However, what produces the inequality of the outcome is not the asymmetry of recognition, but the slave’s realization that ‘life is as essential to it as pure self-consciousness’, that the original desire is impossible to fulfil because of our finitude. The master, on the other hand, has used the slave’s labour to insulate him from his own dependence in a simulation of sovereignty that leaves the other ‘to bear a disproportionate share of the costs and burdens involved in social life’ (22). In attempting to assure ourselves of a stable identity over time, our spatial solutions have been either to exclude or assimilate different others, or to include differences in a way that allocates bearers of difference specific social roles within a unified polity, both containing and managing them as a legible, ‘orderly catalog of identities’ (25).
Seventeenth-century English discourses of conquest tended to presume the infidel status of Indigenous peoples as justification for conquest. Defenders of the new colony in Virginia incorporated the presumption of England’s Lord Chief Justice Coke in Calvin’s Case (1608) that, unlike the situation of a Christian kingdom, any laws or rights that infidels may have had were abrogated on conquest, as they were presumed contrary to the laws of God and nature (Williams 1990: 199–202). Other cases of the time rejected Coke’s opinion, holding that all pre-existing laws would continue unless repugnant to the common law (McHugh 2011: 289–90).
This undermines the court’s claim to authority and the ‘Just So’ story of sovereignty, and engenders a different sort of responsibility for the decisions that are being made. Chapter 2 (Recognition) takes up the central question of recognition in Indigenous rights, drawing on critiques of the politics of cultural recognition to argue that the key issue is one of sovereignty, not merely in the obvious sense of a political monopoly of control over territory, but in an attempt to masterfully determine meaning in time through the cognitive gaze of recognition.
