On Hate, its Objects, and the Poetics of Sexuality - George Paul Meiu

What is hate? How are the objects formed towards which it is directed? And why do sex and sexuality figure so centrally in defining the essential Otherness of various objects of hate in the contemporary world order? In this essay, I seek less a set of firm answers to these questions. Instead, I propose an exercise in the ethnographic imagination—a way to begin addressing them in more nuanced ways. Such an approach shall help us understand better how hate and its targets emerge and possibly also formulate different critiques of social inequalities premised on hate.A text by George Paul Meiu illustrated by Alexandra Hochreiter, read by Daniel Popahttps://theanthro.art/on-hate-its-objects-and-the-poetics-of-sexuality-george-paul-meiu/
