Sobre IBD

Terrorism is usually regarded as the enemy of globalization and capitalism. However this analysis completely misses the point as terrorism is precisely what allows globalization to exist: by ensuring that the fantasy of total exchangeability is never fulfilled, terrorism sustains the logic of capital itself. Reflections on (T)error is a meditation on the problems of confining the thinking of terrorism within the logic of exchange. This logic keeps us in the cycle of exchangeability: we remain within the game of surplus value and one-upsmanship; human lives are the very stake with which this game is played. It is only through looking at terror as such - as a singularity - that this cycle might be avoided; not by opposition nor by distancing oneself from it, but rather by complete immersion in terror itself. This book seeks to respond to the need to reconstitute the question of terrorism from a philosophical standpoint. It is addressed to researchers that think the realms of terrorism, post-structural philosophy and media philosophy.

He had a striking appearance and manner of teaching, and his teaching proved to be very in...

    Jeremy Fernando
    This collection is an overt rejection of the maxim everything is political as one that reduces both things and politics to each other. Rather, it attempts to meditate on the possibilities of both things and poli through meanderings into various forms, including essays, creative-critical pieces, prose-poems, and thinking-fictions: and it posits that these possibilities appear to...

    So yes, this were a necessary piece for me to write. Not to take control of the narrative: for, I neither believe in there being only one version of any story, despite what dictators would prefer; nor in control, another fiction people who give themselves titles aplenty like to hold on to. But in order to respond to violence with art. With all the risks of being accused - ah, h...

    i’m not ghosting you is a bricolage of poetry, prose, and photography that attempts to explore the notion of ghosts in our lives in its various permutations, some of which manifest more clearly (when someone ghosts you by disappearing from your life) and others much less so (how even when someone has ghosted you, their ghosts remain to haunt you, often in ways that you might no...

  • the feather of Ma’at
    Jeremy Fernando
    This text attempts to address the question, ’what is the weight of a painting?’ A question that came to me not quite as a question, but as a musing. From a painter nonetheless. And perhaps more significantly, from Ng Joon Kiat, a painter who has long been questioning painting, and not just through the question of ’what is a painting’, that is the materiality of what is added to...
