#blackhumanism — Public Fediverse posts

Finished Because Internet: Understanding the New Rules of Language by @gretchenmcc this morning & loved it, esp the "#ThirdSpace" framing. Reminds me of Anthony Pinn's #BlackHumanism work on secular sacred space, using that example of a coffee shop. That connected his discussion of time-space disruption in community, & also resonates with the notion of #AporeticFlow that I take from Monica R Miller (a once protégé who stretches & breaks his work in many ways on her own). #linguistics #bookstodon

This article from Dr. Anthony B Pinn is SO GOOD. "Is It Time to Talk About Reparations?
Humanism Beyond Inclusion"

" [M]aybe we are at a point in our humanist history when we need the challenge and guiding logic of an abolition humanist manifesto offering accountability that goes deeper than a commitment to inclusion expressed through a decontextualized rehearsal of humanist ethical values."

🧵 quotes

@Sean1966 I mean, sociologically, anthropologically, and psychologically, I don't think "weakness" is even properly how that works. I agree, though, that it is the philosophical weakness of Western thought that continually searches, even scientifically (see #Enlightenment) for #extrahuman sources of affectivity. Here, #SylviaWynter is helpful, as is #SaraAhmed's work on #QueerPhenomonology, and Anthony B Pinn's work on #BlackHumanism.
