Drawing on Jack Halberstam’s framing and conversations associated with Stefano Harney and Fred Moten, the text treats debt as bound to capitalism while questioning how “what is owed” can be rethought. It emphasizes common cause, dismantling limiting structures, and imagining an ongoing wild “call and response” that produces unregulated possibility.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/literature/","Literature",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/the-undercommons-fugitive-planning-black-study/322090/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/the-undercommons-fugitive-planning-black-study/322090.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Genevieve","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-22","2026-09-21",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":55},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",6,{"@type":57,"mainEntity":58},"FAQPage",[59,65,69],{"name":60,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":62},"What is the central focus of “fugitive planning and black study”?","Question",{"text":63,"@type":64},"It focuses on reaching out to find connection and making common cause with the brokenness of being, rather than offering a prescription to repair what is broken.","Answer",{"name":66,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":67},"How does the text interpret economic debt and why can it not be paid off?",{"text":68,"@type":64},"Debt is tied to capitalism and a promise of ownership that never delivers.

Kilson  \n0: THE WILD BEYOND: WITH AND FOR THE UNDERCOMMONS  \nJACK HALBERSTAM  \nIt ends with love, exchange, fellowship. It ends as it begins, in motion, in between various modes of being and belonging, and on the way to new economies of giving, taking, being with and for and it ends with a ride in a Buick Skylark on the way to another place altogether. Surprising, perhaps, after we have engaged dispossession, debt, dislocation and violence. But not surprising when you have understood that the projects of “fugitive planning and black study” are mostly about reaching out to find connection; they are about making common cause with the brokenness of being, a brokenness, I would venture to say, that is also blackness, that remains blackness, and will, despite all, remain broken because this book is not a prescription for repair.  \nIf we do not seek to fix what has been broken, then what? How do weresolve to live with brokenness, with being broke, which is also what Moten and Harney call “debt.” Well, given that debt is sometimes a history of giving, at other times a history of taking, at all times a history of capitalism and given that debt also signifies a promise of ownership but never delivers on that promise, we have to understand that debt is something that cannot be paid off. Debt, as Harney puts it, presumes a kind of individualized relation to a naturalized economy that is predicated upon exploitation. Can we have, he asks, another sense of what is owed that does not presume a nexus of activities like recognition and acknowledgement, payment and gratitude. Can debt “become a principle of elaboration”?  \nMoten links economic debt to the brokenness of being in the interview with Stevphen Shukaitis; he acknowledges that some debts should be paid, and that much is owed especially to black people by white people, and yet, he says: “I also know that what it is that is supposed to be repaired is irreparable. It can’t be repaired. The only thing we can do is tear this shit down completely and build something new.” The undercommons do not come to pay their debts, to repair what has been broken, to fix what has come undone.  \nIf you want to know what the undercommons wants, what Moten and Harney want, what black people, indigenous peoples, queers and poor people want, what we (the “we” who cohabit in the space of the undercommons) want, it is this – we cannot be satisfied with the recognition and acknowledgement generated by the very system that denies a ) that anything was ever broken and b) that we deserved to be the broken part; so we refuse to ask for recognition and instead we want to take apart, dismantle, tear down the structure that, right now, limits our ability to find each other, to see beyond it and to access the places that we know lie outside its walls. We cannot say what new structures will replace the ones we live with yet, because once we have torn shit down, we will inevitably see more and see differently and feel a new sense of wanting and being and becoming. What we want after “the break” will be different from what we think we want before the break and both are necessarily different from the desire that issues from being in the break.  \nLet’s come at this by another path. In the melancholic and visionary 2009 film version of Maurice Sandak’s Where The Wild Things Are (1963), Max, the small seeker who leaves his room, his home, his family to find the wild beyond, finds a world of lost and lonely beastsand they promptly make him their king. Max is the first king the wild things have had whom they did not eat and who did not, in turn, try to eat them; and the beasts are the first grown things that Max has met who want his opinion, his judgment, his rule. Max’s power is that he is small while they are big; he promises the beasts that he has no plans to eat them and this is more than anyone has ever promised th","cbCaimOiSd335SjF","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimOiSd335SjF","pdf",1391665,135,"English","# Dedication\n# The Wild Beyond: With and for the Undercommons\n## Love, exchange, and new economies of giving\n## Debt, repair, and capitalism’s promises\n## The undercommons: recognition refusal and dismantling\n## The wild beyond and alternative worlds\n## Call and response: riots, demand, and being already in it","[{\"question\":\"What is the central focus of “fugitive planning and black study”?\",\"answer\":\"It focuses on reaching out to find connection and making common cause with the brokenness of being, rather than offering a prescription to repair what is broken.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the text interpret economic debt and why can it not be paid off?\",\"answer\":\"Debt is tied to capitalism and a promise of ownership that never delivers.
