style="font-size: 14px;">As a formation of power and
government that subjects subaltern populations to premature
death, necropolitics operates through displacing and
disaffiliating these populations from social networks and
community bonds, or through what Orlando Patterson has called
‘social death’. This conversation invites four authors to
scrutinize the necropolitics of social death through
decolonial, feminist, queer and trans perspectives. Drawing on
recently published monographs, they will discuss how social
death forms part of current projects of remaking the social -
as well as how it is contested through resistant practices of
solidarity, commoning and care.</b></p>
