 <hr /><h2>Abstract</h2><p>Inequality is materialised as death-disability-de
 bility. For example\, the ‘female fear factory’ (Gqola\, 2021) secures gend
 ered and queer debilitation through the use of and threat of death\, and pr
 ocesses of disablement which facilitates heteropatriarchal dominance. Racis
 t capitalist dominance is also secured through normalised attritional warfa
 re that entails the wearing down of populations through death-disability-de
 bility. Structural violence\, that is\, attritional warfare is sedimented b
 y spectacular events of violence to ensure governable and docile population
 s. How we speak and write about settler colonial violence often evades the 
 automation of warfare\, dematerialises its deployment and consequences and\
 , in some ways\, allows the effects of violence to evaporate. In this talk\
 , I will discuss the value of using death-disability-debility as a conceptu
 al apparatus\, that does not only count death and injury but uses the three
  modalities together as an analytic of injustice to offer a means to explor
 e settler colonialism as attritional warfare.</p><h2>About Kharnita Mohamed
