This Will Not Be Generative Summary

This Will Not Be Generative by Dixa Ramirez-D'Oleo (Brown University, Rhode Island)

This Will Not Be Generativeattends to thesemiotics of ecological writings via Caribbean literary studies and black critical theory. Closely reading texts by Donna Haraway, Monique Allewaert, and Lisa Wells,it exposeshowthe language of tentacles and tendrils, an assumptive 'we,' and redemptive sympathy or 'care' disguises extraction from black people and blackness. Thisoften speculative rhetoric, abetted by fantasies of white communion with indigenous groups, contrastswith the horror semiotics of the filmsGet Out (2017) and Midsommar (2019), whichunmask the antagonistic relationship between white survival 'at the end of the world' andblackness as compost.
