Issue 35-3/ABOLITION

21 Mar 2012, Posted in Blog, 0 Comments

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS On the horizon of feminist struggle, what does abolition mean as a radical rhetorical position and as a material goal or praxis? Departing from communization theory’s call to abolish gender (along with class) as a necessary measure of destroying the capitalist class relation, how does the figure of abolition — a word perhaps most often used today to advance the abolition of prisons, and before that, slavery, and enduringly, colonialism — restructure the struggle and praxis of feminisms?

Seeking critical responses to the “Occupy movement” from indigenous, radical and/or anticapitalist perspectives

12 Oct 2011, Posted in Blog, 0 Comments

FUSE is seeking visual and/or written critical responses to the racism of the “Occupy movement” (we’re especially but not exclusively focusing on the ways that language of “occupation” obscures the fact that North America is built on stolen land). If you or your colleagues are writing about this and can get us a draft of a 1,000-2,000 word text in the next week for publication in our December issue (final copy due November 7), please get in touch ASAP and let me know what you’ve got on deck. Write to editor AT fusemagazine DOT org and put OCCUPY in the subject heading.

Burn the Archives 01: Lee Maracle

14 Jul 2011, Posted in Blog, News, 0 Comments

I’m drawn to this short piece by Lee Maracle from 1992 because it highlights some of the key criticisms of the term postcolonial. Perhaps the most problematic implications of the term itself stem from the fact that it implies colonization is a…
