Critical Times 6:3

Contributions to this issue of Critical Times consider the representation of Gandhi by his assassin, Nathuram Godse, and the illegibility of Gandhi's political philosophy for the Hindu right; offer a critical homage to Ranajit Guha and illuminate his unique phenomenology of time; explore B.R. Ambedkar's use of Buddhist philosophy in his challenge to the “permanence of the theologico-political”; and think with concretion—submarine growings-together—as ambivalent agglomerations of matter, history, and animacy that mark and rework imperial presences at the seabed. The issue also features a conversation on the histories of colonialism and anticolonial resistance in a Mapuche and Haitian context, as well as an artistic intervention by choreographer Cecilia Lisa Eliceche reflecting on practices of neocolonial spiritual extractivism.
