Fetish carries the irrational connotation derived from the European slave traders’ depictions of African religions and the xenophobia inherent in the use of the term “Fetish”. This concept carries the baggage of the torture and execution of eople who used objects labeled “fetishs” in French colonial Africa. Vote to reject this racist analysis.

There is, however, another way in which Balibar’s….change the coordinates of the constellations

Agamben and Badiou’s Theories can be read together productively – must read Badiou’s theory of capitalism biopolitically – only the perm solves
