- **Event Description**: 📢 UGent Palestine Talks Lecture Series – Spring 2026

CAIMES is pleased to invite you to the lecture “The Expansions of Spaces of Killing and the Logic of Evisceration against Gazans” by Prof. Dr. Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian (Global Chair in Law, Queen Mary University of London).

🗣️ The talk will discuss overkill during the genocide in Gaza, not as excessive brutality but as a settler-colonial formation that organizes death as a totalizing condition of life. As a colonial technology, overkill operates through the systematic evisceration of the colonized sociopolitical body—its cohesion, interdependence, and capacity for regeneration. It subjects populations to continuous and routinized death, rendering human life, family, and community continuity not sacred but instrumental. Death itself becomes capital—extracted, weaponized, and circulated as both power and commodity. In this regime, the destruction of life and infrastructure is not collateral but constitutive: overkill transforms vitality into a means of accumulation and demonstration, a currency of colonial power that is tested, displayed, and sold to produce further capital for the settler state and its global enablers. The talk will conclude by arguing that speaking about the settler colonial regime of overkill centers the unending dispossession and slaughter of the starved, maimed, wounded, displaced, almost dead, and dead as an enfleshed state criminality.
