ABSTRACT
The Afro-pessimist school of thought is introduced, a framework that has become pervasive in Black cultural studies. Stemming from a particular interpretation of Frantz Fanon, the Pessimist claims that the value of Black identity is absolute nothing. As such, Black subjectivity suffers a cultural death. In response, this chapter outlines the logical foundations of our study within a system called (N, 0). This model uses one operator over a theoretical domain whose content is no one thing in particular, thus encapsulating every potential thing and, therefore, of no value as yet in a particular context. Under Ronald A. Judy's programmatic slogan, Logic nor Reason are of the sole domain of one Race or Gender, we provide the groundwork for our general theory of Articulation. Our logical model provides the first glimpse into what a subject-wise Articulation theory would mean, one in excess of identity stipulations.
