What would it be for this dra\u00adma to be unders\u00adtood in its own terms, from its own stand\u00adpoint, on its own ground ? This is not sim\u00adply a ques\u00adtion of pers\u00adpec\u00adtive awai\u00adting its unas\u00adking, since what we speak of is this radi\u00adcal being beside itself of bla\u00adck\u00adness, its appo\u00adsi\u00adtio\u00adna\u00adli\u00adty. The stand\u00adpoint, the home ter\u00adri\u00adto\u00adry, chez lui\u2014Charles Lam Markmann\u2019s insight\u00adful mis\u00adtrans\u00adla\u00adtion of Fanon illu\u00admi\u00adnates some\u00adthing that Richard Philcox obs\u00adcures by way of cor\u00adrec\u00adtion, Among one\u2019s own, signi\u00adfies a rela\u00adtio\u00adna\u00adli\u00adty that dis\u00adplaces the alrea\u00addy dis\u00adpla\u00adced impos\u00adsi\u00adbi\u00adli\u00adty of home and the modes of rela\u00adtio\u00adna\u00adli\u00adty that home is sup\u00adpo\u00adsed to afford (Fanon 1967). Can this sha\u00adring of a life in home\u00adless\u00adness, this inter\u00adplay of the refu\u00adsal of what has been refu\u00adsed and consent, this under\u00adcom\u00admon appo\u00adsi\u00adtio\u00adna\u00adli\u00adty, be a place from which to know, a place out of which emerges nei\u00adther self-conscious\u00adness nor know\u00adledge of the other but an impro\u00advi\u00adsa\u00adtion that pro\u00adceeds from somew\u00adhere on the other side of an unas\u00adked ques\u00adtion ? But not sim\u00adply to be among one\u2019s own ; rather, also, to live among one\u2019s own in dis\u00adpos\u00adses\u00adsion, to live among the ones who can\u00adnot own, the ones who have nothing and who, in having nothing, have eve\u00adry\u00adthing. To live, in other words, within the gene\u00adral com\u00admon\u00adness and open\u00adness of a life in Deleuze\u2019s sense (hence the neces\u00adsi\u00adty of a phi\u00adlo\u00adso\u00adphy of life ; hence the neces\u00adsi\u00adty but also the rigor of a dis\u00adbe\u00adlief in social death, where social death is pre\u00adci\u00adse\u00adly unders\u00adtood as the impo\u00adsi\u00adtion of the subject\u2019s neces\u00adsi\u00adty rather than the refu\u00adsal of the subject\u2019s pos\u00adsi\u00adbi\u00adli\u00adty, which, in any case, the impo\u00adsi\u00adtion founds and enforces. At stake is the curve, the sup\u00adple\u00adness and subt\u00adle\u00adty, not only of contem\u00adpla\u00adtion on social life but of contem\u00adpla\u00adtive social life ; at stake is the force of an extra\u00adphe\u00adno\u00adme\u00adno\u00adlo\u00adgi\u00adcal poe\u00adtics of social life. And so we arrive, again and again, at a pro\u00adfound impulse in Fanon that\u2014as Chandler indi\u00adcates in his rea\u00adding, which is the ini\u00adtial rea\u00adding, of Du Bois\u2014constitutes Du Bois\u2019s hori\u00adzon and which appears in the various forms of that ques\u00adtion whose neces\u00adsi\u00adty is so fun\u00adda\u00admen\u00adtal that it must be unasked\u2014the ques\u00adtion of the mea\u00adning of (black) being, the ques\u00adtion of the mea\u00adning of (black) things. We stu\u00addy in the sound of an unas\u00adked ques\u00adtion. Our stu\u00addy is the sound of an unas\u00adked ques\u00adtion. We stu\u00addy the sound of an unas\u00adked ques\u00adtion. In the absence of the ame\u00adni\u00adty (some plea\u00adsant\u00adness or plea\u00adsan\u00adtry of wel\u00adcome or mate\u00adrial com\u00adfort), what is borne in the emp\u00adti\u00adness or nothin\u00adgness of the ame\u00adni\u00adty (of which love or soul is born, in exhaus\u00adtion, as a socie\u00adty of friends), what are the other ele\u00adments of mu ?
