might prove instructive for rethinking the possibilities of contemporary philosophy and social change. The present paper seeks to pursue this otherwise neglected line of inquiry by recovering a previously unexplored episode from (...)

    Descension: The Fanon Zone(s).Michael E. Sawyer - 2023 - Journal of French and Francophone Philosophy 30 (2):87-94.
    The two texts that serve as bookends to the writings of Frantz Fanon, Peau noire, masques blancs and Les Damnés de la Terre are often situated as taking up two different elements and approaches to decolonization. The former dismantling the colonized psyche with aggressive deconstruction of the individual and the latter the shattering of the coercive regime of empire. This edition affords us the opportunity to linger with Black Skin, White Masks and to consider its seismic resonance over the last (...)

  8. The Work of Staying-With.Grant Farred - 2023 - Journal of French and Francophone Philosophy 30 (2):111-119.
    There is a breathlessness to Frantz Fanon’s Black Skin, White Masks. Fanon leaves us in no doubt that he is an author with a great deal to say about matters, among which racism, colonialism and the effect of both on the black body and psyche are his preeminent concern, that are politically urgent. As they are. Such is Fanon’s urgency that he uses every resource at his disposal – works of literature that turn on the colonial condition, psychoanalysis (from Freud (...)

    Book Review: Jill Jarvis, Decolonizing Memory: Algeria and the Politics of Testimony (Durham, NC: Duke University Press, 2021). [REVIEW]T. S. Kavitha - 2023 - Journal of French and Francophone Philosophy 30 (2):146-149.
    Jill Jarvis’s book Decolonizing Memory: Algeria and the Politics of Testimony is a promising contribution to the flourishing research being done in the field of Memory Studies, that is challenging the Western and in this case the French politics of testimony from the postcolonial point of view. This book can be read from the larger ethical-political perspective in the field of International Relations, where there is a growing demand for Reconciliation Commissions to address archives beyond the legal framework. The book, (...)

    Returning to the Point of Entanglement: Sexual Difference and Creolization.Ruthanne C. Kim - 2023 - Journal of French and Francophone Philosophy 30 (2):44-65.
    In this essay, I suggest an entangled analysis of sexual difference theory via Luce Irigaray and creolization via Édouard Glissant. I argue that these two distinct discourses share a critical stance against Western sameness and assimilation into a closed metaphysical system. However, each is born of particular historical socio-political struggles that should not be collapsed. I bring them together to demonstrate that their claims are productively entangled and that a critical re-reading of melancholia can unite readers to locate sources of (...)

    Loving with bell, Leaping with Fanon, and Landing Nowhere.M. Shadee Malaklou - 2023 - Journal of French and Francophone Philosophy 30 (2):66-77.
    bell teaches us that love is what makes it possible for life that doesn’t matter—life that doesn’t have access to the timeline of Man (or any timeline)—to matter. She writes, “No matter our place in imperialist, white supremacist, capitalist patriarchal culture, when we do the work of love, we are doing the work of ending domination.” bell calls on us to abandon our (bad) faith in Man’s positivism and progress in favor of another kind of faith: “spiritual awakening.” In what (...)

    Black Skin, White Masks and the Paradoxical Politics of Black Historiography.Tacuma Peters - 2023 - Journal of French and Francophone Philosophy 30 (2):120-127.
    Frantz Fanon’s Black Skin, White Masks has the paradoxical status of being a text that rejects historiography and History as a primary means of facilitating radical political transformation while also being a key point of departure for histories concerning modern colonial and decolonial thought.1 This reflection is an examination of the tensions in Black Skin, White Masks as a political work and as an intervention into philosophical, psychoanalytic, literary, and existential debates. Prompted by the 70th anniversary of the publication of (...)

    Fanon and Hair.Fatima Seck - 2023 - Journal of French and Francophone Philosophy 30 (2):102-110.
    What would it mean to think about Frantz Fanon’s work on race, embodiment, and identity in the context of the contemporary cultural politics of Black hair? Fanon’s Black Skin, White Masks offers us some key terms for deepening our engagement with this issue and, in that continuing relevance, tells us something important about the persistence of the colonial gaze in contemporary life. The discourse around black hair has evolved to mean more than what it meant in the 1960s and 1970s. (...)
