Culp Memorial Lecture: The Zombie Jamboree(c) (c) Anthony Paul Farley 2007. NAME: Anthony Paul Farley* BIO: * James Campbell Matthews Distinguished Professor of Jurisprudence at Albany Law School and Haywood Burns Chair in Civil Rights at CUNY School of Law during 2006-2007. It was an honor and a joy to give the Third Annual Jerome M. Culp Memorial Lecture at LatCrit XII: Critical Localities at Florida International University School of Law. Jerome was dedicated to Critical Race Theory and to LatCrit. Lat- Crit has sustained critical race theories and critical race theorists for twelve years now. No one knows what will happen tomorrow, but our vitality, our ability to face tomorrow, as intellectual movements and as individual thinkers, must surely have something to do with the way we remember those whose past efforts made today possible. Although what follows is the text on which I based my lecture, please think of it as a line of flight and a point of departure. I departed from it quite freely in Miami. This essay, Zombie Jamboree, is a memorial meant for singing and for flight and for departures: We have been naught, we shall be all. Thanks to all my colleagues at Albany Law School. Thanks to all my colleagues at CUNY School of Law, 2006-2007. Thanks to Keith Aoki, Steve Bender, Christopher Carbot, Bob Chang, Angela Harris, Charles Pouncy, Frank Valdes, and everyone else involved in LatCrit XII.

It is bitterly ironic that on the two hundredth anniver­ sary of the American revolution the men in black robes sanctioned a practice that has more in common with the Dark Ages than the ideals of the revolutionaries of 1776.

It is an honor and a joy to give the Third Annual Jerome M. Culp Lec- ture at Critical Localities: LatCrit XII. This memorial lecture is an honor because LatCrit has been the major gathering of critical and postmodern theorists for many years. This is the twelfth gathering of our varied discip- lines. This memorial lecture is a joy because memory requires working- through, and the material to be worked through, Jerome’s body of work and the nature of our collective relationship to it, being both complicated and widely-scattered across our numberless concerns and methods and hopes, is so very much alive.
