On the borders of anonymity and superfluous invisibility

Lewis Gordon

Brown University, USA

This article examines quantitative and temporal borders and their impact on dynamics of black invisibility and indigenous invisibility under global capitalism. The connection between invisibility and skewed anonymity in racist constructions of social reality is established through a social phenomenological portrait of the hegemony of Americanism in this stage of postmodernity and capitalism.

Key Words: anonymity • anti-black racism • bad faith • colonialism • conquest • epistemic closure • indigenous • nation state • quantitative borders • sociality • temporal borders
