Psycurity : colonialism, paranoia, and the war on imagination
Liebert, Rachel Jane
Psycurity : colonialism, paranoia, and the war on imagination - Taylor & Francis Group 2018 - Concepts for critical psychology: Disciplinary boundaries re-thought .
Across the world, the rhetoric and violence of white supremacy is rising up. Yet, explanations for white supremacist attacks typically direct attention toward an unreasonable, paranoid state of mind, and away from the neocolonial security state that made them. Offering a response to US expressions of white supremacy, Liebert reads paranoia as a dis-ease of coloniality by following its circulation within the ultimate place of reason, indeed a key arbitrator of it: Psychology. Through reflexivity, interviews, participant observation, scientific artefacts, and public art, this unique work seeks to argue for and experiment with unsettling the entwined coloniality of Psychology and the current political moment, joining with struggles for a world where it is not only white lives that matter"
