We Need not a New But an Indecent Materialism: Transmigrant, Transfeminist and Transgender Struggles
We Need not a New But an Indecent Materialism: Transmigrant, Transfeminist and Transgender Struggles

Summary/Abstract: In the 1990s after the fall of the Berlin Wall we witnessed a blossoming of iden¬tity politics that in the form of multiculturalism was seen as a purely cultural phenomenon, but maybe we missed calling it a process of racialization that functions as matrix that sustains a monopoly on violent classifications, which decide who lives and who has to die. Therefo¬re transmigrant, transfeminist and transgender struggles have to putthe relations of capital, power and labour at the center of investigation and contestation, as well as the expropria¬ted surplus value that created superfluous populations, intensified capital’s militarization and rampant deprivation and, last but not least, the Western, Occidental, White Matrix of Power, which is the matrix of pure colonial violence.
