Human Rights or Human Wrongs
The line between what is an acceptable and moral practice is continually blurred, and may soon be nonexistent. In our "me first" society, it is expected that we can do whatever we want, whenever we want, with our bodies because, after all, they are our bodies and no one can tell us what we can or can't do. And so science marches along. Science can be a great thing, and miracles happen every day in the field of science. But just because we can do something doesn't mean we should do it.
'History’s Pulse Measured with Another Hand': Precarity Archives and Translocal Citizen Witness in Dionne Brand’s Inventory
Dionne Brand’s long poem Inventory (2006) calls for recognition of intersecting sites of embodied vulnerability within the state security regimes that render Arab bodies as collateral damage and the deportation regimes that produce undocumented workers, refugees, and asylum seekers as ‘the citizen’s other.’ Brand’s central strategy is the creation of juxtaposed precarity archives of disregarded bodies subject to violent death in Iraqi war zones and in transnational deportation zones. Foregrounding the meditated witness to international atrocities, Brand constructs a tenuous position of ethical accounting through four related strategies: creation of a post-identitarian yet embodied poetic subjectivity; interrogation of distanced witness passivity through the stance of translocal citizenship; mapping cross connections between zones of precarization; and producing affective intimacy based in the material vulnerability of the body as the foci for ‘ethically oppositional mourning’ (Spargo).
Good elementary education
