Abstract:
This article reads the techniques of racial violence in The Buried Giant as Foucauldian environmentality and as Sloterdijk’s atmoterrorism, alongside the politics of white fragility and precarity in the neoliberal university. Teaching Ishiguro’s novel, part of the literature of white liberalism, demands resistance to a racialized comfort zone of learning.
