I’m posing the “will to feel” as a mode that reasserts the imaginary within the decolonial. Overall, the real without the imaginary lacks vision and affirms a two- dimensional, uninspired ontology and epistemology. The imagination, after all, is the door to creativity, to other ways of being and knowing. And yet, we cannot have theory without method we cannot have a materialist, grounded “real” critique without the affective body, without the people who feel, who touch, who experience and imagine other ways of being. As a deconstructive tool, does the decolonial necessarily expose colonial powers, structures, laws, and institutions? What are the flaws of a decolonial theory that regards a materialist perspective while occluding the spirit of the mind and body? It is as if the method and the theory exist in parallel universes, never to touch or entice each other but instead battle in a false binary. ![]() ![]() ![]() With everything that we love about the autumn season. ![]() These are stories filled with power and dark desire.

From the standpoint of comparative anatomy and even upon cursory inspection one can see general differences between them which do not seem connected to sex. The difficulty in comparing them lies in our inability to decide in either case what is due to sexual difference and what is not. Yet where sex is concerned woman and man are both complementary and different. In whatever way one looks at them, the difference is only one of degree. The machine is constructed the same way, the pieces are the same, they work the same way, the face is similar.
