The concept of unlivability: A reading of Frantz Fanon's "The North African Syndrome" (1952).
From a close reading of Frantz Fanon's "The North African Syndrome" (1952), this article draws out Fanon's understanding of "death in life" to suggest that a concept of unlivability in the present must account for the temporal duration of racialized and colonized experiences of pain and trauma.

It is thus critical of Judith Butler's and Frédéric Worms's discussion of unlivability in The Livable and The Unlivable (2023) for not centering a phenomenological study of the testimonies of the oppressed. I argue for a greater engagement with Fanon on the longue durée of racial and colonial violence enacted on the bodies, psyches, and histories of racialized and colonized peoples. This article concludes by pointing to possibilities for a shared unlivability in a shared temporality, with potential to move beyond refusal and toward resistance to the colonial control over time. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Southern Journal of Philosophy is the property of Wiley-Blackwell and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
