The Economy of Damnation: St. Anselm, Nietzsche, Deleuze, and Saidiya Hartman with Sean Capener

Acid Horizon continue their conversation with the folks over at
Mimbres School by sitting down with Sean Capener, who'll be
teaching their "History of Damnation" course. We read Sean's "On
the Fall of the Angels: Economic Theology After the Middle
Passage". In this paper, Sean shows how St Anselm's Christian
theories about the economy of salvation and Man's debt to God can
inform a critical view towards our own narratives about debt and
credit under racial capitalism through the mediation of figures
in contemporary Black Studies such as Saidiya Hartman and Fred
Moten.
