This sixth issue of Alaso: Martyr

Martyr, the word gracing this sixth issue of ALASO, is a word used in everyday language to refer to a defenseless victim. However, here we employ it in its political context. The martyr theme partially derives from liberation theology-one can't help but think of the martyrdom of Jesus-but also from decolonial and Third World liberation movements. The point here is not to be hyperbolic, lest we fall into what Hortense Spillers describes as a pornotrope. In these pages, we deploy martyr as an analytical framework through which to see the lives made indispensable by capitalist, patriarchal, and supremacist exploitation, but also their resistance, their connection to the land, and their relationship with it-all fiercely opposed by this system.
