Oceanic phantasmagorias. Daniela Zyman
This lecture explores the history of racialization from coexistence in the Iberian Peninsula to colonization in the Americas, highlighting how racial exclusion emerged alongside territorial and economic expansion.
Zyman analyzes how maritime law, in particular Hugo Grotius's concept of "free seas", legitimized a system of racial and extractive exploitation. The oceans, transformed into ownerless spaces (res nullius), facilitated trade and slavery, where captains turned men into commodities. The essay also discusses how this logic rendered invisible the politics of death, or necropolitics, that persist in today's capitalist structures. Finally, Zyman suggests that the "ghosts" of the past - marginalized historical figures and ideas - help us to decipher history and understand how the ideologies of the past continue to influence the present and shape our future.
7:30pm: followed by a conversation between Macarena Gómez-Barris, Iván López Munuera, Daniela Zyman. Moderated by Álex Martín Rod.
