Remember language comes from this. Remember the dance that language is, that life is. Remember to remember. —Joy Harjo, “Remember” I would like to thank my committee for their encouragement and guidance throughout my stay at Washington State University, and through the chaos of living in five states and two countries while working on my dissertation. They have all helped me grow so much—not just as a scholar, but also as a human being. Victor Villanueva has been not only a real friend to me through many of life’s challenges, but has also been instrumental in shaping my understanding of political economy on a global—rather world-systems—scale and how it speaks to ideology and the rhetorics of racism and imperialism. Victor’s course on contemporary rhetoric was exceptional not only because of the rigorous theoretical lens through which he taught the course, but because he also managed to get a bunch of grumpy, sleep-deprived graduate students excited about learning and laughing (and even dancing!) at 9:00 in the morning.

  • Capitalism, "Hybrid Wars" and Confiscated Narratives:The Classico-Postmodernist Imperialism of Our Time Md
    VOL 3, 2012 Capitalism, "Hybrid Wars" and Confiscated Narratives:The Classico-Postmodernist Imperialism of Our Time Md. Manzur Alam East West University Abstract From the classical maxim that "empires are forged by war" to the notion of "hybrid wars", "aestheticization of war," exploitation of nation states, corporatization and commodification, imperialist powers with globalizing missions and mission civilisatrice have always resorted to means that the expansion of capital has sought. Though Hardt and Negri contend that "Empire", their terminology for global imperialism/capitalism, is a phantasmal, autonomous network of power where global flows of people, information, and wealth can hardly be monitored or controlled from a single metropolitan center, the reality is that the discourse and politics of neoliberal hegemony, coupled with unique exercise of power, allow the United States and its cohorts (a few powerful countries and multinational corporations) to dominate "Empire." This paper outlines the nature and modus operandi of this recent classico- postmodernist imperialist power project, one that combines tradition with novelty in its logic of rule, and argues that the "unholy trinity" of capital, US led imperialism and manipulated globalization has reached a climactic, volatile stage since the system it has created is undermining humanitarian values and justice. This paper also argues for a new collective mode of counter-hegemonic thinking needed to counter the kind of injustice and inhumanity spawned by late capitalism. Such resistance,

  • Joy Harjo's Music and Traditional Knowledge
    “Making Songs of the Marrow”: Joy Harjo’s Music and Traditional Knowledge Laura Castor University of Tromsø Abstract: Joy Harjo is a multi-media artist of Mvskoke background whose poetry, song, and instrumentals break with conventional boundaries of form. For Harjo, melding poetry and music allows her to contribute to processes of psychological heal- ing from collective trauma, a reality in Native American experience since European contact. Her song “Equinox” provides a rich opportunity for exploring the various levels at which she interweaves allusions to contested historical events and tradi- tional knowledge with poetic imagery. In “Equinox,” Harjo’s combined poetry and music encourage larger processes of cultural healing that, at the same time, reinforce the need for continued advocacy. Key words: Native American poets—Literature and music—Mental decolonization— Collective trauma—Healing trauma—Music therapy—Traditional knowledge—Cul- tural revitalization—Globalization And in such a world of conflict, a world of victims and executioners, it is the job of think- ing people, as Albert Camus suggested, not to be on the side of the executioners. —Howard Zinn1 1 Zinn, 2005, A People’s History of the United States, 10. 52 American Studies in Scandinavia, 44:2 In the opening lines of the Mvskoke artist Joy Harjo’s song “Equinox,” the narrator evokes an image of the ongoing trauma kept in motion by the legacy of conquest of Native North America: “I must keep from breaking into the story by force,” she begins, “for if I do I will find myself with a war club in my hand/and the smoke of grief staggering toward the sun/ your nation dead beside you.” 2 (Harjo 2002, 184).

After the English beat the Spanish at sea, and complete the First Industrial Revolution, it establishes the country as the greatest imperialistic power in the world. The need of labor, raw material, and new market leads them to develop colonies in remote areas like the Caribbean.

  • CAPITAL from Through FRI
    HISTORICAL MATERIALISM 2013 Presents CONFRONTING CAPITAL From Through FRI. th SUN. th APRIL26 APRIL28 NEW YORK UNIVERSITY 31 WASHINGTON PLACE Silver Center CONFRONTING CAPITAL Welcome to critical investigations into the present moment quickly reveal that the current crisis of capitalism shows no sign of abating. The failure of austerity to restore growth has sent ruling class politicians scrambling, as the assault of capital on all fronts of life— ecological, economic and social—grows exponentially. HISTORICAL This is not without resistance however. From the ongoing Arab revolution, to Occupy and Greece, confrontations of capital and regimes of power continue to proliferate, push forth new political horizons and sustain influence on a global scale. HMNY 2013 is an intervention into the present to provide a theoretical MATERIALISM space for debate and discussion, urgently needed on the left at this juncture. Moments like this are especially fertile for new looks at old debates, from the history of capitalism to new modes of resistance. HMNY 2013 will be a venue where figures representing the breadth of current leftist thought will convene to exchange ideas. NYC 2013 Historical Materialism (HM) is one the foremost journals of Marxian theory. HM’s London-based conferences have long drawn hundreds of scholars from around the world. Since 2006, North American HM conferences have been organized in Toronto and New York City (which will now alternate with bi-annual Spring conferences). HMNY 2013 will begin with an opening plenary on the evening of Friday April 26th, and will continue April 27th-28th at New York University in downtown Manhattan.
