The article contributes to the understanding of how societal conflict, aggression, and racism are intertwined with the concepts of the body and necropolitics. Achille Mbembe's exploration of historical conflicts refers to the way in which states and other necropolitical entities exert control over life and death. Persistent conflicts reflect a form of necropolitics in which certain groups are subjected to violence and death as a means of maintaining power. Frank B. Wilderson III's analysis of aggression towards Black individuals reveals how the body, particularly the Black body, is subjected to policing and violence. This speaks to the concept of necropolitics as it highlights how certain bodies are deemed expendable or "killable" in society, and how the policing of Blackness can be seen as a form of controlling and subjugating these bodies. The rationalization of racist acts against meticulously selected groups and bodies that are highly racialized in contemporary necrocapitalism illustrates how the politics of death and violence are used to maintain class and racist hierarchies and control over different bodies.

In the article, the author addresses with two ways of dealing with life, biopolitics, and necropolitics, and connects them to the excess of power over life and death in the era of neoliberal global capitalism. Dealing with necropolitical processes requires a different analysis of spaces and temporalities, of necrospaces and necrotemporalities. It also requires consideration of the possibilities of resistance to necropolitical processes by those who are by no means silent witnesses, by no means mere victims, but subjects who have undergone a process of (de)subjectivation in a way that, as Achille Mbembe would argue, leads to a process of destruction of their own subjectivity.

Necropolitics by Achille Mbembe takes us back to his seminal text on "Necropolitics" translated and published in the US in 2003. At this point, 40 years after Foucault's Biopolitics, Mbembe was re-theorizing biopolitics through a necro (death) horizon, which turned out to be a robust conceptual shift from Western thought. Not much else is explicitly said about necropolitics in the titular book, which comes 17 years after the seminal text that had a significant impact on the theory and practice of philosophy, politics, anthropology, and esthetics. Mbembe presents the layers of forms, modes, and procedures of the necropolitical working through contemporary neoliberal global societies. It is therefore not surprising that Mbembe makes reference to theory in forms, form is the way to redefine or rephrase content, and "who should live and who must die" is currently the beginning. But how this is done in the 21st century, what are the methods and procedures to implement this central act in neoliberal global democracy —that is the task of this book. ; Nekropolitika Achilla Mbembeja nas vodi nazaj k njegovemu temeljnemu istoimenskemu besedilu, ki je v angleškem prevodu v Združenih Državah Amerike izšlo leta 2003. Takrat, torej štirideset let po Foucaultovi biopolitiki, je Mbembe na novo teoretiziral biopolitiko z vidika smrti (nekro), kar se je izkazalo za močan konceptualni odmik od zahodne misli. V knjigi, ki z enakim naslovom izide 17 let po izvornem besedilu, ki je pomembno vplivalo na teorijo in prakso filozofije, politike, antropologije, estetike, o nekropolitiki ni izrecno kaj več povedanega. Mbembe predstavi neizčrpno zalogo oblik, načinov in postopkov nekropolitičnega delovanja v sodobnih neoliberalnih globalnih družbah. Zato ni presenetljivo, da se Mbembe sklicuje na teorijo kot obliko, oblika je način, kako na novo definirati vsebino, ali rečeno drugače, »kdo naj živi in kdo mora umreti«, je trenutno le začetek. Pa vendar, kako to poteka v 21. stoletju, kakšne so metodologije in postopki za izvajanje tega osrednjega akta v neoliberalni globalni demokraciji – to je naloga te knjige.

The main thesis of this text is that for a critical evaluation of the institutions built on the foundations of colonialism that preserve the worlds of neoliberal global capitalism, financial capitalism, and necro-capitalism, we need to rethink the two main divisions mediated by decolonial theory and decolonisation as analytical tools: the racial/colonial divide and the imperial/colonial divide. This text attempts to analyse the relation between capitalism and colonialism in order to determine the implications for the theoretical and philosophical thought of two historical forms of capitalism, which are not historical at all because they are fully functional in the present: racial capitalism and settler capitalism, or racial-settler capitalism, as it is called in its joint formation. In order to get to this point, we must first see the place of colonialism in capitalism and how theory is reflected in its relationship to the past and present. Last but not least, the question this article is occupied with is: "What kind of world is this where a trans person, a woman, or a man is treated like garbage?"

In this era of global neoliberal necro-capitalism, we are increasingly faced with a political and social amnesia that yields results without the past producing more and more processes of dehistorization and depoliticization. In these processes is fundamental the logic of repetition (neoliberal), which produces at least two different procedures of (de) historicization. On the one hand, we have the logic of the Western neoliberal world, which functions as a mere transhistorical machine; On the other hand, in the eastern and southern regions of Europe we detect forced techniques to accept historicization as totalization. In both cases, the result is a suspension of the history whose primary intention is to discard any alternative it contains. Gržinić's idea is to offer some examples and, even more, try to define these processes on a much broader scale, in order to see their political, social and cultural consequences.

In the essay the authoress examines the terms »presence« and its counterpart »absence« and approaches these binary terms within the discursive contexts and representational systems of the 19th and 20th century. To grasp the »politics of representation« of presence/absence she relates it to the discursive contexts and representational systems of two illnesses: hysteria and AIDS, each of these representing the illness par excellence of a specific century. In her view these illnesses function not only in relation to the duality of presence and absence, but also through specific ways of representational politics. ; Avtorica analizira v članku izraza »prisotnost« in »odsotnost«. Analizo tega binarnega para umesti v diskurzivne okvire in reprezentacijske sisteme devetnajstega in dvajsetega stoletja. Da bi bolje dojeli »politiko reprezentacije« prisotnosti in odsotnosti, le-to poveže z diskurzivnimi okviri in reprezentacijskimi sistemi dveh bolezni, emblematičnih za devetnajsto in dvajseto stoletje, s histerijo in z AIDSom. Po avtoričinem mnenju histerija in AIDS nista samo v tesni povezavi z dvojico prisotnost/odsotnost, temveč tudi s politiko reprezentacije.

The conversation with Jill H. Casid and Anna Campbell is a reconceptualization of several themes to develop an aesthetic that incorporates notions of the necropolitical and redefines the concept of the Anthropocene as the Necrocene. The Necrocene implies an era marked by death, decay, and the consequences of human impact on the environment, as well as a critical reflection on the choices individuals and societies make that contribute to the transition from the Anthropocene to the Necrocene. These reflections serve as cautionary tales or reflections on the unsustainable path of the Anthropocene. An important reflection in the interview is how queer and transgender people are using art and assemblages to refuse the terms of the current tensions of the culture wars.

Since it beginnings in the nineteen-seventies, the medium of video has been closely linked to the subcultural and countercultural movements of its time, both in art and in everyday culture in Germany. Art and music videos in particular demonstrate great subversive potential: artists and musicians oppose traditional values, transgress and repeatedly explore social norms and gender stereotypes. In this volume, queer academic as well as artistic research approaches and archival practices are reviewed in the context of a history of punk and its offshoots.
