Necroviolence - problematic sources and editing

[edit]

@Keizers, @My very best wishes, @Drsruli - continuing the conversation from Talk:Necroviolence. The content from Necroviolence now appears here with a redirect. I think the content is problematic based on some of the sources, the presentation and notability. I also think the inclusion of "Necroviolence" under "Necropolitics" doesn't exactly make sense. These are not, so far as I see, entirely congruent nor is it clear that one is a subset of the other. I propose removing the section - in the previous talk page it was already raised that these might be Wikipedia:Fringe theories. Let me know what you think?

  • They are not related terms unless the inventer of "necroviolence" specifically cites Mbembe and augments his work, since "necropolitics" is his own neologism. From a WP:SYNTH perspective, I don't see how violence against graves relates in any way to "new and unique forms of social existence in which vast populations are subjected to living conditions that confer upon them the status of the living dead." And from a polemic perspective, inclusion of the Israel section shows the one-sided political slant of this term: why not also include a section on Jordan's defilement of Jewish graves after the 1948 war? Of course, it's because no anti-colonialist writer has called that "necroviolence". AllGloryToTheHypnotoad (talk) 13:30, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
