Transmodern critical responses or how to counter global violence?

'Who counts as human' and who has an ownershp upon distribution of vulnerability when violence is at stake (Butler and Athanasiou 2013), and furthermore, to what extent human's own distructivness by producing “landscape of fear“ (Oslender 2004), atrocities and “social death“ worldwide challenges the limits of social imaginary and thinkability? Any critical approach to the articulation of these questions, while acknowledging the contested histories and cognitive difficulties, has the urge to cut across various analytical, and disciplinary divides. Taking into account the “decolonial turn“ that has being emerged during the last decades through critical response to capitalist/colonial modernity (Dussel, Mignolo, Quijano, Marcos, Tlostanova, Escobar, etc.) the paper will address two overlapping concerns that signify global violence within contemporaneity: dispossesion and massive human displacement. On the one hand I will try to explore the effects of dispossesion as both condition imposed by the normalizing violence and cause (razlog/uzrok) for furthering violent conflicts, on the other hand I will try to to explore how the proximity of capitalist and colonial modernity operates within global configuration of neoliberal governing. Therefore part of the overall problematic of this issue is theoretical dispute on concept of transmodernity that by implying „liberating reason“ (Dussel, 1999) undoes coloniality of power within “modern/colonial world system“ (Mignolo 2010) vs. hegemonic modernity as a paradigm of war (Maldonado-Torres 2008).
