    "title": "Maroon Logics as Flight from the Euromodern",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "A critical study of marronage is urgent since certain anthropological and historical analyses have painted an image of slavery—and therefore of marronage as well—as something of the past. This text will demonstrate that marronage, rather than being simply flight from the plantation in a literal sense, also refers to flight from oppressive institutions through permanent institutional reconfiguration as well as to an existential state of \nBeing\n. In this text I sketch out ways in which marronage is made manifest within and outside Euromodernity, which I call \nmaroon logics. \nMaroon logics consists of two interdependent modes of embodying freedom and struggling for liberation. On the one hand there is \nsociogenic marronage\n, elaborated by political theorist Neil Roberts in his book \nFreedom as Marronage\n (2015), which refers to permanent institutional change as a manifestation of marronage. On the other hand, there is what I call \nanalectical marronage\n, which denotes resistance to the \ncoloniality of being.",
