Habeas Viscus focuses attention on the centrality of race to notions of the human. Alexander G. Weheliye develops a theory of "racializing assemblages," taking race as a set of sociopolitical processes that discipline humanity into full humans, not-quite-humans, and nonhumans. This disciplining, while not biological per se, frequently depends on anchoring political hierarchies in human flesh. The work of the black feminist scholars Hortense Spillers and Sylvia Wynter is vital to Weheliye's argument. Particularly significant are their contributions to the intellectual project of black studies vis-à-vis racialization and the category of the human in western modernity. Wynter and Spillers configure black studies as an endeavor to disrupt the governing conception of humanity as synonymous with white, western man. Weheliye posits black feminist theories of modern humanity as useful correctives to the "bare life and biopolitics discourse" exemplified by the works of Giorgio Agamben and Michel Foucault, which, Weheliye contends, vastly underestimate the conceptual and political significance of race in constructions of the human. Habeas Viscus reveals the pressing need to make the insights of black studies and black feminism foundational to the study of modern humanity.

期末推荐三本书，Tim Morton's Humankind, Eric Santner's The Weight of All Flesh, Alex Weheliye's Habeas Viscus。Morton搞ooo的，Santner弄political theology/economy, Weheliye做race，但三本书都有类似的核心概念：the flesh（Morton用的是X-existence)，我教课assign了Morton的hyperobjects，备课的时候把Humankind给看了，学生写书评把Santner和Weheliye牵了出来，算是开始把握这个潜在的flesh帮，虽然这几个人好像不太对话。
