Consider the following themes that we raised in class:
1. To paraphrase thinkers like Michel Foucault and Achille Mbembé, sovereignty is the state monopolization of the right to kill.
2. There is a minute difference between the riot and the uprising, and it has to do with racisms against the people in question.
3. The tactical, technological, and ideological similarities between overseas military interventions and domestic policing are not a coincidence.
Assignment: In 300 to 500 words, answer the following question, drawing from Walter Benjamin, “Critique of Violence”, and using FPS (First Person Shooter) games like Call of Duty and Fortnite, answer the following question:
Can we gamify decolonization, or can games (FPS games in particular) only ever speak from the perspective of empire?
