Despite, or quite possibly because of, the structuralist,
post-structuralist, and deconstructionist critiques of
subjectivity, master signifiers, and political foundations,
contemporary philosophy has been marked by a resurgence in interest
in questions of subjectivity and the political. Guided by the
contention that different conceptions of the political are, at
least implicitly, committed to specific conceptions of subjectivity
while different conceptions of subjectivity have different
political implications, this collection brings together an
international selection of scholars to explore these notions and
their connection. Rather than privilege one approach or conception
of the subjectivity-political relationship, this volume emphasizes
the nature and status of the and in the ‘subjectivity’ and
‘the political’ schema. By thinking from the place between
subjectivity and the political, it is able to explore this
relationship from a multitude of perspectives, directions, and
thinkers to show the heterogeneity, openness, and contested nature
of it. While the contributions deal with different themes or
thinkers, the themes/thinkers are linked historically and/or
conceptually, thereby providing coherence to the volume. Thinkers
addressed include Arendt, Butler, Levinas, Agamben, Derrida,
Kristeva, Adorno, Gramsci, Mill, Hegel, and Heidegger, while the
subjectivity-political relation is engaged with through the
mediation of the law-political, ethics-politics,
theological-political, inside-outside, subject-person, and
individual-institution relationships, as well as through concepts
such as genius, happiness, abjection, and ugliness. The original
essays in this volume will be of interest to researchers in
philosophy, politics, political theory, critical theory, cultural
studies, history of ideas, psychology, and sociology.
