DESCRIPTION:This talk will try to explore the sense in which Ruth Wilson G
 ilmore’s definition of racism as ‘a practice of abstraction\, a death-
 dealing displacement of difference into hierarchies that organise relation
 s within and between the planet's sovereign political territories\,’ can
  be articulated in terms of visual regimes and artistic practices. To this
  end\, I will dwell on how Stuart Hall’s account of the violence of raci
 al abstraction – formulated in critical dialogue with Louis Althusser 
 – informed his writings on the visual\, and explore how Hall’s insight
 s can be mobilised today\, as racial regimes of vision become increasingly
  abstract and automated\, spawning new modalities of hierarchy\, displacem
 ent and violence.
