The Economy of Damnation: St. Anselm, Nietzsche, Deleuze, and Saidiya Hartman with Sean Capener
Description
Acid Horizon continue their conversation with the folks over at Mimbres School by sitting down with Sean Capener, who'll be teaching their "History of Damnation" course. We read Sean's "On the Fall of the Angels: Economic Theology After the Middle Passage". In this paper, Sean shows how St Anselm's Christian theories about the economy of salvation and Man's debt to God can inform a critical view towards our own narratives about debt and credit under racial capitalism through the mediation of figures in contemporary Black Studies such as Saidiya Hartman and Fred Moten.

I met Jack at local bar, and he promised to join me one day to do an explainer on Bergson's 'Matter and Memory'. A few beers later (over several months), here we are! Apologies for the rough interviewer audio; fortunately you can hear Jack loud and clear!
