Cristina Visperas - Skin Theory: Visual Culture and the Postwar Prison Laboratory
“On Violence: Fall 2024 Experimental Study Sequence”
Cristina Visperas, Skin Theory: Visual Culture and the Postwar Prison Laboratory (NYU Press, 2022)
Building on her background in molecular and cellular biology, Cristina Mejia Visperas examines the politics and cultural histories of the life sciences, with a focus on race and state violence. Her book, Skin Theory: Visual Culture and the Postwar Prison Laboratory (NYU Press, 2022), is an abolitionist study of postwar medical science research conducted in prisons and the emergence of modern American bioethics.

Join us for a sequence of live online conversations with authors of key texts addressing violence, empire, liberation, solidarity, abolition, and the problem of “Man”/human. These short (60-80 minute) sessions will be led by students of MCS 201 (Racial-Colonial [State] Violence) at UC Riverside, taught by Prof. Dylan Rodríguez. Online participants will have opportunities to engage with authors during the sessions, to whatever extent time permits. This is an experiment. We hope you will read the authors’ work prior to each study meeting, but as importantly, we aspire to cultivate a sense of intellectual collaboration, curiosity, and activated thought. Participation is free and open to the public.

    Heterosexual women are the majority, they should fight for themselves. Also heterosexual woman are the oppressors of lesbians so no, y'all need to prove yourselves as allies not us lesbians. Lesbians are homosexual, we don't reject our attraction to men, we don't have any. The truth is heterosexual woman are lazy feminist and won't do much to fight for their cause.

    Seeing billionaires like Michael Jordan, Dr. Dre, and Oprah do practically nothing to help the black community is proof that being part of an under-represented racial group doesn't mean you will care about them. Jordan makes $200 million a year representing a global sweatshop exploiting people of color, and he is barely mentioned, much less criticized.

    **All Muslim Empire that Ruled Over Jerusalem were Colonialists who oversaw and enforced apartheid regimes** The Islamic conquest, colonization, and the systematic appropriation of Jewish holy sites underscore the complexities of history, often glossed over in mainstream narratives. Jerusalem's history is a rich and complex tapestry, with threads spanning centuries. Islamic empires governed the ancient city for 1,283 years, Jewish kings and leaders for 1,197 years, and Christian rulers during the Roman and Byzantine empires for 410 years. Throughout this long history, there has been no period of Palestinian governance. However, the Mamluks are the most interesting, given today's context. You see, the Mamluks are not Arabs and started out as slaves from Europe. They eventually managed to defeat their Ayyubids masters and went on to build a lasting empire that controlled Jerusalem for three centuries. The Mamluk's history profoundly challenges the perspectives of many pro-Palestinian advocates in two ways. A. This formidable group, which once held sway over Jerusalem, did not originate from the Levant. They hailed from distant lands across Europe-from the rugged terrains of the Caucasus to the expansive steppes of Central Asia and the diverse cultures of Eastern Europe-these young captives were captured or bought in slave markets, they were transported to the Mamluk Sultanate, converted to Islam, and trained as elite soldiers. B. The Mamluk period also challenges the notion of peaceful co-existence under Islamic rulers and the origins of many muslims in the levant region **The reality is only a small percentage of the Palestinians population are indigenous peoples of the Levant, the vast majority are from various groups that have migrated to or through the region over centuries, including during the Ottoman period. Literally they are a huge mix of Kurdish, Iraqis, North Africa, European (Yes, there are blond blue-eyed Palestinians), Arabs from Saudi Arabia, and Caucasian region.** Yes, many Palestinians are former European Slaves who were taken from their families in Europe and forced to convert to Islam. The "concept" of Palestinian people's being natives is patently false. Within the group of people that are now called Palestinians. There are many groups not related to each other at all due to the facts Jerusalem has exchanged hands so many times from empires that are not native to the land. The last 1,400 years have seen periods of Islamic rule, often marked by the relegation of Jews to dhimmi status. Despite this, the Jewish connection to their ancestral land remained unbroken, challenging narratives that paint them as modern-day colonists. The appropriation of Jewish holy sites and the enduring struggle for religious freedom under various rulers reflect the region's tumultuous past. Yet, the historical governance reveals Jews as natives, deeply intertwined with the land's fabric, not as colonial interlopers. It's time to revisit these narratives and recognize the indigenous Jewish presence in the region. Ignoring the historical facts of conquest and appropriation only fuels misinformation and division. Let's embrace the full spectrum of this history, acknowledging the deep roots of Jews in Jerusalem and challenging the misconceptions that undermine their indigenous status. #Indigenous #Truth th-cam.com/video/7GCXhKpoml0/w-d-xo.html…
