    Ford, TH ; Clemens, J (Australian National University, 2019-11-30)
    In ‘Barron Field’s Terra Nullius Operation’, Thomas H. Ford and Justin Clemens show how a jurisdictional dispute over the application of taxation law in the New South Wales colony led to the performative annulment of the idea that the land—decreed ‘uninhabited’ and a ‘desert’—was already occupied.

    As Fire Burns: Philosophy, Slavery, Technology
    Clemens, J (Taylor & Francis (Routledge), 2018-03-15)
    There is an ancient, if rarely thematized bond between philosophy and slavery. As Alain Badiou has recently remarked, ‘this [rarety] is especially because from the outset everything is in some sense divided.’ For the figure of the slave divides philosophy at its inception, cutting across the divisions of the polis, freedom, and justice. My thesis is that this paradox of the slave is at once foundational and aporetic for philosophy: when the slave appears within the text of philosophy, it thereafter has certain disorganising, if revelatory effects. Moreover, the paradox of the slave is linked integrally to another ancient phenomenon: judicial torture as the model of the extraction of knowledge from a resistant or un-knowing body. This essay examines this situation, in which slavery, torture, and philosophy are variously linked, through a series of vignettes drawn from Spinoza, Plato, Aristotle, and Hegel.
