Notes
There is a historical dividing line between bodies that “deserve to be protected” and those that are stripped of weapons and their right to protection and left defenseless. This systematic disarmament brings back the question of resorting to violence in self-defense in every liberation movement. In 1685, the Black Code prohibited “slaves from carrying any offensive weapon or heavy stick.” In the nineteenth century, the colonial state prohibited local residents in Algeria from carrying weapons, while legalizing it for settlers. Today, the lives of some people have become so insignificant that a teenager can be killed under the pretext that he is a threat. Elsa Dorlin brings to mind the emergence of political self-defense as a vital necessity, a political process, and a practice of resistance. She concludes that it is a matter of producing creatures whose ability to defend themselves increases, the sooner they die.
