| Summary: | This article questions the truly political dimension of so-called identity politics. It argues that discrimination and exclusion are never simply the exclusion or repression of this or that identity, but primarily the repression of the antagonism that demands and necessitates that exclusion. All emancipatory political struggles aim at both levels: they aim not simply to include the excluded, but also to transform the underlying social antagonisms that demand and produce these exclusions. The article further links this to the psychoanalytic concept of desire and its ontopolitical rendering in the theory of Afropessimism. The political example discussed is the recent “feminist” uprising in Iran in its non-identitarian dimension, which doesn’t simply fit into the usual Western narrative of freedoms and human rights. |
