If securitysecurity is essentially a question of speciesspecies, the crux of the species-security problematic lies in temporalitytemporality. To take control of speciationspeciesspeciation in a socio-political context implies controlling the temporality of the past and the future and the ontological units that experience change. In other words, the control over transitions—tropic moments of “turning” that constitute the ideological core of colonial-imperial modernitymodernity—constitutes a crucial fault line at which genocidegenocide erupts. The researcher interested in the modern phenomenon of genocidegenocide cannot fail to notice that genocide is invariably associated with moments of crucial political and historicalhistorical transitions: colonization, nation-state formation, border conflicts, imperial conquest, extractive development, etc. In that respect, genocide could be said to be a catastrophic way of handling transitiontransition. Foucault’s work on genealogy provides crucial resources for rethinking the possibility of just transitions—not only in relation to energy resources, but for modernity in general.
