This reflection on Ren Ellys Neyra's The Cry of the Senses: Listening to Latinx and Caribbean Poetics (2020) engages their reading of Beatriz Santiago Muñoz's cinema, paying particular attention to sensorial actualities that offer apprehension of the past of colonial violence that is the present. It focuses in particular on Santiago Muñoz's Otros Usos (2014), which specifically explores Vieques, Puerto Rico. To apprehend the past that is the present requires indexing the continuity of the plantation economy, and thus its racial order, in the military complex, in the tourist economy, and in the current rounds of colonial settlement through tax haven conditions in the realm of real estate. The essay shifts the language of anticolonial sensorial errancy to decolonial sensorial errancy to focus on the forms of "slow violence" of economic invasion/ control, the productivity of which presses us to attend to the forms of insidious, ubiquitous racial violence they represent.

Abstract
The essays translated in this cluster explore the work of debt, blame, and responsibility in the continuation of and resistance to colonial life in contemporary Puerto Rico. In the colony of Puerto Rico, debt represents the continuation of the colonial condition—Puerto Rico's status as an unincorporated territory of the United States. Ariadna Michelle Godreau-Aubert, Vanesa Contreras Capó, Anayra Santory Jorge, and Eva Prados Rodríguez show furthermore how debt actualizes a racial and gender order that exceeds colonialism as a juridical-political predicament. Their essays track forms of resistance to the work of debt.

Abstract
In July 2019, almost two weeks of protest led to the ousting of Puerto Rico's Governor Ricardo "Ricky" Rosselló. The diversity and creativity of the protests were nationally and internationally celebrated. Asambleas de pueblo, people's assemblies, continued political participation beyond the protests. This article attends to a feature of the protests that has yet to be explored. Throughout the protests, checklists appeared on signs, on walls in Old San Juan, and on Facebook and Twitter. These index a modality of power explicit in the protests and in reserve in the asambleas. The checklists, I suggest, record the power of removal that established the protests as successful irrespective of the institutional impact that Rosselló's resignation purportedly had on the indebted colony. The checklists inscribe the ongoing task of interruption, to the point of removal, that seeks to render coloniality inoperative in the everyday.

En Deudas coloniales: el caso de Puerto Rico, Rocío Zambrana ofrece una robusta conversación con pensadorxs, creadorxs y activistas de Puerto Rico y el Sur Global, así como con algunxs de lxs observadorxs más conocidxs en el contexto europeo y norteamericano, en torno a la deuda como forma y práctica de captura, sujeción, control y desposesión que profundiza y expande el alcance de la modernidad capitalista colonial. Al mismo tiempo, Zambrana insiste, el caso particular de Puerto Rico demuestra que, para lograr lo anterior, el capitalismo requiere la continua "actualización" de la condición colonial como orden racista, no sólo como subordinación jurídico-política, en "condiciones materiales e históricas alteradas." La deuda financiera en la colonia, entonces, es una "manifestación de la deuda histórica" de la conquista y la esclavitud, fungiendo así como agente del régimen de raza/género/clase que "la colonialidad del poder" (el concepto es de Aníbal Quijano) perpetúa en el presente a través de nuevas rondas de invasión, saqueo y explotación. No obstante, Puerto Rico también ejemplifica, plantea la autora, formas esperanzadoras de "organizar el pesimismo," que pueden advertirse en variadas prácticas de resistencia, tales como el rehusarse, la subversión y el rescate/ocupación. Éstas interrumpen la sujeción de la deuda, tanto financiera como histórica, pese a los inherentes desafíos de la cooptación neoliberal. Así sea con gestos que parecen inconsecuentes o temporeros, nuestras resistencias constituyen modos descoloniales y reparadores de "vincular la vida." Con la publicación de esta traducción de Raquel Salas Rivera al español, nuestras series Otra universidad y Libros libres continúan aportando saberes a las luchas por el archipiélago liberado al que aspiramos y que forjamos, día con día, en cada una de nuestras subversiones. --- In Deudas coloniales: el caso de Puerto Rico, Rocío Zambrana offers a robust conversation with thinkers, creators, and activists in Puerto Rico and the Global South, as well as with some of the most well-known analysts in European and North American contexts, on debt as a form and a practice of capture, subjection, control, and dispossession that deepens and expands the reach of colonial capitalist modernity. To achieve this, as Zambrana shows through her analysis of Puerto Rico's particular case, capitalism requires the colonial condition's constant "updating" as a racist order, and not only as a juridical-political subordination, in "altered material and historical conditions." Financial debt in the colony, then, is a "manifestation of the historical debt" from conquest and slavery, thus operating as an agent of the race/gender/class regime that Aníbal Quijano's "coloniality of power" perpetuates in the present through new sequences of invasion, plunder, and exploitation. However, the author argues that Puerto Rico also exemplifies hopeful forms of "organizing pessimism," which can be noticed in various resistance practices, such as refusal, subversion, and rescue/occupation. These interrupt the subjection of both financial and historical debt, despite the inherent challenges associated with neoliberal cooptation. Even when its gestures might seem inconsequential or temporary, our resistance constitutes decolonial and reparative modes of "life binding." With the publication of this translation into Spanish by Raquel Salas Rivera, our series Otra Universidad and Libros Libres continues contributing to the struggles for the liberated archipelago we aspire to and craft, every day, in all our subversions.
