When it comes to historical violence and contemporary inequality,
none of us are completely innocent. We may not be direct agents of
harm, but we may still contribute to, inhabit, or benefit from
regimes of domination that we neither set up nor control. Arguing
that the familiar categories of victim, perpetrator, and bystander
do not adequately account for our connection to injustices past and
present, Michael Rothberg offers a new theory of political
responsibility through the figure of the implicated subject. The
Implicated Subject builds on the comparative, transnational
framework of Rothberg's influential work on memory to engage in
reflection and analysis of cultural texts, archives, and activist
movements from such contested zones as transitional South Africa,
contemporary Israel/Palestine, post-Holocaust Europe, and a
transatlantic realm marked by the afterlives of slavery. As these
diverse sites of inquiry indicate, the processes and histories
illuminated by implicated subjectivity are legion in our
interconnected world. An array of globally prominent artists,
writers, and thinkers—from William Kentridge, Hito Steyerl, and
Jamaica Kincaid, to Hannah Arendt, Primo Levi, Judith Butler, and
the Combahee River Collective—speak to this interconnection and
show how confronting our own implication in difficult histories can
lead to new forms of internationalism and long-distance solidarity.
