AVERY F. GORDON
The Hawthorn Archive and the Utopian Margins
© Avery F. Gordon
The philosopher Ernst Bloch declared that ‘all given existence and being itself has utopian margins which surround actuality with real and objective possibility.’ The Hawthorn Archive gathers the histories and practices of those who have long challenged the modern racial capitalist system from the utopian margins. In this talk, Avery Gordon will discuss the Hawthorn Archive, explore some of what haunts the utopian archive as we know it, and consider the utopian margins where running away, marronage, vagrancy, rebellion, soldier desertion and other often illegible forms of escape, resistance and alternative ways of life predominate.
