Abstract
Abstract in EnglishInUnthinking MasteryJulietta Singh argues that anticolonial discourse hinges on the contradiction of both repudiating the “mastery” of colonialism and at the same time reproducing and advocating mastery towards anticolonial liberation. Through a close reading of Fanon, Singh demonstrates the ways in which he understood countermastery as the production of “new masterful subjects.” This paper deconstructs Fanon's countermastery through the lens of ontological insecurities to illuminate how it informs the production of contemporary decolonial discourse. This paper expands Fanon's conception of decolonial embodiment through proffering queer failure and queer of color disidentification as ways of etching towards decolonial queer-feminist praxis.Key words: Coloniality, Ontology, Queer Studies, Feminist Thinking, Frantz Fanon.
