Domination Chronicles: Where Are We Now?

In this episode, Newcomb and d’Errico step back to ask where the work is now. They warn against turning words such as domination and discovery into slogans. Naming domination is necessary, but it is only the beginning of serious inquiry into law, religion, history, political language, and systems of control.

The conversation returns to key terms such as dominion, conquest, sovereignty, treaty, right, claim, and Johnson v. McIntosh. Each word opens a question about how domination has been asserted, disguised, and normalized. The hosts also reflect on plurality: many peoples, many languages, many ways of being in relation, rather than one imposed world or one imposed solution. This episode is a strong entry point for new listeners and a useful orientation for those already following the series. It asks us to resist the comfort of slogans and to continue the slower work of understanding how domination operates beneath familiar words.
