Abstract

The fifth chapter critically reconsiders the Heideggerian and phenomenological definition of subjectivity and the Western intellectual and religious tradition, which promotes hierarchization and underlies racist discourses (more or less directly). This logic is based on toxic forms of grasping that lead to domination, characterized by the desire for exactitude, the proper, and domination. This chapter provides an analysis of these three traits of desire, based on the author’s personal experience with a specific hierarchy. Through tracing Derrida’s reading of negative theology, the chapter shows that, rather than allowing for purification, exactitude, and domination, the graspable and the ungraspable are interlaced. The concept of interlacement is connected to Indigenous conceptions of interconnectedness (such as Sila and entanglement) that undermine the purification of the distinction between the human and the non-human, the living and the non-living. The chapter also rethinks the question of anthropocentrism.
