| Summary: | This article develops the oppositional edge of postcolonial theologies by way of Frantz Fanons anti-colonial desire for the end of the world. It connects W. Anne Johs elaboration of jeong - the living in excess of (neo)colonial violence - to Dietrich Bonhoeffers anti-fascist critique of the godlike desires of European humanism (the sicut deus). The overall aim of the article is to clarify and assess what is at stake in a project of eschatological decolonialism. What might it mean to think theologically about salvation as abolition? And what might it look like to live from the end of the world? |
