Notes
1. Similarly, the assumption of race converges to forge a subject position, as Fanon (Citation1967) argued:
Ontology … does not permit us to understand the being of the black man. For not only must the black man be black; he must be black in relation to the white man. … Consciousness of the body is solely a negating activity. It is a third-person consciousness. … A slow composition of my self as a body in the middle of a spatial and temporal world—such seems to be the schema. It does not impose itself on me; it is, rather, a definitive structuring of the self and of the world—definitive because it creates a real dialectic between my body and the world. (pp. 110–111)
