It is widely apparent in our hyper-globalized world that the
epistemologies, institutions, and practices underwriting it have
reached a state of profound crisis. In the globalized world,
everything is inevitably brought into proximity and correlation.
Wars, natural disasters, climatic upheaval, nor political and
economic turmoil, none of these can be effectively isolated,
insulated, instituted, even immunized, as something apart,
something that might be considered proper only to itself. This
collected edition considers this crisis of the proper with a focus
on Italian political theorist Roberto Esposito's work on community,
immunity, and biopolitics. This collection introduces Esposito's
work to a wider English-speaking audience and provides many
important contributions to the burgeoning scholarship on his
political theory. Important international scholars working in this
area examine and analyze his theory from a variety of perspectives,
including those of biopolitics, feminism, political theory, the
history of philosophy (Spinoza, Hegel, Heidegger, and Jean-Luc
Nancy), property, community, and gift economies. The collection
also includes previously untranslated essays by Esposito and
Jean-Luc Nancy. This collection will be of interest to those just
discovering Esposito and for those who are already familiar with
his work. This book was originally published as a Special Issue of
Angelaki: Journal of the Theoretical Humanities.
