Kim TallBear: Settler Love Is Breaking My Heart

@ Chicago Center for Contemporary Theory (3CT)

1130 E 59th St, Chicago, IL 60637

Opening Monday, February 10th, from 5PM - 6:30PM

This talk ultimately provides a structural analysis of the role that settler love, sexuality, and family play in the imposition of settler-colonial private property relations.

TallBear arrives at this analysis via a critical autoethnographic examination of her own more-than-monogamous relating combined with a review of key texts in the history of state-sanctioned marriage in the US, Hawai’i, and Canada. She also build on polyamory literatures—both popular and academic—in this analysis, as well as Indigenous Studies and critical race literatures.
