This major new book offers a highly original account of ethical and
political subjectivity in contemporary culture. It makes a strong
case for a non-unitary or nomadic conception of the subject, in
opposition to the claims of ideologies such as conservatism,
liberal individualism and techno-capitalism.
Braidotti takes a bold stand against moral universalism, while
offering a vigorous defence of nomadic ethics against the charges
of relativism and nihilism. She calls for a new form of ethical
accountability that takes "Life" as the subject, not the object, of
enquiry. This ethics is presented as a fundamental reconfiguration
of our being in the world and it calls for more conceptual
creativity in the production of worldviews that can better enable
us to behave ethically in a technologically and globally mediated
world. The nomadic ethical subject negotiates successfully the
complex tension between the multiplicity of political forces on the
one hand and the sustained commitment to emancipatory politics on
the other.
"Transpositions" provides an intellectually rich guide to the
leading critical debates of our time and will be of great interest
to scholars and students throughout the humanities and social
sciences.
