Blood, according to Gil Anidjar, maps the singular history of
Christianity. As a category for historical analysis, blood can be
seen through its literal and metaphorical uses as determining,
sometimes even defining Western culture, politics, and social
practices and their wide-ranging incarnations in nationalism,
capitalism, and law. Engaging with a variety of sources, Anidjar
explores the presence and the absence, the making and unmaking of
blood in philosophy and medicine, law and literature, and economic
and political thought from ancient Greece to medieval Spain, from
the Bible to Shakespeare and Melville. The prevalence of blood in
the social, juridical, and political organization of the modern
West signals that we do not live in a secular age into which
religion could return. Flowing across multiple boundaries, infusing
them with violent precepts that we must address, blood undoes the
presumed oppositions between religion and politics, economy and
theology, and kinship and race. It demonstrates that what we think
of as modern is in fact imbued with Christianity. Christianity,
Blood fiercely argues, must be reconsidered beyond the boundaries
of religion alone.
