The colloquium, too, was just a beginning for the never-ending, always rewarding work of returning to your incisive, field-shaping first text! We are beyond moved that the text’s treatment, to evoke Jared in another forthcoming work, gave back to you some of what it has given us.

Without a doubt, the strength of the first day reflects the generosity of the text it was honouring! Looking forward to two more days of discussion!

One of the the many sharp interventions offered by @hystericalblkns.bsky.social is the Corregidora Complex—a (post-)slavery psychic formation structured through the violent foreclosure of an incest taboo. Discuss this and more elements of Monstrous Intimacies from June 22nd to 24th.

In Monstrous Intimacies, @hystericalblkns.bsky.social surfaces the inextricability of the desire for freedom from the desire for slavery, outlining their mutual intrication in the antiblack project of nation building. Come join us in Toronto this summer to discuss this and other insights!

Monstrous Intimacies at 15 promotional poster sharing the quotation: “The nation that re-creates oppression as freedom for some bodies… discursively re-creates itself as free.” The poster also includes the conference dates: June 22nd - 24th and location: Toronto, Ontario. This text is placed on the zoomed in picture of an inkwell from an art piece by Boz Deseo Garden.

In Monstrous Intimacies, @hystericalblkns.bsky.social mobilizes psychoanalysis as a method to analyze slavery’s psychic, cultural, and material hold on the present. Join us in Toronto from June 22nd to 24th to discuss this and other insights from her monumental text.

Poster image for Monstrous Intimacies at 15 with a quotation from the book that reads “It is a statement that would be true historically as well as psychoanalytically: one cannot cleanse one’s fantasies of the other, of slavery.” The text is placed underneath a photo of a set of white Christmas reindeer decorations from an art installation by Boz Deseo Garden.
