Drawing on continental and decolonial feminist philosophy, Spectral Inheritance: Unlearning the Maturity-trope addresses the centrality of the notions of "maturity" and "development" in discussions of human subjectivity, temporality and ethics. Building on Sylvia Wynter's framework, the dissertation proposes to read the Euromodern genres of Man in developmental terms. The notion of im/maturity organizes who is capable of sovereign self-governance and who must be governed. By analogy with a normative developmental model of a racialized figure of "the Child," immaturity-status is assigned to populations and demographics deemed incapable of self-governance. This invention of the civilizational figure of the Child is central to Developmental Man's atomistic ontology, which is premised on hierarchy, the denial of vulnerability and the severance from a constitutive web of relationality. Such severance is embedded in histories of colonization and separation of children from their communities in Euromodernity and the transgenerational inheritances thereof.In dialogue with Sylvia Wynter, Alia Al-Saji, María Lugones, Judith Butler and others, this dissertation proposes spectral inheritance as an alternative reconfiguration of the nexus of subjectivity, ethics and temporality. Displacing chrononormative developmental tropes of maturation, spectral inheritance acknowledges the coexistence of the plural past in a structure of reinvention, reconfiguration and response to and through its haunting. It insists on unlearning the response-debilitating legacies of Developmental Man and relearning a response-enabling relation to the plural past. Employing feminist figurations, Fanonian sociogeny, genealogical theories of subjectivation, and engaging feminist theories of response-ability, this text is an exercise in such spectral inheritance, asking what it means to inherit the catastrophic worlds of Developmental Man response-ably as an ongoing work of unlearning and cobecoming through a responsive relation to the plural past.

“…Pero cuando exploramos la concepción de cuerpo y persona en las epistemologías mayas, podemos ver que estas incluyen no solo al cuerpo físico de un individuo, sino también su dimensión espiritual (Ver López Intzin 2013). Muchas de estas dicotomías que heredamos de la racionalidad cartesiana moderna, que dividen cuerpo y mente, persona y colectividad, historia como hechos que sucedieron en el pasado y memoria como la reconstrucción social, e incluso la división entre humanos y no humanos, han sido desafiadas por estas epistemologías y ontologías que han inspirado el trabajo de intelectuales mesoamericanistas (ver López Austin 1988, 2001Marcos 2006Marcos , 2009.…”

En este artículo, la autora comparte sus diálogos con el intelectual maya-tseltal, Xuno López Intzin, para abrir una ventana analítica sobre las concepciones no occidentales de la memoria y el tiempo. Se centra en la experiencia acuerpada de la historia y la memoria, así como la conceptualización cíclica de tiempo de la población maya de los Altos de Chiapas. Esta perspectiva es explicada por Xuno López, en un diálogo analítico con la autora, quien se cuestiona su propia perspectiva etnohistórica lineal. Con ésto se busca contribuir a la descolonización de los estudios de la memoria aportando una perspectiva académica de esta concepción subalterna, no lineal del tiempo y la historia.

“…This scholarship has developed a perspective of power in and of development institutions and norms as historically situated in modernity, and even in British Victorian sexual norms (Ahmed 2017;Lind 2010). Contrastingly, decolonial feminisms have contributed to unveil forms of social organization based on fluid sexual dualities already existing 500 years before the term fluid sexualities entered feminist anti-essentialist lingo (Lugonés 2020;Marcos 2006). So, where do we start to tell the story of non-binary sexualities in development studies and for what purposes?…”
