It all looks awful in Brazil today. A scary articulation of corrupt politicians, class-driven judiciary and big capital is getting close to produce a coup d'état showing how colonized the South of the world still is. It is still as submissive and obedient as in the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s of last century. As a consequence, nothing good could come out of a coup. It will be only few months for concentration of wealth to be worsening by the hour just like in the last similar episode around here, that took place almost precisely 52 years ago. Plus, social conservatism will make sure this nation carries on being trans-cite, white supremacist and as male chauvinist as a country could possibly be. In other words, it will just bring about injustice. It makes me feel like going underground. (And it is, certainly, all about oil.)
Memory Assemblages is out at Bloomsbury This is the book I wrote during most of 22 and 23. It proposes a spectral realism based on the idea that archives are ubiquitous - I call this pan-mnemism. It offers a conception of how memory related deeply with persistent addition of new events, thoughts and circumstances and this addends concoct varying assemblages of what is retained and what brings this archives to the fore. It also rejects the idea that there is an archeology to the archive - or an ontology to hauntology. Even if it boils down merely to postulate traces or forms. I have neglected this blog for a while and I don't expect myself to be very much back to it soon. But I will talk about the book in my youtube channel, in an English language playlist called "On Memory Assemblages" .
