This article reflects on the modern Western dichotomy between nature and culture, highlighting the cyclical relationship between Anthropocenic violence, bio- and necro-power, and colonial and racist archives. The perspective from which it originates is situated at the intersection of cultural studies, postcolonial studies, critical race studies, material feminism, and critical visual studies. Specifically, it discusses how processes of monstrification of beings and places, exposing them to exploitation and death, reshape the meaning of human and environmental catastrophe. These processes reproduce the dichotomy between an Us-to-be-saved (culture) from the catastrophe and a Them (the Others – nature) to be sacrificed for the benefit of Us. One of the biopolitical and performative devices that materialises this dichotomy is the border, understood as a social and historical construction capable of reactivating colonial and racist categories, imaginaries, and narratives to sustain the Us/Them opposition. By analysing the figure of the fugitive as a «monster» in modernity and contemporaneity, this article seeks to contribute to the contemporary debate on racial capitalism and its counter-epistemologies. Finally, it aims to develop an epistemology of the fugitive by intersecting diverse reflections and connecting them to a feminist political project for the present. This project is based on material and visual counter-archives of care for the other, the self, and the Earth.
